The oxirane derivative represented by the formula (II), which is used as the starting substance can be obtained by the following process.
Namely, by reacting the cyclopentanone represented by the formula (IV) with sulfonium ylide or oxosulfonium ylide, for instance, dimethyloxosulfonium methylide or dimethylsulfonium methylide in the presence of a diluent while following the methods described in Org. Syn. 49, 78 (1968) and in J. Amer. Chem. Soc., (1965) 1353, the oxirane derivative represented by the formula (II) is obtained (this method is referred to as A-method).
Still more, as a different method (referred to as B-method), there is a method by which a methylenecyclopentane represented by the formula (III) is obtained from a cyclopentanone represented by the formula (IV) through the Wittig reaction [refer to Org. Syn. 40, 66 (1966) and J. Org. Chem. 28, 1128 (1963)], and then the oxirane derivative represented by the formula (II) can be obtained from the thus prepared compound by the epoxidation [refer to Org. Syn. Coll. vol., 4, 552 (1963), 49, 62 (1969)].
The reaction formulae according to the abovementioned A-method and B-method are shown below. ##STR35##
Still more, the cyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (IV) can be obtained by the following method:
Namely, in the case where both R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 of the formula (IV) are the same (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl groups, a cyclopentanone compound represented by the formula (VII) is subjected to dialkylation, thereby converting into the ester derivative of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid represented by the formula (V) and the ester derivative represented by the formula (V) is subjected to hydrolysis and decarboxylation, and in the case where any one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl group and the other one is a hydrogen atom, a desired benzyl group is introduced into the alkylcyclopentane carboxylate derivative represented by the formula (VIII) to obtain the ester derivative of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid represented by the formula (V) and then the thus obtained ester derivative is subjected to hydrolysis and decarboxylation. By doing so, the cyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (IV) can be obtained.
Further, in the case where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 of the formula (IV) are the mutually different (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl groups, after introducing a different (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl group into an ester derivative of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid represented by formula (V) in which either of R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl group and the other (remainder) is a hydrogen atom, the obtained ester derivative is subjected to hydrolysis and decarboxylation, thereby obtaining the desired derivative represented by the formula (IV).
The reaction form of the above-mentioned cyclopentanone is shown below. ##STR36##
By the way, the compounds shown in the formulae (VII) and (VIII) are known and can be obtained from an alkyl ester of 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylic acid by the method described in Org. Syn. 45, 7 (1965) and J. Org. Chem. 29, 2781 (1964).

Still more, in the process for producing the azole derivative according to the present invention, the reaction is carried out in the coexistence of a base or an acid in addition to the above-mentioned diluent. As the base used herein, alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc.; alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.; alkali metal alcoholates such as sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium tertiarybutylate, etc.; alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride, potassium hydride, etc,; alkyl compounds of an alkali metal such as n-butyl lithium, etc. and as the others, triethylamine, pyridine may be exemplified.
As the acid, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, etc. and organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc. may be exemplified.
In order to enforce the process for production of the azole derivative according to the present invention, for instance, in the case of obtaining the ester derivative of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid represented by the formula (V), it is preferable to react a halogenated alkyl or a substituted benzyl halide with the compound represented by the formula (VII) or the formula (VIII) which has been dissolved in the diluent, in the presence of the base as occasion demands. The reaction temperature may be selected optionally in the range of from the solidifying temperature of the diluent as the solvent to the boiling point thereof, preferably from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C.
The derivative represented by the formula (IV) can be obtained by subjecting the ester derivative of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid represented by the formula (V) to decarboxylation at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 150.degree. C. with the inorganic acid or organic acid for from 2 to 24 hours, preferably under agitation.
In order to produce the oxirane derivative represented by the formula (II), in the case of applying the A-method, it is preferable to add a solution prepared by dissolving a ketone represented by the formula (IV) in the diluent (particularly, dimethylsulfoxide is preferable) to dimethyloxosulfonium methylide or dimethylsulfonium methylide prepared by equivalently mixing the base (for instance, sodium hydride) and trimethyloxosulfonium iodide or trimethylsulfonium iodide, and to react the two compounds.
In this case, the reaction amount of dimethyloxosulfonium methylide or dimethylsulfonium methylide is preferably from 1.0 to 2.0 equivalent amount of the cyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (IV). The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature in the range of from 25.degree. to 100.degree. C. for from 1 to 40 hours.
On the other hand, in the case where the production is carried out by the B-method, the cyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (IV) is added to triphenylphosphine methylide (Wittig reagent) prepared by equivalently mixing the base (for instance, sodium hydride), and methyltriphenylphosphonium halide in the diluent (particularly, dimethylsulfoxide is preferable), and to react the two compounds for from 2 to 10 hours at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. The thus formed methylenecyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (III) is isolated, dissolved in the diluent and reacted at a temperature of from -10.degree. C. to the boiling point of the diluent, preferably from -10.degree. to 80.degree. C. after adding hydrogen peroxide or an organic per- acid such as peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, etc.
The oxirane compound (II) obtained from the cyclopentanone derivative represented by the formula (IV) by the A-method or B-method takes the following stereoisomeric structures concerning the conformation of the oxirane group at the 3-position and the substituted benzyl group at the 7-position in the 1-oxaspiro[2,4]heptane of the oxirane compound represented by the formula (II): ##STR37##
The separation of these stereoisomers represented by the formulae (II-A) and (II-B) can be carried out by, for instance, chromatography (thin-layer chromatography, column chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, etc.). The characteristics of the structure of these stereoisomers can be found by, for instance, NMR spectrum.
In order to obtain the azole derivative represented by the formula (I), the oxirane compound represented by the formula (II) is added in the presence of the base as occasion demands, to a solution prepared by dissolving the azole compound represented by the formula (VI) into the diluent, or conversely, an alkali metal salt of the azole compound is added to a solution prepared by dissolving the oxirane compound in the diluent, to react the two compounds. The reaction temperature may be selected optionally in the range of from the solidifying point to the boiling point of the diluent, however, practically, it is preferable to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 120.degree. C., more preferably from 60.degree. to 120.degree. C. for from one to 10 hours under agitation.
After finishing the reaction, the thus obtained reaction mixture is cooled and extracted by an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, chloroform, methylene chloride, benzene, etc. in a iced water. After separating the organic layer, washing it with water and drying the washed layer, the solvent is distilled off under a reduced pressure from the organic layer. By subjecting the thus obtained residue to purification treatment, the objective compound can be obtained. The purification treatment can be carried out by subjecting the residue to recrystallization, silica gel-chromatography, etc.
Because of the existence of the two isomers represented by the formulae (II-A) and (II-B) in the oxirane compound which is the starting compound of the azole derivative represented by the formula (I), there are the following stereoisomers in the objective azole derivative represented by the formula (I) which is obtained by the reaction of the oxirane compound represented by the formula (II) and 1,2,4-triazole or imidazole represented by the formula (VI): ##STR38##
Of course, the separation of the isomers represented by the formulae (I-A) and (I-B) can be carried out by, for instance, chromatography.

EXAMPLE 23
Antifungal test against several pathogenic fungi.
The present example shows the results of the antifungal property of the azole derivative according to the present invention against various plant-pathogenic fungi.
Test method
The compound according to the present invention is dissolved into dimethyl sulfoxide so as to give a solution of the predetermined concentration and 0.6 ml of the thus prepared solution is well mixed with 60 ml of the PAS culture medium of about 60.degree. C. in a conical flask of 100 ml in capacity. The thus formed mixture is poured into a glass dish and is solidified to be a flat culture medium containing the compound.
On the other hand, the test fungus, which has been preliminarily cultured in a flat culture medium, is striked by a cork borer of 4 mm in diameter and the thus striked piece of the culture medium containing the test fungus is inoculated on the flat culture medium containing the compound. After inoculation, the thus prepared culture medium containing the compound and the fungus is cultured for from 1 to 3 days at an appropeiate temperature for growing each of the fungi, and the growth of the fungus is measured by the diameter of the fungal colony. By comparing the growth of the fungus in the thus prepared culture medium with that in the untreated plot (the culture medium not containing the compound), the rate of inhibiting the mycelial growth of the fungus is obtained according to the following formula.
R=(dc-dt) 100/dc
wherein R is the rate of inhibiting the mycelial growth; dc is the diameter of fungal colony on the flat medium not containing the compound and dt is the diameter of fungal colony on the flat medium containing the compound
The results are evaluated into 5 stages according to the following standards and shown in Table 11. Rate of inhibiting the mycelial growth:
5: The rate of inhibiting the growth is not smaller than 90-100%
4: The rate of inhibiting the growth is not smaller than 70% and below 90%
3: The rate of inhibiting the growth is not smaller than 40% and below 70%
2: The rate of inhibiting the growth is not smaller than 20% and below 40%
