Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0223-5234(92)90183-2

The synthesis of some 2-aryl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethane derivatives and related 1H-1,2,4- and 1H-1,3,4-triazoles is described. The molecular structure of new derivatives has been established by 1H NMR spectra and X-ray crystallographic analysis. When tested in solid agar cultures the azole derivatives showed from moderate to potent in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Candida spp.
