- 1. A compound of the formula:
- wherein:
- R' is phenyl bearing one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen and cyano;
- R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, which may be the same or different, are each hydrogen or a 1-6C alkyl radical;
- one of R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 is hydrogen and the other is a styryl radical substituted in the phenyl ring by one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of:
- halogen atoms;
- cyano, nitro, and 1-6C alkoxy, halogenoalkyl and halogenoalkoxy radicals;
- provided that R.sup.1 is a phenyl radical bearing at least one cyano substituent, or at least one of R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 is a styryl radical, substituted in the phenyl ring thereof by at least one substituent selected from cyano, nitro and 1-6C halogenoalkoxy or an acid addition salt of those compounds which contain a basic substituent.
- 2. A compound as claimed in claim 1 wherein R.sup.1 is a fluorophenyl radical, R.sup.4 is hydrogen and R.sup.5 is a styryl radical substituted in the phenyl ring by a cyano, 1-4C alkoxy bearing 1 to 4 fluorine substituents.
- 3. A compound as claimed in claim 2 wherein R.sup.1 is 2,4-difluorophenyl, R.sup.4 is hydrogen and R.sup.5 is a 4-(difluoromethoxy)styryl, trifluoromethoxystyryl, 4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)styryl, 4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)styryl, 4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)styryl, 4-(1-methyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)styryl, 4-cyanostyryl.
- 4. A pharmaceutical or veterinary antifungal composition comprising an antifungally effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1 together with a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable diluent or carrier.
- 5. A plant antifungal composition comprising an antifungally effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1 together with a non-pharmaceutical diluent or carrier.
- 6. A method of combatting fungal diseases in a plant, which comprises applying to the plant, or to the locus of the plant, an antifungally effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1.
- 7. A method of treating a fungal infection in an animal host which comprises administering to said host an antifungally effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1.
