TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to aryltetrahydropyridine derivatives or salts thereof, pest control agents containing the compounds as active ingredients, and methods for use thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

Patent Literatures 1 and 2 report that certain kinds of piperidinone carboxamide compounds are useful as pharmaceutical compounds. However, these Literatures only disclose an unsubstituted phenyl group as a 6-position substituent on the ring of tetrahydropyridine-2,4-dione, and do not describe or suggest the tetrahydropyridine derivative having a phenyl group having one or more substituents and an optionally substituted heterocyclic group of the present invention. Thus, the control activity of this compound against insect pests in the agricultural and horticultural field and animal parasites is not known at all.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

In the production of useful crops in agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests is enormous, and many effective agrohorticultural insect pest control agents are on the market. However, due to the demand for a drug that is highly effective against insect pests that are resistant to existing drugs, a drug with physical properties suitable for various labor-saving application methods, a drug superior in human and animal safety with reduced acute toxicity and the like, and a drug superior in environmental safety, such as appropriate persistence in soil and the like, the development of a novel agrohorticultural insect pest control agent is still one of the important problems in the field of agriculture and horticulture. In addition, parasite control is an important problem when raising animals such as farm animal, companion animal (pet) and the like. In addition to the parasite infection itself, the viruses, bacteria and the like transmitted by the parasites cause considerable suffering to animals, resulting in huge economic losses for farm animals. Therefore, the development of a novel ectoparasite control agent for animals and endoparasite control agent for animals has been desired.


Solution to Problem

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in an attempt to develop a novel pest control agent, particularly an agrohorticultural insect pest control agent, an ectoparasite control agent for animals, and an endoparasite control agent for animals, and found that a compound having an aryltetrahydropyridine derivative as the carboxylic acid moiety of the carboxamide represented by the formula (1) of the present invention or salts thereof are useful as pest control agents, which resulted in the completion of the present invention.


Accordingly, the present invention relates to


[1] a compound represented by the formula (1)

Examples thereof include inert solvents such as chain or cyclic saturated hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, and the like, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and the like, halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and the like, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, and the like, chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, methyl tertiary-butyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and the like, and the like, nitriles such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, and the like, esters such as methyl acetate and the like, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and the like, aprotic polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, and the like, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, 2-propanol, and the like, and the like. These inert solvents can be used alone or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof may be used. The amount thereof to be used can be appropriately selected from the range of generally 0.1 to 100 L per 1 mol of a compound represented by the formula (13).


Since this reaction is an equimolar reaction, each compound may be used in an equimolar amount, but it is also possible to use either compound in excess. The reaction temperature in this reaction may be generally 0° C. to the boiling point of the solvent to be used. The reaction time varies depending on the reaction scale, reaction temperature, and the like, and is not constant, but it can be appropriately selected from the range of generally several minutes to 48 hours. After completion of the reaction, the target product may be isolated from the reaction system containing the target product by a conventional method and the target product can be produced by purification using recrystallization, column chromatography, and the like as necessary. The product can also be subjected to the next step without isolation.


Production Method of Step [1]

A compound represented by the formula (16) can be produced by hydrolyzing a compound represented by the formula (15) in the presence of an acid and inert solvent.


Examples of the acid that can be used in this reaction include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and the like, organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, benzoic acid, and the like, sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, paratoluenesulfonic acid, and the like, phosphoric acid, and the like. The amount thereof to be used can be appropriately selected from the range of 0.01-fold mol to 10-fold mol with respect to a compound represented by the formula (15). The acid can also be used as a solvent.


An inert solvent that can be used in this reaction may be any as long as it does not markedly inhibit the progress of this reaction. Examples thereof include inert solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and the like, halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and the like, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, and the like, chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, methyl tertiary-butyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and the like, esters such as ethyl acetate and the like, amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and the like, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and the like, polar solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, and the like, and the like. These inert solvents can be used alone or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof may be used. The amount of the inert solvent to be used is not particularly limited as long as it is an amount that dissolves the reaction reagent, and can be appropriately selected from the range of 0.5 L to 100 L per 1 mol of a compound represented by the formula (15). When the aforementioned acid is used as a solvent, a solvent may not be used.


The reaction temperature may be room temperature to the boiling point of the inert solvent to be used. The reaction time varies depending on the reaction scale and reaction temperature, and is not constant, but it can be appropriately selected from the range of generally several minutes to 48 hours. After completion of the reaction, the target product may be isolated from the reaction system containing the target product by a conventional method and the target product can be produced by purification using recrystallization, column chromatography, and the like as necessary. The product can also be subjected to the next step without isolation.
