13C NMR spectra and biological activity of N-(1 H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzamides.

Derivatives of 1 H-benzimidazol-2-amine and halo-, nitro-, methoxy-, and hydroxy-substituted benzoic acids were synthesized, and their fungicide activity against pure Fusarium culmorum and Helminthosporium sativum cultures and pathogenic microflora of wheat and barley seeds in laboratory and field tests was studied. Some compounds were found to exhibit a strong fungicide activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
