Synthesis and antifungal activities of some aryl [3-(imidazol-1-yl/triazol-1-ylmethyl) benzofuran-2-yl] ketoximes

In this study, some aryl [3-(imidazol-1-yl/triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-2-yl] ketones, aryl (3-methyl-benzofuran-2-yl) ketoximes and aryl [3-(imidazol-1-yl/triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzofuran-2-yl] ketoximes were synthesised starting from 2-aryloyl-3-methyl-benzofuranes. The structure elucidation of the compounds was performed by IR, 1H-NMR, MASS spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Antifungal activities of the compounds were examined and moderate activity was obtained.
