Pesticidal 2-acylamino-4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazoles

Description

The present invention relates to new 2-acylamino-4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazole derivatives, to several processes for their preparation, to their use in pesticides and to some new intermediates.
It is known that thiazoles which are substituted by, for example, hydroxyphenoxy, are employed in medicine for the treatment of tumors (cf. WO 88/00944).
Furthermore, it is known that 2,4-dichloro-5-nitro-thiazole has a microbicidal, above all fungicidal, action in plant protection (cf. DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,518,520).
Thiazole derivatives, such as, for example, 4,5-dichloro-2-propinyloxy-thiazole, are also known as synergists (cf. DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,030,661).
Furthermore, 2-acetamino-4-iodo-5-nitrothiazole, inter alia, is known as a starting material for 2-amino-4-alkylsulphonyl-5-nitrothiazole-azo derivatives which are used as dyes (cf. US 2,852,504 and US 2,839,523).
Furthermore, phenoxycarboxamides are known which can, inter alia, also contain a thiazole radical. These compounds are known as herbicides (cf. DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,101,889).
Furthermore, it is known that certain substituted thiazoles, such as, for example, 4-benzimidazol-2-ylthiazole (thiabendazol) are used as fungicides in the protection of materials (cf., for example, R. Wegler "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel [Chemistry of Plant Protection Agents, and Pesticides]", Vol. 2, p. 124 and Vol. 3, p. 292; Springer Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, N.Y. 1970).
However, the range of action of these previously known compounds is not complete, and the microbicidal activity is not always satisfactory in certain fields of indication.

If, for example, 4-chloro-2-(N-chlorocarbonyl-N-methyl)-amino-5-nitrothiazole and methanol are used as starting substances, the course of process (e) according to the invention can be represented by the following equation: ##STR15##
Some of the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazoles of the formula (II) which are required as starting materials in process (a) according to the invention are known, for example those compounds of the formula (II) in which Hal=Hal.sup.1 =bromine: Chem. Abstr. 61: 3087 f and in which
Hal Hal.sup.1 =chlorine, cf. DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,518,520.
The two compounds which have been mentioned are producible for example by nitrating the corresponding 2,4-dihalogenothiazoles.
Compounds of the formula (II A) ##STR16## in which
Hal' and Hal.sup.1' independently of one another represent chlorine, iodine or fluorine, with the proviso that the two Hal substituents must not simultaneously be chlorine,
are the subject-matter of a German Appl.P 38 24 520.5, filed July 20, 1988, corresponding to U.S. Appl., S.N. 378,894 filed July 12, 1989, now pending. These substances also show a microbicidal action when used in the appropriate use concentrations.
Compounds of the formula (IIA) in which
Hal'=Hal.sup.1' =iodine or
Hal'=chlorine and Hal.sup.1 =iodine or
Hal'=iodine and Hal.sup.1' =chlorine or
Hal'=chlorine and Hal.sup.1' =fluorine, for example are new. Thus, the iodine compounds are obtained by reacting 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole with metal iodides, in particular sodium iodide, in lower aliphatic ketones, in particular acetone, as solvents, according to the following equations: ##STR17##
The two isomeric chloro-iodo-nitrothiazoles are formed beside each other and can be separated by fractional crystallization and/or by chromatographic methods. In general, the reaction temperature is between 0.degree. C. and 130.degree. C., preferably between 10.degree. C. and 90.degree. C.
Compounds of the formula (II A) in which at least one of the halogens is fluorine, for example Hal.sup.1 =fluorine and Hal'=chlorine, that is to say, 4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-nitrothiazole, can be prepared by reacting 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole with metal fluorides, in particular sodium fluoride or potassium fluoride, in lower aliphatic nitriles, in particular in acetonitrile or propionitrile, as solvents in the presence of catalytic amounts of crown ethers, in particular of [18]crown-6. The reaction temperature is 0.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., preferably 10.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. The process is carried out using 2-15 moles of metal fluoride, preferably 3-12 moles of metal fluoride per mole of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole.
The nucleophiles of the formula (III) which are furthermore required as starting materials in process (a) according to the invention ar basically known. In the event that specific compounds have not been described yet, they can h=prepared by known processes.
Suitable solvents for carrying out process (a) according to the invention are, in particular, aprotic, dipolar solvents, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide,N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone,N-methylcaprolactam, tetramethylurea, N'N'-dimethyl-1,3-imidazolidin-2-one, hexamethylphosphoric trisamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethyl sulphone and also tetramethylene sulphone (=sulpholane).
In process (a) according to the invention, the reaction temperature can be varied in wide ranges. In general, the process is carried out at between -20.degree. C. and +150.degree. C., preferably at 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
As a rule, the reactions are carried out under atmospheric pressure, but they can also be carried out in closed vessels in which then a correspondingly higher pressure is established depending on the nature of the solvent and on the temperature.
In general, an acid-binding agent is required for binding the hydrogen halide which is liberated in process (a) according to the invention, as shown in the equation, but it is also possible to carry out the process without such an agent. Examples which can be used for this purpose are: alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates or alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, or else alkali metal hydrides, preferably sodium hydride.
It is also possible to directly react metal salts, preferably alkali metal salts, of the particular nucleophile of the formula (III). The salts can be employed either as such or they can be prepared in situ, for example by adding alkali metal hydrides, preferably sodium hydride.
The aprotic, dipolar solvents dimethylformamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone are particularly preferred if the process is carried out without acid-binding agent. In contrast, if the process is carried out for example using sodium hydride, cyclic ethers, such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, are moreover particularly preferred as solvents.
In general, the reactants are reacted with each other in the stoichiometrically equimolar ratio.
Since the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazoles of the formula (II) carry a second halogen atom in the 4-position--which is, albeit, gradually markedly less reactive--, it is generally advantageous not to employ an excess of nucleophile of the formula (III) to exclude the formation of disubstitution products, which are undesirable in this case. It can therefore be advantageous in certain cases to employ an excess of 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II), which, in general, can be 20 to up to 100 mole %.
When carrying out process (a) according to the invention, it is preferred to initially introduce the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) into one of the mentioned solvents. If the process is carried out without acid-binding agent, the nucleophile of the formula (III) is then added at room temperature, and the mixture is heated to the desired final reaction temperature. If the process is carried out in the presence of an acid-binding agent--particularly preferably sodium hydride- , various procedures can be followed. Either the alkali salt of the nucleophile of the formula (III) is first produced in situ in a separate reaction vessel--preferably in a cyclic ether such as tetrahydrofuran--and it is then added at room temperature or below, preferably down to 0.degree. C., to the solution of the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II), or the nucleophile of the formula (III) can first be added to the solution of the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) and then--advantageously in portions - the acid-binding agent, particularly preferably sodium hydride, is added, or the acid-binding agent is added first and then--again, advantageously in portions--the nucleophile of the formula (III).
The mixture is then stirred at the desired reaction temperature until the reaction is complete.
The reaction products are isolated by customary methods. In the simplest case, some or all of the solvent may be distilled off in vacuo, and the reaction mixture is then stirred in excess ice-water, about the 5- to 10-fold volume of employed solvent, the mixture is filtered off, and the product is washed with water and dried. If the process was carried out using an excess of 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole, the latter can be dissolved out of the thoroughly dried crude product by stirring at room temperature with a solvent which dissolves virtually only the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II), and, if appropriate, it can be reused in subsequent batches. An example which is particularly highly suitable in the case of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole is petroleum ether. In the event that the reaction product, which still contains excess 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II), itself is freely soluble in petroleum ether at room temperature, the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) is subjected to fractional sublimation or distillation, for example in vacuo at about 0.1 mbar, to separate it from the reaction product which, in most cases, is markedly less volatile. In the case of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole, this is possible at a temperature of, for example, about 70.degree. C. and at 0.1 mbar. The reaction products can be further purified for example by recrystallization, by sublimation or by means of chromatography.
In the event that a reaction product is obtained as an oil when stirred in excess ice-water, it is isolated by repeated extraction by shaking with one of the customary organic solvents which are not miscible with water, such as, for example, methylene chloride, by a process in which the organic phase is separated off and, if appropriate, washed with water, for example in the case of dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as the reaction medium, followed by drying and concentration in vacuo.

Chem. Soc. 1919, 1071-1090), it is prepared as shown in the following equation: ##STR18##
Preparatory details of these reactions can be seen from the preparation examples.
Suitable solvents for carrying out process (b) according to the invention are: aliphatic or aromatic nitriles, for example acetonitrile, propionitrile, benzonitrile, in particular acetonitrile, ethers, in particular cyclic ethers such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, in particular dioxane.
The reaction temperature in process (b) according to the invention can be varied over a wide range. In general the process is carried, out at between -20.degree. C. and +150.degree. C., preferably at 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
As a rule, the reactions are carried out under atmospheric pressure, but they can also be carried out in closed vessels in which an accordingly higher pressure is then established depending on the nature of the solvent and on the temperature.
An acid-binding agent is not required in all cases for binding the hydrogen halide which is liberated in process (b) according to the invention, as shown in the equation. If the process is carried out without acid-binding agent, the reaction temperature chosen is expediently the reflux temperature of the particular solvent. If acid-binding agents are used, the following are suitable for this purpose: alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates or alkali metal hydrides, for example sodium hydride. In these cases, room temperature is particularly suitable as the reaction temperature.
In general, the reactants are reacted with each other in the stoichiometrically equimolar ratio, but it is also possible to employ an excess of halogenocarbonyl compound of the formula (V), which can be up to 100 %.
When carrying out process (b) according to the invention, the 2-amino-4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazole derivative of the formula (IV) is preferably dissolved in one of the mentioned solvents, the preferably equimolar to 1.5-molar amount of halogenocarbonyl compound of the formula (V) is added and, if appropriate, the equimolar to 1.5-molar amount of one of the mentioned acid-binding agents is added, and the ,mixture is stirred at the desired reaction temperature until the reaction is complete. The course of the reaction can easily be monitored by means of thin-layer chromatography. Depending on the reactants and reaction conditions, the reaction times are between one and one hundred hours.

As a rule, the reactions are carried out under atmospheric pressure, but they can also be carried out in closed vessels in which then an accordingly higher pressure is established depending on the nature of the solvent and on the temperature.
The starting substances which are preferably employed in process (c) according to the invention are aliphatic carboxylic anhydrides. In these cases, it is particularly preferred to employ an excess of aliphatic carboxylic anhydride instead, of one of the mentioned solvents. In general, 5 to 20 ml of aliphatic carboxylic anhydride are then employed per gram of starting compound (IV) to be acylated, and the mixture is refluxed until the reaction is complete. Depending on the reactants and the reaction conditions, the reaction times are between one and one hundred hours.
If R in formula (IV) is an aryl radical, in particular a phenyl radical, and if this is substituted by hydroxyl groups or amino groups, these groups are also acylated in the reaction in an excess of aliphatic carboxylic anhydride, in particular in acetic anhydride. Preparative details of these reactions can be seen from the preparation examples.
If the process is carried out using an excess of aliphatic carboxylic anhydride, working-up is particularly easy. The mixture is evaporated to dryness in vacuo, for example in a rotavapor. To remove the last residual carboxylic anhydride, the batch is either dried to constant weight between earthenware plates, or it is stirred in water, filtered off and dried.

For carrying out process (d) according to the invention, the 2-amino-4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazole derivative of the formula (IV) is dissolved in one of the mentioned solvents, the isocyanate of the formula (VII) is added, and the mixture is heated at the desired temperature, preferably at the reflux temperature which is established in the specific solvent, until the reaction is complete.

In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required.
For the treatment of soil, active compound concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0001 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the place of action.
Due to their broad spectrum of action, the active compounds according to the invention of the formula (I) are furthermore also suitable for the protection of industrial materials.
