The invention relates to new thiazole compounds of the general formula <CHEM> wherein R is an C1-C12 alkyl group or a phenyl group, which groups are unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, nitro or cyano; R1 is a cyano group; a formyl group; an alkylcarbonyl or alkoxycarbonyl group having 2-5 carbon atoms; or a substituted or non-substituted benzoyl group; R2 is a hydrogen atom; a halogen atom; an amino group; an amino group substituted with 1 or 2 substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C5 alkynyl, C2-C5 alkylcarbonyl and C2-C5 alkoxycarbonyl; an alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms; or a substituted or non-substituted aryl, aryloxy, arylthio, arylsulphinyl or arylsulphonyl group; and n is 1 or 2. The new compounds show a fungicidal activity and may be used in particular against plant pathogenic seed fungi and soil fungi. |
