The process according to the invention for preparing compounds of formula (I) is carried out by methods known to those skilled in the art, or described for example in WO 2009/131237, WO 2011/043404, WO 2011/040629, WO 2010/125985, WO 2012/086848, WO 2013/018928, WO 2013/191113, WO 2013/180193 and WO 2013/180194, and involves reaction of a compound of formula II,
wherein Q is the group
wherein Z is X—R1 or a leaving group, for example a halogen, and wherein X, R1, R3 and A are as described under formula I above, and wherein the arrow in the radical Q shows the point of attachment to the carbon atom of the carboxyl group in the compound of formula II,
with a compound of formula III,
wherein R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, in the presence of a de-hydrating agent, such as for example polyphosphoric acid at temperature between 150° C. to 250° C., to yield compounds of formula Ia, wherein the substituents are as described above and under formula I. Such processes are well known and have been described for example in WO 2008/128968 or WO 2006/003440. The process is summarized in scheme 1 for compounds of formula Ia:
As can be seen in scheme 1, the formation of compounds of formula Ia occurs through the intermediacy of a compound of formula VI (and/or its position isomer VIa). Intermediate VI or intermediate VIa may form as a pure entity, or intermediates VI and VIa may arise as a mixture of regioisomeric acylation products. It is in many cases advantageous to thus prepare compounds of formula (I) through such intermediates VI/VIa, which may be isolated and optionally purified. This is illustrated for compounds of formula Ia in scheme 2:
Compounds of the formula VI and/or VIa (or a mixture thereof), or a salt thereof, wherein Q is as defined above, and wherein R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, may be prepared by
i) activation of compound of formula II, wherein Q is as defined above, by methods known to those skilled in the art and described in, for example, Tetrahedron, 2005, 61 (46), 10827-10852, to form an activated species IIa, wherein Q is as defined above and wherein X00 is halogen, preferably chlorine. For example, compounds IIa where X00 is halogen, preferably chlorine, are formed by treatment of II with, for example, oxallyl chloride (COCl)2 or thionyl chloride SOCl2 in the presence of catalytic quantities of N,N-dimethylformamide DMF in inert solvents such as methylene chloride CH2Cl2 or tetrahydrofuran THF at temperatures between 20 to 100° C., preferably 25° C. Alternatively, treatment of compounds of formula II with, for example, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide EDC or dicyclohexyl carbodiimide DCC will generate an activated species Ila, wherein X00 is X01 or X02 respectively, in an inert solvent, such as pyridine or tetrahydrofuran THF, optionally in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, at temperatures between 25-180° C.; followed by
ii) treament of the activated species IIa with a compound of formula III (or a salt thereof), wherein R8, R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, optionally in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, in an inert solvents such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or toluene, at temperatures between 0 and 80° C., to form the compounds of formula VI and/or VIa (or a mixture thereof).
Compounds of formula VI and/or VIa (or a mixture thereof) may further be converted into compounds of formula Ia, wherein Q is as defined above, and wherein R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, by dehydration, eg. by heating the compounds VI and/or VIa (or a mixture thereof) in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as for example methane sulfonic acid, or para-toluene sulfonic acid TsOH, in an inert solvent such as N-methyl pyrrolidine NMP at temperatures between 25-180° C., preferably 100-170° C., optionally under microwave conditions. Such processes have been described previously, for example, in WO 2010/125985.
Compounds of formula Ia, wherein Q is as defined above, and wherein Z is a leaving group, for example halogen, preferably fluorine or chlorine, and wherein R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, can be reacted with compounds of formula V
R1—SH (V),
or a salt thereof, wherein R1 is as defined in formula I, optionally in the presence of a suitable base, such as alkali metal carbonates, for example sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, or alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride, or alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, in an inert solvent at temperatures preferably between 25-120° C., to generate compounds of formula Ib, wherein R1 is as described under formula I above, and in which A, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above. Examples of solvent to be used include ethers such as THF, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether, and 1,4-dioxane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, nitriles such as acetonitrile or polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or dimethyl sulfoxide. Similar chemistry has been previously described, as for example in WO2013/018928. Examples of salts of the compound of formula V include compounds of the formula Va
R1—S-M (Va),
wherein R1 is as defined above and wherein M is, for example, sodium or potassium. This is illustrated for compounds of formula Ib in scheme 3:
Alternatively, this reaction can be carried out in the presence of a palladium catalyst, such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), in the presence of a phosphor ligand, such as xanthphos, in an inert solvent, for example, xylene at temperatures between 100-160° C., preferably 140° C., as described by Perrio et al. in Tetrahedron 2005, 61, 5253-5259.
The subgroup of compounds of formula I, wherein X is SO (sulfoxide) and/or SO2 (sulfone), may be obtained by means of an oxidation reaction of the corresponding sulfide compounds of formula I, wherein X is S (i.e. a compound of formula Ib above), involving reagents such as, for example, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), hydrogen peroxide, oxone, sodium periodate, sodium hypochlorite or tert-butyl hypochlorite amongst other oxidants. The oxidation reaction is generally conducted in the presence of a solvent. Examples of the solvent to be used in the reaction include aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane and chloroform; alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; acetic acid; water; and mixtures thereof. The amount of the oxidant to be used in the reaction is generally 1 to 3 moles, preferably 1 to 1.2 moles, relative to 1 mole of the sulfide compounds Ib to produce the sulfoxide compounds I (wherein X═SO), and preferably 2 to 2.2 moles of oxidant, relative to 1 mole of of the sulfide compounds Ib to produce the sulfone compounds I (wherein X═SO2).

This alternative approach to prepare compounds of formula IIIa is described in more details in scheme 8 for the particular situation where R2 is CF3, R5 is CH3, and RG is tert-butyloxy:
Diamino compounds of formula (X) are either known, commercially available or may be made by methods known to a person skilled in the art, for example in analogy to a preparation method described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,767,687.
Alternatively, the sequence to prepare compounds of formula III wherein R2, R4 and R5 are as described under formula I above, from compounds of formula XIII, may involve i. alkylation of compound XIII with R5—XLG, wherein R5 is as described under formula I above and wherein XLG is a leaving group, such as halogen, preferably iodine, bromine or chlorine, in presence of a base, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate, or sodium hydride, in a appropriate solvent such as for example N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide or acetonitrile, to generate a compound of formula XIV, wherein R5 and R2 are as described under formula I above; ii. a reaction of nitration of compound XIV in classical conditions, for example, see for example, Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, Fourth Edition by Jerry March, 1992 (Publisher Wiley New York, N.Y.) p 523-525; and finally iii. a reaction of reduction of compound XV in classical conditions, for example, see for example, Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, Fourth Edition by Jerry March, 1992 (Publisher Wiley New York, N.Y.) p 1216-1217. See scheme 9.

Compounds of formula XIIIa may be made by methods known to a person skilled in the art. See Synthesis 2005, No. 8, pp 1269-1278 and Synthesis 2011, No. 7, pp 1149-1156.
Compounds of formula I-1a, wherein Z is X—R1 or a leaving group, for example halogen, and wherein X, R2, R3, R4, R5, and A are as described under formula I above, may be prepared by reaction between compounds of formula II respectively IIa, wherein Z is X—R1 or a leaving group, for example halogen, and wherein X, R1, R2, R4, R3, R5, and A are as described under formula I above, and in which X00 is as described above, and compounds of formula XVI, wherein R5 and R2 are as described under formula I above, under similar conditions as for the preparation of compounds of formula Ia from compounds of formula II/IIa and III described above (see scheme 1 and 2). This is illustrated for compounds of formula XVI in scheme 11:
Compounds of formula I can also be made (as depicted in scheme 12) by reacting compounds of formula Id, wherein LG can be a halogen, preferentially chlorine, bromine or iodine, or a sulfonate, like for example a trifluoromethanesulfonate with compounds of formula XVIII, wherein Yb2 can be a boron-derived functional group, as for example B(OH)2 or B(ORb2)2 wherein Rb2 can be a C1-C6alkyl group or the two groups ORb2 can form together with the boron atom a five- or six-membered ring, as for example a pinacol boronic ester. In formulae Id and XVIII, A, X1, R1, R2, X and R3 are as described in formula I and LG could be including in R3. The reaction can be catalyzed by a palladium based catalyst, for example tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0), bis(triphenyl-phosphine) palladium(II) dichloride or (1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene)dichloropalladium-dichloromethane (1:1 complex), in presence of a base, like sodium carbonate or cesium fluoride, in a solvent (such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane) or a solvent mixture, like, for example a mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and water, or of dioxane and water, preferably under inert atmosphere. The reaction temperature can preferentially range from room temperature to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, or alternatively heating may be performed under microwave irradiation.
Alternatively, compounds of formula I can be prepared by a Stille reaction of compounds of formula XVIII wherein Yb2 is a trialkyl tin derivative, preferably tri-n-butyl tin, with compounds of formula Id. Such Stille reactions are usually carried out in the presence of a palladium catalyst, for example tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), or (1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene)dichloropalladium-dichloromethane (1:1 complex), in an inert solvent such as DMF, acetonitrile, or dioxane, optionally in the presence of an additive, such as cesium fluoride, or lithium chloride, and optionally in the presence of a further catalyst, for example copper(I)iodide. Such Stille couplings are also well known to those skilled in the art, and have been described in for example J. Org. Chem., 2005, 70, 8601-8604, J. Org. Chem., 2009, 74, 5599-5602, and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2004, 43, 1132-1136.
The compounds of formula XIX
wherein
R1, R2, R4, X and A are as defined under formula I above, and Yb2 is —B(OH)2 or —B(ORb2)2, in which Rb2 is a C1-C6alkyl or
(a 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane group), are novel, especially developed for the preparation of the compounds of formula I according to the invention and therefore represent a further object of the invention. The preferred substituent definitions for formula I are also valid for the preferred compounds of formula XIX.
In the particular case where compounds of formula I have the group R3 attached through a nitrogen atom (i.e. those situations where R3 is a nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring system), these compounds can be advantageously accessed by reacting a compound of the formula XIX with a compound of the formula XXa, wherein Yb2 can be a boron-derived functional group, such as for example B(OH)2 or B(ORb2)2 wherein Rb2 can be a C1-C6alkyl group or the two groups ORb2 can form together with the boron atom a five- or six-membered ring, as for example a pinacol boronic ester (scheme 13a). In formulae XIX and XXa, A, R1, R2, R4 and X are as defined under formula I above and R3 is as described in formula I, with the condition that the attachment point is a nitrogen atom. The reaction, also known as Chan-Lam coupling (P. Y. S. Lam, C. G. Clark, S. Saubern, J. Adams, M. P. Winters, D. M. T. Chan, A. Combs, Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 2941), is commonly performed with one to two equivalents of a base, like pyridine or triethylamine, in presence of one to two equivalents of a copper derivative, like for example copper (II) acetate and under an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The reaction can be run in an inert solvent, like dichloromethane, dioxane or dimethylformamide, usually at or around room temperature.
In the particular case where compounds of formula I have the group R3 attached through a nitrogen atom (i.e. those situations where R3 is a nitrogen containing heteroring system), these compounds can be alternatively accessed by reacting a compound of the formula Id with a compound of the formula XXa, wherein LG can be a halogen, preferentially chlorine, bromine or iodine, or a sulfonate, like for example a trifluoromethanesulfonate (scheme 13b). In formulae Id and XXa, A, R1, R2, R4 and X are as defined under formula I above and R3 is as described in formula I, with the condition that the attachment point is a nitrogen atom. Such a reaction with a heterocycle Q-H (which contains an appropriate NH functionality) of formula XXa may be operated in the presence of a base, such as potassium carbonate K2CO3 or cesium carbonate Cs2CO3, optionally in the presence of a copper catalyst, for example copper(I) iodide, with or without an additive such as L-proline, N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine or N,N′-dimethylethylene-diamine, in an inert solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone NMP or N,N-dimethylformamide DMF at temperatures between 30-150° C., optionally under microwave irradiation.
In the particular case where compounds of formula I have the group R3 aromatic, these compounds can be alternatively accessed by reacting a compound of the formula XIX, wherein Yb2 is as described before, with a compound of the formula XXIa, wherein LG can be a halogen, preferentially chlorine, bromine or iodine, or a sulfonate, like for example a trifluoromethanesulfonate (scheme 14). Such reactions may be operated in the presence of a base, such as potassium carbonate K2CO3 or cesium carbonate Cs2CO3, optionally in the presence of a palladium catalyst, for example tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium or (1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene)dichloropalladium-dichloromethane (1:1 complex), in presence of a base, like sodium carbonate or cesium fluoride, in a solvent or a solvent mixture, like, for example a mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and water, or of dioxane and water, preferably under an inert atmosphere. The reaction temperature can preferentially range from room temperature to the boiling point of the reaction mixture. Such Suzuki reactions are well known to those skilled in the art and have been reviewed, for example J. Orgmet. Chem. 576, 1999, 147-168.
Compound of formula XIX may be obtained by Introduction of a pinacolborate functional group via a palladium catalyzed reaction with bispinacol diborane B2Pin2 on a compound of the formula Id, wherein A, X, R1, R2 and R4 are as described in formula I, and wherein LG is chlorine, bromine, iodine or triflate, is another common strategy. This reaction, generating a cyclic boronate IV, wherein Yb2 is
can be performed in an aprotic solvent, in presence of a base, preferentially a weak base, such as potassium acetate KOAc. [1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), also known as palladium dppf dichloride or Pd(dppf)Cl2, is a common catalyst for this type of reaction. The temperature of the reaction is preferably comprised between 0° C. and the boiling point of the reaction mixture, or alternatively heating may be performed under microwave irradiation.
Compounds of formula I, wherein A, R1, R2, R3, X and R4 have the values defined in formula I, and X is —SO2—, can be prepared by oxidation of compounds of formula I or Id, wherein A, R1, R2, R3, X and R4have the values defined in formula I, and X is —SO—. The reaction can be performed with reagents like, for example, a peracid as peracetic acid or m-chloroperbenzoic acid, or a hydroperoxide, as for example, hydrogen peroxide or tert-butylhydroperoxide, or an inorganic oxidant, like a monoperoxo-disulfate salt or potassium permanganate. In a similar way, compounds of formula I, wherein A, R1, R2, R3, X and R4 have the values defined in formula I, and X is —SO—, can be prepared by oxidation of compounds of formula I, wherein A, R1, R2, R3, X and R4 have the values defined in formula I, and X is —S—, under analogous conditions described above. These reactions can be performed in various organic or aqueous solvents compatible to these conditions, by temperatures from below 0° C. up to the boiling point of the solvent system (scheme 15).
Compounds of formula II,
wherein Z is X—R1 or a leaving group and his obviews analogues such as the ester derivatives, are known, commercialy available or can be made under conditions known to a person skilled in the art.
Compounds of formula I wherein Q is C3-C6cycloalkyl, mono- or polysubstituted by substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, C1-C4haloalkyl, and phenyl, may be prepared by methods described above. For the special case of compounds of formula I wherein Q is cycloalkyl substituted by cyano and C1-C4haloalkyl, the compounds can be prepared by the methods shown in Scheme 16.
As shown in scheme 16, treatment of compounds of formula Id, where X is SO2, with trimethylsilyl-acetonitrile, in the presence of zinc(II)fluoride, and a palladium(0)catalyst such as Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)-chloroform adduct (Pd2(dba)3), a ligand, for example Xantphos, in an inert solvent, such as DMF at temperatures between 100-160° C., optionally under microwave heating, leads to compounds of formula XXII. Such chemistry has been described in the literature, e.g. in Org. Left., 16(24), 6314-6317; 2014. Compounds of formula XXII can be treated with compounds of formula XXIV, wherein Qx is a direct bond or (CH2), and n is 1,2 or 3, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride, K2CO3, or Cs2CO3, in an inert solvent such as DMF, acetone, or acetonitrile, to give compounds of formula Iaa. Alternatively, compounds of formula Iaa can be prepared directly from compounds of formula Id by treatment with compounds of formula XXI, wherein Qx is is as described in XXIV, with Pd2(dba)3, a ligand, such as BINAP, a strong base such as LiHMDS, in an inert solvent such as THF at temperatures between 40-70° C. Such chemistry has been described in, for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 127(45), 15824-15832; 2005. Hydrolysis of compounds of formula laa under classical conditions (see for example: Synthetic Organic Methodology: Comprehensive Organic Transformations. A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, Larock, R. C. 1989 p 993) leads to compounds of formula XXII, which coulbe transformed in compounds of formula Iab by fluorination (e.g. see Org. Lett., 16(24), 6314-6317; 2014). Alternatively compounds of formula Iaa can be prepared as shown in schemes 17 and 18.
As shown in scheme 17, the chemistry used is identical to that described in Scheme 16, it is just that the substrates for the reactions are different. Thus, reaction of the previously described compound XXIV-a with TMS-acetonitrile as described in scheme 16, leads to compounds of formula XXIV-b. These are converted in compounds of formula XXIV-c by reacting with compounds of formula XXVI as described in scheme 16. Similarly, compounds XXIV-c can be prepared directly from XXIV-a by the chemistry discussed in scheme 15. Compounds of formula XXIV-c are readily hydrolysed by methods known to those skilled in the art to give compounds off formula XXV. The chemistry shown in scheme 18 has previously been described in detail in, for example, scheme 11. This chemistry involves forming an activated species III, followed by amide coupling with a compound of formula XXV, to give the intermediate XXVI (or his isomer of position). This intermediate can be cyclised to compounds of formula Iaa by the methods described under, for example, Scheme 11.
Compounds of formula I, where R3 is substituted C3-cycloalkyl, can be prepared from compounds of formula I wherein R3 is C2-C6alkenyl by the chemsitry illustrated in scheme 19.
In scheme 19, compounds of formula lab, wherein R1, R2, R4, X and A are as previously defined, and R01 is halogen, cyano, C1-C4alkyl, C1-C4haloalkyl, C3-C6cycloalkyl and phenyl, are treated with diazomethane in the presence a catalyst, such as Pd(OAc)2 or bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II)dichloride, in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride or ether at room temperature or below. Such chemistry has been described in the literature (see for example Org. Biomol. Chem. 2, 2471, 2004, WO03/064418, or Med. Chem. Letts., 4, 514-516, 2013.
Compounds of the formula Z-1
wherein R2, and R4 are as defined under formula I above;
Rx is NO2 or NH2; Ry is hydrogen and Rz is C1-C4alkyl; are novel and especially prepared for the preparation of the compounds of formula I and therefore constitute a further object of this invention.
The preferred embodiments of the substituents R2 and R4 as described under formula I above are also valid for the compounds of formula Z-1.
For preparing all further compounds of the formula (I) functionalized according to the definitions of III and Q, there are a large number of suitable known standard methods, for example alkylation, halogenation, acylation, amidation, oximation, oxidation and reduction, the choice of the preparation methods which are suitable depending on the properties (reactivity) of the substituents in the intermediates.
The reactants can be reacted in the presence of a base. Examples of suitable bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydrides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal amides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal alkoxides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal acetates, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal dialkylamides or alkali metal or alkaline earth metal alkylsilylamides, alkylamines, alkylenediamines, free or N-alkylated saturated or unsaturated cycloalkylamines, basic heterocycles, ammonium hydroxides and carbocyclic amines. Examples which may be mentioned are sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride, sodium amide, sodium methoxide, sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, potassium tert-butoxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium hydride, lithium diisopropylamide, potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, calcium hydride, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, triethylenediamine, cyclohexylamine, N-cyclohexyl-N,N-dimethylamine, N,N-diethylaniline, pyridine, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine, quinuclidine, N-methylmorpholine, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).
The reactants can be reacted with each other as such, i.e. without adding a solvent or diluent. In most cases, however, it is advantageous to add an inert solvent or diluent or a mixture of these. If the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base, bases which are employed in excess, such as triethylamine, pyridine, N-methylmorpholine or N,N-diethylaniline, may also act as solvents or diluents.
The reaction is advantageously carried out in a temperature range from approximately −80° C. to approximately +140° C., preferably from approximately −30° C. to approximately +100° C., in many cases in the range between ambient temperature and approximately +80° C.
A compound of formula I can be converted in a manner known per se into another compound of formula I by replacing one or more substituents of the starting compound of formula I in the customary manner by (an)other substituent(s) according to the invention.
Depending on the choice of the reaction conditions and starting materials which are suitable in each case, it is possible, for example, in one reaction step only to replace one substituent by another substituent according to the invention, or a plurality of substituents can be replaced by other substituents according to the invention in the same reaction step.
Salts of compounds of formula I can be prepared in a manner known per se. Thus, for example, acid addition salts of compounds of formula I are obtained by treatment with a suitable acid or a suitable ion exchanger reagent and salts with bases are obtained by treatment with a suitable base or with a suitable ion exchanger reagent.
Salts of compounds of formula I can be converted in the customary manner into the free compounds I, acid addition salts, for example, by treatment with a suitable basic compound or with a suitable ion exchanger reagent and salts with bases, for example, by treatment with a suitable acid or with a suitable ion exchanger reagent.
Salts of compounds of formula I can be converted in a manner known per se into other salts of compounds of formula I, acid addition salts, for example, into other acid addition salts, for example by treatment of a salt of inorganic acid such as hydrochloride with a suitable metal salt such as a sodium, barium or silver salt, of an acid, for example with silver acetate, in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt which forms, for example silver chloride, is insoluble and thus precipitates from the reaction mixture.
Depending on the procedure or the reaction conditions, the compounds of formula I, which have salt-forming properties, can be obtained in free form or in the form of salts.
The compounds of formula I and, where appropriate, the tautomer's thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can be present in the form of one of the isomers which are possible or as a mixture of these, for example in the form of pure isomers, such as antipodes and/or diastereomers, or as isomer mixtures, such as enantiomer mixtures, for example racemates, diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures, depending on the number, absolute and relative configuration of asymmetric carbon atoms which occur in the molecule and/or depending on the configuration of non-aromatic double bonds which occur in the molecule; the invention relates to the pure isomers and also to all isomer mixtures which are possible and is to be understood in each case in this sense hereinabove and hereinbelow, even when stereochemical details are not mentioned specifically in each case.
Diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures of compounds of formula I, in free form or in salt form, which can be obtained depending on which starting materials and procedures have been chosen can be separated in a known manner into the pure diasteromers or racemates on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the components, for example by fractional crystallization, distillation and/or chromatography.
Enantiomer mixtures, such as racemates, which can be obtained in a similar manner can be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, for example by recrystallization from an optically active solvent, by chromatography on chiral adsorbents, for example high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on acetyl cellulose, with the aid of suitable microorganisms, by cleavage with specific, immobilized enzymes, via the formation of inclusion compounds, for example using chiral crown ethers, where only one enantiomer is complexed, or by conversion into diastereomeric salts, for example by reacting a basic end-product racemate with an optically active acid, such as a carboxylic acid, for example camphor, tartaric or malic acid, or sulfonic acid, for example camphorsulfonic acid, and separating the diastereomer mixture which can be obtained in this manner, for example by fractional crystallization based on their differing solubilities, to give the diastereomers, from which the desired enantiomer can be set free by the action of suitable agents, for example basic agents.
Pure diastereomers or enantiomers can be obtained according to the invention not only by separating suitable isomer mixtures, but also by generally known methods of diastereoselective or enantioselective synthesis, for example by carrying out the process according to the invention with starting materials of a suitable stereochemistry.
N-oxides can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula I with a suitable oxidizing agent, for example the H2O/urea adduct in the presence of an acid anhydride, e.g. trifluoroacetic anhydride. Such oxidations are known from the literature, for example from J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32, 2561 or WO 2000/15615.
It is advantageous to isolate or synthesize in each case the biologically more effective isomer, for example enantiomer or diastereomer, or isomer mixture, for example enantiomer mixture or diastereomer mixture, if the individual components have a different biological activity.
The compounds of formula I and, where appropriate, the tautomers thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can, if appropriate, also be obtained in the form of hydrates and/or include other solvents, for example those which may have been used for the crystallization of compounds which are present in solid form.
The compounds according to the following Tables 1 below can be prepared according to the methods described above. The examples which follow are intended to illustrate the invention and show preferred compounds of formula I. “Ph” represents the phenyl group.
Table 1: This table discloses the 44 compounds of the formula I-1aa:
and the N-oxides of the compounds of Table 1.
The compounds of formula I according to the invention are preventively and/or curatively valuable active ingredients in the field of pest control, even at low rates of application, which have a very favorable biocidal spectrum and are well tolerated by warm-blooded species, fish and plants. The active ingredients according to the invention act against all or individual developmental stages of normally sensitive, but also resistant, animal pests, such as insects or representatives of the order Acarina. The insecticidal or acaricidal activity of the active ingredients according to the invention can manifest itself directly, i.e. in destruction of the pests, which takes place either immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for example during ecdysis, or indirectly, for example in a reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate.

The term “crops” is to be understood as including also crop plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus Bacillus.
Toxins that can be expressed by such transgenic plants include, for example, insecticidal proteins, for example insecticidal proteins from Bacillus cereus or Bacillus popilliae; or insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as δ-endotoxins, e.g. Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1F, Cry1Fa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bb1 or Cry9C, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), e.g. Vip1, Vip2, Vip3 or Vip3A; or insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, for example Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhabdus spp., such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus nematophilus; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins and other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such as Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea lectins, barley lectins or snowdrop lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin, papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroidoxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors, HMG-COA-reductase, ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels, juvenile hormone esterase, diuretic hormone receptors, stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases and glucanases.
In the context of the present invention there are to be understood by δ-endotoxins, for example Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1F, Cry1Fa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bb1 or Cry9C, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), for example Vip1, Vip2, Vip3 or Vip3A, expressly also hybrid toxins, truncated toxins and modified toxins. Hybrid toxins are produced recombinantly by a new combination of different domains of those proteins (see, for example, WO 02/15701). Truncated toxins, for example a truncated Cry1Ab, are known. In the case of modified toxins, one or more amino acids of the naturally occurring toxin are replaced. In such amino acid replacements, preferably non-naturally present protease recognition sequences are inserted into the toxin, such as, for example, in the case of Cry3A055, a cathepsin-G-recognition sequence is inserted into a Cry3A toxin (see WO 03/018810). Examples of such toxins or transgenic plants capable of synthesising such toxins are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A-451 878 and WO 03/052073.
The processes for the preparation of such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. Cryl-type deoxyribonucleic acids and their preparation are known, for example, from WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 367 474, EP-A-0 401 979 and WO 90/13651.
The toxin contained in the transgenic plants imparts to the plants tolerance to harmful insects. Such insects can occur in any taxonomic group of insects, but are especially commonly found in the beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera) and moths (Lepidoptera).
Transgenic plants containing one or more genes that code for an insecticidal resistance and express one or more toxins are known and some of them are commercially available. Examples of such plants are: YieldGard® (maize variety that expresses a Cry1Ab toxin); YieldGard Rootworm® (maize variety that expresses a Cry3Bb1 toxin); YieldGard Plus® (maize variety that expresses a Cry1Ab and a Cry3Bb1 toxin); Starlink® (maize variety that expresses a Cry9C toxin); Herculex I® (maize variety that expresses a Cry1Fa2 toxin and the enzyme phosphinothricine N-acetyltransferase (PAT) to achieve tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium); NuCOTN 33B® (cotton variety that expresses a Cry1Ac toxin); Bollgard I® (cotton variety that expresses a Cry1Ac toxin); Bollgard II® (cotton variety that expresses a Cry1Ac and a Cry2Ab toxin); VipCot® (cotton variety that expresses a Vip3A and a Cry1Ab toxin); NewLeaf® (potato variety that expresses a Cry3A toxin); NatureGard®, Agrisure® GT Advantage (GA21 glyphosate-tolerant trait), Agrisure® CB Advantage (Bt11 corn borer (CB) trait) and Protecta®.

Transgenic crops of insect-resistant plants are also described in BATS (Zentrum für Biosicherheit and Nachhaltigkeit, Zentrum BATS, Clarastrasse 13, 4058 Basel, Switzerland) Report 2003, (http://bats.ch).
The term “crops” is to be understood as including also crop plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances having a selective action, such as, for example, the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225). Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 95/33818 and EP-A-0 353 191. The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Crops may also be modified for enhanced resistance to fungal (for example Fusarium, Anthracnose, or Phytophthora), bacterial (for example Pseudomonas) or viral (for example potato leafroll virus, tomato spotted wilt virus, cucumber mosaic virus) pathogens.
Crops also include those that have enhanced resistance to nematodes, such as the soybean cyst nematode.
Crops that are tolerance to abiotic stress include those that have enhanced tolerance to drought, high salt, high temperature, chill, frost, or light radiation, for example through expression of NF-YB or other proteins known in the art.
Antipathogenic substances which can be expressed by such transgenic plants include, for example, ion channel blockers, such as blockers for sodium and calcium channels, for example the viral KP1, KP4 or KP6 toxins; stilbene synthases; bibenzyl synthases; chitinases; glucanases; the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PRPs; see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225); antipathogenic substances produced by microorganisms, for example peptide antibiotics or heterocyclic antibiotics (see e.g. WO 95/33818) or protein or polypeptide factors involved in plant pathogen defence (so-called “plant disease resistance genes”, as described in WO 03/000906).
Further areas of use of the compositions according to the invention are the protection of stored goods and store ambients and the protection of raw materials, such as wood, textiles, floor coverings or buildings, and also in the hygiene sector, especially the protection of humans, domestic animals and productive livestock against pests of the mentioned type.
The present invention also provides a method for controlling pests (such as mosquitoes and other disease vectors; see also http://www.who.int/malaria/vector_control/irs/en/). In one embodiment, the method for controlling pests comprises applying the compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus or to a surface or substrate by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping. By way of example, an IRS (indoor residual spraying) application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the method of the invention. In another embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions to a substrate such as non-woven or a fabric material in the form of (or which can be used in the manufacture of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains and tents. A further object of the invention is therefore a substrate selected from nonwoven and fabric material comprising a composition which contains a compound of formula I.
In one embodiment, the method for controlling such pests comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of the compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus, or to a surface or substrate so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on the surface or substrate. Such application may be made by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping the pesticidal composition of the invention. By way of example, an IRS application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor surface is contemplated by the method of the invention so as to provide effective residual pesticidal activity on the surface. In another embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions for residual control of pests on a substrate such as a fabric material in the form of (or which can be used in the manufacture of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains and tents.
Substrates including non-woven, fabrics or netting to be treated may be made of natural fibres such as cotton, raffia, jute, flax, sisal, hessian, or wool, or synthetic fibres such as polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile or the like. The polyesters are particularly suitable. The methods of textile treatment are known, e.g. WO 2008/151984, WO 2003/034823, U.S. Pat. No. 5,631,072, WO 2005/64072, WO 2006/128870, EP 1724392, WO 2005113886 or WO 2007/090739.

The compositions according to the invention are also suitable for protecting against insect infestation in the case of materials such as wood, textiles, plastics, adhesives, glues, paints, paper and card, leather, floor coverings and buildings.
The compositions according to the invention can be used, for example, against the following pests: beetles such as Hylotrupes bajulus, Chlorophorus pilosis, Anobium punctatum, Xestobium rufovillosum, Ptilinuspecticornis, Dendrobium pertinex, Ernobius mollis, Priobium carpini, Lyctus brunneus, Lyctus africanus, Lyctus planicollis, Lyctus linearis, Lyctus pubescens, Trogoxylon aequale, Minthesrugicollis, Xyleborus spec., Tryptodendron spec., Apate monachus, Bostrychus capucins, Heterobostrychus brunneus, Sinoxylon spec. and Dinoderus minutus, and also hymenopterans such as Sirex juvencus, Urocerus gigas, Urocerus gigas taignus and Urocerus augur, and termites such as Kalotermes flavicollis, Cryptotermes brevis, Heterotermes indicola, Reticulitermes flavipes, Reticulitermes santonensis, Reticulitermes lucifugus, Mastotermes darwiniensis, Zootermopsis nevadensis and Coptotermes formosanus, and bristletails such as Lepisma saccharina.
The compounds according to the invention can be used as pesticidal agents in unmodified form, but they are generally formulated into compositions in various ways using formulation adjuvants, such as carriers, solvents and surface-active substances. The formulations can be in various physical forms, e.g. in the form of dusting powders, gels, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, water-dispersible tablets, effervescent pellets, emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsifiable concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, oil-flowables, aqueous dispersions, oily dispersions, suspo-emulsions, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable granules, soluble liquids, water-soluble concentrates (with water or a water-miscible organic solvent as carrier), impregnated polymer films or in other forms known e.g. from the Manual on Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides, United Nations, First Edition, Second Revision (2010). Such formulations can either be used directly or diluted prior to use. The dilutions can be made, for example, with water, liquid fertilisers, micronutrients, biological organisms, oil or solvents.
The formulations can be prepared e.g. by mixing the active ingredient with the formulation adjuvants in order to obtain compositions in the form of finely divided solids, granules, solutions, dispersions or emulsions. The active ingredients can also be formulated with other adjuvants, such as finely divided solids, mineral oils, oils of vegetable or animal origin, modified oils of vegetable or animal origin, organic solvents, water, surface-active substances or combinations thereof.
The active ingredients can also be contained in very fine microcapsules. Microcapsules contain the active ingredients in a porous carrier. This enables the active ingredients to be released into the environment in controlled amounts (e.g. slow-release). Microcapsules usually have a diameter of from 0.1 to 500 microns. They contain active ingredients in an amount of about from 25 to 95% by weight of the capsule weight. The active ingredients can be in the form of a monolithic solid, in the form of fine particles in solid or liquid dispersion or in the form of a suitable solution. The encapsulating membranes can comprise, for example, natural or synthetic rubbers, cellulose, styrene/butadiene copolymers, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylate, polyesters, polyamides, polyureas, polyurethane or chemically modified polymers and starch xanthates or other polymers that are known to the person skilled in the art. Alternatively, very fine microcapsules can be formed in which the active ingredient is contained in the form of finely divided particles in a solid matrix of base substance, but the microcapsules are not themselves encapsulated.
The formulation adjuvants that are suitable for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention are known per se. As liquid carriers there may be used: water, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, vegetable oils, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, acid anhydrides, acetonitrile, acetophenone, amyl acetate, 2-butanone, butylene carbonate, chlorobenzene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol, alkyl esters of acetic acid, diacetone alcohol, 1,2-dichloropropane, diethanolamine, p-diethylbenzene, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol abietate, diethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol dibenzoate, diproxitol, alkylpyrrolidone, ethyl acetate, 2-ethylhexanol, ethylene carbonate, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 2-heptanone, alpha-pinene, d-limonene, ethyl lactate, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylene glycol methyl ether, gamma-butyrolactone, glycerol, glycerol acetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, hexadecane, hexylene glycol, isoamyl acetate, isobornyl acetate, isooctane, isophorone, isopropylbenzene, isopropyl myristate, lactic acid, laurylamine, mesityl oxide, methoxy-propanol, methyl isoamyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl laurate, methyl octanoate, methyl oleate, methylene chloride, m-xylene, n-hexane, n-octylamine, octadecanoic acid, octylamine acetate, oleic acid, oleylamine, o-xylene, phenol, polyethylene glycol, propionic acid, propyl lactate, propylene carbonate, propylene glycol, propylene glycol methyl ether, p-xylene, toluene, triethyl phosphate, triethylene glycol, xylenesulfonic acid, paraffin, mineral oil, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, butyl acetate, propylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and alcohols of higher molecular weight, such as amyl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, hexanol, octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and the like.
Suitable solid carriers are, for example, talc, titanium dioxide, pyrophyllite clay, silica, attapulgite clay, kieselguhr, limestone, calcium carbonate, bentonite, calcium montmorillonite, cottonseed husks, wheat flour, soybean flour, pumice, wood flour, ground walnut shells, lignin and similar substances.
A large number of surface-active substances can advantageously be used in both solid and liquid formulations, especially in those formulations which can be diluted with a carrier prior to use. Surface-active substances may be anionic, cationic, non-ionic or polymeric and they can be used as emulsifiers, wetting agents or suspending agents or for other purposes. Typical surface-active substances include, for example, salts of alkyl sulfates, such as diethanolammonium lauryl sulfate; salts of alkylarylsulfonates, such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate; alkylphenol/alkylene oxide addition products, such as nonylphenol ethoxylate; alcohol/alkylene oxide addition products, such as tridecylalcohol ethoxylate; soaps, such as sodium stearate; salts of alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, such as sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate; dialkyl esters of sulfosuccinate salts, such as sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate; sorbitol esters, such as sorbitol oleate; quaternary amines, such as lauryltrimethylammonium chloride, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, such as polyethylene glycol stearate; block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; and salts of mono- and di-alkylphosphate esters; and also further substances described e.g. in McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood N.J. (1981).
Further adjuvants that can be used in pesticidal formulations include crystallisation inhibitors, viscosity modifiers, suspending agents, dyes, anti-oxidants, foaming agents, light absorbers, mixing auxiliaries, antifoams, complexing agents, neutralising or pH-modifying substances and buffers, corrosion inhibitors, fragrances, wetting agents, take-up enhancers, micronutrients, plasticisers, glidants, lubricants, dispersants, thickeners, antifreezes, microbicides, and liquid and solid fertilisers.
The compositions according to the invention can include an additive comprising an oil of vegetable or animal origin, a mineral oil, alkyl esters of such oils or mixtures of such oils and oil derivatives. The amount of oil additive in the composition according to the invention is generally from 0.01 to 10%, based on the mixture to be applied. For example, the oil additive can be added to a spray tank in the desired concentration after a spray mixture has been prepared. Preferred oil additives comprise mineral oils or an oil of vegetable origin, for example rapeseed oil, olive oil or sunflower oil, emulsified vegetable oil, alkyl esters of oils of vegetable origin, for example the methyl derivatives, or an oil of animal origin, such as fish oil or beef tallow. Preferred oil additives comprise alkyl esters of C8-C22 fatty acids, especially the methyl derivatives of C12-C18 fatty acids, for example the methyl esters of lauric acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid (methyl laurate, methyl palmitate and methyl oleate, respectively). Many oil derivatives are known from the Compendium of Herbicide Adjuvants, 10th Edition, Southern Illinois University, 2010.
The inventive compositions generally comprise from 0.1 to 99% by weight, especially from 0.1 to 95% by weight, of compounds of the present invention and from 1 to 99.9% by weight of a formulation adjuvant which preferably includes from 0 to 25% by weight of a surface-active substance.
Whereas commercial products may preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.
The rates of application vary within wide limits and depend on the nature of the soil, the method of application, the crop plant, the pest to be controlled, the prevailing climatic conditions, and other factors governed by the method of application, the time of application and the target crop. As a general guideline compounds may be applied at a rate of from 1 to 2000 l/ha, especially from 10 to 1000 l/ha.

The active ingredient mixture of the compounds of formula I selected from Table 1 and A with active ingredients described above comprises a compound selected from Table 1 and A and an active ingredient as described above preferably in a mixing ratio of from 100:1 to 1:6000, especially from 50:1 to 1:50, more especially in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1:20, even more especially from 10:1 to 1:10, very especially from 5:1 and 1:5, special preference being given to a ratio of from 2:1 to 1:2, and a ratio of from 4:1 to 2:1 being likewise preferred, above all in a ratio of 1:1, or 5:1, or 5:2, or 5:3, or 5:4, or 4:1, or 4:2, or 4:3, or 3:1, or 3:2, or 2:1, or 1:5, or 2:5, or 3:5, or 4:5, or 1:4, or 2:4, or 3:4, or 1:3, or 2:3, or 1:2, or 1:600, or 1:300, or 1:150, or 1:35, or 2:35, or 4:35, or 1:75, or 2:75, or 4:75, or 1:6000, or 1:3000, or 1:1500, or 1:350, or 2:350, or 4:350, or 1:750, or 2:750, or 4:750. Those mixing ratios are by weight.
The mixtures as described above can be used in a method for controlling pests, which comprises applying a composition comprising a mixture as described above to the pests or their environment, with the exception of a method for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods practised on the human or animal body.
The mixtures comprising a compound of formula I selected from Table 1 and A and one or more active ingredients as described above can be applied, for example, in a single “ready-mix” form, in a combined spray mixture composed from separate formulations of the single active ingredient components, such as a “tank-mix”, and in a combined use of the single active ingredients when applied in a sequential manner, i.e. one after the other with a reasonably short period, such as a few hours or days. The order of applying the compounds of formula I selected from Table 1 and A and the active ingredients as described above is not essential for working the present invention.
The compositions according to the invention can also comprise further solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabilizers, for example unepoxidized or epoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidized coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers, fertilizers or other active ingredients for achieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides, nematocides, plant activators, molluscicides or herbicides.
The compositions according to the invention are prepared in a manner known per se, in the absence of auxiliaries for example by grinding, screening and/or compressing a solid active ingredient and in the presence of at least one auxiliary for example by intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient with the auxiliary (auxiliaries). These processes for the preparation of the compositions and the use of the compounds I for the preparation of these compositions are also a subject of the invention.
The application methods for the compositions, that is the methods of controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, brushing on, dressing, scattering or pouring—which are to be selected to suit the intended aims of the prevailing circumstances—and the use of the compositions for controlling pests of the abovementioned type are other subjects of the invention. Typical rates of concentration are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient. The rate of application per hectare is generally 1 to 2000 g of active ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 10 to 600 g/ha.
A preferred method of application in the field of crop protection is application to the foliage of the plants (foliar application), it being possible to select frequency and rate of application to match the danger of infestation with the pest in question. Alternatively, the active ingredient can reach the plants via the root system (systemic action), by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or by incorporating the active ingredient in solid form into the locus of the plants, for example into the soil, for example in the form of granules (soil application). In the case of paddy rice crops, such granules can be metered into the flooded paddy-field.
The compounds of the invention and compositions thereof are also be suitable for the protection of plant propagation material, for example seeds, such as fruit, tubers or kernels, or nursery plants, against pests of the abovementioned type. The propagation material can be treated with the compound prior to planting, for example seed can be treated prior to sowing. Alternatively, the compound can be applied to seed kernels (coating), either by soaking the kernels in a liquid composition or by applying a layer of a solid composition. It is also possible to apply the compositions when the propagation material is planted to the site of application, for example into the seed furrow during drilling. These treatment methods for plant propagation material and the plant propagation material thus treated are further subjects of the invention. Typical treatment rates would depend on the plant and pest/fungi to be controlled and are generally between 1 to 200 grams per 100 kg of seeds, preferably between 5 to 150 grams per 100 kg of seeds, such as between 10 to 100 grams per 100 kg of seeds.
The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corns, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, rhizomes, cuttings, cut shoots and the like and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds.
The present invention also comprises seeds coated or treated with or containing a compound of formula I. The term “coated or treated with and/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the seed at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the seed material, depending on the method of application. When the said seed product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient. In an embodiment, the present invention makes available a plant propagation material adhered thereto with a compound of formula (I). Further, it is hereby made available, a composition comprising a plant propagation material treated with a compound of formula (I).
Seed treatment comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking and seed pelleting. The seed treatment application of the compound formula (I) can be carried out by any known methods, such as spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing or during the sowing/planting of the seeds.
