The antifungal activity of nitroxyl radicals-derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl with reactive substituents 4-isothiocyanato-, 4-isocyano-, and 4-isoselenocyanato- and of N-formyl-, N-thioformyl-, N-selenoformyl-derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine was investigated. Those of the above compounds, which contain a sulfur or selenium atom are the most active against four fungus plant patogens: Botrytiscinerea, Fusariumculmorum, Phytophthoracactorum, Rhizoctoniasolani. 4-Isoselenocyanato-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl proved to be the most active compound.
