Oxirane intermediates lacking Az are also new.
Description
The present invention relates to new 1-azolyl-3-pyrazolyl-2-propanol derivatives, several processes for their preparation and their use as fungicides.
It has already been disclosed that certain 1,3-diazolyl-2-propanol derivatives, such as, for example, 1,3-di(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propanol, have good fungicidal properties (compare EP-OS (European Published Specification) No. 0,044,605). However, the action of these compounds is not always completely satisfactory, especially when low amounts and concentrations are used.
New 1-azolyl-3-pyrazolyl-2-propanol derivatives of the general formula ##STR2## in which
Az represents 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl, imidazol-1-yl or pyrazol-1-yl and
R represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted phenylalkyl, optionally substituted phenylalkenyl, optionally substituted phenylalkinyl, naphthyl or optionally substituted cycloalkyl,
and acid addition salts and metal salt complexes thereof, have been found.
It has furthermore been found that the 1-azolyl-3-pyrazolyl-2-propanol derivatives of the formula (I) are obtained by a process in which
(a) 2-azolylmethyl-oxiranes of the formula ##STR3## in which
Az and R have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with azoles of the formula
H--Az' (III)
in which
Az' has the meanings of Az, but Az and/or Az' represent pyrazol-1-yl,
in the presence of an alkali metal alcoholate and in the presence of a diluent, or
(b) 2-halogenomethyl-oxiranes of the formula ##STR4## in which
R has the abovementioned meaning and
Hal represents halogen,
are reacted with pyrazole of the formula ##STR5## in which
M represents hydrogen or an alkali metal, in the presence of a diluent and, if appropriate, in the presence of an acid-binding agent, or
(c) dihalogenoalkanols of the formula ##STR6## in which
Hal and R have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with pyrazole of the formula (V) in the presence of a diluent and, if appropriate, in the presence of an acid-binding agent.
If appropriate, an acid or a metal salt can then be added on to the compounds of the formula (I) thus obtained.
Surprisingly, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention exhibit a better fungicidal activity than 1,3-di-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propanol, which is known from the prior art and is a closely related compound structurally and from the point of view of its action. The active compounds according to the invention thus represent an enrichment of the art.

Very particularly preferred compounds of the formula (I) are those in which
Az represents 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl, imidazol-1-yl or pyrazol-1-yl and
R represents phenyl which is optionally monosubstituted or disubstituted by identical or different substituents, substituents which may be mentioned being: fluorine, chlorine, methyl and methoxy.

Possible anions of these salts are those which are derived from acids leading to physiologically acceptable addition products. In this connection, particularly preferred acids of this type are the hydrogen halide acids, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, and nitric acid and sulphuric acid.

The good toleration, by plants, of the active compounds, at the concentrations required for combating plant diseases, permits treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of vegetative propagation stock and seeds, and of the soil.
As plant protective agents, the active compounds according to the invention can be used with particularly good success for combating cereal diseases such as Cochliobolus sativus, Erysiphe graminis, Puccinia and Pyrenophora teres; and furthermore for combating apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and rice diseases, such as Pyricularia and Pellicularia.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, can be used in the formulations.

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 the formulations or in the various use forms as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, herbicides, bird repellents, growth factors, plant nutrients and agents for improving soil structure.
The active compounds can be used as such or in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, immersion, spraying, atomizing, misting, vaporizing, injecting, forming a slurry, brushing on, dusting, scattering, dry dressing, moist dressing, wet dressing, slurry dressing or encrusting.
In the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied within a substantial range. They are, in general, between 1 and 0.0001% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 0.001%.
In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required.
For the treatment of soil, active compound concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0001 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the place of action.
