Description

The present invention relates to heteroaromatic compounds and their use as crop protection agents, in particular for controlling fungi, insects, nematodes and spider mites.

The novel compounds may be prepared, for example, by the following processes: The ketoesters 1 may be converted into the active ingredients 2 by a Wittig reaction with (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 P.sup.+ --CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.3 Cl.sup.-, (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 P.sup.+ --CH.sub.3 Hal.sup.-, (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 P.sup.+ --CH.sub.2 --R.sub.5 Hal-- (Hal=halogen (Cl, Br or I)) or (C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3 P.sup.+ --CH.sub.2 --ClCl-- or by reaction with methoxyamine (Scheme 1).

T.sup.1 is the substituted heteroaromatic ring ##STR5## U.dbd.CH--OR.sup.2, CH.sub.2, CH--R.sup.2, CH--Cl or NOR.sup.2 and R.sup.3 =alkyl

The thioenol ethers 4 are obtainable by reacting chlorovinyl derivatives 3 with thiols R.sup.1 --SH under alkaline conditions (Scheme 2). ##STR6##

The amides 6 are obtainable from the esters 5 by reacting with amines HNR.sup.3 R.sup.4. The esters 5 can also be reacted with carboxylic ester enolates (cf. for example E. Tao et al., Org. Prep. Proc. Int. Briefs 17 (1985), 235) to give the .beta.-ketoesters 7 which, after decarboxylation with lithium chloride in dimethyl sulfoxide (cf. for example S. Takai et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 49 (1975), 4389), give the ketones 8 (Scheme 3). ##STR7## R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 =H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl R.sup.15 =C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl

The .alpha.-ketoesters 2 can be prepared, for example, by the literature methods shown in Scheme 4 or further literature methods (cf. for example L. Weinstock et al., Synthetic Communications 11 (1981), 943-946; J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Edition 1985, J. Wiley & Sons; R; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, 1st Edition 1989, VCH Publishers; M. Fieser, Reagents for Organic Synthesis, J. Wiley & Sons; S. Patai, The Chemistry of Acid Derivatives, J. Wiley & Sons). ##STR8##

For example, the .alpha.-ketoesters 2 can be prepared by reacting the corresponding heteroaromatics 9 (W=hydrogen) with oxalates or oxalic ester halides or imidazolides in the presence of acidic (e.g. AlCl.sub.3, TiCl.sub.4, SnCl.sub.4, ZnCl.sub.2 or FeCl.sub.3, similarly to EP 385357) or basic (e.g. pyridine, triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine, lithium diisopropylamide or butyllithium) catalysts. Furthermore, the heteroaromatics 9 (W=hydrogen or halogen) can be reacted with Mg, Li, butyllithium, lithium diisopropylamide or lithium tetramethylpiperidide (similarly to EP 253213) to give the corresponding metallized heteroaromatics, which can then be converted into the .alpha.-ketoesters 2 with oxalates, oxalic ester halides or oxalic ester imidazolides. Moreover, the cyanohydrins 6 can be obtained by subjecting HCN to an addition reaction with the aldehydes 5. The cyanohydrins 6 can then be converted with HCl and methanol into the imidoesterhydrochlorides 7, which can then be hydrolyzed to the .alpha.-hydrox-yesters 8. The .alpha.-ketoesters 2 are then obtained by oxidation of the .alpha.-hydroxyesters 8 (similarly to EP 422597).

Furthermore, the esters 10 can be reacted with dimethyl sulfoxide under alkaline conditions to give the .beta.-ketosulfoxides 11. The .beta.-ketosulfoxides 11 are then converted into the .alpha.-ketoesters 2 by reaction with bromine and subsequently with hydrochloric acid in the presence of an alcohol R.sup.3 --OH in a Pummerer reaction (cf. for example J. Amer. Chem. Soc. (1966), 5498; Synthesis (1982), 41).

The enol ethers 12 can be prepared, for example, by reacting the corresponding heteroaromatically substituted acetic ester derivatives 13 under alkaline conditions with formates (similarly to Organikum, 15th Edition 1976, page 548, VEB) and subsequently alkylating the resulting enolate. The enol ethers 12 can also be prepared by eliminating R.sup.2 --OH (similarly to T. Yamada et al., J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. (1980), 838 and the literature cited there) from the acetals 14 (similarly to T. Mukaiyama et al. Chem. Lett. (1976), 769).

Alternatively, the acrylates 15 may further be converted into the acrylates 12 by successive reaction with bromine, an alcoholate R.sup.2 --O--M (M.dbd.Na, K, Li or Mg) and a protic acid, e.g. NaHSO.sub.4 (similarly to G. Shaw et al., J. Chem. Soc. (1958), 153 and the literature cited there) (Scheme 5). ##STR9##

Important intermediates for synthesis of the heteroaromatic compounds as claimed in claim 1 are oxime ethers 19 and 20, which can be prepared by nitrosation/alkylation of the .beta.-ketoesters 16 to give the oxime ethers 18 and subsequent reaction of 18 with halogen (Hal, Cl.sub.2 or Br.sub.2) or dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) (Scheme 6). ##STR10##

The .alpha.-halocarbonyl compounds 19 can then be cyclized to thiazoles 21 (similarly to M. Tomlinsen, J. Chem. Soc. (1935), 1030), imidazoles 22 (similarly to H. Brederck et al., Chem. Ber. 86 (1953), 88 or oxazoles 23 (similarly to Z. Itov et al., Khim.-farm. Zh. 23 (1989), Scheme 7). ##STR11##

The enamines 20 can be converted into isoxazoles (similarly to P. Schenone, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 20 (1983), 645), pyrazoles 25 (J. Heterocycl. Chem. 14 (1977), 345) or pyrimidines 26 (Scheme 8). ##STR12##

Further important intermediates for the synthesis of the heteroaromatic compounds as claimed in claim 1 are the oxime ethers 29 and 30, which can be prepared by selective oximation of the .alpha., .gamma.-diketoesters 27 (prepared similarly to Organikum, 15th Edition 1976, page 584) to give the oxime ethers 28 and subsequent halogenation (Hal .dbd.Cl or Br) or by reaction of the compounds 28 with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) (Scheme 9). ##STR13##

The .alpha.-halocarbonyl compound 29 can then be converted into thiazoles 31, imidazoles 32, oxazoles 33 or furans 34 (similarly to Winberg et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 82 (1960), 1428 (Scheme 10, cf. Scheme 7). ##STR14##

The enamine 30 can then be converted into the isoxazoles 35, pyrazoles 36 or pyrimidines 37 (Scheme 11, cf. Scheme 8). ##STR15##

In addition, isoxazoles such as 41 are obtainable from the pyruvic acid derivative 38. 38 is oxidized with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide to the aldehyde 39, which is converted with hydroxylamine into the oxime 40. The latter reacts with acetylenes in the presence of NaOCl to give the isoxazole 41 (Scheme 12). ##STR16##

The heteroaromatic compounds 45 can be prepared by reacting the halides 44 (Hal.dbd.Cl or Br) with the corresponding nucleophiles. The bromides 44 are obtained by free radical halogenation of the heteroaromatic compounds 42 or by ether cleavage of the methyl ether 43 (Scheme 13). ##STR17## A: --CH(R.sup.5)--O--N.dbd.C(R.sup.6)--, --CH(R.sup.5)--O--N.dbd., --CH(R.sup.5) --S--, --CH(R.sup.5)--O--, --CH(R.sup.5)--NR.sup.7 --, --CH(R.sup.5)--O--C(.dbd.O)--

The heteroaromatic compounds 48 can be prepared by reacting the carbonyl compounds 47 with oxime ethers H.sub.2 N--O--B or azines H.sub.2 N--N.dbd.B or by a Wittig reaction with the corresponding phosphonium salts, phosphonates or phosphonium oxides. The carbonyl compounds 47 are obtained by oxidizing the halides 42 with N-methyl-morpholine N-oxide or by hydrolysis of the dihalides 46 under catalysis by a heavy metal salt (Scheme 14). The dihalides 46 are obtainable by free radical halogenation of the monohalides 44 or by free radical dihalogenation of the heteroaromatic compounds 42. ##STR18## A: --C(R.sup.5).dbd.N--O--, --C(R.sup.5).dbd.N--N.dbd. or --C(R.sup.5).dbd.C(R.sup.7 --

Alternatively, the halides 42 can be converted into the corresponding phosphorus compounds 49 (phosphonium salts, phosphonates or phosphine oxides) and then with carbonyl compounds in a Wittig reaction to the corresponding olefins (Scheme 15). ##STR19##

Moreover, the ketoesters 51 can be halogenated in the side chain (Hal.dbd.Cl or Br) and then reacted with the corresponding nucleophiles to give the heteroaromatic compounds 53. The novel compounds 54 are then obtainable from the ketoesters 53 similarly to Scheme 1 (Scheme 16). ##STR20##

The Examples which follow illustrate the preparation of the novel compounds.

The novel compounds are suitable as fungicides, insecticides, nematicides and for regulating the growth of plants.

The fungicidal compounds according to the invention, or agents containing them, may be applied for instance in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions (including high-percentage aqueous, oily or other suspensions), dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broadcasting agents, or granules by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The forms of application depend entirely on the purpose for which the agents are being used, but they must ensure as fine a distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention as possible.

Normally, the plants are sprayed or dusted with the active ingredients or the seeds of the plants are treated with the active ingredients.

The formulations are produced in known manner, for example by extending the active ingredient with solvents and/or carriers, with or without the use of emulsifiers and dispersants; if water is used as solvent, it is also possible to employ other organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable auxiliaries for this purpose are solvents such as aromatics (e.g., xylene), chlorinated aromatics (e.g., chlorobenzenes), paraffins (e.g., crude oil fractions), alcohols (e.g., methanol, butanol), ketones (e.g., cyclohexanone), amines (e.g., ethanolamine, dimethylformamide), and water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (e.g., kaolins, aluminas, talc and chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g., highly disperse silica and silicates); emulsifiers such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (e.g., polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkyl sulfonates and aryl sulfonates); and dispersants such as lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, e.g., ligninsulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulionic acid and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates, and alkyl, lauryl ether and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.

Powders; dusts and broadcasting agents may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier.

Granules, e.g., coated, impregnated or homogeneous granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silicic acids, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, attapulgus clay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and ureas, and vegetable products such as grain meals, bark meal, wood meal, and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders, etc.

The compounds are extremely effective on a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, in particular those from the class consisting of the Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes. Some of them have a systemic action and can be used as foliar and soil fungicides.

The fungicidal compounds are of particular interest for controlling a large number of fungi in various crops or their seeds, especially wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, Indian corn, lawns, cotton, soybeans, coffee, sugar cane, fruit and ornamentals in horticulture and viticulture, and in vegetables such as cucumbers, beans and cucurbits.

The compounds are applied by treating the fungi or the seeds, plants, materials or the soil to be protected against fungus attack with an effective amount of the active ingredients.

Application may be effected before or after infection of the materials, plants or seed by the fungi.

The compounds I are particularly useful for controlling the following plant diseases:

Erysiphegraminis in cereals, Erysiphe cichoracearum and Sphaerotheca fuliginea in cucurbits, Podosphaera leucotricha in apples, Uncinula necator in vines, Puccinia species in cereals, Rhizoctonia solani in cotton, Ustilago species in cereals and sugar cane, Venturia inaequalis (scab) in apples, Helminthosporium species in cereals, Septoria nodorum in wheat, Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) in strawberries and grapes, Cercospora arachidicola in groundnuts, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides in wheat and barley, Pyricularia oryzae in rice, Phytophthora infestans in potatoes and tomatoes, Fusarium and Verticillium species in various plants, Plasmopara viticola in grapes, Alternaria species in fruit and vegetables.

The novel compounds may also be used for protecting materials (timber) against, for example, Paecilomyces variotii.

Generally, the fungicidal agents contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably from 0.5 to 90, wt % of active ingredient.

The application rates depend on the effect desired, and vary from 0.02 to 3 kg of active ingredient per hectare.

When the active ingredients are used for treating seed, rates of from 0.001 to 50, and preferably from 0.01 to 10, g per kg of seed are generally needed.

When applied as fungicides, the agents according to the invention may also be present together with other active ingredients, for example herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, other fungicides, or fertilizers.

When admixed with other fungicides, the fungicidal spectrum of action is in many cases increased.

Use Example 1

Action on Plasmopara viticola

Leaves of potted vines of the Muller-Thurgau variety were sprayed with aqueous suspensions containing (dry basis) 80% of active ingredient and 20% of emulsifier. To assess the duration of action, the plants were set up, after the sprayed-on layer had dried, for 8 days in the greenhouse. Then the leaves were infected with a zoospore suspension of

Plasmopara viticola. The plants were first placed for 48 hours in a water vapor-saturated chamber at 24.degree. C. and then in a greenhouse for 5 days at from 20.degree. to 30.degree. C. To accelerate and intensify the sporangiophore discharge, the plants were then again placed in the moist cheer for 16 hours. The extent of fungus attack was then assessed on the undersides of the leaves.

The results show that active ingredients nos. 17, 23, 24, 27, 29, 60, 62, 64, 66, 70, 91, 101, 102, 112, 113, 122, 123, 124, 126, 130 and 134 from Table 3, when applied as spray liquors containing 250 ppm (by weight) of active ingredient, have a better fungicidal action (90%) than prior art comparative agent A (0%).

Use Example 2 Action on Pyricularia oryzae (protective)

Leaves of pot-grown rice seedlings of the "Bahia" variety were sprayed to runoff with aqueous emulsions containing (dry basis) 80% of active ingredient and 20% of emulsifier, and inoculated 24 hours later with an aqueous spore suspension of Pyricularia oryzae. The plants were then set up in climatic cabinets at 22.degree. to 24.degree. C. and 95 to 99% relative humidity. The extent of fungus attack was assessed after 6 days.

The results show that active ingredients nos. 17, 19, 20, 23, 90, 91 and 102 from Table 3, when applied as spray liquors containing 500 ppm (by weight) of active ingredient, have a better fungicidal action (90%) than prior art comparative compound A (10%).
