Claim 1

A 1-(imidazolyl-1')-2-aryloxy-3-hydroxy alkane of the formula ##EQU4## in which R 1 is an optionally monosubstituted or disubstituted phenyl or naphthyl radical with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, the substituents being selected from halogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkoxy, alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl each with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogenoalkyl with 1 to 2 carbon atoms and 1 to 5 halogen atoms, halogenoalkoxy and halogenoalkylthio each with 1 or 2 carbon atoms and 3 to 5 halogen atoms, alkoxycarbonyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkoxy moiety, phenyl in the o- and p- position, amino and nitro; R 2 is alkyl with up to 6 carbon atoms, or phenylalkyl or naphthylalkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety and which may be monosubstituted on the phenyl or naphthyl moiety by fluorine, chlorine, alkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms or alkoxy with up to 4 carbon atoms; R 3 is straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or hydrogen, or a salt thereof with fungicidal activity.
