The invention relates to 4-alkyl-substituted diaminopyrimidines and their agrochemically active salts, to their use and to methods and compositions for controlling phytopathogenic harmful fungi in and/or on plants or in and/or on seed of plants, to processes for preparing such compositions and treated seeds and also to their use for controlling phytopathogenic harmful fungi in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, in the protection of materials and in the domestic and hygiene field. The present invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing 4-alkyl-substituted diaminopyrimidines.
It is already known that certain alkynyl-substituted diaminopyrimidines can be used as fungicidal crop protection agents (see DE 4029650 A1). However, in particular at low application rates, the fungicidal activity of these compounds is not always sufficient.
Since the ecological and economic demands made on modern fungicides are increasing constantly, for example with respect to activity spectrum, toxicity, selectivity, application rate, formation of residues and favourable manufacture, and there can furthermore be problems, for example, with resistance, there is a constant need to develop novel crop protection agents, in particular fungicides which, at least in some areas, have advantages over the known crop protection agents.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the present 4-alkyl-substituted diaminopyrimidines solve at least some aspects of the objects mentioned and are suitable for use as crop protection agents, in particular as fungicides.
Some of these 4-alkyl-substituted diaminopyrimidines are already known as pharmaceutically active compounds (see, for example, WO 07/003,596, WO 06/087230, WO 05/111022, WO 05/111023, WO 05/037800, WO 04/065378, WO 04/056786, WO 04/056807, WO 04/048343, WO 03/032997, WO 03/030909, WO 02/096888), but not their surprising fungicidal activity.

The present invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing the diaminopyrimidines of the formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) according to the invention, comprising at least one of steps (a) to (f) below:
where the definitions of the radicals R1 to R10 and X1 and X2 in the above schemes correspond to the definitions and Y and Hal represents F, Cl, Br, I.
One way of preparing the intermediate (V) is shown in Scheme 1.
The alkyl-substituted amino compounds of the formula (II) are either commercially available or can be prepared according to literature procedures. One method of preparing suitable amino compounds (II) is, for example, the reduction of corresponding nitro compounds (described, for example, in J. Chem Soc, 1947, 1474), carboxamides (described, for example, in J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1950, 72, 2657), and the reduction of corresponding azides (described, for example, in Synth. Commun. 1988, 18, 1975), oximes (described, for example, in Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 2665) or nitriles (described, for example, in Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 1737). The synthesis of alkyl-substituted amino compounds of the formula (II) is also possible via reductive amination of ketones or aldehydes (described, for example, in J. Mol Cat, 1999, 146, 129). Further methods for preparing (II) comprise the cleavage of corresponding phthalimides according to Gabriel or the aminolysis of alkyl halides (described, for example, in Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 4467) and the alkylation of corresponding primary amines (Tetrahedron Assymm. 2000, 11, 1165).
Suitable substituted 2,4-dihalopyrimidines (III) are either commercially available or can be prepared according to literature procedures, for example from commercially available substituted uracils (for example R8═CN: J. Org. Chem. 1962, 27, 2264; J. Chem. Soc. 1955, 1834; Chem. Ber. 1909, 42, 734; R8═CF3: J. Fluorine Chem. 1996, 77, 93; see also WO 2000/047539).
Initially, using a suitable base at a temperature of from −30° C. to +80° C. in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, dioxane, THF, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile, an amine (II) is reacted with a 2,4-dihalopyrimidine (III) over a period of 1-24 h. Suitable for use as base are, for example, inorganic salts, such as NaHCO3, Na2CO3 or K2CO3, organometallic compounds, such as LDA or NaHMDS, or amine bases, such as ethyldiisopropylamine, DBU, DBN or tri-n-butylamine. Alternatively, the reaction can also be carried out as described, for example, in Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 395 with the aid of a suitable transition metal catalyst, such as, for example, palladium, in combination with a suitable ligand, such as, for example, triphenylphosphine or xanthphos.
Some of the compounds of the formula (V) are novel and thus also form part of the subject-matter of the present invention.
Novel are compounds of the formula (Va)
in which

One way of preparing the compounds (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) is shown in Scheme 2.
The substituted (het)aromatic amines (IV) are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods known from the literature from commercially available precursors. (Het)aromatic amines which carry one or more identical or different substituents in the aromatic moiety can be prepared by a large number of methods described in the relevant literature. In an exemplary manner, some of the methods are mentioned below.
Sulphonamide- or sulphonic ester-substituted (het)arylamines can be prepared, for example, by the reaction, known from the literature, of commercially available aminosulphonic acids with chlorinating agents (for example POCl3) and subsequent reaction of the sulphochlorides formed with O- or N-nucleophiles.
Two customary methods for preparing N-monoacylated diaminoaromatics are outlined in Scheme 7. Thus, for example, nitroanilines can be converted by standard methods using acyl halides, chloroformic esters or iso(thio)cyanates into the corresponding N-acylnitroaromatics, which can then be reduced by procedures known from the literature to give N-acylaminoaromatics. A further method describes the preparation of the compounds mentioned by transition metal-catalysed crosscoupling of aminohaloaromatics and N-acyl compounds (see, for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 7727).
Cyclic radicals R3 or R4 attached via nitrogen can be prepared, for example, by condensing nitroaminoaromatics with haloalkylcarbonyl halides or diesters or diester equivalents or lactones; the subsequent reduction of the nitro group affords the desired (het)aromatic amine. A further way to synthesize N-attached radicals R3 or R4 is the condensation of nitroarylhydrazines with diesters or diester equivalents, propargyl acid esters or keto esters. The reduction of the nitro group affords the aniline.
Substituted 3- or 4-aminopyridines can be prepared, for example, by reducing appropriately substituted nitropyridines (for example WO2006074147) by Hoffmann or Curtius degradation of corresponding pyridinecarboxylic acid derivatives (for example Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 3484) or aminolysis of substituted halopyridines (for example EP228846). Other methods consist in the reaction, known from the literature, of corresponding haloaminopyridines with 0-, N- or S-nucleophiles (for example Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2002, 12, 1517) and also C-nucleophiles (for example Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2000, 10, 2383). A further method describes the preparation of the compounds mentioned by transition metal-catalysed crosscoupling of aminohalopyridines (WO2006025979).
The intermediate (V) is reacted in the presence of Brönstedt acids, such as, for example, anhydrous hydrochloric acid, camphorsulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid, in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, dioxane, THF, DMSO, DME, 2-methoxyethanol, n-butanol or acetonitrile, at a temperature of 0° C.-140° C. and over a period of 1-48 h with a (het)aromatic amine (IV). This is analogously described, for example, in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 2689; GB2002 A1-2369359, Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 4113.
Alternatively, the reaction of (V) and (IV) to give (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic) can also be carried out under base-catalysis, i.e. using, for example, carbonates, such as potassium carbonate, alkoxides, such as potassium tert-butoxide, or hydrides, such as sodium hydride, where the catalytic use of a transition metal, such as, for example, palladium, together with a suitable ligand, such as, for example, xanthphos, may also be useful.
Finally, it is possible to carry out the reaction of (V) and (IV) to give (I) in the absence of solvents and/or Brönstedt acids (described, for example, in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 108; Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2005, 15, 3881).
One way of preparing compounds of the formula (VII) is shown in Scheme 3.
2-Halo-substituted pyrimidin-4-ones (VIb) can be obtained from 2,4-dihalo-substituted pyrimidines by regioselective hydrolysis. This is described, for example, in Russ. J. Org. Chem. 2006, 42, 580; J. Med. Chem. 1965, 8, 253.
Intermediates of the formula (VIb) are reacted in the presence of Brönstedt acids, such as, for example, anhydrous hydrochloric acid, camphorsulphonic acid or p-toluenesulphonic acid, in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, dioxane, THF, DMSO, DME, 2-methoxyethanol, n-butanol or acetonitrile at a temperature of 0° C.-140° C. over a period of 1-48 h with a (net)aromatic amine (IV).
Alternatively, the reaction of (VIb) and (IV) to give (VII) can also be carried out under base-catalysis, i.e. using, for example, carbonates, such as potassium carbonate, alkoxides, such as potassium tert-butoxide, or hydrides, such as sodium hydride, where the catalytic use of a transition metal, such as, for example, palladium, together with a suitable ligand, such as, for example, xanthphos, may also be useful.
Finally, it is possible to carry out the reaction of (VIb) and (IV) to give (VII) in the absence of solvents and/or Brönstedt acids (described, for example, in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 108; Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2005, 15, 3881).
Some of the compounds of the formula (VII) are novel and thus also form part of the subject-matter of the present invention.
Novel are compounds of the formula (VIIa),
in which the symbols are as defined below:
One way of preparing compounds of the formula (VIM is shown in Scheme 4.
Intermediates of the formula (VII) can be converted by reaction with suitable halogenating agents, such as, for example, thionyl chloride, phosphorus pentoxide or phosphoryl chloride or a mixture thereof, if appropriate in the presence of a suitable solvent, such as, for example, toluene or ethanol, and if appropriate in the presence of a suitable base, such as, for example, triethylamine, into 2-anilino-4-chloropyrimidines of the formula (VIII). This is analogously described, for example, in J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32, 1667; J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1989, 26, 313.
A further method for preparing compounds of the formula (VIIIb) from 2,4-dihalopyrimidine (IIIb) and aromatic amines (IV) is shown in Scheme 5.
Using a suitable Lewis acid or a suitable base, at a temperature of from −15° C. to 100° C. and in a suitable inert solvent, such as, for example, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, THF, n-butanol, tert-butanol, dichloroethane or dichloromethane, a (het)aromatic amine (IV) is reacted with a 2,4-dihalopyrimidine (IIIb) over a period of 1-24 h. Suitable for use as base are, for example, inorganic salts, such as NaHCO3, Na2CO3 or K2CO3, organometallic compounds, such as LDA or NaHMDS, or amine bases, such as ethyldiisopropylamine, DBU, DBN or tri-n-butylamine. Suitable for use as Lewis acid are, for example (but not limited thereto), halides of the metals zinc (for example ZnCl2), magnesium, copper, tin or titanium (see, for example, US 2005/0256145 or WO 05/023780 and the literature cited therein).
Some of the compounds of the formula (VIII) are novel and thus also form part of the subject-matter of the present invention.
Novel are compounds of the formula (VIIIa),
in which the symbols are as defined below:
A further way of preparing the compound (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic) is shown in Scheme 6.
To prepare compounds of the formula (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic) the intermediate (VIII) is, in the presence of bases, such as, for example, carbonates, such as potassium carbonate, alkoxides, such as potassium tert-butoxide, or hydrides, such as sodium hydride, or amine bases, in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, dioxane, THY, DMSO, DME, 2-methoxyethanol, n-butanol or acetonitrile, at a temperature of 0° C.-140° C. reacted over a period of 1-48 h with amines of the formula (H), where the catalytic use of a transition metal, such as, for example, palladium, together with a suitable ligand, such as, for example, triphenylphosphine or xanthphos, may also be useful.
In general, it is also possible to choose a different route for preparing the compounds (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) and (I) according to the invention, as shown in Scheme 8.
[A further method for preparing diaminopyrimidines of the formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) and (I) is shown in Scheme 9:
Starting with 4-halo-substituted 2-aminopyrimidines (XII), which can be prepared, for example, analogously to (VIII) from compounds of the type (VIa), (VIb) or (IX) by reaction with R6-amines and subsequent chlorination in the 4-position, it is possible to obtain, after addition of an amino compound (II), certain diaminopyrimidines (XIII). In a transition metal-catalysed subsequent step, these can be reacted with an aryl halide (XIV) (as described, for example, in Org. Lett. 2002, 4, 3481), to give the desired target compound (Ia), (Ib), (Ic).

Stabilizers, such as low-temperature stabilizers, preservatives, antioxidants, light stabilizers or other agents which improve chemical and/or physical stability may also be present.
If appropriate, it is also possible for other addition components to be present, for example protective colloids, binders, glues, thickeners, thixotropic agents, penetrants, stabilizers, sequestrants, complex fomers. In general, the active compounds can be combined with any solid or liquid additive customarily used for formulation purposes.
The formulations generally comprise between 0.05 and 99% by weight, 0.01 and 98% by weight, preferably between 0.1 and 95% by weight, particularly preferably between 0.5 and 90% by weight, of active compound. very particularly preferably between 10 and 70 percent by weight.
The formulations described above can be employed in a method according to the invention for controlling unwanted microorganisms where the diaminopyrimidines according to the invention are applied to the microorganisms and/or their habitat.
The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in their formulations, can also be used in a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides, for example to broaden the activity spectrum or to prevent the development of resistance.
Suitable mixing partners are, for example, known fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides or else bactericides (see also Pesticide Manual, 13th ed.).
A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth regulators, safeners and/or semiochemicals is also possible.
Application is carried out in a manner adapted to the use forms.
The control of phytopathogenic harmful fungi is primarily by treating the soil and the above-ground parts of the plants with crop protection compositions. Owing to concerns with a view to a possible impact of the crop protection compositions on the environment and human and animal health, there are efforts to reduce the amount of active compounds applied.
The active compounds can be applied as such, in the form of their formulations and the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts and granules. Application is carried out in a customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, 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.
When using the active compounds according to the invention as fungicides, the application rates can be varied within a relatively wide range, depending on the type of application. The application rate of the active compounds according to the invention is
These application rates are mentioned only in an exemplary manner and not limiting for the purpose of the invention.
The compounds according to the invention can also be used for protecting objects which come into contact with salt water or brackish water, such as hulls, screens, nets, buildings, moorings and signalling systems, against colonization.
The active compounds according to the invention, alone or in combination with other active compounds, can furthermore be employed as antifouling agents.
The treatment method according to the invention can be used for treating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), for example plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants (or transgenic plants) are plants in which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into the genome. The expression “heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which is provided or assembled outside the plant and when introduced in the nuclear, chloroplastic or mitochondrial genome gives the transformed plant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing a protein or polypeptide of interest or by downregulating or silencing other gene(s) which is/are present in the plant (using for example, antisense technology, cosuppression technology or RNA interference—RNAi—technology). A heterologous gene that is located in the genome is also called a transgene. A transgene that is defined by its particular location in the plant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event.
Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, the following effects, which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected, are possible: reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the active compounds and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, larger plant height, greener leaf colour, earlier flowering, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration within the fruits, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products.
In the present case, unwanted phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Thus, the substances according to the invention can be employed for protecting plants against attack by the abovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.
Plants and plant cultivars which are preferably treated according to the invention include all plants with genetic material which bestows upon these plants particularly advantageous useful properties (whether this was achieved by breeding and/or biotechnology is immaterial).
Plants and plant cultivars which are also preferably treated according to the invention are resistant against one or more biotic stresses, i.e. said plants have a better defence against animal and microbial pests, such as against nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids.
Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention are those plants which are resistant to one or more abiotic stress factors. Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought, cold temperature exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, flooding, increased soil salinity, increased mineral exposure, ozone exposure, high light exposure, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorus nutrients or shade avoidance.
Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention are those plants characterized by enhanced yield characteristics. Increased yield in said plants can be the result of, for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination efficiency and accelerated maturation. Yield can furthermore by affected by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stress conditions), including early flowering, flowering control for hybrid seed production, seedling vigour, plant size, internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, pod size, pod or ear number, seed number per pod or ear, seed mass, enhanced seed filling, reduced seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodging resistance. Further yield traits include seed composition, such as carbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and composition, nutritional value, reduction in anti-nutritional compounds, improved processability and better storage stability.
Plants that may be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants that already express the characteristics of heterosis or the hybrid effect which results in generally higher yield, vigour, health and resistance towards biotic and abiotic stress factors. Such plants are typically made by crossing an inbred male sterile parent line (the female parent) with another inbred male fertile parent line (the male parent). Hybrid seed is typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to growers. Male sterile plants can sometimes (e.g. in corn) be produced by detasseling, (i.e. the mechanical removal of the male reproductive organs or male flowers) but, more typically, male sterility is the result of genetic determinants in the plant genome. In that case, and especially when seed is the desired product to be harvested from the hybrid plants, it is typically useful to ensure that male fertility in the hybrid plants, which contain the genetic determinants responsible for male sterility, is fully restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that the male parents have appropriate fertility restorer genes which are capable of restoring the male fertility in hybrid plants that contain the genetic determinants responsible for male sterility. Genetic determinants for male sterility may be located in the cytoplasm. Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance described in Brassica species. However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome. Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means of obtaining male sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as a barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar.
Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may be treated according to the invention are herbicide-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or more given herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance.
Herbicide-tolerant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. For example, glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp., the genes encoding a petunia EPSPS, a tomato EPSPS, or an Eleusine EPSPS. It can also be a mutated EPSPS. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxidoreductase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes.
Other herbicide-resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition. One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is, for example, an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species). Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase have been described.
Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants that are made tolerant to the herbicides inhibiting the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD). Hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenases are enzymes that catalyse the reaction in which para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) is transformed into homogentisate. Plants tolerant to HPPD-inhibitors can be transformed with a gene encoding a naturally-occurring resistant HPPD enzyme, or a gene encoding a mutated HPPD enzyme. Tolerance to HPPD-inhibitors can also be obtained by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes enabling the formation of homogentisate despite the inhibition of the native HPPD enzyme by the HPPD-inhibitor. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding an enzyme prephenate dehydrogenase in addition to a gene encoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme.
Still further herbicide-resistant plants are plants that are made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS-inhibitors include, for example, sulphonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidmes, pyrimidinyloxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides. Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase, AHAS) are known to confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides. The production of sulphonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants has been described in the international publication WO 1996/033270. Further sulphonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants have also been described, for example in WO 2007/024782.
Other plants tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulphonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, by selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or by mutation breeding.
Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants made resistant to attack by certain target insects. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such insect resistance.
In the present context, the term “insect-resistant transgenic plant” includes any plant containing at least one transgene comprising a coding sequence encoding:
Of course, insect-resistant transgenic plants, as used herein, also include any plant comprising a combination of genes encoding the proteins of any one of the above classes 1 to 8. In one embodiment, an insect-resistant plant contains more than one transgene encoding a protein of any one of the above classes 1 to 8, to expand the range of target insect species affected or to delay insect resistance development to the plants, by using different proteins insecticidal to the same target insect species but having a different mode of action, such as binding to different receptor binding sites in the insect.
Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are tolerant to abiotic stresses. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such stress resistance. Particularly useful stress tolerance plants include:
Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention show altered quantity, quality and/or storage-stability of the harvested product and/or altered properties of specific ingredients of the harvested product such as, for example:
Plants or plant cultivars (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants, such as cotton plants, with altered fibre characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such altered fibre characteristics and include:
Plants or plant cultivars (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants, such as oilseed rape or related Brassica plants, with altered oil profile characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such altered oil characteristics and include:
Particularly useful transgenic plants which may be treated according to the invention are plants which comprise one or more genes which encode one or more toxins, are the following which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), BiteGard® (for example maize), Bt-Xtra® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton), Nucotn 33B® (cotton), NatureGard® (for example maize), Protecta® and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya beans), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinothricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinone) and SCS® (tolerance to sulphonylurea, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize).
Particularly useful transgenic plants which may be treated according to the invention are plants containing transformation events, or a combination of transformation events, that are listed for example in the databases for various national or regional regulatory agencies (see for example http://gmoinfojrc.it/gmp_browse.aspx and http://www.agbios.com/dbase.php).

Particular emphasis is given to treating the plants with the compounds and mixtures specifically indicated in the present text.
The compositions or active compounds according to the invention can also be used to protect plants for a certain period after treatment against attack by the pathogens mentioned. The period for which protection is provided generally extends over 1 to 28 days, preferably over 1 to 14 days, particularly preferably over 1 to 10 days, very particularly preferably over 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds, or over up to 200 days after seed treatment.

At −10° C., 5.42 g (39.3 mmol) of potassium carbonate are added to a solution of 6.00 g (32.7 mmol) of 2,4,5-trichloropyrimidine in 100 ml of acetonitrile. 3.06 g (34.4 mmol) of 2-amino-1-methoxypropane are then added dropwise as a 20% strength solution in acetonitrile.

The method used was adapted to microtitre plates using the method described by Lopez-Errasquin et al.: Journal of Microbiological Methods 68 (2007) 312-317.
Fumonisin-inducing liquid medium (Jiménez et al., Int. J. Food Microbiol. (2003), 89, 185-193) was inoculated with a concentrated spore suspension of Fusarium proliferatum (350 000 spores/ml, stored at −160° C.) to a final concentration of 2000 spores/ml.
The compounds were dissolved (10 mM in 100% DMSO) and diluted to 100 μM in H2O. The compounds were tested at 7 concentrations in a range of from 50 μM to 0.01 μM (diluted, starting with the 100 μM stock solution in 10% DMSO).
From each diluted solution, 5 μl were mixed with 95 μl of inoculated medium in a well of a 96-well microarray plate. The plate was covered and incubated at 20° C. for 6 days.
At the beginning and after 6 days, an OD measurement (OD620 multiple read per well (square: 3×3)) was carried out to calculate the “pI50” growth.
After 6 days, a sample of the liquid medium was diluted in 10% acetonitrile. The concentration of FB1 in the diluted samples was analysed by HPLC-MS/MS, and the results were used to calculate the “pI50 FB1” values.
HPLC-MS/MS was carried out using the parameters below:
Mass spectrometry instrument: Applied Biosystems API4000 QTrap
Chromatography column: Waters Atlantis T3 (50×2 mm)

Production of Fumortisin FB1 by Fusarium proliferatum
The compounds were tested in microtitre plates at 7 concentrations of from 0.07 μM to 50 μM in a DON-inducing liquid medium (1 g of (NH4)2HPO4, 0.2 g of MgSO4×7H2O, 3 g of KH2PO4, 10 g of glycerol, 5 g of NaCl and 40 g of sucrose per litre) with oat extract (10%) and DMSO (0.5%). Inoculation was carried out using a concentrated spore suspension of Fusarium graminearum at a final concentration of 2000 spores/ml.
The plate was incubated at high atmospheric humidity at 28° C. for 7 days.
At the beginning and after 3 days, an OD measurement was carried out at OD520 (repeated measurements: 3×3 measurements per well) to calculate the growth inhibition.
After 7 days, 100 μl of an 84/16 acetonitrile/water mixture were added, and samples of the liquid medium were then taken from each well and diluted 1:100 in 10% acetonitrile. The proportions of DON and acetyl-DON in the samples were analysed by HPLC-MS/MS, and the measured values were used to calculate the inhibition of the DON/AcDON production compared to an active compound-free control.

Ionization type: ESI negative
Ion spray voltage: −4500 V
Spray gas temperature: 500° C.
Decluster potential: −40 V
Collision energy: −22 eV
