Patent Application
20180310564
The present invention relates to a mesoionic compound, a manufacturing method thereof, and a harmful organism control agent containing the same as active ingredient.
In Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, specific mesoionic pyrimidinium compounds are disclosed as insecticides.
The compounds described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 do not necessarily exhibit sufficient controlling effect against various harmful organisms. Furthermore, many of the harmful organisms easily acquire resistance to insecticides to considerably lessen the control effects of existing chemical agents. Accordingly, the demand for novel active ingredients of insecticides having a chemical structure, an action mechanism, or a site of action different from those of conventional insecticidal active compounds is always present.
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel mesoionic compound or a salt thereof as active ingredient of insecticides having a more excellent controlling activity against various harmful organisms.
Through extensive study of the technical problem, the present inventors found that the modification of the chemical structure of conventional mesoionic compounds considerably improves the controlling activity against various harmful organisms. Through further investigation, the present invention has been accomplished.

After stirring the reaction mixture under reflux for 5 hours, potassium phosphate (23.50 g, 110.7 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was further stirred under reflux for 2.5 hours. After cooling of the reaction liquid to room temperature, the reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 3 with hydrochloric acid, and filtered by a filter aid to remove solids. The filtrate was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, washed once each with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure by an evaporator. A brown oily crude product (27.93 g) was obtained.
The resulting crude product (16.90 g) was added to 11% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (112 g) and methanol (25 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred from room temperature to 60° C. for 2 hours. Hydrochloric acid was then added to the reaction solution until the pH reached 1. The solution was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. Ethyl acetate was distilled off under reduced pressure by an evaporator. To the resulting slightly brown solid (15.70 g), dichloromethane (160 mL) was added, and oxalyl chloride (15.8 mL, 184.2 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (0.8 mL) were then added thereto. After stirring of the reaction mixture at room temperature for 1 hour, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (24.30 g, 123.1 mmol) was added thereto and further stirred for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and methanol was added to the residue obtained, so that solids precipitated out slowly from the solution. The precipitated solids were collected by filtration and dried at 60° C., so that the title compound (21.50 g, 63.3%, white solid) was obtained.
To toluene (7.5 mL), 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)propane diacid (0.72 g, 2.90 mmol) was added, and oxalyl chloride (0.58 mL, 6.76 mmol) and DMF in a catalytic amount were added thereto and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was then cooled in an ice bath, and 3-(pyridin-2-ylamino)propanenitrile (0.43 g, 2.92 mmol) dissolved in toluene (4 mL) was added thereto. Subsequently, triethylamine (0.80 mL, 5.77 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 20 hours at room temperature. Normal hexane was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred for one hour. The precipitated crude crystals were filtered, washed with normal hexane. To the crude crystals obtained, a mixture solution of t-butyl methyl ether and ethyl acetate in a ratio of 7:1 was added and stirred. After filtration, the crystals were washed with t-butyl methyl ether. The crystals obtained were dissolved in ethyl acetate and a small amount of methanol, washed twice with 1 N-hydrochloric acid and once with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated by an evaporator, so that the title compound (0.974 mmol, 33.6%) was obtained.
