Butoconazole (trade names Gynazole-1, Mycelex-3) is an imidazole antifungal used in gynecology. It is administered as a vaginal cream.[1][2]

Synthesis

Butoconazole synthesis:[3][4]

Reaction of epichlorohydrin with 4-chlorophenylbenzylmganeium chloride leads to 1-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-2-ol (3). Displacement with sodium imidazole, conversion of the secondary alcohol to the chloride (SOCl2), and displacement with 2,6-dichlorobenzenethiol concludes the synthesis of the antifungal butoconazole.

gollark: Why? You will have less money.

gollark: That's nice.

gollark: Here's a "helpful" illustration.

gollark: Consider the scenario: there are two boxes before you. One of the boxes (let us call it "A") is transparent and contains £10000, which you can see. The other box ("B") is opaque. It contains £1000000 if and only if the entity running this weird scenario predicted (beforehand) that you'll take box B and not box A. Historically, it has been right the vast majority of the time about this. Your options are to take both boxes, or just to take B. What do?!
