Halogenated triazolylvinyl keto and carbinol compounds and plant growth regulant and fungicidal compositions

Abstract

Halogenated triazolylvinyl keto derivatives and carbinol derivatives of the general formula ##STR1## in which A represents a keto group or a CH(OH) grouping, X represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, Y represents a halogen atom, R represents a halogen atom, an alkyl, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkoxy, alkoxy, alkylthio, halogenoalkylthio, alkylamino, dialkylamino, nitro, cyano, hydroxyl or alkylcarbonyloxy radical, an optionally substituted phenyl radical, an optionally substituted phenoxy radical or an optionally substituted benzyloxy radical and n is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and physiologically acceptable acid addition salts and metal salt complexes thereof are outstandingly effective as plant growth regulators and as fungicides. The inventive compounds can be prepared by reacting a triazolylketone with an aldehyde.
