Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Heretofore, the prevention of soil born plant diseases was very difficult and development of a good fungicide has been especially desired. For example, the damages of Cruciferous plants attacked by clubroot have been increasing year by year.
Clubroot is a very serious disease when susceptible varieties of any cruciferous species such as cauliflower, mustard, radish, cabbage, rape and turnip are grown in infested fields, and losses caused by it are sometimes very heavy. Fields once infested with the clubroot pathogen remain so indefinitely and become unfit for cultivation of crucifers practically forever or until costly methods and materials are used to sterilize the soil.
Various preventive measures by means of fungicide against the soil born plant diseases are actually tried, however, no satisfactory result is obtained with conventional medicines and thus these are not favorable for the practical use. Thus, at present, no satisfactory soil fungicide is commercially available because one fungicide has such disadvantages that no sufficient preventive effect is obtained thereby unless a high concentration of the fungicide is disposed and this results that the fungicide is liable to remain into the plant body and/or in the soil, another has a high toxicity to men and/or beasts, another has liable to cause a phytotoxity and another has an irritative smell or unpleasant odor.
For example, an environment pollution problem is caused because mercury compounds have a high toxicity and chloropicrin has toxicity and irritative smell.
The inventors have undertaken the research for developing a soil fungicide free of defects mentioned above and found the fact that the compounds of the formula (I) have shown a high prevention effect against the soil born plant diseases, especially having a distinguished effect against clubroot of Cruciferous plants even with a low concentration.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new 2-hydroxy benzamide derivatives represented by the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or alkylcarbonyl wherein the alkyl has 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or phenyl, a fungicidal composition comprising 0.5 to 95% by weight of said new 2-hydroxy benzamide derivatives and 99.5 to 5% by weight of adjuvants and a method for preventing or curing soil born plant diseases caused by fungi which comprises treating soil containing the fungi with an effective amount of said new 2-hydroxy benzamide derivatives.
Said compounds of the present invention have an extremely low toxicity ot men or beasts, giving no damages to the plants, without an irritative smell or unpleasant odor, presenting an effect for the control of soil born plant diseases, especially clubroot even if used in a small amount and so causing no environmental pollution problem and can be used as an ideal soil fungicide.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferred compunds are those of the formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or alkylcarbonyl wherein the alkyl has 1 to 6 carbon atoms especially 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms especially 1 to 4 and 8 carbon atoms or phenyl, more preferably R.sub.1 is hydrogen or acetyl and R.sub.2 is alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl or R.sub.1 is acetyl and R.sub.2 is methyl or ethyl or phenyl.

Said innert solvent includes such aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons that may be halogenated to any extent as benzene, toluene, xylene, benzine, chloromethylene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene, ethers such as diethylether, dibutylether or dioxane, and nitriles such as acetonitrile or propionitrile, and others.
The reaction of a compound of the formula (III) with a compound of the formula (IV) is carried out in said innert solvent, if required in the presence of a base, at 0.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. for several hours. The compounds of the formula (IV) include branched or non-branched aliphatic alcohols (for example, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, pentyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, octyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, octadecyl alcohol) or phenol.

C. a compound of the formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen is obtained. And, at this time, it is preferably to add a suitable catalyst such as hydrogen chloride or sulfuric acid in order to accelerate the reaction. As the acid halide of the carboxylic acid of the formula (V), for example, acetyl chloride or propionyl chloride can be used. The reaction of a compound of the formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen with said acid chloride is carried out in an innert solvent in the presence of a base at the temperature of 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 30 minutes to several hours to obtain a compound of the formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is the alkylcarbonyl. As the innert solvent other than the examples mentioned above there can be used ketones (for example, acetone, methylethylketone, methylisopropylketone), esters (for example, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate) and pyridine.
And, the reaction of an acid anhydride of the carboxylic acid of the formula (V) and a compound of the formula (I) wherein R is hydrogen is carried out preferably in the presence of a catalyst, for example, triethylamine, pyridine, or sulfuric acid, at 60.degree. to 120.degree.
