Description

The present invention relates to new 3,6-disubstituted 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones, a process for their preparation and their use as pest-combating agents.

It has been disclosed that monosubstituted 1,3,5-thiadiazines, such as, for example, 2,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-2-thioxo-4H-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-one, possess good fungicidal properties (see DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,101,238).

Furthermore, disubstituted and trisubstituted thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazine compounds are known, such as, for example, 3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione, 3-methyl-5-carboxymethyl-tetrahydro-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione and 3,3'-ethylene-bis-[tetrahydro-4,6-dimethyl-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione]. These compounds, too, have fungicidal properties (see, for example, R. Wegler, "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz- und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel" (Chemistry of plant protection agents and pest-combating agents), Vol. 2, pages 126-127, Springer Verlag Berlin-Heidelberg-New York 1970).

In the case of all of these compounds, the action is not always completely satisfactory under certain conditions, for example when low concentrations are used.

New 3,6-disubstituted 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen; alkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; alkenyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; alkinyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted; cycloalkenyl or cycloalkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; aryl or aralkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; or a heterocyclic structure which is monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents;

R.sup.2 represents alkenyl or alkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; cycloalkenyl or cycloalkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; aralkyl which is monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; or the fluorenyl radical; and X represents oxygen or sulphur, have been found.

Furthermore, it has been found that the 3,6-disubstituted 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones of the formula (I) ##STR3## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen; alkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; alkenyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; alkinyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted; cycloalkenyl or cycloalkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; aryl or aralkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; or a heterocyclic structure which is monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents;

R.sup.2 represents alkenyl or alkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; cycloalkenyl or cycloalkyl which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; aralkyl which is monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents; or the fluorenyl radical; and X represents oxygen or sulphur, are obtained if 1,3,5-thiadiazines of the formula (II) ##STR4## in which R.sup.1 and X have the meaning given above, are reacted with diazo compounds of the formula (III) R.sup.2' =N.sub.2 (III) in which R.sup.2' represents alkenylene, cycloalkylene, cycloalkenylene, aralkylene or alkylene which is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted by identical or different substituents, or represents the fluorenylene radical, if appropriate in the presence of an inert diluent.

The new 3,6-disubstituted 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones of the formula (I) possess powerful biological properties, especially fungicial properties. In this respect, the compounds according to the invention surprisingly show a better fungicidal action than the fungicidal active compounds known from the prior art.

The new compounds thus represent an enrichment of the art.

If, for example, 2,3-dihydro-6-phenylthio-2-thioxo-4H-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-one and diazomethane are used, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation: ##STR5##

Formula (II) gives a general definition of the 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones to be used as starting materials in carrying out the process according to the invention. In this formula, R.sup.1 and X preferably represent those radicals which have already been mentioned in connection with the description of the substances according to the invention, of the formula (I), as being preferred for these substituents.

Some of the 1,3,5-thiadiazines of the formula (II) are known (see DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,010,204, DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,010,237 and DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,010,238).

Both the new and the known compounds can be obtained by the process stated therein, by reacting carbonyl diisothiocyanate of the formula (IV) ##STR6## with compounds of the formula (V)

R.sup.1 --X--H (V) in which R.sup.1 and X have the meaning given above, in the presence of an inert solvent, such as, for example, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons or halogenated hydrocarbons.

The majority of the diazo compounds of the formula (III) which are furthermore required as starting materials are known or can be obtained in a generally known manner (see Houben-Weyl Vol. X/4).

Suitable diluents for the reaction according to the invention are inert organic solvents. These preferably include ethers, such as, for example, diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; hydrocarbons, such as, for example, hexane, ligroin fractions, benzene, toluene and xylene; and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as, for example, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene. One of the stated ethers is particularly preferably used.

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out at between -10.degree. C. and +60.degree. C., preferably at 0.degree. C. to 30.degree. C.

In carrying out the process according to the invention, preferably 1 to 1.5 mols of the compound of the formula (III) are employed per mol of the compound of the formula (II). To isolate the compounds of the formula (I), the solvent is distilled off and the residue is purified by recrystallisation or extraction. In a variant of the process according to the invention, the 1,3,5-thiadiazine of the formula (II) which is formed by reaction of the carbonyl diisocyanate of the formula (IV) with compounds of the formula (V) is not isolated at an intermediate stage, but is reacted directly with a compound of the formula (III) to give 3,6-disubstituted 2-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-ones of the general formula (I).

The active compounds according to the invention exhibit a powerful microbicidal action and can be employed in practice for combating undesired micro-organisms. The active compounds are suitable for use as plant protection agents.

Thus, for example, fungicidal agents can be employed in plant protection for combating Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes.

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.

In plant protection, the compounds according to the invention can be employed with particularly good success for combating Puccinia, Leptosphaeria and Venturia species, against fungal pathogens on rice, such as, for example, Pyricularia. In addition, they have, for example, a good fungicidal action against powdery mildew, Cochliobolus sativus and Pyrenophora teres on cereals. When used in an appropriate manner, they also exhibit insecticidal and acaricidal activity.

The active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, and ULV formulations.

These formulations are produced in known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is, emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-forming agents. 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, polyoxyethylene-fatty 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 or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, and natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Further additives can be mineral or 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 the formulations or in the various use forms as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, 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, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, foams, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, scattering, dusting, foaming, painting on, etc. It is also possible to apply the active compounds by the ultra-low volume method, or to inject the preparation of active compound, or the active compound itself, into the soil. It is also possible to treat the seed of the plants.

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 to 0.0001% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 0.001%.

In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required.

For the treatment of the soil, active compound concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0001 to 0.02%, are required at the place of action.

The preparation examples which follow are intended to illustrate the process according to the invention.
