DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Synthesis of The Compounds
The compounds of the present invention may readily be prepared by methods known to one skilled in the art. Briefly, for those compounds wherein the U moiety of Formula (I) is straight or branched chain alkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHCH(CH.sub.3)--, --CH.sub.2 CH.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--!, an appropriately substituted phenylmagnesium bromide may be reacted with an oxoalkanenitrile, for example, 5-oxohexanenitrile, affording the corresponding (substituted phenyl)hydroxyalkanenitrile. The so-prepared (substituted phenyl)-hydroxyalkanenitrile can in turn be dehydrated using p-toluenesulfonic acid in toluene, yielding a corresponding mixture of alkenenitrile isomers, for example, 5-(substituted phenyl)-4-hexenenitrile and 5-(substituted phenyl)-5-hexenenitrile. The alkenenitrile mixture may then be treated with n-butyllithium, and acylated with ethyl acetate, affording the corresponding mixture of oxoalkenes, for example, 3-cyano-2-oxo-6-(substituted phenyl)-5-heptene and 3-cyano-2-oxo-6-(substituted phenyl)-6-heptene. The oxoalkene mixture may in turn be reacted with an alcohol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid, yielding the corresponding dienol ether mixture, for example, 3-cyano-2-pentoxy-6-(substituted phenyl)-2,5-heptadiene and 3-cyano-2-pentoxy-6-(substituted phenyl)-2,6-heptadiene. In the final step of this preparation, the diene mixture can be cyclized with guanidine hydrochloride under basic conditions, yielding a mixture of targeted 2,4-diaminopyrimidine compounds, for example, trans-2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 7 of Table I below) and trans-2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 34). The targeted isomers are separated by column chromatography. Example 1 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
In the procedure described above, guanidine hydrochloride may be replaced with a substituted guanidine, for example, 1-ethylguanidine hydrochloride, which yields 2-(substituted amino)-4-amino-6-methyl-5-substituted pyrimidines, for example, 2-ethylamino-4-amino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 47) and 2-ethylamino-4-amino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-butenyl!pyrimidine. Example 7 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
In another route, wherein U is straight or branched chain alkenylene �e.g., --CH.sub.2 C.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--!, an appropriately substituted acetophenone, when treated with vinylmagnesium bromide, yields the corresponding 3-hydroxy-3-(substituted phenyl)-1-butene. Treatment of the 1-butene derivative with pyridine and thionyl chloride effects migration of the double bond and chlorination, yielding the corresponding chlorinated 2-butene derivative, for example, 1-chloro-3-(substituted phenyl)-2-butene. The chloro-2-butene derivative is then treated with sodium hydride and reacted with ethyl acetoacetate, affording the appropriate ethyl hexenoate, for example, ethyl 2-methylcarbonyl-5-(substituted phenyl)-4-hexenoate. The so-prepared ethyl hexenoate may in turn be cyclized with guanidine hydrochloride, affording the corresponding 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine, for example, 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-5-�3-(substituted phenyl)-2-butenyl!pyrimidine. The pyrimidine intermediate is then chlorinated with phosphorous oxychloride and phosphorous pentachloride, and further cyclized with sodium azide and ammonium chloride, affording the corresponding 5-amino-7-methyltetrazolo�1,5-c!pyrimidine, for example, 5-amino-7-methyl-8-�3-(substituted phenyl)-2-butenyl!tetrazolo�1,5-c!pyrimidine. The tetrazolo�1,5-c!pyrimidine ring is then opened with activated zinc and acetic acid, affording the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-methylpyrimidine, for example, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(substituted phenyl)-2-butenyl!pyrimidine. Example 2 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
In addition to the routes described above, those compounds wherein U is straight or branched chain alkynylene �e.g., --C.tbd.--CCH.sub.2 --, --C.tbd.CCH(CH.sub.3)--, --C.tbd.CC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --!, oxoalkynylene (e.g., 3-oxo-1-propynylene), or dialkylsilylalkynylene �e.g., --C.tbd.CSi(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --!, may be prepared by the Heck coupling of 2,4-diamino-5-iodo-6-methylpyrimidine with the appropriately substituted terminal alkyne, oxoalkyne or dialkylsilylalkynylene in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride and copper iodide in triethylamine. Targeted compounds prepared using the Heck coupling include, for example, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-(3-phenyl-1-propynyl)pyrimidine (Compound 39), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxo-1-propynyl!pyrimidine (Compound 46), and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�(4-chlorophenyl)dimethylsilylethynyl!pyrimidine (Compound 45). Examples 3, 9, 10, and 15 provide detailed descriptions of how these reactions are conducted.
Other compounds wherein U is straight or branched chain alkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHCH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CHCH(OCH.sub.3)--!, haloalkenylene (e.g., --CH.dbd.CHCF.sub.2 --, --CF.tbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --), oxoalkenylene (e.g., 3-oxo-1-propenylene), 2-(1-substituted-1-cycloalkyl)alkenylene �e.g., 2-�1-substituted-1-cyclopentyl!ethylene!, and dialkylsilylalkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHSi(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --! maybe prepared by the Stille coupling of 2,4-diamino-5-iodo-6-methylpyrimidine with the appropriately substituted alkenyl, haloalkenyl, or oxoalkenyl trialkyl tin derivatives. Targeted compounds prepared using the Stille coupling include, for example, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3,3-difluoro-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-propenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 4), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxo-1-propenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 27), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 21 ), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�2-�1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-cyclopentyl!ethenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 24), and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�1-fluoro-3-methyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 62). Examples 4, 5, 6 11, 13, 14 and 16 provide detailed descriptions of how these reactions are conducted.
Optionally, compounds prepared as described above may be further reacted to obtain other compounds included within the scope of the present invention. For example, a 2,4-diaminopyrimidine or a 2-(mono-substituted)amino-4-aminopyrimidine may be reacted with an acid anhydride, such as acetic anhydride or isobutyric anhydride, in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, affording the corresponding 2,4-di(substituted)aminopyrimidines. Two compounds, trans-2,4-di-(1-methylethylcarbonylamino)-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 54), and 2-�(ethyl)(methyl-carbonyl)!amino-4-methylcarbonylamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 58) are compounds prepared in this manner. Examples 8 and 12 provide detailed descriptions of how these reactions are conducted.
Selected compounds prepared as described above may also be further reacted to obtain other compounds included within the scope of the present invention. These reactions include treating a carbonyl-containing compound, for example 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxo-1-propynyl!pyrimidine (Compound 46) with, for example, ethylene glycol in the presence of a catalyst, affording the corresponding ketal, for example, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�2-�2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(1,3-dioxolanyl)!ethynyl!pyrimidine (Compound 108). Example 16 provides a detailed description of how this reaction may be conducted.
Example 17, wherein U is alkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --!, teaches a desirable method for preparing Compound 68, in which a substituted phenylmethyl halide, for example, 4-trifluoromethylphenylmethyl bromide, is treated with potassium cyanide in water, yielding the corresponding substutited phenylacetonitrile. The so-prepared acetonitrile may then be treated with potassium tert.-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran, then reacted with a lower alkyl halide, for example iodomethane, yielding the corresponding 2-alkyl-2-(substituted phenyl)propanenitrile. The propanenitrile is then treated with diisobutylaluminium hydride which converts it to the corresponding propanaldehyde, for example, 2-methyl-2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)propanaldehyde. The propanaldehyde may then be reacted with bromomethyl triphenylphosphonium bromide and potassium tert.-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran, affording the cis/trans-1-bromo-3-alkyl-3-(substituted phenyl)-1-butene intermediate. This compound, in turn can be dehydrohalogenated with potassium tert.-butoxide in tert.-butanol, affording the corresponding butyne, for example, 3-methyl-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1-butyne. Using methods taught by G. W. Kabaika et al. �Synthetic Communications, 11(3), 247-251 (1981) and Synthetic Communications, 13(12), 1027-1032 (1983)!, the 1-butyne is reacted with 1,3,2-benzodioxaborole to form a boronic acid, in the present case, trans-3-methyl-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1-butenylboronic acid. The sodium salt of the boronic acid may in turn be reacted with 2,4-diamino-5-iodo-6-methylpyrimidine in the presence of tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium(0) in ethanol, yielding the targeted trans-2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 68).
Compound 84, exemplified in Example 18, may be prepared by methods taught above.
In Example 19, the commercially available 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine when reacted with an appropriate lower alkylamine, for example, propylamine in ethanol, yields 2-amino-4-alkylamino-6-methylpyrimidine. The 4-alkylaminopyrimidine may then be halogenated with iodine monochloride to give the corresponding 2-amino-4-alkyiamino-5-iodo-6-methylpyrimidine, which is in turn reacted with an appropriate boronic acid, as described in Example 17, yielding, for example, the targeted trans-2-amino-4-propylamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 140).
In Example 20, using a method analogous to Example 8, above, a targeted 2,4-diaminopyrimidine, for example, trans-2-amino-4-propylamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-1-butenyl!pyrimidine may be reacted with an add anhydride, such as acetic anhydride or isobutyric anhydride, in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, affording the corresponding 2,4-di(substituted)aminopyrimidine, for example, trans-2-(1-methylethylcarbonyl)amino-4-�(propyl)(1-methylethylcarbonyl)amino!-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1-butenyl!pyrimidine (Compound 143).
In Examples 21 and 22, employing methods analogous to those of Example 17 and 18, there may be obtained the corresponding 3-(2,6-di-t-butyl-4-pyridyl)-1-butenyl or -1-butynyl compound by using, e.g., 4-bromomethyl-2,6-di-t-butylpyridine (which may be prepared by the method of C. J. Hou et al, JOC 47 (1982), pp. 1977-9) in place of the 4-trifluoromethylphenyl starting compound of Example 17. Desirably, the acidification step of Example 17, Step C, may be replaced with sodium fluoride treatment as taught by L. E. Overman et al, Tetrahedron Letters, 25 (1984), pp. 5737-5738. Further, in the preparation of the butyne derivative of Example 18, the butyne product analogous to that of Example 17, Step F may be used as an intermediate starting material.

EXAMPLES
The following examples, which disclose the preparation of representative compounds of this invention (see Table 1 ), are for the purpose of illustrating methods for the preparation of the compounds employed in the methods and formulations of this invention.
Example 1
SYNTHESIS OF trans-2,4-DIAMINO-6-METHYL-5-�3-(4--CHLOROPHENYL)-1-BUTENYL!PYRIMIDINE (COMPOUND 7)
AND trans-2,4-DIAMINO-6-METHYL-5-�3-(4--CHLOROPHENYL)-2-BUTENYL!PYRIMIDINE (COMPOUND 34)
Step A Synthesis of 5-hydroxy-5-(4-chlorophenyl)hexanenitrile as an intermediate
One hundred mL (0.1 mole) of a 1.0 molar solution of 4-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether is stirred, and a solution of 11.4 mL (0.1 mole) of 5-oxohexanenitrile in 125 mL of diethyl ether is added dropwise. The exothermic reaction causes the reaction mixture temperature to rise to about 31.degree. C. The reaction mixture is then cooled in an ice-bath, and the dropwise addition of the nitrile solution is continued. The complete addition requires about 30 minutes. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture is allowed to warm to ambient temperature where it is stirred for two hours. The reaction mixture is then poured into 500 mL of water and made acidic with aqueous 2N hydrochloric acid. The organic layer is separated, and the aqueous layer is extracted with one 250 mL portion of diethyl ether. The organic layers are combined and dried with magnesium sulfate. The mixture is filtered, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to a residual oil. The oil is subjected to column chromatography on silica gel, using methylene chloride as the eluant. The product-containing fractions are combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 15.0 grams of 5-hydroxy-5-(4-chlorophenyl)hexanenitrile. The NMR spectrum is consistent with the proposed structure.
Step B Synthesis of a mixture of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hexenenitrile and 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hexenenitrile as intermediates
In a reaction vessel fitted with a Dean-Stark trap to collect the water by-product, and under a nitrogen atmosphere, a stirred solution of 15.0 grams (0.067 mole) of 5-hydroxy-5-(4-chlorophenyl)hexanenitrile and 0.5 gram (catalyst) of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 200 mL of toluene is heated at reflux for about five hours.

Insecticide and Acaricide Formulations
In the normal use of the pesticidal pyrimidines of the present invention, they usually will not be employed free from admixture or dilution, but ordinarily will be used in a suitable formulated composition compatible with the method of application and comprising an insecticidally or acaricidally effective amount of the pyrimidine. The pyrimidines of this invention, like most pesticidal agents, may be blended with the agriculturally acceptable surface-active agents and carriers normally employed for facilitating the dispersion of active ingredients, recognizing the accepted fact that the formulation and mode of application of an insecticide may affect the activity of the material. The present pyrimidines may be applied, for example, as sprays, dusts, or granules to the area where pest control is desired, the type of application varying of course with the pest and the environment. Thus, the pyrimidines of this invention may be formulated as granules of large particle size, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions, and the like. It will be understood that the pesticides themselves may be present as essentially pure compounds, or as mixtures of these pyrimidine compounds.
Granules may comprise porous or nonporous particles, such as attapulgite clay or sand, for example, which serve as carriers for the pyrimidines. The granule particles are relatively large, a diameter of about 400-2500 microns typically. The particles are either impregnated with the pyrimidine from solution or coated with the pyrimidine, adhesive sometimes being employed. Granules generally contain 0.05-10%, preferably 0.5-5%, active ingredient as the pesticidally effective amount.
Dusts are admixtures of the pyrimidines with finely divided solids such as talc, attapulgite clay, kieselguhr, pyrophyllite, chalk, diatomaceous earths, calcium phosphates, calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfur, flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which acts carriers for the insecticide. These finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A typical dust formulation useful for controlling insects contains 1 part of 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-5-�3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1-butenyl!pyrimidine and 99 parts of talc.
The pyrimidines of the present invention may be made into liquid concentrates by dissolution or emulsification in suitable liquids and into solid concentrates by admixture with talc, clays, and other known solid carriers used in the pesticide art. The liquid concentrates and wettable powders are compositions containing, respectively, as a pesticidally effective amount, about 5-50%, and 10-50% pyrimidine, the balance comprising inert material, which includes surface-active dispersing, emulsifying, and wetting agents, but even higher concentrations of active ingredient may be employed experimentally. The concentrates are diluted with water or other liquids for practical application as sprays, or with additional solid carrier for use as dusts.
By way of illustration, Compound 21 was formulated as a 10% wettable powder (10% WP) as follows:
______________________________________COMPONENT AMOUNT (wt/wt)______________________________________Compound 21 10.1%Wetting Agent 5.0%Dispersing Agent 3.5%Wetting/Dispersing Agent 0.9%Diluent 80.2%______________________________________
Manufacturing concentrates are useful for shipping low melting products of this invention. Such concentrates are prepared by melting the low melting solid products together with one percent or more of a solvent to produce a concentrate which does not solidify on cooling to the freezing point of the pure product or below.
Useful liquid concentrates include the emulsifiable concentrates, which are homogeneous liquid or paste compositions readily dispersed in water or other liquid carriers. They may consist entirely of the pyrimidines with a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or they may also contain a liquid carrier such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isophorone and other relatively non-volatile organic solvents. For application, these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carriers and normally applied as sprays to areas to be treated.
Typical surface-active wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying agents used in pesticidal formulations include, for example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts, including fatty methyl taurides; alkylaryl polyether alcohols; sulfates of higher alcohols; polyvinyl alcohols; polyethylene oxides; sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils; fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters; and the addition products of long-chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide. Many other types of useful surface-active agents are available in commerce. The surface-active agent, when used, normally comprises about 5-10% by weight of the insecticidal composition.
Other useful formulations include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a solvent in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentrations, such as acetone or other organic solvents.
As shown in the biological test methods below, the compounds of the present invention were tested in the laboratory as dimethylsulfoxide solutions incorporated into an artificial insect or acarid diet or as aqueous acetone or methanol solutions containing a small amount of octylphenoxy-polyethoxyethanol surfactant for use as foliar sprays. A pesticidally effective amount of pyrimidine in a composition diluted for laboratory application is normally in the range of about 0.00001% to about 0.005% by weight, (i.e. 1 part to 50 parts per million) preferably 0.00001 to 0.003%. Many variations of spraying and dusting compositions known in the art may be used by substituting the pyrimidine of this invention into compositions known or apparent in the art.
The pesticidal compositions of this invention may be formulated with other active ingredients, including other insecticides, nematicides, other acadcides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, etc.
In using the compositions to control insects or acarids, it is only necessary that a pesticidally effective amount of pyrimidine be applied to the locus where control is desired. Such locus may, e.g., be the insects or acarids themselves, plants upon which they feed, or their habitat. When the locus is the soil, e.g., soil in which agricultural crops are or will be planted, the active compound may be applied to and optionally incorporated into the soil. For most applications, a pesticidally effective amount will be about 10 to 1000 g per hectare, preferably 10 g to 500 g.
Biological Data
The substituted 2,4-diaminopyrimidines of the present invention were first incorporated into an artificial diet for evaluation of insecticidal activity against the tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens �Fabdcius!).
Stock solutions of test chemical in dimethylsulfoxide were prepared for each rate of application. The rates of application, expressed as the negative log of the molar concentration, and the corresponding concentrations of the stock solution prepared for each rate are shown below:
______________________________________Stock Solution Rate of Application______________________________________50 micromolar 45 50.5 60.05 70.005 8______________________________________
One hundred microliters of each of the stock solutions was manually stirred into 50 mL of a molten (65.degree.-70.degree. C.) wheat germ-based artificial diet. The 50 mL of molten diet containing the test chemical was poured evenly into twenty wells in the outer four rows of a twenty-five well, five row plastic tray. Each well in the tray was about 1 cm in depth, with an opening of 3 cm by 4 cm at the lip. Molten diet containing only dimethylsulfoxide at the levels used in the test chemical-treated diet was poured into the five wells in the third row of the tray. Each tray therefore contained one test chemical at a single rate of application, together with an untreated control.
Single second instar tobacco budworm larvae were placed in each well. The larvae were selected at a stage of growth at which they uniformly weigh about 5 mg each. Upon completion of infestation, a sheet of clear plastic was heat-sealed over the top of the tray using a common household flat iron. The trays were held at 25.degree. C. at 60% relative humidity for five days in a growth chamber. Lighting was set at 14 hours of light and 10 hours of darkness.
After the 5-day exposure period, mortality counts were taken, and the surviving insects were weighed. From the weights of the surviving insects that fed on the treated diet as compared to those insects that fed on the untreated diet, the percent growth inhibition caused by each test chemical was determined. From these data, the negative log of the concentration of the test chemical that provided 50% growth inhibition (pI.sub.50) was determined by linear regression, when possible, for each test chemical. Where possible, the negative log of the concentration of the test chemical that provided 50% mortality (pLC.sub.50) was also determined. These data are presented in Table 2. Table 3, which is supplemental to Table 2, discloses the corresponding results for additional compounds, using the same procedures as in Table 2, where the application rate is 5 (as defined in Table 2).
As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the compounds of the present invention inhibited the growth of tobacco budworm. Included amongst the more efficacious, and thus preferred, compounds are, for example, Compounds 22, 43, 68, 80, 111, 117, 120, 126, 142 and 165 of Table 1.
Foliar Tests
Certain substituted-2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives with high pI.sub.50 values from the diet test were also tested for insecticidal activity in foliar evaluations against the tobacco budworm (TBW), beet armyworm (BAW) (Spodoptera exigua Hubner!), and the cabbage looper (CL) (Trichoplusia ni �Hubner!).
In these tests against the tobacco budworm and the beet armyworm, nine-day-old chick pea plants (Cicer arietinum) were sprayed at 20 psi to runoff on both upper and lower leaf surfaces with solutions of test chemical to provide application rates as high as 1000 ppm of test chemical. The solvent used to prepare the solutions of test chemical was 10% acetone or methanol (v/v) and 0.1% of the surfactant octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol in distilled water. Four replicates, each containing four chick pea plants, for each rate of application of test chemical were sprayed. The treated plants were transferred to a hood where they were kept until the spray had dried.
The four chick pea plants in each replicate treated with test chemical as described above were removed from their pots by cutting the stems just above the soil line. The excised leaves and stems from the four plants in each replicate were placed in individual 8-ounce paper cups, which contained a moistened filter paper. Five second-instar (4-5 days old) tobacco budworms or beet armyworms were counted into each cup, taking care not to cause injury. An opaque plastic lid was placed on each cup, which was then held in a growth chamber for a 96 hour exposure period at 25.degree. C. and 50% relative humidity. At the end of the 96 hour exposure period the cups were opened, and the numbers of dead and live insects were counted. Moribund larvae which were disoriented or unable to crawl normally were counted as dead. Using the insect counts, the efficacy of the test chemical i.e., the percent mortality, was expressed as percent control in Table 4 below. The condition of the test plants was also observed for phytotoxicity and for reduction of feeding damage as compared to an untreated control. Table 5, which is supplemental to Table 4, discloses the corresponding results for additional compounds, using the same procedures as in Table 4, where the application rate is 3 (ppm).
Foliar tests with cabbage looper were conducted in the same manner as described above, the difference being that pinto bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were used.
Of the compounds evaluated on foliage for insecticidal activity, the more active, and thus preferred ones include Compounds 7, 8, 21, 68, 72, 74, 84, 88, 90, 111, 130 and 137 of Table 1.
In a further embodiment of this invention, it has been found that in addition to the excellent activity of the compounds of this invention against the Order Lepidoptera, as shown in Tables 2 to 5 above, these compounds have also been determined to be active against Orders Acarina and Coleoptera. Data showing their effectiveness as acarides, particularly as miticides, as well as broader insecticidal activity, are set forth in Table 6 where there is provided the percent control of selected compounds against twospotted spider mite (TSM-S) (Tetranychus urticae Koch) and Mexican bean beetle (MBB) (Epilachna varivestis Mulsant), respectively, at an application rate of 10 (ppm).
The foliar test to show insecticidal activity against Mexican bean beetle is conducted in the same manner as the foliar test against cabbage looper (Tables 4 and 5 above). The foliar test to show acaricidal activity against twospotted spider mite is conducted as follows:
Two seven-day-old pinto bean plants for each rate of application are each infested with 50 to 100 adult female twospotted spider mites about one hour prior to spraying with the candidate acaricide. Using test solutions of the candidate acadcide, prepared as described for foliar testing, (above) the test plants am sprayed with test solution at 15 psi to runoff on both upper and lower leaf surfaces. The treated test plants are then held in a growth chamber for an exposure period of 96 hours at 25.degree. C. and 50% relative humidity. At the end of the exposure period each leaf from the test plant is removed from the plant and examined under a microscope, and the number of dead and live mites are recorded. Percent control is assessed in the same manner as described for foliar testing.
The effectiveness of other compounds of this invention against the Orders Acarina and Coleoptera may be routinely determined by conventional testing techniques, employing the above-described diet and/or foliar testing in order to select application rates and activity of the rate of magnitude desired, particularly ones comparable to those shown in Tables 2 to 5 above.
Summary of Biological Data: Preferred Compounds
Among the more preferred compounds of Table 1, as shown by their activity in Tables 2 to 5, are Compounds 7, 8, 21, 22, 43, 68, 72, 74, 80, 84, 88, 90, 111, 117, 120, 126, 130, 137, 142, and 165.
In addition, there are also preferred, because of their pesticidal effectiveness, Compounds 66, 269, 275, 276, and 277.
Of the above compounds, most preferred are Compounds 21, 43, 68, 84, and 165.
These compounds are preferred not only because of their high degree of pesticidal activity, especially against Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, but also because of their ability to maintain this effectiveness at low application rates.

In further embodiment of this invention, several of the compounds disclose above have, themselves, been found to be novel and useful intermediates in the preparation of the 2,4-diaminopyrimidine insecticides and acaricides disclosed and claimed herein.
Included amongst these intermediate compounds are those 5-iodo compounds having the following formula: ##STR171## wherein R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl �e.g., --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7, --CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2, n-C.sub.8 H.sub.17 !, cycloalkyl (e.g., cyclohexyl), alkoxyalkyl (e.g., --C.sub.3 H.sub.6 OC.sub.2 H.sub.5), alkoxyalkoxyalkyl (e.g., --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 OC.sub.2 H.sub.4 OC.sub.2 H.sub.5), or arylalkyl (e.g., phenylmethyl); or,
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 and R, each independently, when taken together with pentylene or 3-oxapentylene, form piperidine and morpholine ring systems respectively; and
R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl �e.g., --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2 !.
Other novel intermediates falling within the scope of this invention include those having the formula: ##STR172## wherein T is selected from --B(OH).sub.2 or --Sn(R.sup.5).sub.3, where R.sup.5 is lower alkyl (e.g., --CH.sub.3, n-C.sub.4 H.sub.9);
U is a C.sub.3 to about C.sub.12, preferably C.sub.3 --C.sub.8, alkenylene �e.g. --CH.dbd.CHCH(CH.sub.3)--, --CH.dbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 !, haloalkenylene (e.g., --CH.dbd.CHCF.sub.2 --, --CF.dbd.CHC(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --), alkoxyalkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHCH(OCH.sub.3)--!, 2-(1-substituted-1-cycloalkyl)alkenylene �e.g., 2-(1-substituted-1-cyclopentyl)ethenylene!, 2-(substituted-oxacycloalkyl)alkenylene �e.g., 2-(4-substituted-4-tetrahydropyranyl)ethenylene!, 2-�2-substituted-2-(1,3-dioxacydoalkyl)!alkenylene �e.g., 2-�2-substituted-2-(1,3-dioxolanyl)!ethenylene or 2-�2-substituted-2-(1,3-dioxanyl)!ethenylene!, dialkylsilylalkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHSi(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --!, oxoalkenylene (e.g., 3-oxo-1-propenylene) or hydroxyalkenylene �e.g., --CH.dbd.CHC(OH)CH.sub.3 --!;
with the proviso that when U is alkenylene, it is other than 1-propenylene �e.g. --CH.dbd.CHCH.sub.2 --!;
Ar is as defined above in Formula I, i.e., wherein
V, W, X, Y, and Z are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower haloalkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkoxy, lower alkoxyalkyl, lower alkylsulfonyl, substituted aryl, substituted aryloxy, and hydroxy; and
n is 0 or 1.
These novel intermediates, as shown in the above examples, may readily be prepared from known starting materials by conventional means. Illustration of intermediates of structure II, and their preparation, for example, include 2,4-diamino-5-iodo-6-methylpyrimidine (see Example 3). Similarly, illustrations of intermediates falling within structure III, and their preparation, include 1,1-difluoro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-tributylstannyl-2-propene (see Example 4); 1-oxo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-tributylstannyl-2-propene (see Example 5) as well as those of Examples 6, 11, 13, 14 and 15.
Conversion of these intermediates to the pesticide products of this invention likewise employs methods well-known to those skilled in the art; and in any event these methods are fully documented by the processes of the above examples.
In each of these methods the nature of the substituents on the final product may readily be determined by selection of the correspondingly substituted starting materials as shown in the examples above, or by introduction of such groups by means well known to those skilled in the art such as conventional halogenation or reduction reactions, or the like also shown in the above examples.
