DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Synthesis of the Compounds
The compounds employed as insecticides in accordance with this invention are generally known to those skilled in the art, including commercial preparations thereof, or may readily be prepared from these compounds by known methods. These and other methods are described in further detail in the description and examples below.
Thus, in general, these compounds may be prepared by the reaction of a 4-substituted cyclohexanone with cyanoguanidine in a solvent, such as 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol. The reaction mixture, which when heated to about 160.degree. C., will afford the corresponding 2,4-diamino-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Examples 1 and 4 provide a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
Cyanoguanidine, and many 4-substituted-cyclohexanones, used in the preparation of the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolines of this invention are available from commercial sources. However, depending on what the bridging atom or group n is when R.sup.4 is --(n).sub.m --R.sup.10 and m is 1, a number of other 4-substituted-cyclohexanones must be prepared in the laboratory. The routes used to prepare the 4-substituted-cyclohexanones are also known to one skilled in the art.
For example, when n is the bridging group --CH.sub.2--, an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenylmethyl bromide, for example, 2-chlorophenylmethyl bromide, is reacted with triphenylphosphine in toluene, affording the corresponding phenylmethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. The so-prepared phosphonium bromide is then treated with n-butyllithium, and reacted with 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal, yielding the appropriate 8-phenylmethylene-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]-decane. The 8-phenylmethylene-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane is in turn reduced with hydrogen gas in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal, giving the corresponding 8-phenylmethyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]-decane. The 1,4-dioxaspiro functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, affording the corresponding 4-phenylmethylcyclohexanone. The 4-phenylmethylcyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylmethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 2 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
The chemistry described above is applicable to the preparation of more complex 2,4-diamino-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolines. For example, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-ylmethyl bromide and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ylmethyl bromide are reacted in the same manner as shown above, yielding the corresponding targeted 2,4-diamino-6-(2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-ylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and 2,4-diamino-6-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-ylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, respectively. Examples 5 and 6 provide a detailed description of how these reactions are conducted.
In an alternate method, when n is the bridging group --CH.sub.2 --, the 8-phenylmethylene-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane is treated with acetic acid and water as previously described, yielding the corresponding 4-phenylmethylenecyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then reduced with hydrogen gas in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal (Degussa type), yielding the corresponding 4-phenylmethylcyclohexanol, which is in turn treated with sodium dichromate and sulfuric acid in water, affording the 4-phenylmethylcyclohexanone. The 4-phenylmethylcyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylmethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 3 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When n is the bridging group --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --, an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenyl methyl ketone, for example, methyl (3-chlorophenyl) ketone, is prepared by the reaction of methylmagnesium bromide and an appropriate benzonitrile in tetrahydrofuran. The ketone is in turn treated with methylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran, yielding the corresponding 2-phenylpropan-2-ol, which is then converted to the 2-bromo-2-phenylpropane by the treatment of the alcohol with lithium bromide and trimethylsilyl chloride in acetonitrile. The Grignard reagent of the 2-bromo-2-phenylpropane is then prepared and reacted with 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal in tetrahydrofuran, yielding the corresponding 1-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)-1-cyclohexen-4-one. The so-prepared cyclohexenone is reduced with hydrogen gas in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal, yielding the 4-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)cyclohexanone, which is in turn reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 7 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When n is the bridging group --C(Cl).dbd.CH--, 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal is reduced with sodium borohydride in ethanol, yielding the corresponding 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol. The so-prepared alcohol is then treated with methanesulfonyl chloride under basic conditions in methylene chloride, affording 8-methylsulfonyloxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, which is in turn treated with sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran, and then is reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene, yielding 8-(trimethylsilylethynyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. This compound is then treated with sodium carbonate in methanol to unprotect the ethynyl moiety, affording 8-ethynyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The so-prepared ethynyl compound is reacted with an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenyl iodide, for example, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl iodide, under basic conditions in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride and copper(I) iodide in acetonitrile, and then is treated with 1N hydrochloric acid, yielding the corresponding 4-(phenylethynyl)cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, affording the 2,4-diamino-6-phenylethynyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Chlorination of the 6-phenylethynyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, using the methods of J. Cousseau (JCS Faraday II, 1973, 1821, and JCS Perkin I, 1977, 1797), affords the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-[1-chloro-2-phenylethenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 8 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When the bridging group is carbonyl, the Grignard reagent of 8-bromo-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane is first prepared. The precursor 8-bromo-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane is prepared by the method of E. I. Snyder (JOC, 36, 403 (1971)). The Grignard reagent is in turn reacted with an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted benzaldehyde, for example, 3-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde and then treated with aqueous ammonium chloride, yielding [(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)(phenyl)]methanol. The so-prepared alcohol is treated with sodium hydride in toluene, and then is reacted with phenylmethyl bromide, yielding phenylmethyl [(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)(phenyl)]methyl ether. The 1,4-dioxaspiro functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, as previously described, affording the corresponding phenylmethyl [(cyclohexanon-4-yl)(phenyl)]methyl ether. The ether is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, yielding the appropriate 2,4-diamino-6-[(phenylmethoxy)(phenyl)methyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. The tetrahydroquinazoline is then cleaved with hydrogen gas in the presence of 5% palladium on charcoal, yielding the corresponding [(2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolin- 6-yl)(phenyl)]methanol. Using the method of D. Swern (Tetrahedron, 34, 1651-1660 (1978)), the methanol is oxidized with oxalyl chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide in methylene chloride, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylcarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 9 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When the bridging atom n is oxygen, an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenol, for example, 3-trifluoromethylphenol, is treated with sodium hydride in toluene and reacted with 8-methylsulfonyloxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (the preparation of which was previously described), yielding the corresponding 8-phenoxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The 1,4-dioxaspiro functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, affording the corresponding 4-phenoxycyclohexanone, which is in turn reacted with cyanoguanidine, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 10 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When the bridging group n is --OCH.sub.2 --, 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol (the preparation of which was previously described) is treated with sodium hydride and reacted with an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenylmethyl bromide, for example, 3-trifluoromethylphenylmethyl bromide, affording the corresponding 8-phenylmethoxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The 1,4-dioxaspiro functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, affording the corresponding 4-phenylmethoxycyclohexanone, which is in turn reacted with cyanoguanidine, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylmethoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 11 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When the bridging group n is .dbd.NO--, 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline 6-ethylene ketal is prepared from 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal and cyanoguanidine, as previously described. The 2,4-diamino moieties are then protected by the reaction of 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline 6-ethylene ketal with pivalic anhydride in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, yielding 2,4-di[(1,1-dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline 6-ethylene ketal. The 6-ethylene ketal functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, affording the corresponding 2,4-di[(1,1 -dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-quinazolinone. A second intermediate, an O-(phenyl)hydroxylamine, is prepared by the reaction of an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenol, for example, 3,5-dichlorophenol, with O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine [prepared by the method of T. Sheradsky et al (Tetrahedron, 28, 3833 (1972)). The so-prepared O-(phenyl)hydroxylamine, for example, O-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)hydroxylamine, is then reacted with the 2,4-di[(1,1-dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-quinazolinone in ethanol, yielding the corresponding 2,4-di[(1,1-dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-6-phenoxyimino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Treatment of the 2,4-di[(1,1-dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-6-phenoxyimino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline with methanolic hydrochloric acid yields the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenoxyimino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 12 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
When the bridging group n is .dbd.NOCH.sub.2 --, an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenylmethyl chloride, for example, 3-trifluoromethylphenylmethyl chloride, is reacted under basic conditions with N-hydroxyphthalimide in dimethyl sulfoxide, yielding the corresponding N-(phenylmethoxy)phthalimide. The so-prepared phthalimide is in turn reacted with hydrazine monohydrate in ethanol, affording an O-(phenylmethyl)hydroxylamine, for example, O-(3-trifluorophenylmethyl)hydroxylamine. The O-(phenylmethyl)hydroxylamine is then reacted with 2,4-di[(1,1 -dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-quinazolinone, as described above, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylmethoxyimino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 13 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
It should be noted that when the bridging group n is --OCH.sub.2 --, .dbd.NO--, or .dbd.NOCH.sub.2 --, as above, the left end of these moieties is attached to the 6-position of the 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline ring.
When the bridging group n is --Si(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --, the Grignard reagent of 8-bromo-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane is reacted with, for example, chlorodimethylphenylsilane, affording 8-phenyldimethylsilyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The 1,4-dioxaspiro functional group is then cleaved from the so-prepared molecule with acetic acid and water, yielding the corresponding 4-(phenyldimethylsilyl)cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, affording the target 2,4-diamino-6-phenyldimethylsilyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 14 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
A number of 2-substituted-4-amino-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolines are prepared (where R is other than amino). A 4-substituted-cyclohexanone, for example 4-(2-chlorophenyl)cyclohexanone, is reacted with N-cyano-S-methylisothiourea (prepared by the method of R. W. Turner; Synthesis, 332 (1975)) under pressure in the presence of pyrrolidine, yielding the targeted 4-amino-2-methylthio-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. The so-prepared 4-amino-2-methylthio-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline may in turn be oxidized with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in chloroform, yielding another targeted compound, 4-amino-2-methylsulfinyl-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Examples 16 and 17 provide detailed descriptions of how these reactions are conducted.
The 4-amino-2-methylsulfinyl-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline compounds, for example, 4-amino-2-methylsulfinyl-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, may be reacted further with, for example, 40% methylamine or pyrrolidine, under high pressure, yielding the corresponding targeted 4-amino-2-methylamino-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and 4-amino-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-6-substituted-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, respectively. Examples 18 and 19 provide detailed descriptions of how these reactions are conducted.
When a 3,4-disubstituted cyclohexanone is reacted with cyanoguanidine, as described above, the tetrahydroquinazoline product obtained is an isomeric mixture. For example, the reaction of 3-methyl-4-phenylcyclohexanone with cyanoguanidine yields two mixtures of isomers: cis/trans-2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and cis/trans-2,4-diamino-7-methyl-6-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Within each family of isomers there also exists a pair of geometric isomers, for example, cis-2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and trans-2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Also, within each member of the of the geometric pair, for example, cis-2,4-diamino-5-methyl-6-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, there exist additional optical isomers. The scope of the present invention, therefore, is intended to include each geometric and optical isomer as well as the mixtures of these isomers.
The intermediate 3-methyl-4-phenylcyclohexanone is prepared, first by the reaction of 4-phenylcyclohexanone with phenylselenenyl chloride and aqueous 30% hydrogen peroxide, yielding 4-phenyl-2-cyclohexenone, and then the reaction of the cyclohexenone with 1.4M methyllithium and aqueous ammonium chloride, affording 3-methyl-4-phenylcyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine as previously described. Example 15 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.

Insecticide Formulations
In the normal use of the insecticidal tetrahydroquinazolines of the present invention, they usually will not be employed free from admixture or dilution, but ordinarily will be used in a suitable formulated composition compatible with the method of application and comprising an insecticidally effective amount of the tetrahydroquinazoline. The tetrahydroquinazolines of this invention, like most pesticidal agents, may be blended with the agriculturally acceptable surface-active agents and carriers normally employed for facilitating the dispersion of active ingredients, recognizing the accepted fact that the formulation and mode of application of an insecticide may affect the activity of the material. The present tetrahydroquinazolines may be applied, for example, as sprays, dusts, or granules to the area where pest control is desired, the type of application varying of course with the pest and the environment. Thus, the tetrahydroquinazolines of this invention may be formulated as granules of large particle size, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions, and the like. It will be understood that the insecticides themselves may be present as essentially pure compounds, or as mixtures of these tetrahydroquinazoline compounds.
Granules may comprise porous or nonporous particles, such as attapulgite clay or sand, for example, which serve as carriers for the quinazolines. The granule particles are relatively large, a diameter of about 400-2500 microns typically. The particles are either impregnated with the tetrahydroquinazoline from solution or coated with the tetrahydroquinazoline, adhesive sometimes being employed. Granules generally contain 0.05-10%, preferably 0.5-5%, active ingredient as the insecticidally effective amount.
Dusts are admixtures of the tetrahydroquinazolines with finely divided solids such as talc, attapulgite clay, kieselguhr, pyrophyllite, chalk, diatomaceous earths, calcium phosphates, calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfur, flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which acts carriers for the insecticide. These finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A typical dust formulation useful for controlling insects contains 1 part of Compound 53 and 99 parts of talc.
The tetrahydroquinazolines of the present invention may be made into liquid concentrates by dissolution or emulsification in suitable liquids and into solid concentrates by admixture with talc, clays, and other known solid carriers used in the pesticide art. The concentrates are compositions containing, as an insecticidally effective amount, about 5-50% tetrahydroquinazoline, and 95-50% inert material, which includes surface-active dispersing, emulsifying, and wetting agents, but even higher concentrations of active ingredient may be employed experimentally. The concentrates are diluted with water or other liquids for practical application as sprays, or with additional solid carrier for use as dusts.
By way of illustration, compound 53 is formulated as a 10% wettable powder (10% WP) as follows:
______________________________________COMPONENT AMOUNT (wt/wt)______________________________________Compound 53 10.1%Wetting Agent 5.0%Dispersing Agent 3.8%Wetting/Dispersing Agent 0.9%Diluent 80.2%______________________________________
Manufacturing concentrates are useful for shipping low melting products of this invention. Such concentrates are prepared by melting the low melting solid products together with one percent or more of a solvent to produce a concentrate which does not solidify on cooling to the freezing point of the pure product or below.
Useful liquid concentrates include the emulsifiable concentrates, which are homogeneous liquid or paste compositions readily dispersed in water or other liquid carriers. They may consist entirely of the tetrahydroquinazolines with a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or they may also contain a liquid carrier such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isophorone and other relatively non-volatile organic solvents. For application, these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carriers and normally applied as sprays to areas to be treated.
Typical surface-active wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying agents used in pesticidal formulations include, for example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts, including fatty methyl taurides; alkylaryl polyether alcohols; sulfates of higher alcohols; polyvinyl alcohols; polyethylene oxides; sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils; fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters; and the addition products of long-chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide. Many other types of useful surface-active agents are available in commerce. The surface-active agent, when used, normally comprises about 1-15% by weight of the insecticidal composition.
Other useful formulations include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a solvent in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentrations, such as acetone or other organic solvents.
As shown in the biological test methods below, the compounds of the present invention were tested in the laboratory as dimethyl sulfoxide solutions incorporated into an artificial insect diet or as aqueous acetone or methanol solutions containing a small amount of octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol surfactant for use as foliar sprays. An insecticidally effective amount of tetrahydroquinazoline in an insecticidal composition diluted for application is normally in the range of about 0.001% to about 8% by weight. Many variations of spraying and dusting compositions known in the art may be used by substituting the tetrahydroquinazoline of this invention into compositions known or apparent in the art.
The insecticidal compositions of this invention may be formulated with other active ingredients, including other insecticides, nematicides, acaricides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, etc.
In using the compositions to control insects, it is only necessary that an insecticidally effective amount of tetrahydroquinazoline be applied to the locus where control is desired. Such locus may, e.g., be the insects themselves, plants upon which the insects feed, or the insect habitat. When the locus is the soil, e.g., soil in which agricultural crops are or will be planted, the active compound may be applied to and optionally incorporated into the soil. For most applications, an insecticidally effective amount will be about 75 to 4000 g per hectare, preferably 150 g to 3000 g per hectare.
Biological Data
The substituted 2,4-diaminotetrahydroquinazolines of the present invention were incorporated into an artificial diet for evaluation of insecticidal activity against the tobacco budworm (Hellothis virescens [Fabricius]).
Stock solutions of test chemical in dimethyl sulfoxide were prepared for each rate of application. The rates of application, expressed as the negative log of the molar concentration, and the corresponding concentrations of the stock solution prepared for each rate are shown below:
______________________________________Stock Solution Rate of Application______________________________________50 micromolar 45 50.5 60.05 70.005 8______________________________________
One hundred microliters of each of the stock solutions was manually stirred into 50 mL of a molten (65.degree.-70.degree. C.) wheat germ-based artificial diet. The 50 mL of molten diet containing the test chemical was poured evenly into twenty wells in the outer four rows of a twenty-five well, five row plastic tray. Each well in the tray was about 1 cm in depth, with an opening of 3 cm by 4 cm at the lip. Molten diet containing only dimethyl sulfoxide at the levels used in the test chemical-treated diet was poured into the five wells in the third row of the tray. Each tray therefore contained one test chemical at a single rate of application, together with an untreated control.
Single second instar tobacco budworm larvae were placed in each well. The larvae were selected at a stage of growth at which they uniformly weigh about 5 mg each. Upon completion of infestation, a sheet of clear plastic was heat-sealed over the top of the tray using a common household flat iron. The trays were held at 25.degree. C. at 60% relative humidity for five days in a growth chamber. Lighting was set at 14 hours of light and 10 hours of darkness.
After the 5-day exposure period, mortality counts were taken, and the surviving insects were weighed. From the weights of the surviving insects that fed on the treated diet as compared to those insects that fed on the untreated diet, the percent growth inhibition caused by each test chemical was determined. From these data, the negative log of the concentration of the test chemical that provided 50% growth inhibition (pl.sub.50) was determined by linear regression, when possible, for each test chemical. Where possible, the negative log of the concentration of the test chemical that provided 50% mortality (pLC.sub.50) was also determined.
The results of the above diet test, as reported in Table 2, below, show that Compounds 4, 7, 53, 59, 266, and 269 of Table 1 all have pLC.sub.50 values of 5.1 or higher. Compounds 4 and 53 have pLC.sub.50 values of 5.8, demonstrating their high insecticidal activity.
