Synthesis and In Vitro Antigungal Properties of 4-Aryl-4-Narylamine-1-butenes and Related Compounds

A new series of 4-aryl and 4-alkyl-4-N-arylamine-1-butenes (homoallylamines) were synthesized and some of them transformed to 4-aryl or alkylquinolines. All of them showed strong antifungal activities against human pathogenic fungi in vitro, being Epidermophyton floccosum the most susceptible species.
