[A contribution to the stereospecific synthesis of antifungal imidazolyloxime-ethers/Oxiconazole nitrate (Sgd 301-76), a new broadspectrum antifungal agent (author's transl)].

A stereospecific synthesis of antifungal imidazolyloxime-ether derivatives is reported. The compound Sgd 301-76 (oxiconazole nitrate) = (Z)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-O-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-ethanoneoxime-nitrate was selected for clinical trials. The (E)- and (Z)-assignments, respectively, were made on the basis of 1-H-NMR-spectral data.
