1-[2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-pentyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole can be produced, in a novel, simple, economical and isomer-free form, by reacting 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-valeronitrile, in the presence of hydrogen, an acid and a hydrogenation catalyst, with a compound H2 N--NH--R to a compound of the formula STR1 hydrogenating the compound (III) catalytically to a compound STR2 hydrolysing compounds (IV) wherein R is not hydrogen, and converting the compounds (IV) wherein R=H, or salts thereof, with formamide and/or [3-(dimethylamino)-2-azaprop-2-en-1-ylidene]-dimethylammonium chloride, into 1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-pentyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole, or converting compounds (IV) wherein R=--COR', with aqueous formic acid, into the corresponding N,N'-bisformyl derivatives, and reacting these with formamide, optionally in the presence of NH3, to 1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-pentyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole. R in the formulae is hydrogen, --CHO, --COR', --COOR' or --CONH2, and R' is C1 -C4 -alkyl, benzyl or phenyl. 1-[2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-pentyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole exhibits fungicidal activity, and can be used to control phytopathogenic fungi.
