Triazole compounds, and their production

Abstract

A triazole compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a hydrogen atom or a chlorine atom, which can be produced by subjecting an aromatic aldehyde of the formula: ##STR2## wherein X is as defined above, an alpha-halopinacolone of the formula: ##STR3## wherein Hal is a chlorine atom or a bromine atom and 1,2,4-triazole to condensation in the presence of an alkali, is useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of anti-microbial triazole-alcohols with high purity and high yield.
