Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a novel aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative which is useful as an insecticide, an acaricide, a nematocide and a fungicide.
The aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative of the present invention is a novel compound so that its activity of controlling noxious organisms has not been known.
In European Patent Publication No. 470 600 (corresponding to Japanese Provisional Patent Publication No. 230670/-1992), there has been disclosed a naphthylalkylaminopyrimidine derivative in which 1-position of an ethyl group at 6-position of a pyrimidine ring is substituted (e.g. Compounds No. 1.197 to 1.202). However, synthesized compounds are only Compounds No. 1.197, No. 1.200 and No. 1.202, and a substituent at 4-position is limited to a naphthylalkylamino group. Further, in these compounds, almost no activity as an agricultural chemical is obtained as mentioned in Example 3 on pages 64 to 74 below.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative, a method for preparing the same and a chemical for controlling noxious organisms useful as an insecticide, an acaricide, a nematocide and a fungicide which contains the same derivative as an active ingredient.
The present inventors have studied in order to solve the above task, and consequently found that a novel aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative has remarkable controlling activity as a chemical for controlling noxious organisms useful as an insecticide, an acaricide, a nematocide and a fungicide, to accomplish the present invention.
That is, a first invention is concerned to an aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative represented by the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 represents a halogen atom, a lower acyloxy group, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group or a lower alkylthio group; R.sup.2 represents a lower alkyl group, a hydrogen atom or a cycloalkyl group; R.sup.3 may be the same or different and represents a lower haloalkoxy group, a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a halogen atom, a lower alkylthio group, a nitro group, a lower haloalkyl group, a lower alkylsulfinyl group, a lower alkylsulfonyl group, a lower haloalkylthio group or a hydroxyl group; a carbon atom to which * is attached represents an asymmetric carbon atom provided that the case where R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom is excluded; and n represents an integer of 1 to 5.
In the present invention, the respective optical isomers, racemic compounds and diastereomer compounds of the compound (I) and a mixture of them are also included.
A second invention is concerned to a method for preparing the aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative represented by the above formula (I), which comprises reacting a pyrimidine derivative represented by the following formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 has the same meaning as defined above; and X represents a halogen atom, with an aralkylamine represented by the following formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and n each have the same meanings as defined above.
A third invention is concerned to a chemical for controlling noxious organisms comprising the aralkylaminopyrimidine derivative represented by the above formula (I) as an active ingredient.

In plastic flowerpots having a diameter of 6 cm, 10 wheats (variety: Kobushi wheat) were grown per one flowerpot, and to the young plants at 1.5 leaf stage, the chemicals obtained by diluting the wettable powders of the compounds (I) shown in Table 1 prepared as in Example 2 to 500 ppm with water containing a surfactant (0.01%) were sprayed in an amount of 20 ml per one flowerpot, respectively. After spraying, the wheats were grown in a glass greenhouse for 2 days, and then a suspension of spores of brown rust (wheat) (7.times.10.sup.4 /ml) was sprayed uniformly to the plants to be inoculated thereinto.
After inoculation, the wheats were grown in a glass greenhouse for one week, and the degree of lesion of brown rust (wheat) appeared on the first leaves was examined.
The results are shown in Table 9 according to the 6 rank evaluation method described in the above (5).
