A compound (II), a starting material, is alkynylated with an alkynyl halide at room temperature to 100.degree. C. in the presence of a base (e.g. potassium carbonate, sodium methoxide) to obtain a compound (IIa). The compound (IIa) is then iodinated at 0.degree. C. to 20.degree. C. to synthesize a compound (Ia), which is then oxidized with a peracid (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) at room temperature to 100.degree. C. to obtain a sulfoxide or sulfone (Ib). The sulfone (Ib) is substituted with an alcohol, thiol or amine at 0.degree. C. to room temperature in the presence of a base to obtain a compound (Ic). This substitution may be carried out before iodination of the alkynyl group. That is, the compound (IIb) obtained by the oxidation of the compound (IIa) is substituted with an alcohol, thiol or amine to obtain a compound (IIc), and then the compound (Ic) can be synthesized by iodination of the compound (IIc). Similarly, compounds having an iodoalkynyloxyalkylthio group, etc. at the 5-position can also be synthesized. For example, a compound (IId), a starting material, is reacted in the presence of a base to obtain a compound (IIe), which is then iodinated to obtain a compound (Id). Also, a compound (III), a starting material, is successively and stepwise reacted with an alkyl halide and alkynyl halide to obtain a compound (IIIa), which is then iodinated to obtain a compound (Ie). The compounds (II) and (III), a material, can be synthesized by the methods described in the literatures [J.O.C., 28, 2163 (1962); J.O.C., 29, 665 (1965)], respectively.
In every reaction, any solvent may be used if it is a solvent which does not disturb the reaction. For example, there are given ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.; ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, monoglyme, diglyme, etc.; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloroethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethane.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, toluene, etc.; nitriles such as acetonitrile, etc.; dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide, water and mixed solvents obtained by combination of these solvents. When a two-phase reaction is carried out with the mixed solvent, phase transfer catalysts such as triethylbenzylammonium chloride, trioctylmethylammonium chloride, etc. can also be used.

Defoaming agents, for example silicone oil, etc., can also be added.
When the present compound is used as agricultural and horticultural fungicides, the proper amount of the active ingredient varies with various factors such as for example object of use, target crops, condition of growth of crops, tendency of outbreak of diseases, weather, environmental conditions, preparation forms, how, where and when the fungicides are used, and the like. However, the amount thereof is selected from the range of 0.1 g to 1 kg/10 ares.
The blending ratio of the active ingredient can be increased or decreased as need arises. When the active ingredient is formulated into dusts or granules, its blending ratio is usually 0.5 to 20%, and when it is formulated into emulsifiable concentrates, suspension formulations or wettable powders, its blending ratio is usually 0.1 to 90%.
The agricultural and horticultural fungicide containing the present compound as an active ingredient may also be used in mixture with other agricultural and horticultural fungicides with the object of decreasing the amount of the medicine in order to extend the range of target diseases to be controlled and to make longer a period during which the fungicides can be used for controlling. The agricultural and horticultural fungicides containing the present compound as an active ingredient shows a remarkable fungicidal effect on the foregoing diseases doing damage to crops in paddy field, crops in upland field, fruit trees, vegetables, other crops, flowers and ornamental plants, etc. Therefore, at a time when outbreak of the diseases is forecast, by just timely applying the fungicide to water in paddy field, soil in upland field and foliage of fruit trees, vegetables, other crops and flowers and ornamental plants before outbreak of the diseases or at a point when the outbreak has been confirmed, the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention exhibits an expected effect.

When the present compound is used for wood preservatives, it is applied to wood by means such as surface treatment, pressure injection and vacuum injection. The surface treatment is carried out by applying the present compound to wood part as it is or in dilution with water by coating, spraying, dipping and the like. Alternatively, by adding the present compound to a plywood adhesive and applying the adhesive, particularly, to building materials, the present compound can be used as a controlling agent for wood-rotting fungi.
The medicine used in the treatment varies with the kind of preparations, when, where and how the preparation is used, kind of wood-rotting fungi, degree of damage, etc. Usually, however, it will suffice to apply the medicine containing the active ingredient in an amount of 0.1 to 40 g per 1 m.sup.2 of wood part.
When the present compound is used as wood preservatives, it may be used in mixture with other wood preservatives, insecticides, acaricides, termiticides, fungicides and/or bactericides or synergists with the object of decreasing the content of the active ingredient of the present invention or extending the effect of the active ingredient.

The present compound is also useful as antimycotic agents useful to disinfect the hands and feet of man and animals and treat mycotic infection. For example, these antimycotic agents can be used to treat local mycotic infection, mucosa infection and general mycotic infection caused by Trichophyton, Candida, Aspergillus and the like. The present compound is used alone, or, before use, it is mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier or diluent to prepare a composition, which is then formulated into preparations having a form suitable for oral or parenteral administration such as for example liquid formulations, tablets, suppositories, emulsions, ointments, creams, lotions, poultices and the like. If necessary, these preparations may contain auxiliaries, stabilizers, wetting agents or emulsifiers, buffer solutions and other commonly used additives. The amount of the compound administered varies with symptom, age, body weight, administration form, etc. In the case of general treatment, however, the amount is usually 0.05 to 100 mg, preferably 0.5 to 50 mg/1 kg of body weight/day/one adult, and this amount can be taken in one dose or several doses. In the case of local treatment, an optimum concentration of the active ingredient is 0.001% to 5%, preferably 0.1 to 2%.

Test Example 1
Test for wood rotting-preventing effect
The following fungi were cultured in agar media, respectively, and mycelial disks on the media were stamped out together with the agar using a cork borer of 4 mm in diameter. The resulting mycelial disks on agar were used as an inoculum. Each test compound of 50 ppm was added to a malt extract agar medium and added in parts to Petri dishes. The above prepared inoculum was put on the Petri dishes and cultured at 28.degree. C..+-.2.degree. C.

2-2 Test for controlling effect on downy mildew of cucumber (Pseudoperonospora cubensis)
A test compound adjusted to 200 ppm was sprayed onto cucumber at the 2-leaf stage cultivated in pots. After one day, the cucumber was inoculated by spraying the zoospore suspension of Pseudoperonospora cubensis. After inoculation, the cucumber was placed in a 25.degree. C.-humid room for 1 day and then in a greenhouse for 6 days. Thus, the cucumber was made to be infected with downy mildew. The control of disease of the test compound is calculated by comparing the degree of infection of each leaf with that in the untreated plot. The control of disease is shown as a controlling effect in the same manner as in Test Example 2-1. The results are shown in Table 3.
2-3 Test for controlling effect on sheath blight of rice (Rhizoctonia solani)
Rice seedlings at the 4-leaf stage were inoculated with the mycelium of sheath blight of rice (Rhizoctonia solani). After 24 hours, a test medicine solution adjusted to 200 ppm was sprayed onto the seedlings. After air-drying, the seedlings were placed in a humid room for 24 hours where the temperature was kept at 28.degree. C. and humidity was kept at 98%. Thereafter, the seedlings were transferred to a greenhouse, and five days after inoculation, the degree of infected area was examined. The control of disease was calculated by comparison with that in the untreated plot. The control of disease is shown as a controlling effect in the same manner as in Test Example 2-1. The results are shown in Table 3.

Test for an effect as antimycotic agent
3-1 In vitro antimycotic activity on Candida albicans
Candida albicans IFO 1270 pre-cultured on a Sabouraud's glucose agar (SGA) plate medium at 37.degree. C. for hours was suspended in a sterilized physiological salt solution. The number of fungi in the resulting suspension was counted with a globulimeter, and adjusted so as to be 1.times.10.sup.7 cell/ml with a sterilized physiological salt solution. This solution was used as an inoculum solution. Thereafter, 0.1 ml of this solution and 0.1 ml of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution of the test compound were added to 9.8 ml of Sabouraud's glucose broth (SGB), and shake-cultured at 37.degree. C. for 48 hours. After culture, the medium turbidity was measured at 650 nm, and the growth-inhibitory rate of the fungus was calculated according to the following equation.
Growth inhibitory rate (%)=(1-W/Y).times.100

3-2 In vitro antimycotic activity on Aspergillus fumigatus.
To Aspergillus fumigatus TIMM 0063 precultured at 37.degree. C. for 48 hours on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) slant medium was added a sterilized physiological salt solution containing 0.1%(W/V) Tween 80. After conidia were made free from the solution, the solution was filtered through a sterilized two-sheet gauze to remove the mycelium mass. The number of the conidia in the resulting suspension was counted with a globulimeter and adjusted so as to be 1.times.10.sup.5 conidia/ml with a sterilized physiological salt solution containing 0.1%(W/V) Tween 80. This solution was used as an inoculum solution. Casitone agar plate medium containing the DMSO solution of the test compound in a rate of 1% (V/V) was inoculated with the inoculum solution at four places thereof with a microplanter, and cultured with the medium allowed to stand at 37.degree. C. for 48 hours. After culture, the diameter of the mycelium disks cultivated at the four inoculated parts was measured, and its mean value was obtained. The growth inhibitory rate was calculated according to the following equation, and the antimycotic activity was shown in the same manner as in Test Example 3-1. The test results of the test compounds are shown in Table 4.
