Description

The present invention relates to and has for its objects the provision of particular new N-methyl-N-(benzene sulfonic acid methylamide-N'-sulfenyl)-carbamic acid esters which are optionally halogen- or alkyl-substituted on the benzene ring of the sulfonamide, which possess insecticidal and acaricidal properties, active compositions in the form of mixtures of such compounds with solid and liquid dispersible carrier vehicles, and methods for producing such compounds and for using such compounds in a new way especially for combating pests, e.g. insects and acarids, with other and further objects becoming apparent from a study of the within specification and accompanying examples.
It has been disclosed in German Published Specifications DAS 1,108,202 and 1,138,277 and Belgian Pat. No. 674,792 that carbamates are effective insecticides. Some of the compounds described therein are commercially available products but have the disadvantage that they are not always entirely satisfactory, particularly if low concentrations are used.
The present invention provides, as new compounds, the N-sulfenylated carbamates of the formula ##SPC2##
In which
X is halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or hydrogen, and
R is a phenyl, naphthyl, benzodioxolanyl or indanyl radical optionally carrying at least one alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkenoxy, alkylmercapto, alkenylmercapto, alkynylmercapto, dialkylamino, trihalogenomethyl, halogeno, nitro, nitrile, cycloalkyl, formamidino, dioxanyl or dioxolanyl radical; or an oxime radical of the formula ##EQU2## in which R.sup.1 and R.sub.2 each individually is alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, nitrile or alkoxycarbonyl, the alkyl moieties of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 optionally being linked to one another.
The compounds of this invention display strong insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
Preferably the alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl moieties of the various substituents contain up to about four carbon atoms. More preferably, R is a phenyl, 2-isopropoxyphenyl, 3,5-dimethyl-4-methylmercapto-phenyl, 3-methyl-4-dimethylaminophenyl, 4-nitrophenyl, 2-allyloxyphenyl, 3-sec.-butyl-4-methylphenyl, 4-methyl-3-isopropylphenyl, 2-dimethylaminophenyl, 1-naphthyl, 4-(1,1-dimethylindanyl) or 2,2-dimethylbenzodioxolanyl radical, or an oxime radical derived from acetonoxime, dichloroacetonoxime, malonic acid diethyl ester-oxime, 2-oximino-1,3-dithiolane, 4-methyl-2-oximino-1,3-dithiolane, 4,4-dimethyl-2-oximino-1,3-dithiolane, 4-phenyl-2-oximino-1,3-dithiolane, 2-oximino-1,3-oxathiolane, 2-oximino-1,3-dithiane, 2-oximino-1,3-oxathiane methylthio-hydroxamacetic acid ester or n-butylthio-hydroxamacetic acid ester.
The present invention also provides a process for preparation of an N-sulfenylated carbamate of the general formula (I), in which a carbamic acid fluoride of the general formula ##SPC3##
in which
X has the above-mentioned meaning, is reacted with a compound of the general formula
R--OH (IV),
in which
R has the above-mentioned meaning,
if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent and/or of a diluent.
When using 2-oximino-1,3-dithiolane and N-methyl-N-(p-toluenesulfonic acid methylamide-N'-sulfenyl)-carbamic acid fluoride as the starting materials, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation: ##SPC4##
The phenols and oximes that may be employed in the preparative process are known from the literature.
The substituted carbamic acid fluorides required may be prepared by reacting the sodium salt of the appropriate arylsulfonic and methylamide with sulfur dichloride. The disulfide thus obtained is split with chlorine to give the sulfenic acid chloride and the latter is reacted with N-methyl-carbamic acid fluoride. This method of synthesis is represented by the following equation. ##SPC5##
Possible diluents are all inert organic solvents, especially ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, hydrocarbons, such as benzene, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform and chlorobenzene.
In order to bind the hydrogen fluoride produced in the reaction, a tertiary organic base, for example triethylamine, is preferably added to the reaction mixture.
The reaction temperatures can be varied over a fairly wide range; in general, the reaction is carried out at about 0.degree. to 100.degree.C, preferably at about 20.degree. to 40.degree.C.
Equimolar amounts of the reactants are preferably used in carrying out the process according to this invention.
The active compounds according to the present invention, while having a low toxicity to warm-blooded animals, display strong insecticidal properties and acaricidal properties and can therefore be used with good success for combating harmful sucking and biting insects and mites.
To the sucking insects there belong, in the main, aphids (Aphidae) such as the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), the bean aphid (Doralis fabae), the bird cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi), the pea aphid (Macrosiphum pisi) and the potato aphid (Macrosiphum solanifolii), the currant gall aphid (Cryptomyzus korschelti), the rosy apple aphid (Sappaphis mali), the mealy plum aphid (Hyalopterus arundinis) and the cherry black-fly (Myzus cerasi); in addtion, scales and mealybugs (Coccina), for example the oleander scale (Aspidiotus hederae) and the soft scale (Lecanium hesperidum) as well as the grape mealybug (Pseudococcus maritimus); thrips (Thysanoptera), such as Hercinothrips femoralis, and bugs, for example the beet bug (Piesma quadrata), the red cotton bug (Dysdercus intermedius), the bed bug (Cimex lectularius), the assassin bug (Rhodnius prolixus) and Chagas' bug (Triatoma infestans) and, further, cicadas, such as Euscelis bilobatus and Nephotettix bipunctatus.

When applied against pests harmful to health and pests of stored products, particularly flies and mosquitoes, the present compounds are also distinguished by an outstanding residual activity on wood and clay, as well as a good stability to alkali on limed substrates.
The active compounds according to the instant invention can be utilized, if desired, in the form of the usual formulations or compositions with conventional inert (i.e. plant compatible or herbicidally inert) pesticide diluents or extenders, i.e. diluents, carriers or extenders of the type usable in conventional pesticide formulations or compositions, e.g. conventional pesticide dispersible carrier vehicle such as gases, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, spray powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents, granules, etc. These are prepared in known manner, for instance by extending the active compounds with conventional pesticide dispersible liquid diluent carriers and/or dispersible solid carriers optionally with the use of carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. conventional pesticide surface-active agents, including emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, whereby, for example, in the case where water is used as diluent, organic solvents may be added as auxiliary solvents. The following may be chiefly considered for use as conventional carrier vehicles for this purpose: aerosol propellants which are gaseous at normal temperatures and pressures, such as freon; inert dispersible liquid diluent carriers, including inert organic solvents, such as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, alkyl naphthalenes, etc.), halogenated, especially chlorinated, aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. chlorobenzenes, etc.), cycloalkanes (e.g. cyclohexane, etc.), paraffins (e.g. petroleum or mineral oil fractions), chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. methylene chloride, chloroethylenes, etc.), alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, glycol, etc.) as well as ethers and esters thereof (e.g. glycol monomethyl ether, etc.), amines (e.g. ethanolamine, etc.), amides (e.g. dimethyl formamide, etc.), sulfoxides (e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.), acetonitrile, ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.), and/or water; as well as inert dispersible finely divided solid carriers, such as ground natural minerals (e.g. kaoline, clays, alimina, silica, chalk, i.e. calcium carbonate, talc, attapulgite, montmorillonite, kieselguhr, etc.) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid, silicates, e.g. alkali silicates, etc.); whereas the following may be chiefly considered for use as conventional carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. surface-active agents, for this purpose: emulsifying agents, such as non-ionic and/or anionic emulsifying agents (e.g. polyethylene oxide esters of fatty acids, polyethylene oxide ethers of fatty alcohols, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, aryl sulfonates, albumin hydrolyzates, etc., and especially alkyl arylpolyglycol ethers, magnesium stearate, sodium oleate, etc.); and/or dispersing agents, such as lignin, sulfite waste liquors, methyl cellulose, etc.
Such active compounds may be employed alone or in the form of mixtures with one another and/or with such solid and/or liquid dispersible carrier vehicles and/or with other known compatible active agents, especially plant protection agents, such as other insecticides and acaricides, or rodenticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematocides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth-regulating agents, etc., if desired, or in the form of particular dosage preparations for specific application made therefrom, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes, and granules which are thus ready for use.
As concerns commercially marketed preparations, these generally contemplate carrier composition mixtures in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 0.1-95% by weight, and preferably 0.5-90% by weight, of the mixture, whereas carrier composition mixtures suitable for direct application or field application generally contemplate those in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 0.0001-10%, preferably 0.01-1%, by weight of the mixture. Thus, the present invention contemplates over-all compositions which comprises mixtures of a conventional dispersible carrier vehicle such as (1) a dispersible inert finely divided carrier solid, and/or (2) a dispersible carrier liquid such as an inert organic solvent and/or water preferably including a surface-active effective amount of a carrier vehicle assistant, e.g. a surface-active agent, such as an emulsifying agent and/or a dispersing agent, and an amount of the active compound which is effective for the purpose in question and which is generally between about 0.0001-95%, and preferably 0.01-95%, by weight of the mixture.
The active compounds can also be used in accordance with the well known ultra-low-volume process with good success, i.e. by applying such compound if normally a liquid, or by applying a liquid composition containing the same, via very effective atomizing equipment, in finely divided form, e.g. average particle diameter of from 50-100 microns, or even less, i.e. mist form, for example by airplane crop spraying techniques. Only up to at most about a few liters/hectare are needed, and often amounts only up to about 15 to 1000 g/hectare, preferably 40 to 600 g/hectare, are sufficient. In this process it is possible to use highly concentrated liquid compositions with said liquid carrier vehicles containing from about 20 to about 95% by weight of the active compound or even the 100% active substance alone, e.g. about 20-100% by weight of the active compound.
Furthermore, the present invention contemplates methods of selectively killing, combating or controlling pests, e.g. insects and acarids, which comprises applying to at least one of correspondingly (a) such insects, (b) such acarids, and (c) the corresponding habitat thereof, i.e. the locus to be protected, a correspondingly combative or toxic amount, i.e. an insecticidally or acaricidally effective amount, of the particular active compound of the invention alone or together with a carrier vehicle as noted above. The instant formulations or compositions are applied in the usual manner, for instance by spraying, atomizing, vaporizing, scattering, dusting, watering, squirting, sprinkling, pouring, fumigating, and the like.
It will be realized, of course, that the concentration of the particular active compound utilized in admixture with the carrier vehicle will depend upon the intended application. Therefore, in special cases it is possible to go above or below the aforementioned concentration ranges.

Critical concentration test/soil insects
Test insect: Tenebrio molitor larvae in the soil
Solvent: 3 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound was mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier was added and the concentrate was diluted with water to the desired concentration.
The preparation of active compound was intimately mixed with soil. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation was of practically no importance; only the amount by weight of active compound per unit volume of soil, which is given in ppm (for example mg/l), was decisive. The soil as filled into pots and the pots were left to stand at room temperature. After 24 hours, the test insects were introduced into the treated soil and after a further 48 hours the degree of effectiveness of the active compound was determined in % by counting the dead and live test insects. The degree of destruction was 100% if all test insects were killed and was 0% if just as many test insects were still alive as in the case of the control.
