Haloacetamidines compositions and the herbicidal use thereof

This invention relates to certain novel haloacetamidines which are useful as herbicides. More specifically, this invention relates to a novel herbicidal compound known as acetamidines, more particularly dichloroacetamidines.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Use of Herbicides
An herbicide is a compound which controls or modifies plant growth, e.g., killing, retarding, defoliating, desiccating, regulating, stunting, tillering, stimulating, and dwarfing. "Plant" refers to all physical parts, including seeds, seedlings, saplings, roots, tubers, stems, stalks, foliage, and fruits. "Plant growth" is meant to include all phases of development from seed germination to natural or induced cessation of life.
Herbicides are generally used to control or eradicate weed pests. They have gained a high degree of commercial success because it has been shown that such control increases crop yield and reduces harvesting costs.
Herbicidal effectiveness is dependent upon several variables. One of these is the time or growth related method of application. The most popular methods of application include: pre-plant incorporation into the soil; pre-emergence surface treatment of seeded soil; and post-emergence treatment of the plant and soil.
The most important determinant of herbicidal effectiveness is the susceptibility of the target weed. Certain herbicidal compounds are phytotoxic to some weed species but not to others.
The manufacturer of the herbicide recommends a range of rates and concentrations calculated to maximize weed control. The range of rates varies from approximately 0.01 to 50 pounds per acre, usually from 0.1 to 25 pounds per acre. The actual amount used depends upon several considerations including particular weed susceptibility and overall cost limitations.
PRIOR ART
U.S. Pat. No. 3,153,670 relates primarily to vinyl amines. A utility disclosed for the vinyl amines is the preparation of amidines from primary amines. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,153,670 the following specific compounds are disclosed: N,N-diethyl-N'-phenyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine, N,N-diethyl-N'-tolyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine, N,N-diethyl-N'-p-chlorophenyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine, N,N-diethyl-N'-p-nitrophenyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine, and N,N-diethyl-N'-p-ethoxyphenyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine. U.S. Pat. No. 3,153,670 generically discloses herbicidal utility for the above compounds. No specific testing or method of testing for herbicidal activity is set forth in the cited patent.
The J. Am. Chem. Soc. 82 902-9 (1960) discloses the compound N,N-diethyl-N'-phenyl 2,2-dichloroacetamidine.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,576,618 discloses certain N-trichloroacetamidines having the formula ##STR2## These compounds are useful as herbicides. The form taken by the compounds are the aryl amino form, thereby allowing only one substituent on the aryl amino nitrogen and always a hydrogen on the amino nitrogen with the phenyl moiety. These are commonly known as "reverse" acetamidines.
Similarly, West German Offenlegungschrift No. 2557651 relates to N-aryl-2,2-dihalo-acetamidine derivatives of the general formula ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and are defined as a hydrogen, halogen atom, aliphatic moiety or R.sup.4 --O-- wherein R.sup.4 is aliphatic or aromatic moiety and X is a halogen atom. These acetamidines are termed "reverse" acetamidines because of the tautomeric system within the molecule. The utility is disclosed as fungicidal.
The following are a group of patents which relate to acetamidines in which the two (2) position is substituted with a non-halogenated methyl group: U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,284,289, 3,487,156, 3,781,356, 3,781,357, 3,803,134 and 3,867,448.
The compounds disclosed in the above-cited U.S. patents are taught to be useful for the control of acarids and insects, combating undesired plant growth, harmful micro-organisms, nematodes.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,428,861 relates to N-halotrichloroacetamidines having the general formula ##STR4## wherein X is chlorine, iodine or bromine and each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl and heterocyclic. These compounds are disclosed as useful as bleaches and disinfectants, effective as fungicidal, herbicidal and algaecidal agents.
It is recognized the amidine compounds have the potential of existing in two geometrical isomeric forms, known as tautomers, in the aryl imino form [ArN.dbd.C(NHR)] and the aryl amino form [ArNHC(.dbd.NR)R.sup.1 ]. Many compounds containing an "amidine moiety" possess potential for tautomerism, geometrical isomerism and conformational change. The "amidine moiety" refers to compounds containing the potentially tautomeric system --NH--C(X).dbd.N-- in which X is C, N, O or S as described by Jackman, L. M. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 97 (10) 2811-18. In the present application the predominant tautomer is presumed to be in the imino form and the representation of the dichloro acetamidines will be in this form.

As used herein, the term "herbicide" means a compound which controls or modifies the growth of plants, particularly of undesirable plants. By the term "herbicidally effective amount" is meant an amount of a compound which causes a controlling or modifying effect on the growth of treated plants. The term "plants" is meant to include germinant seeds, emerging seedlings and established vegetation including roots and the above ground portions. Such modifying and controlling effects include all deviations from natural development, for example, killing, retardation, defoliation, desiccation, regulation, stunting, tillering, stimulation, dwarfing and the like.
In general, the compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the following methods:
I. An appropriate substituted aniline (1) is reacted with an acyl chloride (2) to produce the corresponding substituted anilide (3). The anilide is chlorinated with phosphorus chloride to prepare the substituted phenyl containing imidoyl chloride (4). A subsequent reaction with a secondary amine (4a) produces a substituted acetamidine (5) of the present invention. This sequence of reactions is depicted by the following equations: ##STR6## wherein A, B, M, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, X, Y and Z have the same significance as previously defined.
Reaction Scheme I
II. An alternative reaction scheme is the reaction of an acylchloride (6) with a primary amine (7) to produce the corresponding amide (8). This reaction is followed by treatment of the amide (8) with phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride as a solvent to produce the imidoyl chloride (9). The imidoyl chloride is reacted with a substituted aniline to produce the substituted acetamidine (11a) or (11b) of the present invention. This sequence of reactions is depicted by the following equations: ##STR7## wherein A, B, M, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, X, Y and Z have the same significance as previously defined.
Reaction Scheme II
In reaction schemes I and II, some of the individual reactions are performed in the presence of an organic solvent, such as acetone, methylene chloride and the like, where good chemical practice dictates. The reaction temperatures can vary from -20.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. In many instances the reaction was exothermic. The reaction pressure may be atmospheric, subatmospheric or superatmospheric. However, for convenience of conducting the reactions, the pressure is generally atmospheric. The reaction time will, of course, vary depending upon the reactants and reaction temperature. Generally, the reaction time is from 0.25 to 24 hours, depending upon the steps and rate of reaction. After the reaction is complete, the product is recovered by separation from the by-products and the solvent removed as by evaporation, or distillation. The structure is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance or infrared spectra.

In a 100 milliliter flask fitted with thermometer, gas-inlet, and magnetic stirrer was placed 12.0 grams (0.09 mole) of N-isopropyldifluoroacetamide. Argon was flushed through the system and phosphorous tribromide, 27.3 grams (0.09 mole), was added slowly at 10.degree.-15.degree. C. Bromine, 14.0 grams (0.09 mole), was then added slowly at 10.degree.-15.degree. C. with stirring. After all the bromine was added, the mixture was allowed to come to room temperature and was then heated with argon sweep at 85.degree.-90.degree. C. Heating was continued for 2 hours. The mixture was next cooled to 0.degree. C. and filtered free of phosphorous oxybromide. The filtrate was vacuum distilled to yield 4.0 grams, b.p. 34.degree.-38.degree. (50 millimeters identified by infrared spectroscopy as the title compound.
N-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-N-isopropyldifluoroacetamidine
A solution of 3.2 grams (0.02 mole) of 3,5-dichloroaniline in 50 milliliters toluene was heated to reflux (111.degree. C.) and 4.0 grams (0.02 mile) of N-isopropyldifluoroacetimidoyl bromide was added slowly. A vigorous reaction occurred with separation of solid. The mixture was refluxed for 1/2 hour after addition was complete, cooled and filtered to give 6.0 grams of the hydrobromide salt. The solid was slurried in 50 milliliters methylene chloride in a separatory funnel and this mixture was shaken with cold 5% sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was phase-separated and washed with two 50 milliliter portions of water. Evaporation of solvent after drying left 3.9 grams of a liquid, n.sub.D.sup.+ 1.5425, identified by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as the title compound.

HERBICIDE SCREENING TESTS
As previously mentioned, the herein described compounds produced in the above-described manner are phytotoxic compounds which are useful and valuable in controlling various plant species. Compounds of this invention were tested as herbicides in the following manner.
A. Pre-emergence Herbicide Screening Test
Using an analytical balance, 300 milligrams of the compound to be tested is weighed on a piece of glassine weighing paper. The paper and compound are placed in a 2 oz. amber bottle and dissolve in 45 milliliters of acetone. If the material is not soluble in acetone, another solvent such as water, alcohol, or dimethylformamide (DMF) is used. When DMF is used, only 1.5 milliliters o less are used to dissolve the compound and then another solvent is used to bring the volume to 45 milliliters. Twenty milliliters of this solution is transferred to a 80 milliliter wide-mouth amber bottle and diluted with 24.5 milliliters of a water and acetone mixture (10:1) containing 1% Tween 20.RTM. (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate). The solution is sprayed on the seeded flat on a linear spray table calibrated to deliver 80 gallon per acre, the application rate is 2 lb/acre (2.24 kg/hectare).
When applied at 8 lb/acre (8.96 kg/hectare), 20 milligrams of the compound to be tested are weighed onto a glassine weighing paper, placed into a 30 milliliter vial, and dissolved in 3 milliliters acetone containing 1% Tween 20.RTM.. If the material is not soluble in acetone, another solvent such as water, alcohol, or dimethylformamide (DMF) is used. When DMF is used, only 0.5 milliliters or less are used to dissolve the compound and then another solvent is used to bring the volume to 3 milliliters. The solution is atomized onto the seeded flat using a No. 152 DeVilbiss atomizer at a pressure of 5 lb/square inch (0.35 kg/cm.sup.2), and the spray volume was 143 gallons per acre (1338 liter per hectare).
On the day preceeding treatment, a flat is filled with sandy loam soil fortified with 50 ppm 17-17-17 fertilizer and Captan.RTM.. Seven rows are impressed across the width of the flat and seeded with one species per row. The seeds are covered with soil so that they are planted at a depth of 1.2 centimeters. The species are hairy crabgrass (CG) (Digitaria sanguinalis), foxtail (FT) (Setaria spp.), watergrass (WG) (Echinochloa crusgali), wild oat (WO) (Avena fatua), mustard (MD) (Brassica juncea), curly dock (CD) (Rumex crispus), and pigweed (PW) (Amaranthus retroflexus) is seeded between the last row and the end of the flat at a depth of 1 centimeter. Ample seeds are planted to give about 20 to 50 seedlings per row after emergence depending on the size of the plant at the time of rating. At the 8 lb/acre testing rate red oat (RO) (Avena sativa) is used instead of wild oat.
After treatment, the flats are placed in the greenhouse at a temperature of 70.degree. to 85.degree. F. and water by sprinkling. Two weeks after treatment the degree of injury or control is determined by comparison with untreated plants of the same age. The injury rating is recorded as 0 to 100% for each species where 0 represents no injury and 100% represents complete kill.
B. Post-emergence Herbicide Screening Test
The procedure for this test is substantially the same as the pre-emergence herbicide screening test A. The seeds of the plant species for the 2 lb/acre test are described in screening test A. The seeds for the 8 lb/acre post-emergence test included: hairy crabgrass, watergrass, red oat, mustard, curly dock and pinto beans (BN) (Phaseolus vulgaris). The flats are seeded and placed in the greenhouse 8-12 days prior to treatment with the candidate compounds. The plant foliage was sprayed with solutions of the candidate compounds.
For the 8 lb/acre solution, 20 milligrams of the test compound was weighed out and dissolved as described above except that 2.5 milliliters acetone with 1% Tween 20.RTM. or other suitable solvent plus 2.5 milligrams of water was atomized as described above. The spray volume was 238 gallons per acre (2226 liters per hectare). The rate at 2 lb/acre (2.24 kg/hectare) was achieved using the linear spray table as described above.
The results of these tests are shown in Table II.

For practical use as herbicides the compounds of this invention are generally incorporated into herbicidal compositions which comprise an inert carrier and a herbicidally toxic amount of such a compound. Such herbicidal compositions, which can also be called formulations, enable the active compound to be applied conveniently to the site of the weed infestation in any desired quantity.
Useful formulations of the compounds of the present invention can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volume of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 5% to 99% solid or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:
______________________________________ Percent by Weight Active Ingredient Diluent(s) Surfactant(s)______________________________________Wettable Powders 20-90 0-74 1-10Oil Suspensions, 5-50 40-95 0-15Emulsions, Solutions(including Emulsifi-able Concentrates)Aqueous Suspensions 10-50 40-84 1-20Dusts 1-25 70-99 0-5Granules and Pellets 1-95 5-99 0-15High StrengthCompositions 90-99 0-10 0-2______________________________________
Lower or high levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.
Compositions including active compounds also may be applied by addition to irrigation water supplied to the field to be treated. This method of application permits penetration of the compounds into the soil as the water is absorbed therein. Compositions applied to the surface of the soil can be incorporated and distributed below the surface of the soil by conventional means such as discing or mixing operations.
The compositions can also comprise such additional substances as other pesticides, such as insecticides, nematocides, fungicides, and the like; stabilizers, spreaders, deactivators, adhesives, stickers, fertilizers, activators, synergists, antidotes, and the like.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful when combined with other herbicides and/or defoliants, dessicants, growth inhibitors, and the like in the herbicidal compositions heretofore described. These other materials can comprise from about 5% to about 95% of the active ingredients in the herbicidal compositions. Use of combinations of these other herbicides and/or defoliants, dessicants, etc. with the compounds of the present invention provide herbicidal compositions which are more effective in controlling weeds and often provide results unattainable with separate compositions of the individual herbicides.
The other herbicides, defoliants, dessicants and plant growth inhibitors, with which the compounds of this invention can be used in the herbicidal compositions to control weeds, can include chlorophenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, MCPA, MCPB, 4(2,4-DB), 2,4-DEB, 4-CPB, 4-CPA, 4-CPP, 2,4,5-TB, 2,4,5-TES, 3,4-DA, silvex and the like; carbamate herbicides such as IPC, CIPC, swep, barban, BCPC, CEPC, CCPC, and the like; thiocarbamate and dithiocarbamate herbicides such as CDEC, metham sodium, EPTC, diallate, PEBC, perbulate, vernolate and the like; substited urea herbicides such as norea, sifuron, dichloral urea, chloroxuron, cycluron, fenuron, monuron, monuron TCA, diuron, linuron, monolinuron neburon, buturon, trimethuron and the like; symmetrical triazines herbicides such as simazine, chlorazine, atraone, desmetryne, norazine, ipazine, prometryn, atazine, trietazine, simetone, prometone, propazine, ametryne and the like; chloroacetamide herbicides such as 4-(chloroacetyl)morpholine, 1-(chloracetyl)-piperidine and the like; chlorinated aliphatic acid herbicides such as TCA, dalapon, 2,3-dichloropropionic acid, 2,2,3-TPA and the like; chlorinated benzoic acid and phenylacetic acid herbicides such as 2,3,6-TBA, 2,3,5,6-TBA, dicamba, tricamba, amiben, fenac, PBA, 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorophenylacetic acid, 3-methoxy-2,6-dichlorophenylacetic acid, 2-methoxy-3,5,6-trichlorophenylacetic acid, 2,4-dichloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid and the like; and such compounds as aminotriazole, maleic hydrazide, phenyl mercuric acetate, endothal, biuret, technical chlordane, dimethyl 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalate, diquat, erbon, DNC, DNBP, dichlobenil, DPA, diphenamide, dipropalin, trifluralin, solan, dicryl, merphos, DMPA, DSMA, MSMA, potassium azide, acrolein, benefin, bensulide, AMS, bromacil, 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-oxazolidine-3,5-dione, bromoxynil, cacodylic acid, CMA, CPMF, cypromid, DCB, DCPA, dichlone, diphenatril, DMTT, DNAP, EBEP, EXD, HCA, ioxynil, IPX, isocil, potassium cyanate, MAA, MAMA, MCPES, MCPP, MH, molinate, NPA, OCH, paraquat, PCP, picloram, DPA, PCA, pyrichlor, sesone, terbacil, terbutol, TCBA, brominil, CP-50144, H-176-1, H-732, M-2901, planavin, sodium tetraborate, calcium cyanamid, DEF, ethyl xanthogen disulfide, sindone, sindone B, propanil and the like.
Such herbicides can also be used in the methods and compositions of this invention in the form of their salts, esters, amides, and other derivatives whenever applicable to the particular parent compounds.
Weeds are undesirable plants growing where they are not wanted, having no relative economic value, and interfering with the production of cultivated crops, with the growing of ornamental plants, or with the welfare of livestock.
Similarly, such weeds can be classified as broad-leaf or grassy weeds. It is economically desirable to control the growth of such weeds without damaging beneficial plants or livestock.
