The present invention relates to and has for its objects the provision of particular new substituted O-alkyl-O-[6-substituted-pyridazin(3)yl]-(thiono) (thiol)alkanephosphonic acid esters which possess insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal and fungicidal 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, acarids, nematodes and fungi, with other and further objects becoming apparent from a study of the within specification and accompanying examples.
It is known from U.S. Pat. No. 2,759,938 and German Published Specification Dos No. 2,049,813 that substituted pyridazinylthionophosphoric(phosphonic)acid esters, for example, O,O-diethyl-O-[6-hydroxy-(Compound A) or 6-chloro- (Compound B) or 6-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy-pyridazin(3)yl]-thionophosphoric acid ester (Compound C), and from published Netherlands Patent application No. 6,904,664 O-ethyl-O-[1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-pyridazin(3)yl]-thionomethane-(Compound D) and ethanephosphonic acid ester (Compound E), have insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
The present invention provides, as new compounds, the pyridazinyl(thiono) (thiol)phosphonic acid esters of the general formula ##STR2## in which X and Y each independently is oxygen or sulfur,
R.sub.1 is alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
R.sub.2 is alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R.sub.3 is alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkynyloxy with 2 to 5 carbon atoms, alkylsulfonyloxy with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, monoalkylcarbamoyloxy with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, halogen, benzyloxy, benzoyloxy, phenoxy, or phenoxy carrying at least one substituent selected from halogen, nitro, cyano, -SO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, -SO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Cl, and alkyl, halogenalkyl or alkylthio, each with up to 3 carbon atoms, and
R.sub.4 is hydrogen or alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Preferably, X represents sulfur, Y represents oxygen, R.sub.1 represents straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 represents straight-chain or branched alkoxy with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, straight-chain or branched alkynyloxy with 3 or 4 carbon atoms, chlorine, bromine, methylsulfonyloxy, ethylsulfonyloxy, N-methyl-carbamoyloxy or N-ethylcarbamoyloxy, benzoyloxy or benzyloxy or represents phenyloxy which preferably carries one, two or three substituents selected from chlorine, nitro, cyano, methyl, ethyl, methylthio, ethylthio and trifluoromethyl, the substituents not necessarily being identical in the case of di- or trisubstitution, and R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, methyl or ethyl.
Surprisingly, the pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)phosphonic acid esters according to the invention show a better insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal action than the corresponding known substituted pyridazinylthionophosphoric(phosphonic) acid esters of analogous structure and of the same type of action. The products according to the present invention thus represent a genuine enrichment of the art.
The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of a pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)phosphonic acid ester of the formula (I) in which (a) a (thiono)(thiol)phosphonic acid ester halide of the general formula ##STR3## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, X and Y have the above-mentioned meanings and
Hal represents halogen, preferably chlorine, is reacted with a 1,6dihydro-6-oxo-pyridazine derivative of the general formula ##STR4## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 have the above-mentioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor or, if appropriate in the form of a corresponding alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt or ammonium salt, and optionally in the presence of a solvent,
or (b) provided that a compound of the formula (I) in which R.sub.3 represents alkylsulfonyloxy or benzoyloxy is required, a pyridazinyl (thiono)(thiol)phosphonic acid ester of the general formula ##STR5## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4, X and Y have the above-mentioned meanings, is reacted with an acyl halide of the general formula
R.sub.5 Hal.sub.2 (V),
in which
R.sub.5 represents alkylsulfonyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms or benzoyl, and
Hal.sub.2 represents halogen, preferably chlorine,
if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and, if appropriate, in the presence of a solvent, or (c) provided that a compound of the formula (I) in which R.sub.3 represents monoalkylcarbamoyloxy is required, a compound of the formula (IV) is reacted with an alkyl isocyanate of the general formula
Alk-NCO (VI),
in which
Alk represents alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst and, if appropriate, in the presence of a solvent.
If, for example, following process variant (a), S-ethylthiolethanephosphonic acid chloride and 3-hydroxy-6-N-ethylcarbamoyloxypyridazine are used, or following process variant (b), O-ethyl-O-[6-hydroxy-pyridazin(3)yl]-n-propanephosphonic acid diester and benzoyl chloride are used, or following process variant (c), O-ethyl-O-[6-hydroxy-pyridazin(3)yl]-thionoethanephosphonic acid ester and ethyl isocyanate are used as the starting materials, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equations: ##STR6##
The (thiono)(thiol)phosphonic acid ester halides (II) and pyridazinyl(thiono)thiol)phosphonic acid esters (IV) to be used as starting materials are known and can be prepared in accordance with customary processes (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,167,574, Belgian Pat. No. 671,913 and Netherlands Pat. Application 6,904,664).
The following may be mentioned as specific examples: O-methyl-, O-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-, O-isopropyl-, O-n-butyl-, O-isobutyl-, O-sec.-butyl-, O-tert.-butyl- and O-n-pentylmethane-, ethane-, n-propane- and isopropane-phosphonic acid ester chlorides and the corresponding thiono analogues; S-methyl-, S-ethyl-, S-n-propyl-, S-isopropyl-, S-n-butyl-, S-isobutyl-, S-sec.-butyl-, S-tert.-butyl- and S-n-pentylmethane-, ethane-, n-propane- and isopropane-thiolphosphonic acid ester chlorides and the corresponding thiono analogues; O-methyl-, O-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-, O-isopropyl-, O-n-butyl-, O-isobutyl-, O-sec.-butyl-, O-tert.-butyl- and O-n-pentyl-O-[4- or 5-methyl-6-hydroxypyridazin(3)yl]-methane-, ethane-, n-propane- and isopropane-phosphonic acid esters and the corresponding thiono analogues; O-methyl-, O-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-, O-isopropyl-, O-n-butyl-, O-isobutyl-, O-sec.-butyl-, O-tert.-butyl- and O-n-pentyl-O-[6-hydroxypyridazin(3)yl]-methane-, ethane-, n-propane- and isopropane-phosphonic acid esters and the corresponding thiono analogues; and S-methyl-, S-ethyl-, S-n-propyl-, S-isopropyl-, S-n-butyl-, S-isobutyl-, S-sec.-butyl-, S-tert.-butyl- and S-n-pentyl-O-[6-hydroxy-pyridazin(3)yl]-thiol-methane-, ethane-, n-propane- and isopropanephosphonic acid esters, the corresponding thiono analogues and, in each case, the compounds substituted by methyl in the pyridazine ring in the 4- or 5-position.
3-Hydroxypyridazine derivatives (III) are known and they can be prepared in accordance with customary processes, for example, if R.sub.3 represents alkylsulfonyloxy, by reacting the known 1,6-dihydroxypyridazine with alkylsulfonic acid halide. For further processes for the preparation of the known 3-hydroxypyridazine derivatives (III) see, for example: T. Jojima and Takeshiba, Agr. Biol. Chem. 38, 1169-1176 (1974); T. Nakagome, yakugaku Zasshi, 82, 1005 (1962), J. Druey, K. Meier and K. Eichenberger, Helv. Chim. Acta 37, 121-133 (1954) and Belgian Patent Specification 813,225.
The following may be mentioned as specific examples: 6-chloro-, 6-bromo-, 6-methylsulfonyloxy-, 6-ethylsulfonyloxy-, 6-methoxy-, 6-ethoxy-, 6-n-propoxy-, 6-isopropoxy-, 6-propargyloxy-, 6-N-methyl-carbamoyloxy-, 6-N-ethylcarbamoyloxy-, 6-benzyloxy-, 6-benzoyloxy-, 6-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyloxy)-, 6-(2,4-dichlorophenyloxy)-, 6-(2,5-dichlorophenyloxy)-, 6-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyloxy)-, 6-(2-methylthiophenyloxy)-, 6-(2-ethylthiophenyloxy)-, 6-(4-methylthio- and 4-ethylthiophenyloxy)-, 6-(2-nitro- and 4-nitro-phenyloxy)-, 6-(4-cyanophenyloxy)-, 6-(2- and 4-methyl- and -ethyl-phenyloxy)-, 6-(2,4-dimethylphenyloxy)-, 6-(2,4-diethyl-phenyloxy)-, 6-(3-methyl-4-methylthiophenyloxy)-and 6-(3-ethyl-4-methylthiophenyloxy)-3-oxo-pyridazine and the corresponding derivatives which are substituted by methyl or ethyl in the 4- or 5-position in the pyridazine ring.
The acyl halides (V) and the alkyl isocyanates (VI) are known and can be prepared in accordance with generally customary processes described in the literature.
The following may be mentioned specifically as examples of these compounds: methylsulfonyl chloride, ethylsulfonyl chloride and benzoyl chloride, and methyl isocyanate, ethyl isocyanate, n-propyl isocyanate and isopropyl isocyanate.
The process variants (a) to (c) for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention are preferably carried out in the presence of suitable solvents and diluents. Practically all inert organic solvents can be used for this purpose, especially aliphatic and aromatic, optionally chlorinated, hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, benzine, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene; ethers, for example diethyl ether, dibutyl ether and dioxane; ketones, for example acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone; and nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionitrile.
All customary acid-binding agents may be used as acid acceptors in process variants (a) and (b).
Alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, sodium methylate and ethylate and potassium methylate and ethylate, have proved particularly suitable, as have aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amines, for example triethylamine, trimethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylbenzylamine and pyridine. Process variant (c) can optionally be carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tert. organic base, for example diazabicyclooctane or triethylamine.
In all process variants, the reaction temperature can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out at between 0.degree. and 120.degree. C., preferably at from 10.degree. to 60.degree. C.
The reaction is in general allowed to take place under normal pressure.
To carry out variants (a) and (b), the reactants are preferably employed in equimolar amounts. An excess of one or other component produces no significant advantages. In process variant (c), the alkyl isocyanate component is preferably added in 10 to 15% excess.
In all variants, the reaction is in general carried out in one of the above-mentioned solvents at the stated temperatures. After completion of the reaction, the batch can be worked up as described below. In process variant (a) the reaction mixture is filtered and then poured into an organic solvent, and the organic layer is worked up in the usual manner, while in process variants (b) and (c) the reaction solution is worked up directly, for example by washing, drying and stripping off the solvent, or by directly distilling off the latter.
The new compounds are mostly obtained in the form of oils, which frequently cannot be distilled without decomposition, but are freed from the last volatile constituents by so-called "slight distillation", that is to say by prolonged heating under reduced pressure to moderately elevated temperatures, and are purified in this way. They are characterized by the refractive index. Some of the compounds are obtained in a crystalline form; these are characterized by their melting points.
As already mentioned, the pyridazinyl(thiono)thiol)phosphonic acid esters according to the invention are distinguished by an excellent insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal activity. They are active against plant pests, pests harmful to health and pests of stored products and combine a low phytotoxicity with a good action against both sucking and biting insects and against mites; most of the compounds furthermore exhibit a fungicidal action.
For this reason, the compounds according to the invention can be employed successfully as pesticides in plant protection and also in the hygiene field and the field of protection of stored products.
To the sucking insects there belong, in the main, aphids (Aphididae) 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 addition, 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 process products 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 invention couple a low toxicity to warm-blooded animals with powerful nematicidal properties and can therefore be used to combat nematodes, especially phytopathogenic nematodes. These essentially include leaf nematodes (Arphelenchoides), such as the chrysanthemum eelworm (A. ritzemabosi), the leaf-bloth eelworm (A.fragariae) and the rice eelworm (A. oryzae); stem nematodes (Ditylenchus), such as the stem eelworm (D. Dipsaci); root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne), such as M. arenaria and M. incognita; cyst-forming nematodes (Heterodera), such as the potato cyst eelworm (H. rostochiensis) and the beet cyst eelworm (H. schachtii); and also free-living root nematodes, for example of the genera Pratylenchus, Paratylenchus, Rotylenchus, Xiphinema and Radopholus.
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 vehicles 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. kaolins, clays, alumina, 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, acaricides, nematicides and fungicides, or bactericides, rodenticides, 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 overall compositions which comprise 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.
When used against nematodes, the preparations are generally applied to an area of agriculture in amounts of 1 to 100 kg of active compound per hectare, and are then incorporated into the soil.
Furthermore, the present invention contemplates methods of selectively killing, combating or controlling pests, e.g. insects, acarids, nematodes and fungi, and more particularly methods of combating insects, acarids and nematodes, which comprises applying to at least one of correspondingly (a) such insects, (b) such acarids, (c) such nematodes, (d) such fungi, and (e) the corresponding habitat thereof, i.e. the locus to be protected, e.g. to a growing crop, to an area where a crop is to be grown or to a domestic animal, a correspondingly combative or toxic amount, i.e. an insecticidally, acaricidally, nematocidally or fungicidally 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, dressing, encrusting, 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.
The unexpected superiority and outstanding activity of the particular new compounds of the present invention are illustrated, without limitation, by the following examples:
