title: Syntheses and antifungal activity of dl-griseofulvin and its congeners. III.
abstract: Several congeners (1b-g), with novel substituents on the benzene ring of griseofulvin, were prepared by the application of a synthetic method developed by us. Antifungal activity of these congeners decreased in order of dl-griseofulvin (1a) = 1d > 1b, c >> 1e-f (inactive). The relationship between the antifungal activity and the position or kind of substituents on the benzene ring of griseofulvin is discussed.
