Pesticidal 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazoles

The present invention relates to new 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazole derivatives, several processes for their preparation and their use as agents for combating pests, and some new intermediate products.
It is known that thiazoles which are substituted, for example, by hydroxyphenoxy are used in medicine for the treatment of tumors (compare WO No. 88/00,944).
It is furthermore known that 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole has a microbicidal action, above all a fungicidal action, in plant protection (compare DE-OS (German Published Specification) No. 3,518,520).
Thiazole derivatives, such as, for example, 4,5-dichloro2-propinyloxy-thiazole, are also known as synergists (compare DE-OS (German Published Specification) No. 3,030,661).
It is furthermore known that certain substituted thiazoles, such as, for example, 4-benzimidazol-2-yl-thiazole (thiabendazol), are used as fungicides for 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 has some gaps and their microbicidal activity is not always satisfactory in certain areas of indication.

Surprisingly, the 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazole derivatives of the formula (I) according to the invention amongst other things exhibit a considerably more potent fungicidal activity in plant protection than, for example, the commercial products Captan (N-trichloromethylthio-tetrahydrophthalimide), Euparen (N,N-dimethyl-N'-phenyl-N'-(fluorodichloromethylthio)-sulphamide or Curzate [2-cyano-N-(ethylaminocarbonyl)-2-methoximino)-acetamide], which are known from the prior art and are closely related compounds from the point of view of their action.

If 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole and aniline are used as starting substances in process (a) according to the invention, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation: ##STR10##
If 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole and N,N-dimethylaniline are used as starting substances, the course of process (b) according to the invention can be represented by the following equation: ##STR11##
If 4-chloro-2-(4-methylphenylmercapto)-5-nitrothiazole and of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid are used as starting substances, the course of process (c), variant .alpha., according to the invention can be represented by the following ##STR12##
If 4-chloro-2-(4-methy(phenylmercapto)-5-nitrothiazole is used as the starting substance and 1 mol of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid is used as the oxidizing agent, the course of process (c), variant 8, according to the invention can be represented by the following equation: ##STR13##
The 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazoles of the formula (II) required as starting substances in process (a) according to the invention are known in some cases, for example for compounds of the formula (II) in which Hal =Hal.sup.1 =bromine: Chem. Abstr. 61: 3087 f and for Hal =Hal.sup.1 =chlorine, compare DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,518,520.
The two compounds mentioned are producible, for example, by nitration of the corresponding 2,4-dihalogenothiazoles.
Compounds of the formula (II A) ##STR14## in which Hal' and Hal.sup.1 independently of one another represents chlorine, iodine or fluorine, with the proviso that the two Hals may not simultaneously be chlorine,
are new and likewise form part of the invention. At appropriate concentrations, these substances also display a microbicidal action.
Thus, compounds of the formula (II A) 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. The iodine compounds are thus I5. obtained by reaction of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole with metal iodides, in particular sodium iodide, in lower aliphatic ketones, in particular acetone, as the solvent in accordance with the following equations: ##STR15##
The two isomeric chloro-iodo-nitrothiazoles are formed side by side and can be separated from one another by fractional crystallization and/or by chromatographic methods. The reaction temperature is in general 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 the solvent 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. 2-15mols of metal fluoride, preferably 3-12 mol of metal fluoride, are used per mol of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole.
The nucleophiles of the formula (III) furthermore required as starting substances in process (a) according to the invention are known in principle. If specific compounds have not yet been described, they can be prepared by known processes.
Possible solvents in carrying out process (a) according to the invention are: aliphatic nitriles, in particular acetonitrile, open-chain or cyclic dialkylamides of aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide, and furthermore N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N-methylcaprolactam, tetramethylurea, N,N'-di-methyl-1,3-imidazolin-2-one, hexamethylphosphoric acid trisamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethyl sulphone, tetramethylene sulphone (=sulpholane), tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and lower aliphatic alcohols, in particular in connection with their associated metal salt, in particular alkali metal salt.
Cyclic ethers, such as dioxane, and above all the aprotic polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and N-methyl-2pyrrolidinone, as well as acetonitrile are preferably used.
The choice of solvents also depends on the nature of the nucleophile of the formula (III). If the nucleophile or its metal salt, preferably alkali metal salt, is used in the form of an aqueous solution (such as, for example, in sodium hydroxide solution or methylamine), a mixed system of water and one of the solvents mentioned can also be used.
Weakly basic amines, such as, for example, pyrrole, pyrazole, diphenylamine or aniline derivatives which are substituted by negative substituents, such as, for example, nitro or trifluoromethyl, can be reacted particularly advantageously using aprotic polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, whereas strong bases, such as, for example, aliphatic amines, such as, for example, diethylamine or morpholine, also react rapidly in dioxane or acetonitrile.
The reaction temperature can be varied within wide ranges in process (a) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out between -50.degree. C. and +150.degree. C., preferably at -20.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
Strong nucleophiles in general already react very rapidly in the desired sense at the lower limit of the temperature range mentioned, whereas weak nucleophiles require higher temperatures and longer reaction times.
The reactions are as a rule carried out under normal pressure, but the reaction can also be carried out in closed vessels in which a correspondingly higher pressure is then established according to the nature of the solvent and the temperature.
To bind the hydrogen halide liberated in accordance with the equation in process (a) according to the invention an acid-binding agent is in general necessary. For this there can be used, for example: alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates.
Instead of using the acid-binding agent, metal salts, preferably alkali metal salts, of the nucleophile of the formula (III) in question can also be reacted directly. The salts can either be used as such or produced in situ, for example by addition of alkali metal hydrides, preferably sodium hydride.
If the nucleophiles to be employed are strongly basic amines, such as, for example, diethylamine, a corresponding excess of the nucleophile can serve as the acid-binding agent. More weakly basic amines, such as anilines, which are reacted in aprotic, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, give the desired compounds of the formula (I) in good yields without the addition of an acid-binding agent and without using an excess of the nucleophile.
Very weak nucleophiles of the formula (III), for e ample anilines substituted by two or more negative substituents, especially those which have these negative substituents in the ortho-positions relative to the amino group, are advantageously reacted in ethers, in particular in cyclic ethers, such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, with the addition of metal hydrides, preferably sodium hydride, for the purpose of salt formation in situ.
The reaction partners are in general reacted with one another in the stoichiometrically equimolar ratio, and in the case of strongly basic amines, which can simultaneously function as the acid-binding agent, in twice the molar ratio.
Since the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazoles of the formula (II) carry a second - although of a reactivity which is a significant step lower - halogen atom in the 4-position, it is generally advantageous not to employ an excess of nucleophile of the formula (III). In certain cases, however, it may be advantageous to employ an excess of 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II), which can in general be 20 mol per cent up to 100 mol per cent. In the case of weak nucleophiles of the formula (III) which react only relatively slowly with the considerably more reactive halogen in the 2-position of the thiazole ring, on the other hand, an excess of the nucleophile of the formula (III), which can be up to 100 mol per cent, can be employed.
In carrying out process (a) according to the invention, the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) is preferably initially introduced into one of the solvents mentioned and the acid-binding agent is then added, if appropriate. The nucleophile of the formula (III) is then slowly added in small portions, for example by dropwise addition of a solution or in a diluent, at room temperature or below, particularly preferably down to -15.degree. C. Local excesses of nucleophile of the formula (III) during reaction with the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) are to the greatest extent avoided by this measure of slow addition, and formation of disubstitution products which are undesirable here is thus virtually excluded.
If the desired final reaction temperature is to be above room temperature, the mixture is subsequently heated.
The reaction products are isolated by customary methods. In the simplest case, the reaction mixture is stirred into excess ice-water, for example 5 to 10 times the amount by volume of the solvent employed, if appropriate after partial or complete removal of the solvent by distillation in vacuo below the reaction temperature, and the product is filtered off, washed with water and dried. If an excess of 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole has been used, this can be dissolved out of the well-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 can be re-used for subsequent batches. In the case of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole, petroleum ether, for example, is particularly suitable. If the reaction product which still contains excess 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) is itself readily soluble in petroleum ether at room temperature, the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) is subjected, for example, to fractional sublimation or distillation from the usually significantly less volatile reaction product in vacuo under about 0.1 mbar. In the case of 2,4-dichloro-5-nitrothiazole this is possible, for example, at a temperature of about 70.degree. C. under 0.1 mbar. Further purification of the reaction products can be effected, for example, by recrystallization or by a chromatographic route.
If a reaction product is obtained as an oil when the mixture is stirred in excess ice-water, it is isolated by extraction several times by shaking with one of the usual organic water-immiscible solvents, such as, for example, methylene chloride, by separating off the organic phase, washing it with water if appropriate, for example in the case of dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as the reaction medium, drying it and concentrating it in vacuo.
The N,N-dimethylarylamines of the formula (IV) required as starting substances in process (b) according to the invention are known in principle. If specific compounds have not yet been described, they can be prepared by known methods. In formula (IV), aryl has the same meaning as aryl in the definition of R in formula (I).
Possible solvents in carrying out process (b) according to the invention are aliphatic or aromatic nitriles, for example acetonitrile, propionitrile or benzonitrile, in particular acetonitrile, and ethers, in particular cyclic ethers, such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, in particular dioxane.
The reaction temperature can be varied within wide ranges in process (b) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out between 50.degree. C. and 200.degree. C., preferably at 60.degree. C. to 150.degree. C.
The reactions are as a rule carried out under normal pressure, but the reaction can also be carried out in closed vessels in which a correspondingly higher pressure is then established according to the nature of the solvent and the temperature.
The reaction partners are preferably reacted with one another in stoichiometrically equimolar ratio.
In carrying out process (b) according to the invention, the 2,4-dihalogeno-5-nitrothiazole of the formula (II) is preferably dissolved in one of the solvents mentioned, preferably the approximately equimolar amount of N,N-dimethylarylamine is added and the mixture is heated, preferably under reflux, until the reaction has virtually ended. The solvent is then distilled off, preferably in vacuo, and the residue is purified, if necessary, for example by recrystallization.
Formula (V) provides a definition of the 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazolyl sulphides according to the invention required as starting substances in process (c) according to the invention. In this formula, Hal and R preferably represent those radicals which have already been mentioned in connection with the description of the substances of the formula (I) according to the invention.
All the customary reagents which can be used for such purposes can be employed as oxidizing agents in process (c) according to the invention. Aliphatic or aromatic percarboxylic acids, such as, for example, peracetic acid, perpropionic acid and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, are preferred. 3-Chloroperbenzoic acid is particularly preferred.
All the customary inert organic solvents can be used as solvents in process (c) according to the invention. Preferred possible solvents are methylene chloride, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride.
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a certain range in process (c) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 20.degree. C. and 80.degree. C. In carrying out process (c), variant .beta., according to the invention, the 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazolyl sulphide of the formula (V) is in general dissolved in one of the solvents mentioned and at least 2 mols of an oxidizing agent, up to 5 mols of oxidizing agent per mol of the compound of the formula (V), are added and the mixture is stirred, for example while monitoring by thin layer chromatography, until the desired reaction has ended. Reflux conditions are preferably used here in order to accelerate the reaction.
In carrying out process (c), variant .beta., according to the invention, the 4-halogeno-5-nitrothiazolyl sulphide of the formula (V) is dissolved in one of the solvents mentioned and small portions of oxidizing agent, preferably percarboxylic acid, are added to avoid sulphone formation which is undesirable here, preferably in the lower range of the reaction temperature mentioned, for example at room temperature, the reaction being monitored by thin layer chromatography. The total amount of oxidizing agent, for example percarboxylic acid, is preferably in the range from 1 to 1.5 mols per mol of compound of the formula (V).
Since the reaction of course proceeds relatively slowly at low temperatures, for example at room temperature, the reaction can be stopped with the aid of thin layer chromatography, even when more than 1 mol of percarboxylic acid is used per mol of compound of the formula (V), before noticeable amounts of undesirable sulphone are formed.
The sulphones or sulphoxides are isolated in the pure form in the customary manner. The solvent is stripped off in vacuo, the residue is stirred with excess aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution at room temperature, in order to remove, for example, the (per)carboxylic acids, the mixture is filtered and the residue is washed with water, dried and if appropriate recrystallized, for example from hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexaine.

EXAMPLE D
Leptosphaeria nodorum test (wheat) / protective
Solvent: 100 parts by weight of dimethylformamide
Emulsifier: 0.25 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
To test for protective activity, young plants are sprayed with the preparation of active compound until dew-moist. After the spray coating has dried on, the plants are sprayed with a conidia suspension of Leptosphaeria nodorum. The plants remain for 48 hours in an incubation cabin at 20.degree. C. and 100% relative atmospheric humidity.
The plants are placed in a greenhouse at a temperature of about 15.degree. C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of about 80%.
Evaluation is effected 10 days after the inoculation.
At 0.025% by weight in the spray liquor, some of the compounds according to the invention exhibit a degree of action of 100% in comparison with the untreated control.
EXAMPLE E
In order to determine the activity against fungi on industrial materials, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of active compounds according to the invention are determined:
An agar prepared from beerwort and peptone is treated with active compounds according to the invention at concentrations of from 0.1 mg/l to 5,000 mg/l. After solidification, the agar is contaminated with pure cultures of the test organisms listed in the table. After storage for 2 weeks at 28.degree. C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of 60 to 70%, the MIC is determined The MIC is the lowest concentration of active compound at which no infestation by the microbe species used takes place.
Thus, for example, compound Nos 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 45, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 64, 80, 77, 78 and 92 and also Examples A1 and A2 have a good action and a broad range of action in the case, for example, of the following test organisms:
Alternaria tenuis
Aspergillus niger
Aureobasidium pullulans
Chaetomium globosum
Cladosporium cladosporioides
Lentinus tigrinus
Penicillium glaucum
Sclerophoma pityophila
Trichhoderma viride
EXAMPLE F
Action against bacteria on industrial materials
An agar containing broth as the nutrient medium is treated with active compounds according to the invention at concentrations of from 1 to 5,000 ppm. The nutrient medium is then infected with each of the test organisms listed in the table given below, and the infected medium is kept for 2 weeks at 28.degree. C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of 60 to 70%. The MIC is the lowest concentration of active compound at which no infestation by the microbe species used takes place.
TABLE
Escherichia coli
Staphylococcus aureus
In the case of these test organisms, the compounds 3, 6, 9, 53, 77, 78 and Examples A1 and A2, for example exhibit a clearly superior action than the known comparative substance (D).
EXAMPLE G
A mixed culture of blue-green, brown and silicious algae (Stichococcus bacillaris Naegeli, Euglena gracilis Klebs, Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick, Phormidium foveolarum Gomont, Oscillatoria geminata Meneghini and Phae odactylum tricornutum Bohlin) is introduced into Allen's nutrient solution (Arch. Mikrobiol. 17, 34 to 15 (1952)) containing 0.2 g of ammonium chloride, 4.0 g of sodium nitrate, 1.0 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.2 g of calcium chloride, 2.05 g of magnesium sulphate and 0.02 g of iron chloride per 4 l of sterile water, while air is bubbled through. After 2 weeks, the nutrient solution has become an intense green-blue color due to intensive algal growth. The dieing-off of the algae after active compounds according to the invention have been added can be seen from decoloration of the nutrient solution. Thus, for example, Examples A1 and A2 have a good action.
Table H
(action against slime organisms)
Compounds according to the invention are used, dissolved in a little acetone, in concentrations of, in each case, 0.1 to 100 mg/1 in Allen's nutrient solution (Arch. Mikrobiol. 17, 34 to 53 (1952) containing 0.2 g of ammonium chloride, 4.0 g of sodium nitrate, 1.0 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.2 g of calcium chloride, 2.05 g of magnesium sulphate, 0.02 g of iron chloride and 1% of caprolactam in 4 1 of sterile water. Shortly beforehand, the nutrient solution is infected with slime organisms (about 10.sup.6 organisms/ml) isolated from spinning water circuits used in the production of nylon. Nutrient solutions having the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or greater active compound concentrations are still completely clear after culturing for 3 weeks at room temperature, i.e. notable degrees of multiplication of the microbes and slime formation do not occur in the active compound-free nutrient solutions after 3 to 4 days.
Thus, for example, the compound of Example A2 exhibits a very good action.
It will be appreciated that the instant specification and claims are set forth by way of illustration and not limitation, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
