Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions include heteroaromatic compounds having a disease-modifying action in the treatment of fungal infections and diseases associated with fungal infection.

Abstract: This invention pertains to phosphosulfonates, having the general formula ##STR1## wherein Y is phenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, a (C.sub.5 -C.sub.8)cycloalkyl, a 5-membered heteroaromatic ring, a 6-membered heteraromatic ring, a fused 5,6-membered heteroaromatic ring, or a fused 6,6-membered heteroaromatic ring; andX is oxygen or sulfur; andR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, haloalkoxy, cyanoalkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, cycloalkyloxy, cycloalkylalkoxy, alkylideneiminooxy, chloro, amino, phenyl or phenoxy; or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are both alkoxy, taken together with the phosphorus atom to form a 6-membered oxygen-containing ring; compositions containing these compounds and their use as herbicides.
