Description
[0001] 3-Amino-2-mercaptobenzoic Acid Derivatives and Processes for Their Preparation
[0002] The invention relates to a compound of the formula I
3
[0003] and the disulfide thereof and salts thereof, processes for the preparation thereof and the use thereof for the preparation of compounds having a microbicidal and plant-immunizing action, of the formula III

[0004] In the compounds of the formulae I and III:
[0005] X is halogen,
[0006] n is 0,1,2 or 3;
[0007] Z is CN, CO—A or CS—A,
[0008] A is hydrogen, OR1, SR2 and N(R3)R4;
[0009] R1 to R4 are hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted, open-chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical containing not more than 8 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical containing not more than 10 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted benzyl or phenethyl, a substituted or unsubstituted alkanoyl group containing not more than 8 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted benzoyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl radical; or R3 and R4, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, are a 5- or 6-membered, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic radical having 1-3 heteroatoms O, S and/or N.
[0010] The compounds of the formula I have at least one basic group and can thus form acid addition salts. These are formed, for example, with mineral acids, for example sulfuric acid, a phosphoric acid or a hydrogen halide acid, with organic carboxylic acids, for example acetic acid or oxalic, malonic, maleic, fumaric or phthalic acid, with hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example ascorbic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid, or with benzoic acid, or with organic sulfonic acids, for example methane- or p-toluenesulfonic acid. On the basis of the SH group or an acid group in the substituent Z, compounds of the formula I can furthermore form salts with bases. Suitable salts with bases are, for example, metal salts, such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium, potassium or magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or an organic amine, such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamine, for example ethyl-, diethyl-, triethyl- or dimethyl-propyl-amine, or a mono-, di- or trihydroxy-lower alkylamine, for example mono-, di- or triethanolamine. If appropriate, corresponding inner salts can furthermore be formed.
[0011] Unless defined otherwise, the general terms used above and below have the meanings given below:
[0012] Hydrocarbon radicals can be saturated or unsaturated and open-chain or cyclic, or a mixture of open-chain and cyclic, for example cyclopropylmethyl or benzyl.
[0013] Alkyl groups are straight-chain or branched, depending on the number of carbon atoms, and are, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, sec-amyl, tert-amyl, 1-hexyl or 3-hexyl.
[0014] Unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals are alkenyl, alkynyl or alkenynyl groups with at least 3 multiple bonds, for example butadienyl, hexatrienyl, 2-penten-4-ynyl.
[0015] Alkenyl is to be understood as meaning straight-chain or branched alkenyl, for example allyl, methallyl, 1-methylvinyl or but-2-en-1-yl. Alkenyl radicals with a chain length of 3 to 4 carbon atoms are preferred.
[0016] Alkynyl can likewise be straight-chain or branched, depending on the number of carbon atoms, for example propargyl, but-1-yn-1-yl and but-1-yn-3-yl. Propargyl is preferred.
[0017] Cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals can be aromatic, for example phenyl and naphthyl, or non-aromatic, for example cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptenyl and cyclooctadienyl, or partly aromatic, for example tetrahydronaphthyl and indanyl.
[0018] Halogen or halo and Hal are fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, preferably fluorine, chlorine or bromine.
[0019] Haloalkyl can contain identical or different halogen atoms, for example fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, difluorochloromethyl, trifluoromethyl, chloromethyl, dichloromethyl, trichloromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2-iluoroethyl, 2-chloroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl.
[0020] Alkoxy is, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propyloxy, i-propyloxy, n-butyloxy, iso-butyloxy, sec-butyloxy and tert-butyloxy; preferably methoxy and ethoxy.
[0021] Haloalkoxy is, for example, difluoromethoxy, trifluoromethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy, 2-fluoroethoxy, 2-chloroethoxy and 2,2-difluoroethoxy.
[0022] Cycloalkyl is cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl.
[0023] Alkanoyl is either straight-chain or branched. Examples are formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, pivaloyl or octanoyl.
[0024] A heterocyclyl radical is understood as meaning 5- or 6-membered aromatic and non-aromatic rings with heteroatoms N, O and/or S. An unsubstituted or substituted benzo group can furthermore be fused onto such a heterocyclyl radical bonded to the remainder of the molecule. Examples of heterocyclyl groups are pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, triazolyl, thienyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, morpholinyl, oxazolyl and the corresponding partly or totally hydrogenated rings. Examples of heterocyclyl groups with a fused-on benzo group are quinolyl, isoquinolyl, benzoxazolyl, quinoxalinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzimidazolyl, indolyl and indolinyl.
[0025] Compounds of the formula III having a microbicidal and plant-immunizing action and processes for the preparation thereof are known, for example, from EP-A-313,512. The processes described therein are not suitable for industrial preparation, since they comprise many reaction stages, some of which are complex, and thus overall result in an unsatisfactory yield.
[0026] There is therefore a need for a novel, industrially more advantageous synthesis for such compounds.
[0027] The compounds of the formula I according to the invention allow a novel access to the compounds of the formula III, which is shown in Equation 1. This synthesis is distinguished by easy accessibility of the percursor, use of customary reactants and good yields, even in cases where an intermediate product is not isolated.
[0028] The present invention likewise relates to this synthesis.
[0029] In the formulae of Equation 1,
[0030] X, n and Z are as defined for formula I and
[0031] T is hydrogen, C1-C12alkyl, in particular C1-C6alkyl, C3-C6alkenyl, C3-C6alkynyl, C3-C6cycloalkyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, benzyl or phenethyl.
[0032] The precursors of the formula V are compounds which are obtainable industrially or can be prepared by known methods, for example by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds.

[0075] The benzodithiazolium salts VI and VII can also be further reacted in situ, without isolation and under suitable conditions (J. Chem. Soc. 1970, 2250, Houben Weyl E8d, Heteroarene [Heteroarenes] III, Part 4, page 59 et seq. (specifically page 93 et seq.)), to give benzothiadiazoles III or IIIa.

[0081] (f) Reduction, for example with hydrogen/catalyst, or with a complex hydride, for example LiAlH2(OCH2CH2OCH3)2.
[0082] The reactions described are carried out in a manner known per se, for example in the absence or, usually, in the presence of a suitable solvent or diluent or of a mixture thereof, the reaction being carried out, as required, with cooling, at room temperature or with heating, for example in a temperature range from about −80° C. up to the boiling point of the reaction medium, preferably from about −20° C. to about +170° C, and, if necessary, in a closed vessel, under pressure, in an inert gas atmosphere and/or under anhydrous conditions. Diazotizations, i.e. the reaction of a primary amine with nitrous acid or with an inorganic or organic nitrite, are advantageously carried out at −20° C. to +30° C.
[0083] Leaving groups are, for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, C1-C8alkylthio, such as methylthio, ethylthio or propylthio, C1-Calkanoyloxy, such as acetoxy, (halogeno)-C1C8 alkanesulfonyloxy, such as methanesulfonyloxy, ethanesulfonyloxy or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy, or substituted or unsubstituted phenylsulfonyloxy, such as benzenesulfonyloxy or p-toluenesulfonyloxy, imidazolyl, triazolyl, hydroxyl or water, preferably chlorine, bromine, iodine and p-toluenesulfonyloxy.

[0085] The reactants can be reacted with one another as such, i.e. without addition of a solvent or diluent, for example in the melt. However, the addition of an inert solvent or diluent or of a mixture thereof is usually advantageous. Examples of such solvents or diluents are: aromatic, aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, petroleum ether, hexane, cyclohexane, methylene chloride, chloroform, dichloroethane or trichloroethane; ethers, such as diethyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; ketones, such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketones; alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, ethylene glycol or glycerol; esters, such as ethyl acetate or butyl acetate; amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide; nitrites, such as acetonitrile; and sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide. Bases employed in excess, such as triethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine or N,N-diethylaniline, can also be used as solvents or diluents. The reaction can also be carried out under phase transfer catalysis in an organic solvent, for example methylene chloride or toluene, in the presence of an aqueous basic solution, for example sodium hydroxide solution, and a phase transfer catalyst, for example tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate. Typical reaction conditions can be seen from the examples.

Example 1:
[0129] 3-Amino-2-mercapto-benzoic Acid (la1)
[0130] 28.9 g of potassium hydroxide (85%), dissolved in 38 ml of water, are added dropwise to 3.5 g of methyl 2-amino-benzothiazole-7-carboxylate in 38 ml of dioxane under a nitrogen atmosphere in the course of 20 minutes, while stirring and cooling with ice, such that the internal temperature of 25° C. is not exceeded. Thereafter, the mixture is refluxed at a bath temperature of 140° C., and towards the end of the reaction the internal temperature is increased to 170° C. and dioxane is distilled off by means of a descending condenser. The mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and filtered under a nitrogen atmosphere and the residue is rinsed with 30 ml of ice-water. The title compound can be isolated from the filtrate by acidification to pH 5.5, with severe cooling and stirring at a maximum of 0° C., and extraction with ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran (8:2) and washing with concentrated sodium chloride solution. Because of the risk of the formation of the disulfide, the potassium salt in the filtrate (potassium 3-amino-2-mercapto-benzoate) is preferably further reacted directly.
Example 2:
[0131] Benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carboxylic Acid
[0132] The filtered aqueous solution, resulting from the above hydrolysis from 17.6 mmol of methyl 2-aminobenzothiazole-7-carboxylate, of the potassium salt of 3-amino-2-mercapto-benzoic acid is rendered acid with 31.6 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid under a nitrogen atmosphere at a maximum of 0° C., while stirring thoroughly and cooling severely, a solution of 1.28 g (18.6 mmol) of sodium nitrite in 3.4 ml of water is added dropwise below the surface at a maximum of 10° C., and the mixture is then stirred for 4 hours, the temperature being allowed to rise to about 25° C. The precipitate formed is filtered off, washed with ice-water and taken up in tetrahydrofuran and, after treatment with active charcoal, the mixture is filtered over a little silica gel. After evaporation of the filtrate, 2.64 g (88% over 2 stages) of the crude title compound of melting point 232-233° C. are obtained. HPLC analysis shows a content of at least 83% of the title compound and about 8-17% of isomeric benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxylic acid. Recrystallization from dioxane gives the pure title compound of melting point 239-240° C.
Example 3:
[0133] Benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carbonyl Chloride
[0134] 290 g of benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid are suspended in 1.61 of toluene, 3.5 ml of dimethylformamide and 129 ml of thionyl chloride are added and the mixture is stirred at 80-90° C., the suspension turning into a solution as the release of gas progresses. When the reaction has ended, the solution is cooled and filtered over a little Hyflo, the residue is rinsed with toluene and the filtrate is evaporated. 297 g (93%) of crude acid chloride, which can be further reacted directly, result.
Example 4:
[0135] S-Methyl benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-thiocarboxylate
[0136] 210 ml of triethylamine and 2.19 of 4-dimethylaminopyridine are added to a solution of 60.7 g (1.26 mol) of methylmercaptan in 1450 ml of methylene chloride at 0° C. 250.1 g (1.26 mol) of the above acid chloride, dissolved in 1.21 of methylene chloride, are added dropwise at 0-5° C., while cooling, and the mixture is then stirred to room temperature for 3 hours. Ice-water is then added, the aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic extracts are washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered over a little silica gel and evaporated. 236 g (89%) of S-methyl benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-thiocarboxylate of melting point 132-134° C. remain.
Example 5:
[0137] Methyl 3-amino-benzoate
[0138] 130 ml (1.78 mol) of thionyl chloride are added dropwise to 500 ml of methanol, which has been cooled to −5° C., while stirring and the mixture is stirred thoroughly at 0° C. for 15 minutes. 70 g (0.5 mol) of solid 3-amino-benzoic acid are then introduced at the same temperature, the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes and heated up, and the solution formed is kept at 70° C. overnight. It is then evaporated, ethyl acetate and ice-water are added to the residue and the pH is brought to 7.5 by addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The product is extracted with ethyl acetate and the extracts are washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. 69.8 g (92.2%) of the pure methyl ester result in the form of an oil which crystallizes on standing; melting point 37-38° C.
Example 6:
[0139] Methyl 3-thioureido-benzoate
[0140] 11.3 g of methyl 3-aminobenzoate are initially introduced into the reaction vessel as a solution in 75 ml of chlorobenzene, 2.07 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (96%) are added dropwise at −5 to 0° C. in the course of 15 minutes, stirring is continued for 5 minutes, 6.8 g of sodium thiocyanate are then introduced in portions at a maximum of 0° C. and the mixture is stirred for a further 15 minutes. 0.2 ml of 15-crown-5 is then added, the mixture is stirred at a bath temperature of 100° C. for 10 hours and cooled and the precipitate formed is filtered off and washed 3 times with water. 13.5 g (85.9%) of the title compound of melting point 171-172° C. result.
Example 7:
[0141] Methyl 2-aminobenzothiazole-7-carboxylate
[0142] 8.4 9 of methyl 3-thioureido-benzoate are suspended in 120 ml of chlorobenzene, 2.2 ml of bromine in 30 ml of chlorobenzene are added at 0° C. in the course of 1 hour, while stirring as thoroughly as possible, and the mixture is then stirred to room temperature. It is then kept at 70° C. for 4 hours and subsequently cooled, a little diethyl ether is added and the precipitate is filtered off, mixed thoroughly with 70 ml of aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, filtered off again and washed with water. 7.7 g (88%) of crude product of melting point 231-232° C. result. HPLC analysis shows a content of more than 83% of the pure title compound, in addition to 8-18% of isomeric methyl 2-amino-benzothiazole-5-carboxylate. Suspension in and brief heating at 70° C. with ethyl acetate, cooling to 30° C. and filtration give the pure title compound of melting point >250° C.
[0143] If the reaction is carried out in acetic acid (instead of in chlorobenzene), the content of the undesired isomeric methyl 2-amino-benzothiazole-5-carboxylate is only about 5%.

16
[0145] 1.3 kg of methyl 2-aminobenzothiazole-7-carboxylate are kept at 120° C./1-2 bar in 3.5 kg of KOH 50% for 4 hours and the mixture is then neutralized with aqueous hydrochloric acid at 0 to 50° C. An aqueous solution of sodium nitrite 40% is metered into this solution at 0° C. to +10° C. and the product which has precipitated out is filtered off, washed and dried: 1.03 kg of benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid, melting point 230-233° C. (91% of theory over the 2 stages).
Example 9:
[0146] Direct Preparation of Benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carboxylic Acid from 2-methylamino-benzothiazole-7-carboxylic Acid
17
[0147] A suspension of 150 g of 2-methylaminobenzothiazole-7-carboxylic acid (92.7%) and 596 g of 47% KOH is kept at 155° C./1.7-1.8 bar in an autoclave for 12 hours and is then clarified by filtration at 20-25° C. The filtrate is added dropwise to 635 g of 37% hydrochloric acid and 50 ml of methanol are added. 200 g of 30% aqueous sodium nitrite solution are added dropwise to the suspension at −10° to −5° C. and the mixture is allowed to react completely at −5° to 0° C. for 2 hours. Filtration with suction and washing with water gives 112 g of crude benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid of melting point 260-262° C. HPLC analysis shows a content of 90-93% of the pure title compound.
Example 10:
[0148] Preparation of 3-amino-2-mercaptobenzoic Acid
[0149] 1.3 g of methyl 2-amino-7-methoxycarbonylbenzoate are introduced into 3.4 g of potassium hydroxide solution 50% under a nitrogen atmosphere and while stirring and the mixture is kept in a bomb tube at 120° C. for 12 hours. It is then cooled, a further 1.3 g of potassium hydroxide solution 50% are added under an inert atmosphere and the mixture is kept at 150° C. for another 4 hours. It is then cooled and added dropwise, under an inert atmosphere at 0° C., to an amount of dilute sulfuric acid such that a pH of 5.5 results. The precipitate which forms is filtered off and washed with ice-water. After drying under a high vacuum, the title compound of melting point 255-258° C., which contains traces of the corresponding disulfide on the basis of the mass spectrum, results.
