Process for the preparation of intermediates useful for making herbicidal sulfonamides derived from substituted 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo(1,5-A)pyrimidines

Abstract

Sulfonamides derived from substituted 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines are prepared by reacting a desired sulfonamide with dimethyl N-cyanodithioiminocarbonate in the presence of a base followed by reaction with an excess of hydrazine and then a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound.The resulting products have a variety of herbicidal uses.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Compounds of general structure I ##STR1## wherein Ar represents an aromatic (substituted or unsubstituted) or heteroaromatic (substituted or unsubstituted) ring system exhibit herbicidal activity against a variety of weed species.

While some of the compounds in this family may be prepared by a conventional, convergent approach via the requisite substituted 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, as described in copending application Ser. No. 574,232 filed Jan. 26, 1984, now abandoned, many analogs cannot be made following this approach. The highly insoluble nature of many of the appropriate substituted 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines prohibit their reaction with the less reactive and less stable aromatic sulfonyl chlorides.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention provides a process for making a compound having the formula ##STR2## wherein Ar represents a 6-carbon aromatic or a 5-carbon heteroaromatic ring system which ring systems are unsubstituted or substituted with halo, nitro, phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylphenyl, halophenyl, nitrophenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxyphenyl, phenoxy, halophenoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylphenoxy, nitrophenoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 mono- or polyhaloalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 mono- or polyhaloalkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthio, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 mono- or polyhaloalkylthio, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylsulfinyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 mono- or polyhaloalkylsulfinyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylsulfonyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 mono- or polyhaloalkylsulphonyl, cyano, alkoxycarbonyl or mono or di C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylaminocarbonyl which comprises reacting a compound having the formula ##STR3## with an excess of hydrazine in the presence of an inert solvent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A novel procedure for the preparation of compounds of formula I is illustrated in Scheme I. The starting aromatic sulfonyl chlorides II and sulfonamide III are commercially available or may be prepared as described in copending application Ser. No. 773,406 filed Sept. 6, 1985, which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 574,232 filed Jan. 26, 1984, (now abandoned) and corresponds to European Pat. Publication No. 150,974. As illustrated in Scheme I, the sulfonamides III are reacted with dimethyl N-cyanodithioiminocarbonate in the presence of a base in a solvent. Bases which are effective in this transformation include tertiary amine (i.e. triethylamine) or alkali metal hydroxides, alkoxides or carbonates (i.e. NaOH, NaOCH.sub.3 or K.sub.2 CO.sub.3). Appropriate solvents include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reaction may be run at temperatures ranging from ambient temperature to reflux. The products of this transformation (IV) may be isolated directly as their salts and converted to their neutral species by acidification. In some instances the salt may be used directly in subsequent transformations without purification or conversion to the corresponding neutral species. In accordance with this invention, compound IV is reacted with an excess of hydrazine to form the intermediate 1,2,4-triazoles V. This reaction is generally carried out in solvents such as acetonitrile, THF, DMF, or DMSO at ambient temperature although higher temperatures may be employed to increase the rate of reaction. The amount of excess hydrazine utilized in this transformation ranges from greater than 200 to about 1000 mole percent, preferably from about 300 to about 700 mole percent. The final step in this sequence for the conversion of compound V to I may be carried out as generally outlined in "Heterocyclic Systems with Bridgehead Nitrogen Atoms", Part Two, W. L. Mosby, Interscience Publishers, 1961, p. 878. A wide variety of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds may be used in this reaction which may be run under acidic (i.e. acetic acid as a solvent), neutral (i.e. DMF as a solvent) or basic conditions (i.e. using alkali metal alkoxides or carbonates in polar aprotic solvents such as DMF or DMSO).

Scheme I ##STR4##

In examples where unsymmetrical 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are employed in the process outlined in Scheme I, the possibility of obtaining two different isomeric condensation products exists. Often the appropriate choice of reaction conditions (i.e. acidic or basic) allows for control of the regiochemistry of the annulation process.

In cases where .beta.-ketoesters or malonic esters are used in the last step of the process described above, the products contain hydroxy groups (i.e. I where X and/or Z is OH). These products may be subjected to further transformations involving conversion of the hydroxy groups to chlorine with phosphorous oxychloride. The resulting halo substituted compounds are capable of undergoing reaction with nucleophiles to affect nucleophilic substitution of the halogen. This procedure is highly useful in the preparation of alkoxy, alkylthio and amino substituted heterocyclic ring systems.

An alternative procedure for the synthesis of intermediates of general structure IV is illustrated in the following equation. The starting materials (VI) may be prepared from aromatic sulfonamides by known art (i.e. F. L. Merchan, Synthesis, 984 (1982); R. Gompper, et al., Chem. Ber., 99, 2885, 2990 (1966)). These intermediates may be reacted with cyanamide in the presence of base. Bases include tertiary amines and alkali metal alkoxides, hydroxides and carbonates. This reaction is most frequently carried out in acetonitrile or THF at temperatures ranging from ambient temperature to reflux. ##STR5##

In certain instances intermediates VI may convert to their corresponding mono or dichloro derivatives (i.e. VII and VIII respectively). This may be accomplished by known art (i.e. E. Kuhle, et al., Angew, Chem Int. Ed. Engl., 6, 649 (1967)). These intermediates may then be advantageously used in a manner analogous to VI in the synthesis of compounds of general structure I. ##STR6##
