Organosulfur compounds as potential fungicides: the preparation and properties of some substituted benzyl 2-hydroxyethyl oligosulfides 

 -  Phosphorus Sulfur silicon and Related elements, 159, p.123-142, 2000 .
<br/><br/> Compounds of the general type ArCH2SnCH2CH20H (n = 1 - 4, Ar = Ph. 2-MeC6H4, or 4, Ar = 2-furyl)have been prepared as analogues of the trisulfide PhCH2SSSCH2CH20H (an antimicrobial compound which occurs in the plant Petiveria alliacea)and their potential for application as agricultural fungicides has been examined. In vim tests against Fusariurn culmorum, Fusariurn oxysporurn and Gauenomyceles graminis showed that all compounds gave 80
