Synthesis and Fungicidal Activity of Substituted (E)-3-Phenyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (E,Z)-O-Alkyl- and O-Benzyloximes

Abstract

Previously unknown substituted (E)-3-phenyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (E,Z)-O-alkyl- and O-benzyloximes were synthesized by oximation of (E)-3-phenyl-1-(pyridin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones (azachalcones), followed by alkylation of the resulting oximes under different conditions. The synthesized compounds showed a good fungicidal activity.
