MANUFACTURING EXAMPLES

Example 5

At 0.degree. C., 3.1 g of 2-methylbenzoic chloride is dripped into a solution of 3.0 g of sec-butyl-aniline and 2.0 g of triethylamine in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours at 0.degree. C. After dilution with 500 ml of water, extraction with ethyl acetate and evaporation of the solvent, there is isolated 2-methylbenzoic acid-2-sec-butylanilide; m.p. 89.degree.-90.degree. C. (Compound No. 2.4).

Example 6

At 0.degree. C., 2.5 g thionyl chloride is dripped into a solution of 3.0 g of 2-methyl-5,6-dihydropyran-3-carboxylic acid. After the mixture has been stirred for 1 hour, 2.8 g of 2-isopropylaniline is added and the whole is stirred for 12 hours at room temperature (20.degree. C.). The pyridine is evaporated off, 50 ml of water is stirred in, the pH is adjusted to 3 with dilute hydrochloric acid, and extraction is carried out with ethyl acetate. The solvent is evaporated, the residue is mixed with diisopropyl ether, and there is isolated 3.3 g of 2-methyl-5,6-dihydropyran-3-carboxylic acid-2-isopropylanilide; m.p.: 99.degree.-101.degree. C. (Compound No. 2.62).

The invention further relates to the use of 2-aminobiphenyl derivatives of the general formula II ##STR10## where the substituents have the following meanings: ##STR11## X methylene, sulfur, sulfinyl, sulfonyl (SO.sub.2), R.sup.1 methyl, trifluoromethyl, chlorine, bromine, iodine,

R.sup.2 trifluoromethyl, chlorine, R.sup.3 hydrogen or methyl R.sup.4 methyl, trifluoromethyl, chlorine R.sup.5 hydrogen, methyl, chlorine R.sup.6 methyl, trifluoromethyl R.sup.7 methyl, chlorine R.sup.8 C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylthio, halogen for combating Botrytis.

The compounds of the formula III are obtained for instance by reacting a correspondingly substituted carboxylic halide of the formula 4 ##STR12## Hal denoting chlorine or bromine, with an ortho-substituted aniline of the formula 5 in the presence of a base. The carboxylic acids and their halides of the formula 4 are known. Some of the anilines of the formula 5 are known or can be prepared by known processes (Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 28 p. 5093 (1987); THL Vol 295463 (1988)).

The novel compounds are suitable as fungicides.

The fungicidal compounds according to the invention, or agents containing them, may be applied for instance in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions (including high-percentage aqueous, oily or other suspensions), dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broadcasting agents, or granules by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The forms of application depend entirely on the purpose for which the agents are being used, but they must ensure as fine a distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention as possible.

Normally, the plants are sprayed or dusted with the active ingredients, or the seeds of the plants are treated with the active ingredients.

The formulations are produced in known manner, for example by extending the active ingredient with solvents and/or carriers, with or without the use of emulsifiers and dispersants; if water is used as solvent, it is also possible to employ other organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable auxiliaries for this purpose are solvents such as aromatics (e.g., xylene), chlorinated aromatics (e.g., chlorobenzenes), paraffins (e.g., crude oil fractions), alcohols (e.g., methanol, butanol), ketones (e.g., cyclohexanone), amines (e.g., ethanolamine, dimethylformamide), and water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (e.g., kaolins, aluminas, talc and chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g., highly disperse silica and silicates); emulsifiers such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (e.g., polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkyl sulfonates and aryl sulfonates); and dispersants such as lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, e.g., ligninsulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates, and alkyl, lauryl ether and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.

Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, e.g., ligninsulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates, and alkyl, lauryl ether and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.

Powders, dusts and broadcasting agents may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier.

Granules, e.g., coated, impregnated or homogeneous granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silicic acids, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, attapulgus clay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and ureas, and vegetable products such as grain meals, bark meal, wood meal, and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders, etc.

Examples of formulations are given below.

The novel compounds are extremely effective on a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, in particular Botrytis. Some of them have a systemic action and can be used as foliar and soil fungicides.

The fungicidal compounds are of particular interest for controlling a large number of fungi in various crops or their seeds, especially wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, Indian corn, lawns, cotton, soybeans, coffee, sugar cane, fruit and ornamentals in horticulture and viticulture, and in vegetables such as cucumbers, beans and cucurbits.

The compounds are applied by treating the fungi or the seeds, plants or materials threatened by fungus attack, or the soil with a fungicidally effective amount of the active ingredients.

The agents may be applied before or after infection of the materials, plants or seeds by the fungi.

The novel compounds are particularly useful for controlling the following plant diseases:

Erysiphe graminis in cereals, Erysiphe cichoracearum and Sphaerotheca fuliginea in cucurbits, Podosphaera leucotricha in apples, Uncinula necator in vines, Venturia inaequalis (scab) in apples, Helminthosporium species in cereals, Septoria nodorum in wheat, Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) in strawberries and grapes, Cercospora arachidicola in groundnuts, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides in wheat and barley, Pyricularia oryzae in rice, Fusarium and Verticillium species in various plants, Alternaria species in fruit and vegetables.

Use against Botrytis is preferred.

The novel compounds may also be used for protecting materials (timber), e.g., against Paecilomyces variotii.

The fungicidal agents generally contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably from 0.5 to 90, wt % of active ingredient.

The application rates depend on the type of effect desired, and range from 0.02 to 3 kg of active ingredient per hectare.

When the active ingredients are used for treating seed, rates of 0.001 to 50, and preferably from 0.01 to 10, g per kg of seed are generally sufficient.

In these application forms, the agents according to the invention may also be present together with other active ingredients, for example herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, and other fungicides, and may furthermore be mixed and applied together with fertilizers. Admixture with other fungicides frequently results in a greater fungicidal action spectrum.

Two hours after the sprayed-on layer had dried, the slices were inoculated with a spore suspension of the fungus Botrytis cinerea, which contained 1.7.times.10.sup.6 spores per ml of a 2% strength malt solution. The inoculated slices were then incubated in humid chambers at 18.degree. C. for 4 days. The development of Botrytis on the slices attacked was then assessed visually.

The results show that active ingredients 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8, applied as spray liquors containing 500 ppm of active ingredient, have a better fungicidal action (95%) than prior art comparative compounds A (10%) and B (65%).

Action on Botrytis cinerea in paprika

Paprika pods were slit open and the inside surfaces were sprayed to runoff with aqueous active ingredient formulations containing (dry basis) 80% of active ingredient and 20% of emulsifier. After the sprayed-on layer had dried, the pieces were inoculated with an aqueous suspension containing 1.7.times.10.sup.6 spores of Botrytis cinerea per ml.

The paprika pieces were then kept for 4 days in climatic cabinets at 20.degree.-22.degree. C. The extent of fungus spread was then assessed visually.

The results show that compounds 2.4, 4.4, 6.4, 7.4, 7.5, 9.1, 9.2, 9.4, 9.5, 10.1, 10.2, 10.4, 10.5, 12.4, 12.6, 2.65 and 2.66, applied as aqueous spray liquors containing 1,000 ppm of active ingredient, have a good fungicidal action (100%).
