Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00143a019

The synthesis of 1-<<2-aryl-4-(arylalkyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl>methyl>-1H-imidazoles is described starting with phenylacetyl bromides or 1-(phenylacetyl)imidazoles.The compounds were generally obtained as cis/trans mixtures and found to be active in vitro against dermatophytes, yeasts, other fungi, and Gram-positive bacteria.Some also showed good activity against Candida albicans in vivo.
