Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing pyrazole compound and production method therefor.


BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, fluorine-containing pyrazole compounds have been reported to have various biological activities. Among them, a compound having a nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring and a methoxy group at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring is expected to be used in the fields of medicine and agrochemicals. Specifically, for a compound having a 3-heteroarylamino-5-methoxy-pyrazole structure, Non Patent Literature 1 reports that it has an inhibitory activity of Janus kinases JAK2 and JAK3, and Non Patent Literature 2 reports that it has an inhibitory activity of tropomyosin receptor kinase A. Moreover, Patent Literature 1 has reported a production method of a compound having a nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring, a trifluoromethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring, and a hydroxyl group at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring.


From the above viewpoints, with an expectation of further improvement in activity, a compound having a halogen atom, an oxygen-containing substituent, or nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring, a trifluoromethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring, and an oxygen-containing substituent at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring has been attracting interest in development thereof.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

For a compound having a halogen atom, an oxygen-containing substituent, or a nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring and an oxygen-containing substituent at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring, no reaction examples introducing a trifluoromethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring have been reported so far. This is because an introduction step of the trifluoromethyl group raises a problem of controlling reactivity and reaction selectivity of a substrate. As reported in Patent Literature 1, on the other hand, reaction of a compound having a nitrogen-containing substituent on the 3-position of a pyrazole ring, a trifluoromethyl group on the 4-position of the pyrazole ring, and a hydroxyl group on the 5-position of the pyrazole ring with a methylation agent is considered to convert a substituent on the 5-position of the pyrazole ring to a methoxy group. In such a reaction, a methyl group is expected to be introduced at either the 1-position or 2-position of the pyrazole ring, and there has been room for further improvement in terms of reaction efficiency, such as selectivity.


Therefore, the present inventors have discovered that the reaction with a specific raw material enables synthesis of a pyrazole compound having a halogen atom, an oxygen-containing substituent, or a nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring, a trifluoromethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring, and an oxygen-containing substituent at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring, and thus have completed the present invention. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel fluorine-containing pyrazole compound having a halogen atom, an oxygen-containing substituent, or a nitrogen-containing substituent at the 3-position of a pyrazole ring, a trifluoromethyl group at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring, and an oxygen-containing substituent at the 5-position of the pyrazole ring, which has not been known conventionally, and a production method capable of easily producing the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound.

    • wherein in formula (1) above, R represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms,

The fluorine-containing pyrazole compound of the present invention has specific substituents (—X, —CF3, —OR) on the 3-position, 4-position, and 5-position of the pyrazole ring, and thereby it can have an excellent effect from the viewpoint of structural expandability. In particular, desired biological activities (for example, hormone or enzyme inhibitory activity, bactericidal activity, insecticidal activity, and herbicidal activity) can be expected. In particular, examples of the bactericidal activity include the bactericidal activity of bacteria having a harmful effect on agricultural products such as the human body and rice. Moreover, the substituents on the 3- and 5-positions of the pyrazole ring being different groups (—X and —OR) facilitates derivatization into an asymmetric structure by elimination or reaction of these groups, which can be expected to be used as an intermediate. More specifically, a fluorine-containing pyrazole compound being reacted under acidic conditions to modify —OR enables to form a derivative.

The fluoroisobutane derivative represented by the general formula (6) above is preferably reacted with the compound represented by the general formula (3) above or a salt thereof and the compound represented by the general formula (5) above in the presence of a fluoride ion scavenger. The fluoride ion scavenger is not particularly limited as long as it is a substance having a function of capturing fluorine ions, and examples thereof can include the same fluoride ion scavenger as the fluoride ion scavenger used in (c) above. It is conceivable that a cation derived from the fluoride ion scavenger captures a fluorine ion free from the fluoroisobutane derivative represented by the general formula (6) during reaction, allowing a salt having low solubility to precipitate in an organic solvent to promote a reaction, and enabling to obtain the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound represented by the general formula (1) above in a high yield.

The form of salt can include a form of the amino moiety (—NH2) constituting the amidino group of the compound of the general formula (3), being cationized to (—NH3+) to form a salt with the counterion. The counterion is not particularly limited as long as it is a monovalent anion, and includes, for example, halide ions such as F—, Cl—, Br—, and I—.

Moreover, A1 and A2 included in —NA1A2 that is the group X, each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. When A1 and A2 represent an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, A1 and A2 may have an atom other than a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom, and A1 and A2 can be, for example, hydrocarbon groups, heterocyclic groups, or oxygen-containing substituents, which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms in R above, and examples of the hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms include an aromatic hydrocarbon group, an alkyl group, and the like.

A3 and A4 included in —NA3A4 that is Y, each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. When A3 and A4 represent a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, they can be, for example, hydrocarbon groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms in R above.


In the method for producing the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound according to the other embodiment, the reaction of (D) above can be carried out in one step. Therefore, the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound of the general formula (1) above can be easily obtained. Incidentally, the reaction of (d) above forms a cyclic pyrazole structure between the fluoroisobutane derivative of the general formula (6) and the amidino group of the compound of the general formula (3). X derived from the compound represented by the general formula (5), and CF3 and —OR which are derived from the fluoroisobutane derivative, are located, at the 3-position, 4-position, and 5-position of the pyrazole structure, respectively.

Evaluation Test for Rice Blast (500 ppm)


The fluorine-containing pyrazole compounds prepared in Examples 2 and 9 were each dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to obtain a DMSO solution having a concentration of 50,000 ppm. To 3 mL of dissolved PDA medium was added 30 μL of each of the DMSO solution containing the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound prepared in Example 2 or 9 and DMSO, and the mixture obtained was stirred with a pipette, and placed in wells of a 6-well plate to solidify it (the fluorine-containing pyrazole compounds prepared in Examples 2 and 9 were placed in three wells, respectively). Rice blast fungi (Pyricularia oryzae, MAFF101511) grown in a PDA medium were cut out along with the medium using a biopsy punch of a 0.4 cm diameter, and these were each placed in the center of PDA medium containing the fluorine-containing pyrazole compound of Example 2 or 9 in the 6-well plate and allowed to grow at 27° C. The diameter of the fungal filaments was measured after 3 days.


Separately, rice blast fungi were also allowed to grow on three PDA media supplemented with DMSO in the same manner as above except that they were not treated with the fluorine-containing pyrazole compounds of Examples 2 and 9, and the diameter of fungal filaments was measured after 3 days. The average value of the three elongation lengths of fungal filaments thus obtained was defined as an “average of elongation lengths of fungal filaments without treatment.”


A inhibition rate (%) of an elongation length of fungal filaments was calculated as follows:
