Dihydropyridazinones, pyridazinones and related compounds as fungicides

This invention relates to substituted dihydropyridazinones, pyridazinones and related compounds, compositions containing these compounds and a method of controlling fungi by the use of a fungitoxic amount of these compounds.
Although many different types of compounds are known for use as fungicides, and, in particular, for use as agricultural fungicides, there is a continuous demand for new agricultural fungicides. In particular, there is a continuous demand for agricultural fungicides which are active against fungal diseases of rice. Accordingly, this invention relates to the use of a class of pyridazinones and dihydropyridazinones and related compounds in the control of agricultural fungal diseases, particularly in rice.
Further, although different types of compounds are known for use as human fungicides, there remains a need for additional non-toxic, pathogenically selective compounds useful to control fungal diseases in humans. Accordingly, this invention also relates to the use of the compounds of the invention to control fungal diseases in humans.

Certain compounds which are useful in the method of the instant invention are known and commercially available. However, they have not previously been disclosed to be active against Pyricularia oryzae and thus they have not been disclosed to be active in the method of the instant invention. These compounds include compounds 1-5 listed in Table I below.
The dihydropyridazinones compounds of the instant invention are prepared, for example, by a two-step sequence starting from an arylketo acid or ester of the formula ##STR8## wherein Q is as defined in Formula I above and R.sup.a is hydrogen or alkyl. Compound II is reacted with about an equivalent of hydrazine or a substituted hydrazine having the formula
H.sub.2 NNHR.sup.b III
wherein R.sup.b is hydrogen to yield a compound having the formula ##STR9##
Examples of suitable solvents for this reaction include alcohols, such as ethanol, n-propanol or n-butanol. The reaction is generally carried out at about atmospheric pressure at a temperature of from about -10.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C. Preferably, the temperature employed is in the range of from about 25.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C., more preferably from about 50.degree. C. to about 125.degree. C.
The compound of Formula IV wherein R.sup.b is hydrogen is then alkylated using the appropriate alkylating agent, for example an alkynyl mesylate or alkynyl halide, by a standard N-alkylation procedure, for example, using sodium hydride in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) or by using a phase transfer catalyst such as tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate to obtain the desired dihydropyridazinone (formula IV wherein R.sup.b is not hydrogen) of the instant invention. The reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of from about -10.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C. More preferably, the reaction is carried out at a temperature of from about 20.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C.
The dihydropyridazinone of Formula IV wherein R.sup.b is hydrogen can be converted to the corresponding pyridazinone of the invention, for example, by bromine oxidation. The reaction is generally carried out in an organic acid solvent such as acetic acid at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. More preferably, the temperature ranges from about 20.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C., more particularly from about 50.degree. C. to about 75.degree. C.
The starting arylketoacids can be obtained from commercial sources or prepared by procedures known in the literature such as 1) Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic compounds with succinic anhydride, 2) a malonic ester condensation (the preparation of bis-(di-t-butyl-carboxy)ethylcarboxyethane from di-t-butylmalonate, acylation with an aromatic acyl chloride and decarboxylation of the ketotriester) or 3) a Claisen condensation.
Typically, the alkynyl mesylates and alkynyl halides used in the alkylation step of the procedure are prepared by means known in the art, for example:
a) from commercially available alcohols ##STR10##
b) from commercially available alkynes ##STR11##
c) from propargyl chloride ##STR12## wherein R.sup.7 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, etc. and R is, for example, alkyl.
Additionally, the alkynyl group can be modified after the alkylation step has taken place, for example by treatment with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST), acetic anhydride, alcohol/hydrogen chloride to acid fluorine, acetyl or an alkoxy group to the carbon alpha to the alkynyl or treatment with a haloalkene in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride, copper(I) iodide and triethylamine to acid an alkenyl group to the alpha carbon of the alkyne: ##STR13##
The pyridinones are prepared, for example, by cyclization of 2-aryldialkylamino propenals (V) and a cyanoacetamide (VI) in the presence of base to yield the corresponding 3-cyano-5-aryl-pyridinone (VII) ##STR14## which is then hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to yield the pyridinone (VIII). ##STR15## The pyridinone is alkylated as described above for the dihydropyridazinones to yield compounds of the invention.
Examples of suitable solvents for the cyclization reaction include alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol. Examples of suitable bases include sodium methoxide and sodium ethoxide. The reaction is generally carried out at about atmospheric pressure at a temperature of from about 25.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C. Preferably, the temperature employed is in the range of from about 50.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C., more preferably from about 100.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C.
The hydrolysis and decarboxylation step is typically carried out in a strong acid such as 85% H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 or concentrated sulfuric acid at atmospheric pressure at temperatures between 50.degree. and 200.degree. C., preferably between 100.degree.-150.degree. C.
The starting pyrimidinones (IX) of the invention can be made by ##STR16## cyclizing 2-aryl dialkylamino propenals (V) with urea in the presence of acid. Preferred acids are mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid. Preferred solvents are polar solvents, for example alcohols such as ethanol. The reaction is preferably carried out at atmospheric pressure at a temperature between 20.degree. and 200.degree. C., more preferably between 50.degree. and 150.degree. C. The alkylation is then carried out as described above for the dihydropyridazinones.
The starting oxadiazin-2-ones (X) of the invention can be prepared ##STR17## by reacting an .alpha.-hydroxy acetophenone (XI) with ethyl carbazate (XII) in ##STR18## a polar solvent, for example, an alcohol such as ethanol preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., more preferably between 15.degree. and 70.degree. C. to obtain compound XIII which is then cyclized in a polar solvent, for example, an alcohol such as ethanol, in the presence of base such as sodium hydride to yield the oxadiazin-2-one (X). Alkylation as described above for the dihydropyridazinones yields compounds of the instant invention.
The starting oxadiazin-5-ones (XIV) can be prepared by reacting a ##STR19## substituted benzoic hydrazide (XV) with a haloacetyl chloride (XVI) in ##STR20## an aprotic solvent such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, glyme or other poylether, preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., more preferably between 50.degree. and 100.degree. C. to obtain compound XVII which is subsequently cyclized in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide to yield the oxadiazin-5-one (XIV). Alkylation as described above for the dihydropyridazinones yields compounds of the instant invention.
The starting thiadiazin-2-ones (XVIII) can be prepared by reacting a ##STR21## phenacyl halide (XIX), preferably a phenacyl bromide, with an alkoxythiocarbonyl hydrazine (XX) such as methyl thiocarbazate in a ##STR22## polar solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or an alcohol, more preferably acetonitrile, preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., more preferably between 50.degree. and 100.degree. C. to obtain compound XVIII. Alkylation as described above for the dihydropyridazinones yields compounds of the instant invention.
The starting indenopyridazinones (XXI), wherein R.sup.8 is hydrogen or ##STR23## (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl, can be prepared by carboxymethylating the appropriate indanone (XXII) using an agent such as dimethylcarbonate in the presence of base such as sodium hydride and an aprotic solvent such as dimethoxyethane, followed by alkylation with an agent such as ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of base such as sodium hydride and an aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide to obtain the diester (XXIII). ##STR24## The diester is subsequently decarboxylated and hydrolyzed using standard procedures, preferably heating in a aqueous acid solution, more preferably, refluxing in aqueous hydrochloric acid to obtain the corresponding ketoacid (XXIV) which is cyclized and alkylated as described above ##STR25## for the dihydropyridazinones to yield compounds of the instant invention.

The compounds of the present invention have fungitoxic activity, particularly against phytopathogenic fungi. They are active against fungi of a number of classes including Deuteromycetes (Fungi Imperfecti), Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes. More particularly, the method of this invention provides for activity against organisms including Pyricularia oryzae, Pyrenophora trichostoraa, Fusarium species, Erysiphe graminis, Puccinia recondita, alsa leucostoma, Colletotrichum lagenarium, Nectria galligena, Cochliobolus miyabeanus, Thanatephorus cucumeris, Pseudocercosperella herpotrichioides, Helminthosporium species, Monilinia fructicola, Sclerotium rolfsii, Venturia inequalis, Botryotinia fuckeliana, Diaporthe citri, Rhizopus stolonifer, Verticillium albo-atrum, Phytophthora capsici, Alternaria solani, Ustilago maydis, Pythium ultimum, Leptosphaeria nodorum, Schlerotinia species, Sphaerotheca fuliginea, Gymnosporangium asiaticum, Alternaria alternata, Uncinula necator, and Podosphaera leucotricha. More particularly, rice diseases are controlled by the method of the invention. Examples of such rice diseases are seedborne diseases such as those incited by Cochliobolus miyabeanus and Pyricularia oryzae, soilborne diseases such as Fusarium species, Rhizoctonia species, and Rhizopus species, and seedling box and field diseases such as those incited by Pyricularia oryzae, Thanatephorus cucumeris and Cochliobolus miyabeanus. Additional diseases include powdery mildew incited by Sphaerotheca fulignea (e.g., cucurbit powdery mildew), Uncinula necator (e.g., grape powdery mildew), and Podosphaera leucotricha (e.g., apple powdery mildew).
The compounds of the invention also control wood decay fungi such as Gleophyllum trabeum, Phialophora mutabilis, Poria palcenta and Trametes versicolor. Accordingly, the present invention also encompasses the use of the compounds as wood preservatives.
The compounds of the invention can be applied as fungicidal sprays by methods commonly employed, such as conventional high-gallonage hydraulic sprays, low-gallonage sprays, air-blast, aerial sprays and dusts. Such use conveniently permits treatment of fungal infestations in crops such as vegatables, fruits, ornamentals, seeds, turf, cereal and vines among other plants. The dilution and rate of application will depend upon the type of equipment employed, the method and frequency of application desired and diseases to be controlled, but the effective amount is usually from about 0.01 kilogram (kg) to about 20 kg, of active ingredient (a.i.) per hectare. As a foliar fungicide, the pyridazinone is usually applied to growing plants at a rate of about 0.1 to about 5 and preferably from about 0.125 to about 0.5 kg per hectare.
As a seed protectant, the amount of toxicant coated on the seed is usually at a dosage rate of about 10 to about 250 grams (g) and preferably from about 20 to about 60 g per 50 kilograms of seed. As a soil fungicide, the chemical can be incorporated in the soil or applied to the surface usually at a rate of 0.5 to about 20 kg and preferably about 1 to about 5 kg per hectare.
The compounds of the present invention are useful for the control of fungi and can be utilized at various loci such as the seed, the water surface, the soil or the foliage. For such purposes, these compounds can be used in the technical or pure form as prepared, as solutions or as formulations. The compounds are usually taken up in a carrier or are formulated so as to render them suitable for subsequent use as fungicides. For example, these chemical agents can be formulated as wettable powders, dry powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dusts, granular formulations, aerosols, or flowable emulsion concentrates. In such formulations, the compounds are extended with a liquid or solid carrier and when desired suitable surfactants are incorporated.
It is usually desirable, particularly in the case of foliar spray formulations, to include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, spreading agents, dispersing agents, stickers, adhesive and the like in accordance with agricultural practices. Such adjuvants commonly used in the art can be found in McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents, McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents/Functional Materials and McCutcheon's Functional Materials all published annually by McCutcheon Division of MC Publishing Company (New Jersey).
In general, the compounds utilized in this invention can be dissolved in appropriate solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide and such solutions extended with water. The concentrations of the solution can vary from 1% to 90% with a preferred range being 5 to 50%.
For the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates, the compounds of the invention can be dissolved in suitable organic solvents or a mixture of solvents, together with an emulsifying agent which permits dispersion of the fungicide in water. The concentration of the active ingredient in emulsifiable concentrates is usually 10% to 90% and in flowable emulsion concentrates; this can be as high as 75%.
Wettable powders suitable for spraying can be prepared by admixing the compound with finely divided solid, such as days, inorganic silicates and carbonates, and silicas and incorporating wetting agents, sticking agents, and/or dispersing agents in such mixtures. The concentration of active ingredients in such formulations is usually in the range of 20% to 98%, preferably 40% to 75%. A typical wettable powder is made by blending 50 parts of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2'-pentynyl)-4,5-dihydropyridazinone, 45 parts of a synthetic precipitated hydrated silicon dioxide sold under the trademark Hi-Sil.RTM. and 5 parts of sodium lignosulfonate (Marasperse.RTM. N-22). In another preparation of a Kaolin type, (Barden) day is used in place of the Hi-Sil in the above-wettable powder and in another such preparation 25% of the Hi-Sil is replaced with a synthetic sodium silicoaluminate sold under the trademark Zeolex.RTM. 7.
Dusts are prepared by mixing the compounds of the invention with finely divided inert solids which can be organic or inorganic in nature. Materials useful for this purpose include botanical flours, silicas, silicates, carbonates and days. One convenient method for preparing a dust is to dilute a wettable powder with a finely divided carrier. Dust concentrates containing 20% to 80% of the active ingredient are commonly made and are subsequently diluted to 1% to 10% use concentration.
The compounds of the present invention may be utilized in combination with other fungicides such as:

I. In Vitro Tests--Fungitoxicity Assay
Compounds were assayed for activity by the broth-dilution (BD) method or the agar-dilution (AD) method. In the agar-dilution method, potato dextrose agar was amended with a solution of the test compounds, solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide or similar solvent at the concentration indicated in Table VI, then inoculated with a 6 mm plug of fungal mycelium. The radial growth was measured for each sample, and corrected for inoculum size. The percent growth inhibition is equal to the radial growth of the control sample (A) minus the radial growth of the treated sample (B) divided by the radial growth of the control sample (A) times 100 as seen by the following equation. ##EQU1##
In the broth-dilution method, test compounds dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide were added at the concentration indicated in Table VI to YD broth (2% dextrose, 0.4% yeast extract) and incubated with fungal inoculum for 48 hours at 28.degree. C. in an environmental shaker, at 200 rpm. Growth inhibition was determined by dry weight measurement according to the following formula: ##EQU2##

II. In Vivo Tests
Compounds were tested at 200 ppm as a twenty-four hour preapplication protectant test prior to inoculation.
a) Rice Blast (RB) Pyricularia Oryzae
Two week old M201 rice plants were inoculated with 250,000 spores per pot of Magnaporthe grisea (Pyricularia oryzae) by spraying the leaves and stems with an atomizer. The inoculated plants were incubated in a mist cabinet at 80.degree. F. for 48 hours, then placed in a greenhouse environment (70.degree.-80.degree. F.). Six days after inoculation the plants were evaluated for percent disease control compared to check plants with the aid of standard area disease diagrams.
b) Rice Sheath Blight (RSB)
Thanatephorus cucumeris (Rhizoctonia solani) mycelia were grown for six days in potato dextrose broth in shake culture. Drained mycelial mats were blended with an approximately equal weight of rice flour and five parts water. This slurry was dispensed onto the soil surface of pots containing rice seedlings previously treated with experimental compounds. The plants were placed in a mist chamber at 25.degree.-28.degree. C. for 48 hours. Following two more days at 25.degree. C. and 70-90% relative humidity the plants were evaluated for percent disease control compared to check plants.

The compounds of the invention are also active against Candida albicans. Accordingly, the compounds of this invention can be used to control Candida albicans and dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton species, for example in humans by application in a known pharmaceutically acceptable carrier by means known to one skilled in the art.
The activity against Candida albicans was determined using the following test protocol.
1. Inoculum preparation
Conidia and mycelium from the Candida albicans culture maintained on potato dextrose agar plates were lightly scraped off into yeast extract-dextrose broth (YDB) so that mostly conidia was used as inoculum. The conidial suspension was strained through a double layer of cheesecloth to remove mycelial clumps. The inoculum mixture was placed in microtiter plates using a 12-tipped piper. 175 microliters were placed in each well of the microtiter plates and the plates were placed in the refrigerator overnight. There were two replications.
2. Addition of the compounds
The compounds to be tested were dissolved in 1:1 acetone:methanol and 100 ppm of the compound solution were placed in a well of the prepared microtiter plates.
3. Incubation and rating
The microtiter plates were incubated for 7 days at room temperature after addition of the compounds. Percent control was visually estimated using a microtiter plate reading mirror. Readings were made at 1, 2, 3, and/or 7 days after treatment.
The results are listed in Table VIII.

It has been found unexpectedly that compositions comprising certain compounds of the present invention in admixture with certain known fungicidal compounds have an enhanced fungicidal activity which is greater than the expected additive sum of the activities of the individual components of the composition. The expected activity, E, for a given combination of active fungicidal components can be calculated in accordance with the Colby formula:
E=X+Y-(*Y/100),
wherein
X=disease control action (in percent) of a first fungicide,
Y=disease control action (in percent) of a second fungicide, and
E=expected action of the first and second fungicide in admixture. �See Colby, L. R., "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations", Weeds, 15. pp. 20-22 (1967) and Limpel et al., "Weeds control by . . . certain combinations", Proc. NEWCL, 16, pp. 48-53 (1962).!
The ratio of the fungicidal components of the composition having this enhanced property can vary over a range of ratios dependent upon the particular components and conditions of use. In general, such a composition will comprise at least a sufficient amount of each component in an effective ratio to produce compositional fungicidal activity greater than the expected additive sum of the activities of the individual components of the composition. Preferably, the observed, actual fungicidal activity is at least about one-half percent (0.5%) greater than, more preferably at least about five percent (5%) greater than the expected additive sum of the activities of the individual components of the composition. When properly measured, there is an observed E value greater than, preferably significantly greater than, the expected Colby formula-calculated E value, i.e.--(Actual E/Expected E) greater than 1; preferably (Actual E/Expected E) greater than 1.005; and more preferably (Actual E/Expected E) greater than 1.05.

The methods of use of the compositions of the present invention having enhanced activity include those methods described above for the fungicides when used alone. Benefits can be obtained from the use of these compositions having enhanced activity since lesser amounts of the fungicides can be utilized for particular applications as compared to the use of the individual compound alone or greater spectrum and length of activity at the same or lesser concentrations than those combinations of fungicides which do not have enhanced activities.
The following experiments are illustrative of the compositions having enhanced activity and activities of the present invention described above, but are not intended to be limitations on the scope of these combinations:
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The experiments below were performed using the relevant following procedures.
Experimental compounds and commercial fungicides were tank mixed and mechanically sprayed at varying concentrations in a 1:1:2 mixture of acetone, methanol and water. Protective or preventive sprays were applied one day before spore inoculation. Curative or post-infection sprays were applied one day after spore inoculation. The spraying system utilized delivered a 200 ppm dose at the rate of 1458 liters per hectare. The following details were applicable for the specified diseases:
Rice Blast Pyricularia Experiments.
M-201 rice plants were inoculated with Pyricularia oryzae conidia. The spore concentration was 300,000 to 500,000 conidia per milliliter in water. An atomizer was used to apply twenty milliliters of inoculum to twenty plants per flat. The plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 100% relative humidity for 48 hours and then placed in a greenhouse. Evaluations were made 7-8 days after inoculation.
Wheat Septoria Experiments.
Fielder wheat plants were inoculated with Septoria nodorum conidia. The spore concentration was approximately 3,000,000 conidia per milliliter in water. An atomizer was used to apply twenty milliliters of inoculum to twenty plants per flat. The plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 100% relative humidity for 72 hours and then placed in a greenhouse. Evaluations were made 10 days after inoculation.
Tomato Botrytis Experiments.
Three week-old "Pixie" tomato plants were inoculated with Boytrytis cinerea conidia. The plants were held in dim light for two days prior to inoculation. The spore concentration was 500,000 to 650,000 conidia per milliliter of dextrose solution. An atomizer was used to apply the conidial suspension in a heavy coating to near runoff to both the upper and lower leaf surfaces and to the plant stem. The plants were kept in a continuous mist chamber with a day-night cycle and at 20 degrees centigrade for 5 days.
"Disease control" was recorded as percent control based on a comparison of the unsprayed, inoculated controls and the treated, inoculated plants. The rates of application are indicated in the Tables.
