| | Certain fungicidal alphabenzyl-3-pyridylmethanol, the corresponding chloro derivatives thereof or the N-oxides thereof ... |
 | | In this procedure, the thioether of formula VII is conveniently initially reacted with a strong base, such as an alkali metal amide, for example, lithium diisopropylamide, in an inert diluent, such as a hydrocarbon or an ether or an ether-like compound, for example, tetrahydrofuran. |
 | | In this reaction, the ketone of formula X is advantageously converted with a base, such as sodium hydride or lithium diisopropylamide, in a diluent at reaction temperatures between -70.degree. |
 | | The reaction can also be carried out using a base, such as, for example, sodium hydride or lithium diisopropylamide in an inert solvent, such as an ether or an ether-like compound, for example, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane, in a temperature range between -70.degree. |
