Iodoallyl and iodopropargyl substituted tetrazoles and anti-microbial compositions thereof

PRIOR ART
It has been hitherto known in the art that 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol, alkyl ethers thereof and aralkyl ethers thereof can show antibacterial and antifungal activities (See, Japanese Patent Publications No. 20484/1978, No. 20006/1978 and No. 39099/1972). However, many of these compounds do not always show satisfactory antibacterial and antifungal activities and, particularly, they have disadvantages such as inferior ex vitro therapeutic ratio in animal experiments against diseases cuased by, for example, bacteria and fungi.
The present inventors previously found out that triiodopropargyl- or iodoallyl-pyrrole compounds exert antibacterial and antifungal activities and disclosed and claimed said compounds, their preparation and their antibacterial and antifungal uses in their co-pending Japanese patent applications No. 6609/1982 and No. 160557/1981. Further, the present inventors found out that iodopropargyl- or triiodoallyl-triazole, tetrazole, 5-acetylaminotetrazole, 5-methyltetrazole or triiodoallyl-5-phenyltetrazole compounds exert antibacterial and antifungal activities and disclosed and claimed said compounds, their preparation and antibacterial and antifungal uses in their co-pending Japanese patent applications No. 64759/1982 and No. 112404/1982.

The compound of the formula (I) according to this invention may be prepared according to the following reaction schema A: ##STR8##
In the above formulae, R, X and Y are as defined above. The 5-substituted tetrazole (II), which may be employed in this reaction schema, may be easily prepared according to the conventional reaction of nitrile with an azide compound, for instance, by the procedures as disclosed in, e.g. "Synthesis", page 71, 1973 or by modification thereof.
As shown above, the 5-substituted tetrazole (II) is reacted with a reactive derivative of iodopropargyl alcohol or 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol (III) to produce the end product of this invention, namely the triiodoallyl-sustituted tetrazole or iodopropargyl-substituted tetrazole compound (I).
The 3-iodopropargyl alcohol or 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol reactive derivative (III) may be prepared by reacting the corresponding alcohol with a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride or thionyl bromide or with an arylsulfonic acid derivative such as methanesulfonic acid anhydride, benzenesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. In particular, where the 3-iodopropargyl alcohol or 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol esterified with an arylsulfonic acid derivative having an electron attractive substituent is employed, the reaction may be proceed rapidly and even the reaction with a lower reactive tetrazole compound may also proceed easily.
The reaction of the above 5-substituted tetrazole (II) with the above iodopropargyl alcohol or 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol reactive derivative (III) is the N-alkylation reaction wherein the 5-substituted tetrazole (II) is dissolved or suspended in an inert organic solvent and a base and the iodopropargyl alcohol or 2,3,3-triiodoallyl alcohol reactive derivative (III) are added thereto, whereby an iodopropargyl group or a 2,3,3-triiodoallyl group is introduced onto the nitrogen atom in a tetrazole ring. As examples of the inert organic solvent which may be employed in this reaction, there may be mentioned benzene, dioxane, dichloromethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran and the like and N,N-dimethylformamide is preferable. As examples, of the base which may be employed in this reaction, there may be mentioned an organic base such as an alkali hydroxide, an alkali carbonate, an alkali bicarbonate and the like and an organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine and the like. This N-alkylation reaction may proceed rapidly at room temperature, for instance, when an alkali hydroxide is used as the base to effect the reaction with a sulfonic acid ester, but the reaction may be practically carried out under cooling, preferably at -10.degree. C. to 0.degree. C., for prevention of side reactions or the reaction may proceed in the presence of the base even with heating to 40.degree.-60.degree. C.
Of the present compound (I), the iodopropargyltetrazole compound (I-b) may be also prepared according to the following reaction schema B, in addition to the aforesaid reaction schema A. ##STR9##
In the above formulae, R'" and Y are as defined above. In this instance, the N-alkylation reaction to react the 5-substituted tetrazole (V) with the propargyl alcohol reactive derivative may be conducted in the same manner as in the aforesaid reaction schema A. The iodination reaction of the 5-propargyl-substituted tetrazole (IV) may be easily conducted by addition of iodine in the presence of a base in an inert organic solvent, thereby yielding the 5-iodopropargyl-substituted tetrazole (I-b). In this step, there may be similarly employed generally the same inert organic solvent and base as used for the N-alkylation step.
After completion of the reaction, the desired tetrazole compound (I) may be easily isolated from the reaction mixture by any conventional method, for example, by precipitation with an inert solvent such as water or extraction with an organic solvent such as benzene, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane or, if necessary, in optional combination with well-known purification methods such as column chromatography over silica gel or recrystallization from an organic solvent.
This invention will be more fully illustrated by way of the following Examples and Preparation Examples. The Examples 1 to 29 illustrate the synthesis of the novel tetrazole compound (I) according to this invention.

Preparation example of agricultural and industrial antifungal compositions according to this invention are given below. In the following examples, all parts are given by weight unless otherwise stated.
I. WETTABLE POWDERS
Preparation Example 1
Forty parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-propyltetrazole, 5 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether, 3 parts of lignin sulfonic acid and 52 parts of diatomaceous earth were uniformly pulverized and admixed to give a wettable powder containing 40% of the active ingredient.
Preparation Example 2
Forty parts of 1-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-methyltetrazole, 5 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether, 3 parts of lignin sulfonic acid and 52 parts of diatomaceous earth were uniformly pulverized and admixed to give a wettable powder containing 40% of the active ingredient.
II. GRANULES
Preparation Example 3
Twelve parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-propyltetrazole, 1 part of calcium lignin sulfonate, 30 parts of bentonite and 57 parts of clay were uniformly pulverized and admixed and the resulting mixture was kneaded with a suitable volume of water, granulated and dried to give a granule containing 12% of the active ingredient.
Preparation Example 4
Twelve parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-methyltetrazole, 1 part of calcium lignin sulfonate, 30 parts of bentonite and 57 parts of clay were uniformly pulverized and admixed and the resulting mixture was kneaded with a suitable volume of water, granulated and dried to give a granule containing 12% of the active ingredient.
III. EMULSIFIABLE CONCENTRATES
Preparation Example 5
Twenty parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-isopropyltetrazole, 30 parts of dimethylformamide, 35 parts of xylene and 15 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether were uniformly admixed to give an emulsifiable concentrate containing 20% of the active ingredient.
Preparation Example 6
Twenty parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-methyltetrazole, 30 parts of dimethylformamide, 35 parts of xylene and 15 parts of polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether were uniformly admixed to give an emulsifiable concentrate containing 20% of the active ingredient.
IV. DUSTS
Preparation Example 7
Three parts of 2-(1'-iodopropyn-3'-yl)-5-isopropyltetrazole, 0.5 part of silicic acid anhydride fine powder, 0.5 part of calcium stearate, 50 parts of clay and 46 parts of talc were uniformly pulverized and admixed to give a dust containing 3% of the active ingredient.
