1-aryl-pyrazoles, pesticidal compositions and use

The invention relates to new 1-arylpyrazoles, a process for their preparation and their use as agents for combating pests, in particular as insecticides and acaricides.
It is already known that certain pyrazole derivatives, such as, for example, 1-cyclohexyl-5-[N,N-(dimethyl)-carbamoyloxy]-3-methylthiomethyl-pyrazole or 1-cyclohexyl-5-[N,N-(dimethyl)-carbamyloxy]-3-methylsulphonyl-methyl-pyrazole, have an insecticidal, nematicidal and fungicidal action.
The level of action and duration of action of these compounds, however, are not always completely satisfactory in all fields of use, especially against certain insects or when low concentrations are applied.
New 1-aryl-pyrazoles of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R.sup.2 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl or in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl,
R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or halogen,
Ar represents optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl and
n represents the number 0, 1 or 2,
have now been found.
It has furthermore been found that the new 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) ##STR3## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, alkyl or halogenoalkyl,
R.sup.2 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl or in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl,
R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or halogen,
Ar represents optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl and
n represents the number 0, 1 or 2,
are obtained by a process in which 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazoles of the formula (II) ##STR4## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Ar and n have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with an inorganic or organic nitrite in the presence of a reaction auxiliary, and if appropriate in the presence of a hydrogen halide acid and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent.
Finally, it has been found that the new 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) have insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
Surprisingly, 1-arylpyrazoles of the general formula (I) according to the invention exhibit a considerably better insecticidal and acaricidal activity than the pyrazole derivatives known from the prior art, such as, for example, 1-cyclohexyl-5-[N,N-(dimethyl)-carbamyloxy]-3-methylthiomethyl-pyrazole or 1-cyclohexyl-5-[N,N-(dimethyl)-carbamyloxy]-3-methylsulphonylmethyl-pyrazole, which are closely related compounds chemically and from the point of view of their action.

Formula (II) provides a general definition of the 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazoles required as starting substances for carrying out the process according to the invention. In this formula (II), R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Ar and n preferably represent those radicals which have already been mentioned as preferred for these substituents and indices in connection with the description of the substances of the formula (I) according to the invention.
The 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazoles of the formula (II) are the subject of commonly assigned application Ser. No. 690,347, filed Jan. 10, 1985, now pending and Ser. No. 858,475, filed Apr. 30, 1986, now pending, corresponding to German Patent Application Nos. P 3 402 308 and 3 517 843.
They are obtained by a process in which 4-thiocyanato-5-aminopyrazoles of the general formula (III) ##STR54## in which R.sup.1 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, or bis-(pyrazolyl) disulphides of the formula (IV) ##STR55## in which R.sup.1 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with halides of the formula (V)
R.sup.2 --Hal.sup.1 (V)

C., and, if appropriate, the 5-amino-pyrazoles thus obtained, of the formula (IIa) ##STR57## 5 in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, are then oxidized on the sulphur of the sulphenyl group in the 4-position of the pyrazole ring with oxidizing agents of the formula (VIII)

in which R represents hydrogen, or represents in each case optionally substituted alkanoyl or aroyl, and preferably represents hydrogen, or represents acetyl, or represents propionyl, or represents trifluoroacetyl, or represents optionally substituted benzoyl, such as, for example, 3-chlorobenzoyl or 4-nitrobenzyl, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, methylene chloride, if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst, such as, for example, ammonium molybdate, and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, such as, for example, sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and 50.degree. C.
The 4-thiocyanato-5-aminopyrazoles of the formula (III) are known in some cases (compare, for example, Farmaco Ed. Sci. 38, 274-282 (1983). They are obtained, for example, by a process in which 4-unsubstituted 5-aminopyrazoles of the formula (VI) ##STR58## in which R.sup.1 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with ammonium thiocyanate in the presence of bromine and acetic acid at temperatures between -20.degree. C. and +20.degree. C.
The bis-(pyrazole) disulphides of the formula (IV) are not yet known. They are obtained by a process in which the 4-thiocyanato-5-amino-pyrazoles described above, of the formula (III), are reacted with aqueous hydrochloric acid, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, ethanol, at temperatures between 20.degree. C. and 120.degree. C.
The halides of the formula (V) are generally known compounds of organic chemistry.
The 4-unsubstituted 5-aminopyrazoles of the formula (VI) are known in some cases (compare, for example, J. Org. Chem. 36, 2972-2974 (1971) or J. Hetero-cyclic Chemistry 7, 345-349 (1970); and C.A. 62: 13137c).
They are obtained, for example, by a process in which arylhydrazines of the formula (IX)
Ar--NH--NH.sub.2 (IX)
in which Ar has the abovementioned meaning, are either initially reacted in a 1st stage with acrylonitrile derivatives of the formula (X) ##STR59## in which R.sup.1 has the abovementioned meaning,
R.sup.5 represents hydrogen or alkoxycarbonyl and
A represents halogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, amino or dialkylamino,
if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, ethanol or glacial acetic acid, and if appropriate in the presence of a reaction auxiliary, such as, for example, sodium acetate, at temperatures between -20.degree. C. and +20.degree. C., to give the arylhydrazine derivatives of the formula (XI) ##STR60## in which Ar, R.sup.1 and R.sup.5 have the abovementioned meaning, and these are cyclized in a 2nd stage, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, at temperatures between +50.degree. C. and +150.degree. C., or are cyclized directly in one reaction step, without isolation of the intermediate stage of the formula (XI), if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, at temperatures between +50.degree. C. and +150.degree. C., directly to give the 5-aminopyrazoles of the formula (VIa) ##STR61## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.5 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, and, in the case where R.sup.5 represents alkoxycarbonyl, the compounds of the formula (VIa) are hydrolyzed and decarboxylated in the generally customary manner, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, ethanol or isopropanol, and if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst, such as, for example, hydrobromic acid, at temperatures between 50 .degree. C. and 150.degree. C.
The arylhydrazines of the formula (IX) are known (compare, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,575; U.S. Pat. No. 3,609,158; DE-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,558,399; and J. Chem. Soc. C, 1971, 167-174), or they can be prepared by processes which are known in principle, in a simple analogous manner (compare Houben-Weyl "Methoden der organischen Chemie" ("Methods of Organic Chemistry") Volume X, 2 page 203, Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1967).
The acrylonitrile derivatives of the formula (X) are generally known compounds of organic chemistry.
The sulphenyl halides of the formula (VII) are generally known compounds of organic chemistry.
The oxidizing agents of the formula (VIII) are likewise generally known compounds of organic chemistry.
Possible diluents for carrying out the process according to the invention are all the solvents which are usually customary for such diazotization reactions. Solvents which are preferably used are hydrocarbon halides, such as chloroform or bromoform, or aqueous acids, such as, for example, hydrogen halide acids or sulphuric acid, the acid component simultaneously functioning as the reagent and/or as the reaction auxiliary. If bromoform is used as the diluent, as a rule the corresponding 5-bromo-pyrazoles are obtained, bromoform simultaneously functioning as the diluent and as the reagent.
The corresponding reaction in the presence of chloroform as the diluent in general gives a mixture of 5-chloro-pyrazole compounds of the formula (I) and the analogous reduced compounds of the formula (I) which carry a hydrogen radical in the 5-position of the pyrazole ring. These mixtures can be separated by distillation.
The process according to the invention is carried out in the presence of an inorganic or organic nitrite. Possible nitrites are all the nitrite compounds usually customary for such diazotization reactions. Nitrites which are particularly preferably used are alkali metal nitrites, such as, for example, sodium nitrite, or alkyl nitrites, such as, for example, t-butyl nitrite.
If appropriate, the process according to the invention is carried out in the presence of a hydrogen halide acid. In this case, 1-aryl-pyrazoles of the formula (I) in which the radical R.sup.3 represents a halogen radical corresponding to the anion of the hydrogen halide acid used are obtained as reaction products. In each case aqueous solutions of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or hydriodic acid are preferably used.
The process according to the invention is usually carried out in the presence of a reaction auxiliary. Possible reaction auxiliaries are, in particular, strong mineral acids, such as sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid, or the abovementioned hydrogen halide acids, which in this case simultaneously act as the reagent and as the catalyst.
If appropriate, the process according to the invention can be carried out in the presence of a suitable reducing agent. In this case, 1-aryl-pyrazoles of the formula (I) in which the radical R.sup.3 represents hydrogen are obtained as reaction products. The reducing agent which is particularly preferably used in these cases is hypophosphorous acid (H.sub.3 PO.sub.2).
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range in carrying out the process according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures between -30.degree. C. and +60.degree. C., preferably at temperatures between -20.degree. C. and +40.degree. C.
For carrying out the process according to the invention, in general 1.0 to 1.8 moles of nitrite, if appropriate 1.0 to 20.0 moles, preferably 1.0 to 10.0 moles, of hydrogen halide acid, if appropriate 1.0 to 50.0 moles, preferably 1.0 to 20.0 moles, of reducing agent and if appropriate 1.0 to 20.0 moles, preferably 1.0 to 10.0 moles, of mineral acid used as a reaction auxiliary are employed per mole of 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazole of the formula (II).
The nitrite is usually added here in small portions, if appropriate dissolved in a suitable diluent, to the reaction mixture consisting of 5-amino-1-aryl-pyrazole of the formula (II), mineral acid, diluent and hydrogen halide acid or reducing agent.
The reaction products of the formula (I) are worked up and isolated by customary methods, for example by filtering off crystalline products or by extraction with a suitable organic solvent. Identification is by the melting point or proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum.
Alternatively, compounds of the formula (Ia) according to the invention ##STR62## in which R.sup.2 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning and
p represents the number 1 or 2,
are obtained from the compounds of the formula (Ib) according to the invention ##STR63## in which R.sup.2 and Ar have the abovementioned meaning, by a process in which oxidation is carried out on the sulphur of the sulphenyl group in the 4-position of the pyrazole ring in the customary manner with oxidizing agents of the formula (VIII)
R--O--OH (VIII)
in which R represents hydrogen, or represents in each case optionally substituted alkanoyl or aroyl, and in particular represents hydrogen, or represents acetyl, propionyl or trifluoroacetyl, or represents optionally substituted benzoyl, such as, for example, 3-chlorobenzoyl or 4-chlorobenzoyl, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as, for example, methylene chloride, and if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst, such as, for example, ammonium molybdate, and if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, such as, for example, sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, at temperatures between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C. (compare also the preparation examples).

The active compounds according to the invention also have a good fungicidal activity when applied in corresponding amounts, and can be used, for example, for combating Botrytis and Venturia species.
The active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, natural and syntheteic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, and formulations used with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges, fumigating cans, fumigating coils and the like, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.

In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, as well as water; by liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are meant liquids which are gaseous at normal temperature and under normal pressure, for example aerosol propellants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide; as solid carriers there are suitable: for example ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene-fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylenefatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules and latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 percent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compounds according to the invention can be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with other active compounds, such as insecticides, baits, sterilizing agents, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances or herbicides. The insecticides include, for example, phosphates, carbamates, carboxylates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenylureas, substances produced by microorganisms.
The active compounds according to the invention can furthermore be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with synergistic agents. Synergistic agents are compounds which increase the action of the active compounds, without it being necessary for the synergistic agent added to be active itself.
The active compound content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations can vary within wide limits. The active compound concentration of the use forms can be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.0001 and 1% by weight.
The compounds are employed in a customary manner appropriate for the use forms.
When used against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compounds are distinguished by an excellent residual action on wood and clay as well as a good stability to alkali on limed substrates.
The active compounds which can be used according to the invention are also suitable for combating insects, mites, ticks and the like in the field of livestock husbandry and animal breeding, it being possible to achieve better results, for example higher milk yields, a heavier weight, a more attractive animal coat, a longer life and the like, by combating the pests.
The active compounds according to the invention are used in a known manner in this field, such as by oral administration, for example in the form of tablets, capsules, drinks and granules, by dermal application, for example in the form of dipping, spraying, pouring on and spotting on, and dusting, and by parenteral administration, for example in the form of an injection, and furthermore by the "feed-through" method. Use in the form of shaped articles (neck collar or ear tag) is furthermore also possible.
The biological activity of the compounds according to the invention may be illustrated with the aid of the following examples.

Test insects: Sitophilus granarius
Number of test insects: 25
Solvent: Acetone
2 parts by weight of active compound are taken up in 1,000 parts by volume of solvent. The solution thus obtained is diluted with further solvent to the desired concentrations.
2.5 ml of the active compound solution are pipetted into a Petri dish. A filterpaper disc of about 9.5 cm diameter is located on the bottom of the Petri dish. The Petri dish is left standing open until the solvent has completely evaporated. The amount of active compound per m.sup.3 of filterpaper varies, depending on the concentration of the active compound solution. The stated number of test insects is then introduced into the Petri dish, and the dish is covered with a glass lid.
The condition of the test insects is checked 3 days after the test has been set up. The destruction in % is determined. 100% means that all the test insects have been killed; 0% means that none of the test insects has been killed.
In this test, for example, the following compounds from the preparation examples show a superior action compared to the prior art: 1, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 46, 79, 83 and 102.

Example G
Test with Lucilia cuprina res. larvae
(OP-resistant Goondiwindi strain)
Emulsifier: 35 parts by weight of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether; 35 parts by weight of nonylphenol polyglcol ether.
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, three parts by weight of active compound are mixed with seven parts by weight of the abovementioned solvent mixture and the concentrate thus obtained is diluted with water to the particular desired concentration.
About 20 Lucilia cuprina res. larvae are introduced into a test tube which contains approx. 1 cm.sup.3 of horse muscle and 0.5 ml of the preparation of active compound. After 24 hours, the degree of destruction is determined.
In this test, for example, the following compounds from the preparation examples show a superior action compared to the prior art: 1, 8 and 14.
Example H
Test with parasitic, adult biting flies (Stomoxys calcitrans)
Solvent: Cremophor
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, the active substance in question is mixed with the stated solvent in a ratio of 1:2 and the concentrate thus obtained is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
10 adult biting flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) are introduced into Petri dishes containing sandwiches which have been impregnated one day before the start of the test with 1 ml of the active compound preparation to be tested. After 3 hours, the degree of destruction is determined in percent, 100% meaning that all the flies have been killed and 0% meaning that none of the flies has been killed.
In this test, for example, the following compounds from the preparation examples show a superior action compared to the prior art: 1 and 7.
Example I
LD.sub.100 -Test
Test insects: Blatella germanica
Solvent: Acetone
2 parts by weight of active compound are taken up in 1,000 parts by volume of the solvent. The solution thus obtained is diluted with further solvent to the desired concentrations.
2.5 ml of the solution of active compound are pipetted into a Petri dish. On the bottom of the Petri dish there is a filter paper with a diameter of about 9.5 cm. The Petri dish remains uncovered until the solvent has completely evaporated. The amount of active compound per m.sup.2 of filter paper varies with the concentration of the solution of active compound. Approximately 10 test insects are then placed in the Petri dish and the dish is covered with a glass lid.
The condition of the test insects is checked 3 days after the commencement of the experiments. The destruction in % is determined.
In this test, for example, the compounds of the following examples showed a destruction of 100% at a maximum concentration of 0.2%: 18, 22, 21, 23, 45, 25, 46, 48, 50, 55, 62, 65, 66, 71, 73, 12, 4, 74, 27, 79, 82, 83, 34, 30, 85, 88, 95, 97, 99, 101, 102, 80, 96.
