Cyclic alkylidene substituted pyridine herbicides

This invention relates to a new class of substituted pyridinecarboxylic acid derivatives having a wide range of activity as herbicides.
Pyridine derivatives have, for many years, been investigated for use in biological sciences. For example, 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-pyridinols have been found useful as herbicides and fungicides as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,748,334. Such compounds are characterized by substitution in the 4-position by a hydroxy radical. In addition to the hydroxy radical, the pyridine nucleus may also be substituted with bromo, chloro or iodo radicals. Trifluoromethyl pyridine derivatives have also been disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,516,402 and 3,705,170 wherein the nucleus is further substituted by halogens as well as numerous other substituents. Some of these compounds are also noted to be useful as herbicides.
Also known because of their fungicidal activity are 4-substituted 2,6-dichloro-3,5-dicyanopyridines wherein the 4-position is substituted with alkyl, phenyl, naphthyl or pyridyl groups. Such compounds are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,284,293, while similar compounds are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,629,270 wherein the 4-position is substituted with a heterocyclic groups wherein the hetero atom is oxygen or sulfur.
In EPO patent 44,262 there are disclosed 2,6-dialkyl-3-phenylcarbamyl-5-pyridinecarboxylates and 5-cyano-compounds useful as herbicides. There is no disclosure of the 2-haloalkyl radicals or any substitution in the 4-position of the pyridine ring.
The pyridine derivatives have also received attention in the search for new herbicides and have been reported in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,944,412, 3,637,716, and 3,651,070. All of these patents disclose polyhalo derivatives of dicarboxypyridines. All have in common the direct substitution on a ring carbon by a halogen in the 3- and 5-positions while the 2- and 6-positions are occupied by carboxylate groups. The 4-position is open to substitution by a wide range of materials including halogens, hydroxy radicals, alkoxy, and carboxyl groups. Such compounds have found utilization as herbicides, bactericides, and fungicides. When the 4-position is occupied by a silver salt, U.S. Pat. No. 1,944,412 discloses that such compounds have been utilized in the production of X-ray pictures with intravenous injection of such compounds.
Pyridinedicarboxylate compounds useful as herbicides are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,692,184. These compounds have fluorinated methyl groups at the 2- and 6-positions and carboxylic acid derivative at the 3- and 5-positions.
Other pyridinedicarboxylate compounds including pyrazole amides are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,093. U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,384 discloses pyridines substituted at the 3- and/or 5-position(s) with a heterocyclic moiety. U.S. Pat. No. 4,066,438 and 4,180,395 disclose various herbicidal polyhalo substituted pyridyloxy compounds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The novel herbicidal compounds of this invention are readily prepared from known monoesters of substituted 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acids. Many of the starting materials are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,692,184 (Lee 9/87) and 4,826,532 (Sing et al. 5/89), the full texts of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Intermediate compounds are prepared by converting the appropriate monoacid to the acid chloride, thus producing chlorocarbonylpyridinecarboxylates. The acid chloride groups may be converted to hydroxymethyl groups by known methods from which various compounds may be made. For example, the hydroxymethyl may be converted to a formyl by known methods. Alternatively, it may be converted to a chloromethyl which in turn may be converted to a cyanomethyl group by reaction with sodium cyanide. These intermediates are the basis for the compounds of the present invention.
From the cyanomethylpyridinecarboxylate intermediates, one may prepare the compounds of the present invention wherein R is cyano. This is accomplished by reaction with the appropriate haloalkylcarbonyl halide, for example, 4-bromobutyryl chloride, 4-chlorobutyryl chloride, 2-bromoethylchloroformate, 1-methyl-4-chlorobutyryl chloride, or 2,2-dimethyl-4-bromobutyryl chloride, under usual conditions for cyclization, for example, under a phase transfer catalyst such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride.
The cyclic group thus produced may be further derivatized. For example, one or two chloro groups may be added by metallization. The monochloro derivative may be further reacted with nucleophiles to produce various compounds of the present invention. Such nucleophiles may be, for example, SCH.sub.3, SCN, or OH.
The compounds of the present invention wherein R is a hydrogen may be prepared from the formyl intermediates described above. Reaction with the appropriate cyclic phosphorane derivative under Wittig reaction conditions or with the appropriate cyclic triphenyl phosphine oxide will produce the desired compounds.
Cyclopentylidenemethyl derivatives are prepared by reaction of the appropriate formyl intermediate with cyclopentyl magnesium chloride, followed by dehydration. The cyclopentyl ring may be further substituted by various groups using known reactions. Unexpectedly, reaction with bromine will add a bromine to the ring instead of reacting with the double bond.
After the desired ring has been added to the pyridinecarboxylate the other substituents on the ring may be transformed to produce other compounds of the present invention. For example, to obtain compounds wherein R.sub.3 is other than an alkoxy group, the ester is converted to the acid (R.sub.3 to OH) by treatment with an alkalki metal hydroxide, for example, potassium hydroxide. The acid is then converted to the acid chloride using conventional methods such as with thionyl chloride. The acid chloride is then conveniently converted to other desired derivatives by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Another example of later conversion of other substituents is for R.sub.2 and R.sub.6. These substituents may be obtained by preparing the appropriate 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,692,184 and 4,826,532 mentioned above. Alternatively, compounds of the present invention wherein R.sub.2 or R.sub.6 is difluoromethyl may be converted to the dichloromethyl derivative by treatment with aluminum chloride. The 2- or 6-dichloromethyl group may be hydrogenated under usual conditions to prepare the 2- or 6-methyl derivatives or it may be selectively hydrogenated by using only one equivalent of base to produce the monochloromethyl group. Alternatively, the dichloromethyl group may be treated with an alkoxide to produce a dialkoxyalkyl, for example, dimethoxymethyl.
The R.sub.4 group may also be transformed after addition of the cyclic alkylidene substituent. For example, an alkylthioalkyl group may be converted to a haloalkyl, which in turn may be converted to a dialkylaminoalkyl group, using conventional methods.

HERBICIDAL EFFICACY EXAMPLES
Pre-Emergent Activity on Plants
As noted above, compounds of this invention have been found to be effective as herbicides, particularly pre-emergent herbicides. Tables A and B summarize results of tests conducted to determine the pre-emergent herbicidal activity of the compounds of this invention. The herbicidal ratings used in Tables A and B were assigned according to a scale based on the percent inhibition of each plant species. The herbicide rating symbols in Tables A and B are defined as follows:
______________________________________% Inhibition Rating______________________________________ 0-24 025-49 150-74 275-100 3Not planted -- or a blankSpecies planted, no data N______________________________________
One set of pre-emergent tests was conducted as follows:
Topsoil was placed in a pan and compacted to a depth of 0.95 to 1.27 cm. from the top of the pan. A predetermined number of seeds of each of several monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous annual plant species and/or vegetative propagules of various perennial plant species were placed on top of the soil. The soil required to level fill a pan after seeding or adding vegetative propagules was weighed into another pan. A known amount of the test compound dissolved or suspended in an organic solvent or water and applied in acetone or water as a carrier was thoroughly mixed with this cover soil, and the herbicide/soil mixture was used as a cover layer for the previously prepared pan. In Table A below the amounts of active ingredient were all equivalent to an application rate of 11.2 kilograms/hectare (kg/ha). After treatment, the pans were moved to a greenhouse bench where they were watered as needed to give adequate moisture for germination and growth.
Approximately 10-14 days (usually 11 days) after planting and treating, the plants were observed and the results recorded.
The plant species usually regarded as weeds which were utilized in one set of pre-emergent activity tests, the data for which are shown in Table A, are identified by letter headings printed diagonally above the columns according to the following legend:

In another set of tests, the pre-emergence activity of compounds of this invention was tested on weeds in the presence of crop plants. In these tests the following procedure was used:
Topsoil was sieved to pass through a 1.27 cm screen. Fertilizer was added to the topsoil in some of the tests, while in testing other compounds the fertilizer was omitted. The mixture was then sterilized by exposure to methyl bromide or by heating.
The topsoil mixture was placed in individual aluminum pans and compacted to a depth of about 1.27 cm. from the top of the pan. A predetermined number of seeds of each of several monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant species and, where noted, vegetative propagules of various perennial plant species were slanted in the pans. The soil required to level fill a pan after seeding or adding vegetative propagules was weighed into another pan. A known amount of the test compound was dissolved or suspended in acetone or a suitable organic solvent as a 1% solution or suspension and applied to the cover soil using a sprayer at the desired rate. The spray was thoroughly mixed with this cover soil, and the herbicide/soil mixture was used as a cover layer for the previously prepared pan. Untreated soil was used as a cover layer for control pans. In Table B below the amount of active ingredient applied is shown. After treatment, the pans were moved to a greenhouse bench. Moisture was supplied to each pan as needed for germination and growth. Growth of each species was observed and corrective measures (greenhouse fumigation, insecticide treatment, and the like) were applied as needed. Approximately 10-14 days (usually 11 days) after planting and treating, the plants were observed and the results recorded.
The pre-emergence data for weeds in the presence of crop plants are shown in the following Table B. In these tests, the plants are identified according to the following column headings.

Post-Emergent Herbicide Activity on Plants
Although, as has been stated above, the compounds of this invention exhibit predominantly pre-emergence activity in greenhouse testing, nevertheless many of these compounds are active post-emergent herbicides. The post-emergent activity is best seen on younger plants treated at the 11/2 to 2 leaf stage. In the tests which follow, larger and more developed plants were used.
The post-emergence herbicidal activity of compounds of this invention was demonstrated by greenhouse testing, and the results are shown in the following Table C. The post-emergent herbicidal activity index used in Table C is as follows:
______________________________________Plant Response Index______________________________________ 0-24% inhibition 025-49% inhibition 150-74% inhibition 275-99% inhibition 3100% inhibition 4Species not planted -- or a blankSpecies planted, no data N______________________________________
Top soil was placed in pans having holes in the bottom and compacted to a depth of 0.95 to 1.27 cm. from the top of the pan. A predetermined number of seeds of each of several dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous annual plant species and/or vegetative propagules for the perennial plant species were placed on the soil and pressed into the soil surface. The seeds and/or vegetative propagules were covered with soil and leveled. The pans were then placed on a bench in the greenhouse and watered as needed for germination and growth. After the plants reached the desired age (two to three weeks), each pan (except the control pans) was moved to a spraying chamber and sprayed by means of an atomizer. The spray solution or suspension contained about 0.4% by volume of an emulsifying agent and a sufficient amount of the candidate chemical to give an application rate of the active ingredient of 11.2 kg/ha while applying a total amount of solution or suspension equivalent to 1870 L/ha. The pans were returned to the greenhouse and watered as before and the injury to the plants as compared to those in control pans was observed at approximately 10-14 days (usually 11 days). the plant identifying codes in Table C are the same as above defined.

Compounds of this invention were also tested for herbicidal activity on weed plants in the presence of crop plants according to the following procedure:
Topsoil (silt loam) is sieved through a screen having 1.27 cm openings. In some of the tests the soil was mixed with fertilizer (1225 g/cu. m of 12/5/9 containing isobutylidene diurea), while in other tests the fertilizer was omitted. This mixture is steam sterilized and then placed in aluminum pans 6.985 cm deep having ten holes in the bottom each 0.635 cm in diameter. The soil mixture is compacted to a depth of 1.27 cm. from the top of the pan. A predetermined number of seeds of each of several dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous annual plant species and/or vegetative propagules for the perennial plant species are placed on the soil and pressed into the soil surface. The seeds and/or vegetative propagules are covered with 1.27 cm of a mixture of 50% topsoil and 50% of a mixture of Canadian sphagnum peat moss, vermiculite and a wetting agent. The pans are then placed on a capillary mat on a greenhouse bench and subirrigated as needed. After the plants reach the desired stage (9 to 14 days, 1 to 3 true leaf stage), each pan (except the control pans) is removed to a spraying chamber and sprayed by means of an atomizer, operating at a spray pressure of 170.3 kPa (10 psig) at the application rates noted in Table D. In the spray solution is an amount of an emulsifying agent mixture (35% butylamine salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and 65% tall oil condensed with ethylene oxide in the ratio of 11 mol of ethylene oxide/mol of tall oil) to give a spray solution or suspension. The spray solution or suspension contains a sufficient amount of the candidate chemical in order to give application rates of the active ingredient corresponding to those shown in Table D below while applying a total amount of solution or suspension equivalent to 1870 L/Ha (200 gallons/acre). The pans are returned to the greenhouse and watered as before and the injury to the plants as compared to the control pans is observed at approximately 10-14 days (usually 11 days).

As can be seen from the data above, some of the compounds appear to be quite safe on certain crops and may be useful for selective control of weeds in these crops.
The herbicidal compositions of this invention, including concentrates which require dilution prior to application, may contain at least one active ingredient and an adjuvant in liquid or solid form. The compositions are prepared by admixing the active ingredient with an adjuvant including diluents, extenders, carriers, and conditioning agents to provide compositions in the form of finely divided particulate solids, granules, pellets, solutions, dispersions or emulsions. Thus, it is believed that the active ingredient could be used with an adjuvant such as a finely-divided solid, a liquid of organic origin, water, a wetting agent, a dispersing agent, an emulsifying agent or any suitable combination of these.
Suitable wetting agents are believed to include alkyl benzene and alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, sulfated fatty alcohols, amines or acid amides, long chain acid esters of sodium isothionate, esters of sodium sulfosuccinate, sulfated or sulfonated fatty acid esters, petroleum sulfonates, sulfonated vegetable oils, ditertiary acetylenic glycols, polyoxyethylene derivatives of alkylphenols (particularly isooctylphenol and nonylphenol) and polyoxyethylene derivatives of the mono-higher fatty acid esters of hexitol anhydrides (e.g., sorbitan). Preferred dispersants are methyl, cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium lignin sulfonates, polymeric alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, sodium naphthalene sulfonate, and polymethylene bisnaphthalene sulfonate.
Wettable powders are water-dispersible compositions containing one or more active ingredients, an inert solid extender and one or more wetting an d dispersing agents. The inert solid extenders are usually of mineral origin such as the natural clays, diatomaceous earth and synthetic minerals derived from silica and the like. Examples of such extenders include kaolinites, attapulgite clay and synthetic magnesium silicate. The wettable powders compositions of this invention usually contain from about 0.5 to 60 parts (preferably from 5-20 parts) of active ingredient, from about 0.25 to 25 parts (preferably 1-15 parts) of wetting agent, from about 0.25 to 25 parts (preferably 1.0-15 parts) of dispersant and from 5 to about 95 parts (preferably 5-50 parts) of inert solid extender, all parts being by weight of the total composition. Where required, from about 0.1 to 2.0 parts of the solid inert extender can be replaced by a corrosion inhibitor or anti-foaming agent or both.
Other formulations include dust concentrates comprising from 0.1 to 60% by weight of the active ingredient on a suitable extender; these dusts may be diluted for application at concentrations within the range of from about 0.1-10% by weight.
Aqueous suspensions or emulsions may be prepared by stirring a nonaqueous solution of a water-insoluble active ingredient and an emulsification agent with water until uniform and then homogenizing to give stable emulsion of very finely-divided particles. The resulting concentrated aqueous suspension is characterized by its extremely small particle size, so that when diluted and sprayed, coverage is very uniform. Suitable concentrations of these formulations contain from about 0.1-60% preferably 5-50% by weight of active ingredient, the upper limit being determined by the solubility limit of active ingredient in the solvent.
Concentrates are usually solutions of active ingredient in water-immiscible or partially water-immiscible solvents together with a surface active agent. Suitable solvents for the active ingredient of this invention include N,-N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methyl-pyrrolidone, hydrocarbons, and water-immiscible ethers, esters, or ketones. However, other high strength liquid concentrates may be formulated by dissolving the active ingredient in a solvent then diluting, e.g., with kerosene, to spray concentration.
The concentrate compositions herein generally contain from about 0.1 to 95 parts (preferably 5-60 parts) active ingredient, about 0.25 to 50 parts (preferably 1-25 parts) surface active agent and where required about 4 to 94 parts solvent, all parts being by weight based on the total weight of emulsifiable oil.
Granules are physically stable particulate compositions comprising at least one active ingredient adhered to or distributed through a basic matrix of an inert, finely-divided particulate extender. In order to aid leaching of the active ingredient from the particulate, a surface active agent such as those listed hereinbefore can be present in the composition. Natural clays, pyrophyllites, illite, and vermiculite are examples of operable classes of particulate mineral extenders. The preferred extenders are the porous, absorptive, preformed particles such as preformed and screened particulate attapulgite or heat expanded, particulate vermiculite and the finely-divided clays such as kaolin clays, hydrated attapulgite or bentonitic clays. these extenders are sprayed or blended with the active ingredient to form the herbicidal granules.
The granular compositions of this invention may contain from about 0.1 to about 30 parts by weight of active ingredient per 100 parts by weight of clay and 0 to about 5 parts by weight of surface active agent per 100 parts by weight of particulate clay.
The compositions of this invention can also contain other additaments, for example, fertilizers, other herbicides, other pesticides, safeners and the like used as adjuvants or in combination with any of the above-described adjuvants. Chemicals useful in combination with the active ingredients of this invention included, for example, triazines, ureas, carbamates, acetamides, acetanilides, uracils, acetic acid or phenol derivatives, thiolcarbamates, triazoles, benzoic acids, nitriles, biphenyl ethers and the like, such as:

Fertilizers useful in combination with the active ingredients include, for example ammonium nitrate, urea, potash and superphosphate. Other useful additaments include materials in which plant organisms take root and grow such as compost, manure, humus, sand and the like.
Herbicidal formulations of the types described above are exemplified in several illustrative embodiments below. When operating in accordance with the present invention, effective amounts of the compounds of this invention are applied to the soil containing the seeds, or vegetative propagules or may be incorporated into soil media in any convenient fashion. The application of liquid and particulate solid compositions to the soil can be carried out by conventional methods, e.g., power dusters, boom and hand sprayers and spray dusters. The compositions can also be applied from airplanes as a dust or a spray because of their effectiveness at low dosages.
The exact amount of active ingredient to be employed is dependent upon various factors, including the plant species and stage of development thereof, the type and condition of soil, the amount of rainfall and the specific compounds employed. In selective preemergence application or to the soil, a dosage of from about 0.02 to about 11.2 kg/ha, preferably from about 0.1 to about 5,60 kg/ha, is usually employed. Lower or higher rates may be required in some instances. One skilled in the art can readily determine from this specification, including the above examples, the optimum rate to be applied in any particular case.
The term "soil" is employed in its broadest sense to be inclusive of all conventional "soils" as defined in Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged (1961). Thus, the term refers to any substance or medium in which vegetation may take root and grow, and includes not only earth but also compost, manure, muck, humus, sand, and the like, adapted to support plant growth.
While the illustrative embodiments of the invention have been described with particularity, it will be understood that various other modifications will be apparent to and can be readily made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the claims appended hereto be limited to the examples and descriptions set forth hereinabove but rather that the claims be construed as encompassing all the features of patentable novelty which reside in the present invention, including all features which would be treated as equivalents thereof by those skills in the art to which the invention pertains.
