O-alkyl-O-[6-substituted-thio-pyridazin-3-yl]-(thiono) (thiol)-phosphoric (phosphonic) acid esters

The present invention relates to and has for its objects the provision of particular new O-alkyl-O-[6-substituted-thiopyridazin-3-yl]-(thiono) (thiol)-phosphoric (phosphonic) acid esters 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 is known from German Published Specification DOS 1,770,067 that O-pyridazinylthionophosphoric-(phosphonic) acid esters, for example O,O-diethyl-O-[6-oxo-pyridazin(3)yl]-thionophosphoric acid ester (Compound A) and O-ethyl-O-[6-oxo-pyridazin(3)yl]-thiono-methane-(Compound B) and -ethane-phosphonic acid ester (Compound C), possess insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
The present invention provides substituted pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester derivatives of the general formula ##STR2## in which R represents alkyl,
R.sup.1 represents alkyl, alkylthio or alkylamino,
R.sup.2 represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or phenyl which can optionally be monosubstituted or polysubstituted, and
X represents oxygen or sulphur.
Preferably, R represents straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 represents straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atmoms or straight-chain or branched alkylthio or monoalkylamino with 1 to 4 carbon atoms per alkyl moiety, R.sup.2 represents straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkenyl or alkynyl with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl, or alkylthiophenyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkylthio radical, and X represents sulphur.
Surprisingly, the substituted pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester derivatives according to the invention exhibit a better insecticidal and acaricidal action than the corresponding O-pyridazinylthionophosphoric(phosphonic) acid esters of analogous structure and of the same type of action. The products according to the present invention accordingly represent a genuine enrichment of the art.
The invention also provides a process for the preparation of a substituted pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester derivative of the formula (I) in which a (thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester halide or ester-amide halide of the general formula ##STR3## in which R, R.sup.1 and X have the above-mentioned meanings and
Hal represents halogen, preferably chlorine, is reacted with a 3-hydroxy-pyridazine of the formula ##STR4## in which R.sup.2 has the above-mentioned meaning, optionally in the presence of an acid acceptor or in the form of an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt or ammonium salt, optionally in the presence of a solvent or diluent.
If, for example, O,S-diethylthionothiolphosphoric acid diester chloride and 3-hydroxy-6-propargylthio-pyridazine are used as starting materials, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following formula scheme: ##STR5##
The (thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester halides and ester-amide halides (II) are described in the literature and can be prepared in accordance with generally customary processes. The following may be mentioned as individual examples thereof: O,S-dimethyl-, O,S-diethyl-, O,S-di-n-propyl-, O,S-di-iso-propyl-, O,S-di-n-butyl, O,S-di-iso-butyl-, O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-, O-ethyl-S-iso-propyl-, O-ethyl-S-n-butyl-, O-ethyl-S-sec.-butyl-, O-n-propyl-S-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-S-iso-propyl-, O-n-butyl-S-n-propyl- and O-sec.-butyl-S-ethyl-thionothiol-phosphoric acid diester chloride, as well as O-methyl-, O-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-, O-iso-propyl-, O-n-butyl-, O-iso-butyl-, O-sec.-butyl- and O-tert.-butyl-methane-, -ethane-, -n-propane- and -iso-propane-thionophosphonic acid ester chloride, and also O,N-dimethyl-, O,N-diethyl-, O,N-di-n-propyl-, O,N-di-iso-propyl-, O,N-di-n-butyl-, O,N-di-iso-butyl-, O,N-di-sec.-butyl-, O-methyl-N-ethyl-, O-ethyl-N-n-propyl-, O-ethyl-N-iso-propyl-, O-ethyl-N-n-butyl-, O-n-propyl-N-ethyl-, O-n-propyl-N-iso-propyl-, O-n-propyl-N-sec.-butyl-, O-iso-propyl-N-ethyl-, O-iso-propyl-N-n-propyl-, O-iso-propyl-N-n-butyl-, O-n-butyl-N-ethyl-, O-n-butyl-N-n-propyl-, O-n-butyl-N-iso-butyl-, O-sec.-butyl-N-ethyl-, O-sec.-butyl-N-n-propyl- and O-tert.-butyl-N-ethyl-thionophosphoric acid ester-amide chloride.
The 3-hydroxy-pyridazines (III) are known and can be prepared in accordance with generally customary processes. The following may be mentioned as individual examples thereof: 6-methylthio-, 6-ethylthio-, 6-n-propylthio-, 6-isopropylthio-, 6-n-butylthio-, 6-sec.-butylthio-, 6-tert.-butylthio, 6-isobutylthio-, 6-allylthio-, 6-but-2-enylthio-, 6-but-3-enylthio-, 6-phenylthio-, 6-(4-methylthiophenylthio)-, 6-(4-ethylthiophenylthio)-, 6-(4-n-propylthiophenylthio)- and 6-(4-iso-propylthiophenylthio)-3-hydroxy-pyridazine.
The reaction according to the invention is preferably carried out in the presence of a solvent or diluent. Virtually all inert organic solvents can be used for this purpose. These include, in particular, aliphatic and aromatic, optionally chlorinated, hydrocarbons, for example 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, for example acetonitrile and propionitrile.
All customary acid-binding agents can be used as acid acceptors. 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.
The reaction temperature can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out at 0.degree. to 120.degree., preferably at 20.degree. to 60.degree. C.
In general, the reaction is allowed to take place under normal pressure.
For carrying out the process, the starting materials are preferably employed in the equimolar ratio. An excess of one or other component produces no essential advantages. The reactants are in general combined in one of the abovementioned solvents, if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor, and are in most cases stirred for several hours at an elevated temperature to complete the reaction.
Thereafter the batch may be poured into an organic solvent, for example toluene, and the organic phase worked up in the usual manner by washing, drying and distilling off the solvent.
The new compounds are mostly obtained in the form of oils, which in some cases cannot be distilled without decomposition, but can be 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 they can be purified in this way. They are characterized by the refractive index. Some compounds are crystalline and possess a sharp melting point.
As already mentioned, the substituted pyridazinyl(thiono)(thiol)-phosphoric(phosphonic) acid ester derivatives according to the invention are distinguished by an excellent insecticidal and acaricidal activity. They are not only active against plant pests but also against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, and combine a low phytotoxicity with a good action against both sucking and biting insects and mites.
For this reason, the compounds according to the invention can be employed successfully as pesticides in plant protection as well as in the hygiene field and the field of protection of stored products.

When used against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compounds are distinguished by an excellent 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 vehicles such as gases, solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, foams, pastes, soluble powders, granules, aerosols, suspension-emulsion concentrates, seed-treatment powders, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions, for use on seed, and formulations used with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges, fumigating cans, fumigating coils and the like, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.
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 halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide; 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, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, 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 solid carriers, ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules; crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules or inorganic and organic meals, and granules or organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; 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.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, can be used in the formulations.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
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 nematicides, fungicides, 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 0.0000001-100, preferably 0.01-10%, by weight of the mixture. Thus, the present invention contemplates overall compositions which comprise mixtures of a conventional dispersible carrier 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, 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 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.

The unexpected superiority and outstanding activity of the particular new compounds of the present invention are illustrated, without limitation, by the following examples:

The mixture was then stirred for 6 hours at 45.degree. C., cooled and mixed with 400 ml of toluene. This mixture was extracted by shaking twice with 300 ml of water at a time, the toluene solution was dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent was distilled off in vacuo. The residue was triturated with petroleum ether and after crystallization the product was filtered off. 17 g (61% of theory) of O-iso-propyl-O-[6-methylthiopyridazin-3-yl]-methanethionophosphonic acid ester were thus obtained in the form of a beige powder of melting point 51.degree. C.
The following compounds of the formula ##STR65## were prepared analogously:
