Novel compounds of Formula I and methods of making and using the compounds which are useful as fungicides, particularly in the agricultural field: <IMAGE> wherein C1 and C2 are carbon atoms which are part of an aromatic ring; W is alkoxyimino, alkoxymethylene or alkylthiomethylene; R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, wherein the alkyl or alkoxy are optionally substituted by halogen, and p is 0, 1, or 2; Z is -CH2-, -CH(OH)-, -CO-, -O-, -S-, NR2 wherein R2 is hydrogen or a lower aliphatic group, -CH2CH2-, -CH=CH-, <IMAGE> -CH2O-, -CH2S-, -CH2S(O)-, -OCH2-, -SCH2-, -S(O)CH2-, -CH2ON=C(R3)- or -CH=NB wherein B is -O-CO-, -N=CR3, or -CR3R4- wherein R3 and R4 are independently hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl optionally substituted by halogen; A is an aromatic moiety having 1-2 aromatic rings connected linearly from Z to I1 wherein the aromatic rings are optionally connected to each other and to I1 in a linear manner with oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur; q is 0 or 1. I1 is: <IMAGE> or an agronomically acceptable salt thereof. |
