Another embodiment of the present disclosure is a use of a compound of Formula I, for protection of a plant against attack by a phytopathogenic organism or the treatment of a plant infested by a phytopathogenic organism, comprising the application of a compound of Formula I, or a composition comprising the compound to soil, a plant, a part of a plant, roots, foliage, and/or seeds.
Additionally, another embodiment of the present disclosure is a composition useful for protecting a plant against attack by a phytopathogenic organism and/or treatment of a plant infested by a phytopathogenic organism comprising a compound of Formula I and a phytologically acceptable carrier material.
The compounds of the present disclosure may be applied by any of a variety of known techniques, either as the compounds or as formulations comprising the compounds. For example, the compounds may be applied to the roots, seeds or foliage of plants for the control of various fungi, without damaging the commercial value of the plants. The materials may be applied in the form of any of the generally used formulation types, for example, as solutions, dusts, wettable powders, flowable concentrates, or emulsifiable concentrates.
Preferably, the compounds of the present disclosure are applied in the form of a formulation, comprising one or more of the compounds of Formula I with a phytologically acceptable carrier. Concentrated formulations may be dispersed in water, or other liquids, for application, or formulations may be dust-like or granular, which may then be applied without further treatment. The formulations can be prepared according to procedures that are conventional in the agricultural chemical art.
The present disclosure contemplates all vehicles by which one or more of the compounds may be formulated for delivery and use as a fungicide. Typically, formulations are applied as aqueous suspensions or emulsions. Such suspensions or emulsions may be produced from water-soluble, suspendible or emulsifiable formulations which are solids, usually known as wettable powders; or liquids, usually known as emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous suspensions, or suspension concentrates. As will be readily appreciated, any material to which these compounds may be added may be used, provided it yields the desired utility without significant interference with the activity of these compounds as antifungal agents.
Wettable powders, which may be compacted to form water dispersible granules, comprise an intimate mixture of one or more of the compounds of Formula I, an inert carrier and surfactants. The concentration of the compound in the wettable powder may be from about 10 percent to about 90 percent by weight based on the total weight of the wettable powder, more preferably about 25 weight percent to about 75 weight percent. In the preparation of wettable powder formulations, the compounds may be compounded with any finely divided solid, such as prophyllite, talc, chalk, gypsum, Fuller's earth, bentonite, attapulgite, starch, casein, gluten, montmorillonite clays, diatomaceous earths, purified silicates or the like. In such operations, the finely divided carrier and surfactants are typically blended with the compound(s) and milled.
Emulsifiable concentrates of the compounds of Formula I may comprise a convenient concentration, such as from about 10 weight percent to about 50 weight percent of the compound, in a suitable liquid, based on the total weight of the concentrate. The compounds may be dissolved in an inert carrier, which is either a water-miscible solvent or a mixture of water-immiscible organic solvents, and emulsifiers. The concentrates may be diluted with water and oil to form spray mixtures in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. Useful organic solvents include aromatics, especially the high-boiling naphthalenic and olefinic portions of petroleum such as heavy aromatic naphtha. Other organic solvents may also be used, for example, terpenic solvents, including rosin derivatives, aliphatic ketones, such as cyclohexanone, and complex alcohols, such as 2-ethoxyethanol.
Emulsifiers which may be advantageously employed herein may be readily determined by those skilled in the art and include various nonionic, anionic, cationic and amphoteric emulsifiers, or a blend of two or more emulsifiers. Examples of nonionic emulsifiers useful in preparing the emulsifiable concentrates include the polyalkylene glycol ethers and condensation products of alkyl and aryl phenols, aliphatic alcohols, aliphatic amines or fatty acids with ethylene oxide, propylene oxides such as the ethoxylated alkyl phenols and carboxylic esters solubilized with the polyol or polyoxyalkylene. Cationic emulsifiers include quaternary ammonium compounds and fatty amine salts. Anionic emulsifiers include the oil-soluble salts (e.g., calcium) of alkylaryl sulphonic acids, oil-soluble salts or sulfated polyglycol ethers and appropriate salts of phosphated polyglycol ether.
Representative organic liquids which may be employed in preparing the emulsifiable concentrates of the compounds of the present invention are the aromatic liquids such as xylene, propyl benzene fractions; or mixed naphthalene fractions, mineral oils, substituted aromatic organic liquids such as dioctyl phthalate; kerosene; dialkyl amides of various fatty acids, particularly the dimethyl amides of fatty glycols and glycol derivatives such as the n-butyl ether, ethyl ether or methyl ether of diethylene glycol, the methyl ether of triethylene glycol, petroleum fractions or hydrocarbons such as mineral oil, aromatic solvents, paraffinic oils, and the like; vegetable oils such as soy bean oil, rape seed oil, olive oil, castor oil, sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, corn oil, cotton seed oil, linseed oil, palm oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, tung oil and the like; esters of the above vegetable oils; and the like. Mixtures of two or more organic liquids may also be employed in the preparation of the emulsifiable concentrate. Organic liquids include xylene, and propyl benzene fractions, with xylene being most preferred in some cases. Surface-active dispersing agents are typically employed in liquid formulations and in an amount of from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight based on the combined weight of the dispersing agent with one or more of the compounds. The formulations can also contain other compatible additives, for example, plant growth regulators and other biologically active compounds used in agriculture.
Aqueous suspensions comprise suspensions of one or more water-insoluble compounds of Formula I, dispersed in an aqueous vehicle at a concentration in the range from about 5 to about 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the aqueous suspension. Suspensions are prepared by finely grinding one or more of the compounds, and vigorously mixing the ground material into a vehicle comprised of water and surfactants chosen from the same types discussed above. Other components, such as inorganic salts and synthetic or natural gums, may also be added to increase the density and viscosity of the aqueous vehicle.
The compounds of Formula I can also be applied as granular formulations, which are particularly useful for applications to the soil. Granular formulations generally contain from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent, based on the total weight of the granular formulation of the compound(s), dispersed in an inert carrier which consists entirely or in large part of coarsely divided inert material such as attapulgite, bentonite, diatomite, clay or a similar inexpensive substance. Such formulations are usually prepared by dissolving the compounds in a suitable solvent and applying it to a granular carrier which has been preformed to the appropriate particle size, in the range of from about 0.5 to about 3 mm. A suitable solvent is a solvent in which the compound is substantially or completely soluble. Such formulations may also be prepared by making a dough or paste of the carrier and the compound and solvent, and crushing and drying to obtain the desired granular particle.
Dusts containing the compounds of Formula I may be prepared by intimately mixing one or more of the compounds in powdered form with a suitable dusty agricultural carrier, such as, for example, kaolin clay, ground volcanic rock, and the like. Dusts can suitably contain from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the compounds, based on the total weight of the dust.
The formulations may additionally contain adjuvant surfactants to enhance deposition, wetting and penetration of the compounds onto the target crop and organism. These adjuvant surfactants may optionally be employed as a component of the formulation or as a tank mix. The amount of adjuvant surfactant will typically vary from 0.01 to 1.0 percent by volume, based on a spray-volume of water, preferably 0.05 to 0.5 volume percent. Suitable adjuvant surfactants include, but are not limited to ethoxylated nonyl phenols, ethoxylated synthetic or natural alcohols, salts of the esters or sulphosuccinic acids, ethoxylated organosilicones, ethoxylated fatty amines and blends of surfactants with mineral or vegetable oils, crop oil concentrate (mineral oil (85%)+emulsifiers (15%)); nonylphenol ethoxylate; benzylcocoalkyldimethyl quaternary ammonium salt; blend of petroleum hydrocarbon, alkyl esters, organic acid, and anionic surfactant; C9-C11 alkylpolyglycoside; phosphated alcohol ethoxylate; natural primary alcohol (C12-C16) ethoxylate; di-sec-butylphenol EO-PO block copolymer; polysiloxane-methyl cap; nonylphenol ethoxylate+urea ammonium nitrrate; emulsified methylated seed oil; tridecyl alcohol (synthetic) ethoxylate (8EO); tallow amine ethoxylate (15 EO); PEG(400) dioleate-99. The formulations may also include oil-in-water emulsions such as those disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/495,228, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
The formulations may optionally include combinations that contain other pesticidal compounds. Such additional pesticidal compounds may be fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, nematocides, miticides, arthropodicides, bactericides or combinations thereof that are compatible with the compounds of the present invention in the medium selected for application, and not antagonistic to the activity of the present compounds. Accordingly, in such embodiments, the other pesticidal compound is employed as a supplemental toxicant for the same or for a different pesticidal use. The compounds of Formula I and the pesticidal compound in the combination can generally be present in a weight ratio of from 1:100 to 100:1.
The compounds of the present disclosure may also be combined with other fungicides to form fungicidal mixtures and synergistic mixtures thereof. The fungicidal compounds of the present disclosure are often applied in conjunction with one or more other fungicides to control a wider variety of undesirable diseases.

Another embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for the control or prevention of fungal attack. This method comprises applying to the soil, plant, roots, foliage, seed or locus of the fungus, or to a locus in which the infestation is to be prevented (for example applying to cereal or grape plants), a fungicidally effective amount of one or more of the compounds of Formula I. The compounds are suitable for treatment of various plants at fungicidal levels, while exhibiting low phytotoxicity. The compounds may be useful both in a protectant and/or an eradicant fashion.
The compounds of the present disclosure have been found to have significant fungicidal effect particularly for agricultural use. Many of the compounds are particularly effective for use with agricultural crops and horticultural plants.
It will be understood by those in the art that the efficacy of the compound for the foregoing fungi establishes the general utility of the compounds as fungicides.
The compounds have broad ranges of activity against fungicidal pathogens. Exemplary pathogens may include, but are not limited to, wheat leaf blotch (Septoria tritici, also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola); wheat leaf rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici, also known as Puccinia triticina); spot blotch of barley (Helminthosporium sativum, also known as Cochliobolus sativus); rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae); and corn smut (Ustilago maydis).
The exact amount of the active material to be applied is dependent not only on the specific active material being applied, but also on the particular action desired, the fungal species to be controlled, and the stage of growth thereof, as well as the part of the plant or other product to be contacted with the compound. Thus, all the compounds, and formulations containing the same, may not be equally effective at similar concentrations or against the same fungal species.
The compounds are effective in use with plants in a disease-inhibiting and phytologically acceptable amount. The term “disease-inhibiting and phytologically acceptable amount” refers to an amount of a compound that kills or inhibits the plant disease for which control is desired, but is not significantly toxic to the plant. This amount will generally be from about 0.1 to about 1000 ppm (parts per million), with 1 to 500 ppm being preferred. The exact concentration of compound required varies with the fungal disease to be controlled, the type of formulation employed, the method of application, the particular plant species, climate conditions, and the like. A suitable application rate is typically in the range from about 0.10 to about 4 pounds/acre (about 0.01 to 0.45 grams per square meter, g/m2).
Any range or desired value given herein may be extended or altered without losing the effects sought, as is apparent to the skilled person for an understanding of the teachings herein.
The compounds of Formula I may be made using well-known chemical procedures. Intermediates not specifically mentioned in this disclosure are either commercially available, may be made by routes disclosed in the chemical literature, or may be readily synthesized from commercial starting materials utilizing standard procedures.
The following examples are presented to illustrate the various aspects of the compounds of the present disclosure and should not be construed as limitations to the claims.
Commercially available 4-nitro-isoindole-1,3-dione (1) (25 g, 0.13 mol) was stirred in water (300 mL) at 0° C. Over a few minutes, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (30% w/w, 35 g, 0.26 mol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at 0-5° C. The cold solution was acidified with concentrated HCl (22 mL, 0.26 mol) and the product precipitated as a white solid. After allowing to stand overnight in a refrigerator, the mixture was filtered to afford the title compound (26.3 g, 96%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.2 (s, 1H), 8.15 (d, 1H), 7.93 (d, 1H), 7.88-7.65 (m, 2H); ESIMS m/z 211 ([M+H]+), m/z 209 ([M−H]−).
Sodium hydroxide (2N, 250 mL, 0.5 mol) was diluted with water (150 mL) and stirred vigorously at −5° C. Bromine (6.4 mL, 0.25 mol) was added dropwise over 25 min to form a clear yellow solution. To this solution was added 6-nitrophthalamic acid (2) (26 g, 0.124 mol) and the mixture was heated immediately with stifling in an oil bath which was preheated to 45° C. After stirring 35 min, the mixture was cooled to 0° C., diluted with water (−200 mL), and acidified by the slow addition of 2N HCl (200 mL) with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand in a refrigerator overnight and then filtered to afford the title compound as a rust orange solid (19.75 g, 87.8%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 7.35-7.15 (m, 1H), 7.02 (d, 1H), 6.9 (d, 1H); ESIMS m/z 181 ([M−H])−).
A solution containing 6-nitroanthranilic acid (3) (19.65 g, 0.108 mol) and commercially available 6,6-dimethylfulvene (4) (17.2 g, 0.162 mol) in dimethoxyethane (DME, 125 mL) was added dropwise over 50 min to a stirred, 70° C. solution of tert-butylnitrite (90%, 17.3 g, 0.151 mol) in DME (350 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 h and was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated to yield a crude thick black oil which was directly subjected to silica gel chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate in petroleum ether (0-5% gradient) to afford 10 g of the crude product as a yellow oil, which partially crystallized on standing. Recrystallization from heptane gave the title compound (6.5 g, 26.5%) as a pale yellow solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 7.70 (d, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H), 7.09-7.01 (m, 1H), 7.00-6.92 (m, 2H), 5.33 (bs, 1H), 4.45 (bs, 1H), 1.55 (s, 6H); EIMS m/z 227.
9-Isopropylidene-5-nitro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-methano-naphthalene (5) (6.5 g, 29 mmol) was stirred in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) at room temperature with rhodium (5%) on carbon (3 g). The head space was evacuated and was replaced with hydrogen. Positive pressure was maintained by the use of a balloon filled with hydrogen. After 4 days, the reaction mixture was filtered and was evaporated to afford the title compound as an 87:13 syn:anti mixture (5.6 g, 97.4%) as a pale brown oil: 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.91-6.87 (m, 1H), 6.63 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.47 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 3.51 (s, 2H), 3.18 (s, 1H), 3.13 (s, 1H), 1.94-1.87 (m, 2H), 1.52 (d, J=9.9 Hz, 1H), 1.21-1.13 (m, 2H), 1.05-0.97 (m, 1H), 0.80 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 3H), 0.79 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (151 MHz, CDCl3) δ 147.94, 140.30, 130.32, 126.60, 113.52, 112.86, 69.17, 46.79, 42.23, 27.94, 27.02, 25.65, 22.54, 22.26; EIMS m/z 201; two peaks; 83:17 ratio.
To methyl 3-iodopyrazine-2-carboxylate (7) (10 g, 37.88 mmol) in DMF (Volume: 300 mL) was added methyl chlorodifluoroacetate (27 g, 0.189 mol), potassium fluoride (13.2 g, 0.227 mol), and copper chloride (22.47 g., 0.227 mol). The reaction was heated at 120° C. for 12 h. The reaction mixture was poured into ethyl ether (1000 ml) and washed with brine (3×300 ml), dried over MgSO4 before the solvent was removed. The residue was loaded onto a silica column and was eluted using ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient to afford the title compound (3.19 g, 41%) as an amber oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.85 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 8.82 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 4.05 (s, 3H); EIMS m/z 206.
To a 1-ml vial containing 9-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-methano-naphthalen-5-ylamine (6) (0.1 g, 0.497 mmol) and DCM (Volume: 2 mL) was added a 2.0 M solution of trimethylaluminum (0.017 g, 0.243 mmol). After evolution of gas ceased, methyl 3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxylate (8) (0.113 g, 0.546 mmol) was added as a solution in dichloromethane (0.5 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into 2N HCl (5 ml) and after bubbling ceased, was extracted with dichloromethane (2×5 ml) and was passed through a Biotage phase separator. The organic extracts were combined and the solvent was removed. The residue was loaded onto a silica column and was eluted using a ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient to afford the title compound (0.15 g, 80%) as a white solid with 4:1 syn:anti product: mp 173-177° C.; 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.33 (s, 1H), 8.90 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 8.86 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.97 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.20-7.14 (m, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 3.40 (s, 1H), 3.28 (s, 1H), 2.02-2.00 (m, 2H), 1.65 (d, J=10.0 Hz, 1H), 1.32-1.18 (m, 2H), 1.05-0.98 (m, 1H), 0.84 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6H); ESIMS m/z 376.3 ([M+H]+), m/z 374.4 ([M−H])−).

Leaf Blotch of Wheat (Mycosphaerella graminicola; anamorph: Septoria tritici; Bayer code SEPTTR): Wheat plants (variety Yuma) were grown from seed in a greenhouse in 50% mineral soil/50% soil-less Metro mix until the first leaf was fully emerged, with 7-10 seedlings per pot. These plants were inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of SEPTTR either prior to or after fungicide treatments. After inoculation the plants were kept in 100% relative humidity (one day in a dark dew chamber followed by two to three days in a lighted dew chamber) to permit spores to germinate and infect the leaf. The plants were then transferred to a greenhouse for disease to develop.
Wheat Leaf Rust (Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici, synonym Puccinia triticina; Bayer code PUCCRT): Wheat plants (variety Yuma) were grown from seed in a greenhouse in soil-less Metro mix until the first leaf was fully emerged, with 7-10 seedlings per pot. These plants were inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of PUCCRT prior to fungicide treatments. After inoculation the plants were kept in 100% relative humidity one day to permit spores to germinate and infect the leaf. The plants were then transferred to a greenhouse for disease to develop.
Spot Blotch of Barley (Cochliobolus sativus: anamorph Helmithosporium sativum; Bayer code COCHSA): Barley plants (variety Harrington) were grown from seed in a greenhouse in soil-less Metro mix until the first leaf was fully emerged, with 7-10 seedlings per pot. These plants were inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of COCHSA prior to fungicide treatments. After inoculation the plants were kept in 100% relative humidity one day to permit spores to germinate and infect the leaf. The plants were then transferred to a greenhouse for disease to develop.
The following table presents the activity of typical compounds of the present disclosure when evaluated in these experiments. The effectiveness of the test compounds in controlling disease was determined by assessing the severity of disease on treated plants, then converting the severity to percent control based on the level of disease on untreated, inoculated plants.
