Synthesis of N-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-arylaminoethyl)formamides and related compounds as potential fungicides

Abstract

The synthesis of several analogues of the chloralformamide fungicides is reported. The compounds, which comprise N-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloro- 1-arylaminoethyl)formamides and related alkoxyethyl and aryloxyethyl derivatives, exist at room temperature as two isomers due to restricted rotation about the C-N amide bond. The results of their evaluation as fungicides are reported.
