Novel amide derivatives, processes for production thereof, and agricultural-horticultural fungicide containing them

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an amide derivative represented by the following general formula (I) ##STR2## wherein one of X and Y represents a sulfur atom and the other represents a carbon atom, Z represents a nitrile or thioamide group, each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a halomethyl group or a phenyl group, and R.sup.3 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, a haloalkenyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, a furyl group, a thienyl group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkynyloxy group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkynylthio group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, a pyrazolyl group, or an unsubstituted or halo-substituted phenyl group; processes for producing the amide derivative; an agricultural-horticultural fungicide comprising the amide derivative as an active ingredient; and to an agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition comprising the amide derivative of general formula (I) as a first active ingredient and at least one member selected from the group consisting of acylalanine fungicides having the action of controlling plant diseases caused by Oomycetes, dithiocarbamate fungicides, N-haloalkylthioimide fungicides, inorganic copper fungicides, tetrachloroisophthalonitrile, dichlofluanide and fluazinam.
Heretofore, compounds having various chemical structures have been used as agricultural-horticultural fungicides, and greatly contributed to the control of plant diseases and consequently to the development of agriculture. But these conventional fungicidal chemicals have not proved to have sufficient controlling activity and safety. For example, some of dithiocarbamate fungicides such as zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) [zineb], manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) [maneb], a complex of manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) and zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate [mancozeb] and dizinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate) ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) [polycarbamate], N-haloalkyl thioimide fungicides such as N-trichloromethylthio-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboximide [captan], N-1',1',2',2'-tetrachloroethylthio-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboximide [captafol] and N-trichloromethylthiophthalimide [folpet], inorganic copper fungicides such as cupric sulfate, basic cupric sulfate, basic cupric chloride and cupric hydroxide, tetrachloroisophthalonitrile [TPN], N-(dichlorofluoromethylthio)-N',N-dimethyl-N-phenylsulfamide[dichlofluanide] and 3-chloro-N-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyl)-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylaniline [fluazinam] show an outstanding control efficacy on diseases of plants such as fruit trees and vegetables and are widely used as agricultural-horticultural fungicides. However, these chemicals mainly exhibit a preventive effect and are not expected to produce a curative effect. Hence, they have the serious defect that when a plant disease is seen to occur, these chemicals are not expected to give a sufficient efficacy. When chemical application for controlling plant diseases is considered in an actual situation, the chemicals are more or less sprayed after the occurrence of plant disease symptoms, and the above-cited chemicals are difficult of controlling the diseases completely. Furthermore, the concentrations of these chemicals at which they exhibit a control effect are very high so that they are difficult to use safely, and some of these chemicals have an unnegligible toxicity to fish.
In order to eliminate these defects, extensive research work has been done on new controlling agents. For example, acylalanine fungicides, such as N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(2'-methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester [metalaxyl], N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(2-furoyl)alanine methyl ester [furalaxyl], N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(phenylacetyl)alanine methyl ester [benalaxyl], (2-chloroacetamide [ofurace] and 2-methoxy-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)acetamide [oxadixyl] were developed as controlling agents on plant diseases caused by Oomycetes which also have an excellent curative effect have been developed and come into practical use worldwide. It has already been pointed out that resistant strain to these chemicals have appeared and their control effect have consequently decreased.
Many active benzylamide compounds have been discovered and used as herbicides or fungicides. For example, known substituted benzamide derivatives include ethyl N-benzoyl-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-aminopropionate [benzoylprop ethyl] as herbicide, and N-(3-isopropoxyphenyl)-2-methylbenzamide [mepronil] as fungicide.
BP-2094786, BP-2095237, and BP-2107308 disclose a herbicide and a fungicide comprising a substituted benzylamide derivative having a 4-pyridylcarbonyl, 2-furylcarbonyl, 2-thienylcarbonyl or 2-benzofurylcarbonyl group, but its phytotoxicity on crop plants is a problem.
It is an object of this invention to provide a compound being free from the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and having excellent properties as an agricultural-horticultural fungicide; processes for production thereof, and an agricultural-horticultural fungicide comprising the compound as an active ingredient, and an agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition comprising the compound as a first active ingredient and a specific known fungicidal compound as a second active ingredient. More specifically, the invention provides a compound which has a preventive and a curative effect on a wide range of plant diseases such as diseases of fruit trees and vegetables, shows an excellent control effect against resistant fungi, has a wide range of applicability and a long residual effect, does not show phytotoxicity on crop plants, and possesses very low toxicity on warm-blooded animals and fish; simple processes for production thereof in high yields; an agricultural-horticultural fungicide comprising the compound as an active ingredient; and an agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition comprising the compound as a first ingredient and a specific known fungicidal compound as a second active ingredient.
We worked extensively on acylamide derivatives in order to achieve the above object, and have found that amide derivatives having a thiazole or isothiazole ring have biological activity which cannot at all be anticipated from the above-exemplified compounds and an excellent controlling effect on a wide range of plant diseases; and that particularly, these amide derivatives have both a preventive and a curative effect in controlling various crop diseases such as late blight and downy mildew.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The processes for producing the amide derivatives of the invention are shown by the following reaction schemes (a) to (c).
Reaction scheme (a) ##STR12##
In this scheme, the amide derivative of general formula (IV) can be produced by reacting the heterocyclic 5-membered carboxylic acid of general formula (II) or its reactive derivative (such as an acid chloride or an acid anhydride) with the aminoacetonitrile of general formula (III) or its salt. Various methods are available in performing the reaction in scheme (a), and will be described below with reference to the following reaction schemes (a)-1 to (a)-5.
Reaction scheme (a)-1
Method comprising converting the carboxylic acid into a chloride and reacting it with the aminoacetonitrile: ##STR13##
Usually, the carboxylic acid derivative (II) is heated in an excess of thionyl chloride. After the reaction, the excess of thionyl chloride is evaporated to obtain the acid chloride. Sometimes, the reaction does not proceed well in thionyl chloride. In such a case, the carboxylic acid (II) is treated with a nearly equivalent weight of phosphorus pentachloride in an inert solvent. This makes the reaction proceed smoothly. After the reaction, low-boiling materials are evaporated to give the acid chloride. The resulting acid chloride is reacted in an inert solvent with the aminoacetonitrile (III) or its salt in the presence of an equivalent weight, or a slightly excessive amount, of a base to give the amide derivative (IV) easily. When the salt of the aminoacetonitile is used, the base is additionally supplied in an amount required to neutralize the salt. The inert solvent is inert to the chloride and the aminoacetonitrile. Specific examples are ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and ligroin, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, esters such as ethyl acetate and ethyl propionate, and aprotic polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidinone. Pyridine may be used as the base and the solvent. Examples of the base may be organic bases such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline, pyridine and DBU, and inorganic bases such as ammonia, potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium hydroxide and ammonium carbonate, although these examples are not limitative. It is not desirable to perform this reaction at too high temperatures because the thermal stability of the intermediate aminoacetonitrile derivative (III) is low. Preferred reaction temperatures are 10.degree. to 50.degree. C. After the dropwise addition of the aminoacetonitrile derivative (III), the mixture is continuously stirred at room temperature in order to complete the reaction. The reaction time, which varies depending upon the reaction temperature, is usually 0.5 to 4 hours. After the reaction, the crude reaction product is obtained by a customary method. The resulting desired amide derivative can be easily isolated and purified by a conventional method such as recrystallization or column chromatography.
Reaction scheme (a)-2
Method comprising reacting an anhdyride of the carboxylic with the aminoacetonitrile. ##STR14##
The amide derivative (IV) can be obtained by carrying out the same reaction as in reaction scheme (a)-1 except that the acid anhydride is used instead of the acid chloride.
Reaction scheme (a)-3
Method comprising reacting a mixed acid anhydride of the carboxylic acid with the aminoacetonitrile. ##STR15##
(In the above scheme, R.sup.4 represents a lower alkyl group.)
The carboxylic acid derivative (II) is dissolved in an organic solvent, and in the presence of a base, a chloroformate ester is added to form a mixed acid anhydride. Addition of the aminoacetonitrile (III) to the mixed acid anhydride gives the amide derivative (IV). The organic solvent and the base may be quite the same as those used in the reaction of scheme (a)-1. The reaction temperature is -50.degree. to 20.degree. C., preferably -10.degree. to 10.degree. C., for the reaction of the carboxylic acid with the chloroformate, and 0.degree. to 50.degree. C., preferably 10.degree. to 30.degree. C., for the reaction of the mixed anhydride with the aminoacetonitrile. The isolation and purification of the final product can be easily carried out in accordance with a conventional method as in the case of reaction scheme (a)-1.
Reaction Scheme (a)-4
Method comprising using carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). ##STR16##
The carboxylic acid derivative (II) is dissolved in an organic solvent, and carbonyldiimidazole is added. Then, at 0.degree. to 50.degree. C., preferably 0.degree. to 30.degree. C., the aminoacetonitrile (III) is added to give the amide derivative (IV). The organic solvent used may be the same as that used in the reaction of reaction scheme (a)-1. The isolation and purification of the final product can be easily carried out in a customary manner in the same way as described with regard to the reaction in reaction scheme (a)-1.
Reaction Scheme (a)-5
Method comprising using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). ##STR17##
The carboxylic acid derivative (II) is dissolved in an organic solvent, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is added to the solution. While the solution is cooled with ice water, the aminoacetonitrile (III) is added to give the amide derivative. The organic solvent used in this reaction may be the same as those exemplified with regard to reaction scheme (a)-1. The isolation and purification of the final product can be carried out easily by a conventional method.
In addition to the reactions shown in reaction schemes (a)-1 to (a)-5, methods usually employed in the field of peptide synthesis may be used for the production of the amide derivatives of the invention.
Where R.sup.3 in general formula (IV) is an alkoxy, alkylthio, alkynyloxy, alkynylthio or pyrazolyl group, the amide derivative (IV) can be produced by the following process (b).
Process (b) ##STR18##
An N-cyanomethylcarboxylic acid amide (V) corresponding to formula (IV) in which R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom is very important as a synthesis intermediate for a compound of general formula (IV) in which R.sup.3 represents an alkyloxy, alkylthio, alkynyloxy, alkynylthio or pyrazolyl group.
Treatment of the N-cyanomethylcarboxylic acid amide (V) with a halogenating agent in a suitable solvent gives a halogenated intermediate (VI). Bromine or N-bromosuccimide may be used as the halogenating agent. Examples of the solvent are aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and 1,4-dichloroethane, and aliphatic carboxylic acid esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate and ethyl propionate. The reaction temperature is 20.degree. to 80.degree. C., preferably 30.degree. to 50.degree. C . This reaction may be carried out in an atmosphere of an inert gas. Since the halogenation intermediate (VI) is unstable, it is immediately reacted with HR.sup.3 (VII). This reaction is carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor. Examples of the acid acceptor are tertiary amines such as triethylamine and dimethylaniline, although they are not limitative. Desirably, this reaction is carried out in a solvent or diluent. It is desirable to avoid high temperatures in carrying out this reaction because the thermal stability of the intermediate is low. Desirably, it is carried out under cooling because it is exothermic. The desired amide derivative (IV) may be purified in a customary manner by recrystallization, column chromatography, etc.
A compound of formula (VIII) corresponding to a compound (I) in which Z is a thioamide group may be carried out by the following process (c).
Process (c) ##STR19##
The thioamide derivative (VIII) can be obtained by treating the compound (IV) with gaseous hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a tertiary amine in an inert solvent, for example aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and 1,4-dichloroethane, or aliphatic carboxylic acid esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate and ethyl propionate. The isolation and purification of the desired product may be easily carried out in a customary manner by recrystallization, column chromatography, etc.
Methods of synthesizing the heterocyclic 5-membered carboxylic acid (II) as the starting material used in this invention are described below by citing references.
(1) Thiazole-4-carboxylic acids (Journal of Chemical Society, 1946, page 87) ##STR20##
(2) Thiazole-5-carboxylic acids (Chemical Abstracts, vol. 40, page 4056) ##STR21## This is the so-called Hantzsch reaction.
(3) Isothiazolecarboxylic acids (Journal of Chemical Society, 1959, page 3061) ##STR22##
(4) 2-Halogenothiazole-5-carboxylic acids (Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 22, page 1621, 1985) ##STR23##
The aminoacetonitrile (III) can be easily obtained by the so-called Strecker reaction shown below. ##STR24## (In the above scheme, Hal represents a halogen atom.)
Specifically, it can be obtained easily by reacting an aldehyde of general formula (IX) with hydrogen cyanide [(X), M.dbd.H] or an alkali metal cyanide [(X), M=alkali metal] and ammonia or ammonium chloride in water or in a two-layer system composed of water and an organic solvent. The sequence of adding the aldehyde (IX), the cyanide (X) and ammonia or ammonium chloride is arbitrary. In any case, this reaction proceeds more efficiently in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The resulting aminoacetonitrile is desirably submitted to the next step immediately because it is unstable. If, however, it is converted to a mineral acid salt, it becomes a stable solid and can be stored for a long period of time.
The present invention further provides an agricultural-horticultural fungicide comprising a diluent or a carrier and/or an adjuvant, and as an active ingredient, an effective amount of at least one amide derivative represented by the following general formula (I) ##STR25## wherein one of X and Y represents a sulfur atom and the other represents a carbon atom, Z represents a nitrile or thioamide group, each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a halomethyl group or a phenyl group, and R.sup.3 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, a haloalkenyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, a furyl group, a thienyl group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkynyloxy group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkynylthio group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, a pyrazolyl group, or an unsubstituted or halo-substituted phenyl group.

The inoculated pots were maintained in a humid chamber at 20.degree. C. for 24 hours, and then transferred to a greenhouse (18.degree. to 27.degree. C.). Ten days and 18 days later, the degree of formation of lesions was examined. The lesion index was determined as in Test Example 1. The results are shown in Table 6.
TEXT EXAMPLE 9
Test for Controlling Tomato Early Blight
A chemical in a predetermined concentration (obtained by preparing a wettable powder of each test compound in accordance with Formulation Example 18 and diluting it with water to the predetermined concentration) was sprayed on tomato (variety: "sekaiichi"; plant height about 20 cm) grown in pots in a greenhouse at a rate of 50 ml per three pots by using a spray gun (1.0 kg/cm.sup.2), and dried in the air. A spore suspension of Alternaria solani cultured in a PSA medium, and inoculated on tamato greenhouse (25.degree. to 33.degree. C.), and 10 days later, the degree of formation of lesions was examined. The lesion index was determined as in Test Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 7.
The results given in Table 3 demonstrate that the compounds of this invention shows a excellent control effect against plant diseases induced by Oomycetes, such as potato late blight, tomato late blight and cucumber downy mildew, not only in spraying but also in soil drench, whereas control compounds M and N considered to be relatively similar to the compounds of this invention show little or no control effect on these plant diseases. Furthermore, the compounds of this invention show a preventive effect at much lower dosages than zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbmate) and tetrachloroisophthalonitrile commercially available and widely used against these plant diseases, and have a curative effect which these two commercial chemicals do not have. Accordingly, the compounds of this invention can exhibit a good control effect even when they are applied after crops have been infected with these diseases. Thus, this can greatly change the disease conrol system for agricultural and horticultural crops, and will evidently contribute greatly to labor saving on the part of the grower. Since the compounds of this invention have a good control effect when applied by soil drench, and enable that part of a plant which the chemical is not expected to reach by spraying alone to be protected from diseases.
The results given in Tables 4 and 5 show that the agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition in accordance with this invention shows a very superior control effect at lower dosages than in the case of using the dithiocarbamates, N-haloalkylthioimides, inorganic copper fungicides, TPN, thiazole derivatives and isothiazole derivatives as the active ingredients. Evidently, the synergistic effect owing to mixing is noted and the residual effect is very much strengthened.
The results given in Table 7 show that the agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition has an excellent control effect on a broad range of plant diseases induced by plant pathogenic fungi, such as Alternaria solani, Pseudoperonospora cubenis and Colletotrichum lagenarium which are taxonomically remote from each other. This means that in the cultivation of crops the application of the agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition can control a plurality of simultaneously occurring plant diseases which are difficult to control simultaneously by conventional fungicidal compounds.
As shown in Table 6, the agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition has an excellent control effect against a wide range of plant diseases induced by Oomycetes whose resistance to fungicidal chemicals is a serious problem. Specifically, the agricultural-horticultural fungicidal composition of this invention shows a much better control effect at lower dosages than in the case of singly using acylalanine fungicides (such as metalaxyl, furalaxyl, benalaxyl, oxadixyl, ofurace and cyprofuram), thiazoles derivaives and isothiazole derivatives, the active ingredients of this composition. Evidently, a synergistic effect is exhibited as a result of mixing.
