Pyrimidine derivatives, preparation processes thereof, herbicide containing the same, and herbicidal compositions containing the same along with other active ingredient

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine derivatives, preparation processes thereof, herbicides containing the same, and herbicidal compositions containing the same along with another active ingredients.
RELATED ART
Pyrimidine derivatives having a phenoxy group at the 2-position which possess herbicidal activities are disclosed, for example, in Agric. Biol. Chem. 30(9), 896 (1966), Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55729/1979, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 117486/1979, Japanese Patent Publication No. 9474/1967, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 174059/1987, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 115870/1988.
However, the compounds described in these publications are accompanied by the drawback that their herbicidal activities are insufficient or their tolerance to important crops involves problems when used in paddy fields or upland fields.
As a labor saving device, conventionally several types of herbicides are generally applied in combination to control weeds. However, sethoxydim, fluazifop and the like, which are extensively employed for the control of gramineous weeds in upland cropping, have the deficiency that they exhibit antagonism to herbicides for broad leaf weeds when used in combination therewith and their herbicidal activities are considerably reduced. Accordingly, these herbicides cannot be used to control gramineous weeds and broad leaf weeds with one treatment and therefore at least two foliar applications per year are required. This is both time consuming and increase the cost of controlling the weeds. Such antagonism is observed on many other herbicides. For example, the combined use of bensulfuron and a thiocarbonate-type herbicide in paddy fields reduces their herbicidal activities due to antagonism.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have proceeded with an investigation on phenoxypyrimidine derivatives with a view toward obtaining herbicides which can exhibit, without crop injury, better controls even at a lower application rate compared with conventional herbicides and with a long period of application timing from an initial stage of emergence to the growth stage. The novel 2-phenoxypyrimidine derivatives of this invention, which contain a hydroxyiminomethyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxyiminomethyl group at the 2-position of the phenyl group have excellent properties as herbicides having a high degree of selectivity. They have the excellent selectivity in paddy field and upland field cropping. They have herbicidal activities even at low application rates against an extremely wide variety of weed species and they do not injure the harvest crops. These compounds have also been found to show synergistic herbicidal action when used in combination with other herbicides.
A first object of the invention is to provide novel pyrimidine derivatives.
A second object of the invention is to provide a process for the preparation of the pyrimidine derivatives of this invention.
A third object of the invention is to provide selective herbicides which in paddy field and/or upland field cropping, are effective even at low application rates against an extremely wide variety of weed species but do not injure important cash crops.
A fourth object of the invention is to provide composite herbicidal compositions comprising at least one pyrimidine derivative of this invention and at least one other herbicide, particularly such compositions which exhibit synergistic herbicidal action such that the herbicidal effects of the pyrimidine derivative of this invention therein is improved significantly to the extent that it is possible to reduce the application rate thereof and the herbicidal effects thereof last for several months after a single treatment.
The novel herbicidal compounds of this invention are 2-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyloxy)benzaldoximes, i.e., 2-phenoxy-4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimidines bearing a free or etherified aldoximino group as an ortho substituent on the benzene ring.

The preparation process represented by Process A is generally conducted in the presence of an inert solvent. By the term "inert solvent" as used herein, are meant, for example, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. The reaction temperature may range from 0.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent. It is however desirable to react them at 10.degree.-30.degree. C.
In Process B, the first-step reaction is generally conducted in the presence of a base in a mixed solvent of water and an alcohol. Further, the second-step reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a base in an inert solvent.
Examples of the bases in the preparation process represented by Process B include carbonates such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate and tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine and pyridine.
The temperature of the first-step reaction in Process B, namely, the reaction temperature of the compound [II] and the hydroxylamine salt may range from 0.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent. It is however desirable to conduct the reaction at about 10.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C.
The halide represented by the formula [V] and employed in the second-step reaction in Process B is generally used in an amount of from 1-5 mole equivalents relative to the compound generally represented by the formula [IV], namely, 2-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyloxy)benzaldehydoxime. Examples of the inert solvent used upon conducting the second-step reaction include hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride and chloroform; ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; esters such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate; aprotic polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide and 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolinone; and nitriles such as acetonitrile. The reaction temperature may range from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent, with about 50.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C. being desired. After completion of the reaction, usual post treatments are conducted and the compound represented by the formula [I] can be purified by recrystallization or column chromatography.
The starting material in both Process A and Process B, i.e., 2-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyloxy)benzaldehyde can be prepared by the process disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 174059/1987.
Chemically, the compounds according to the invention are novel compounds similar to the compounds disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 174059/1987 referred to above except that the formyl group bonded to the 2-position of the phenyl group has been replaced by a hydroxyiminomethyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxyiminomethyl group. Biologically however, owing to the above replacement, the compounds of the invention have been imparted with extremely good properties as paddy field herbicides and upland field herbicides. Namely, they are effective against substantially most of harmful weeds which cause problems in paddy fields and upland fields and moreover, show no or extremely little injury against broadleaf crops such as soybean, cotton, peanut and beet, to which the compounds disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 174059/1987 were not usable because of injury. The selectivity to these crops have therefore been improved significantly. Described specifically, the compounds of the invention can be used for broadleaf crops such as soybean, cotton, peanut, beet, potato and tobacco, and depending on the stage and method of application, for substantially all crops including corn, rice and wheat.
Herbicides containing one or more of the compounds of the invention, which are represented by the formula [I], act extremely effectively against substantially most of harmful weeds which cause problems in paddy fields or upland fields. In paddy fields, they show extremely good herbicidal effects for very troublesome gramineous weeds such as barnyardgrass, Leersia oryzoides and common reed; very troublesome cyperaceous weeds such as yellow nutsedge, smallflower umbrellaplant, Cyperus seroyinus, bulrush, Scirpus nipponicus, Eleocharis kuroguwai, slender spikerush and Fimbristylis miliacea; very troublesome arrowhead weeds such as Sagittaria pygmaea, arrowhead and narrowleaf waterplantain; and broadleaf weeds such as Monochoria vaginalis, toothcup and parsnip. In upland fields, they exhibit superb herbicidal effects for broadleaf weeds such as common chickweed, common lambsquarters, shepherd's purse, redroot pigweed, hemp sesbania, prickly sida, velvetleaf, morningglories, common cocklebar and common groundsel; gramineous weeds such as barnyardgrass, green foxtail, large crabgrass, goosegrass, annual bluegrass, foxtail meadow, oat, wild oat, quackgrass, downy brome, bermudagrass, creeping bentgrass, broomsedge, silky bentgrass, singlegrass, fall panicum, johnsongrass and shattercane; cyperaceous weeds such as rice flatsedge and yellow/purple nutsedge; especially perennial weeds such as johnsongrass, shattercane and orchardgrass.
From the results of an enzyme assay on the enzyme, ALS (acetolactate syntase), which is believed to be a target site of the herbicides containing one or more of the compounds of the invention, which are represented by the formula [I], have been found to show high inhibitory activities against weeds such as barnyardgrass, johnsongrass and green foxtail. In contrast, they do not show inhibitory activities against broadleaf crops such as pea, cotton and peanut. These results indicate that the broadleaf crops such as pea, cotton, peanut and the like show high tolerance against the herbicides according to the invention. In pot tests, they were also found to show no injury or even if any, extremely slight injury against broadleaf crops such as soybean, cotton, beet, peanut, common sunflower, rape and greens. Depending on the method of application, they can also be used, without any injury, for gramineous crops such as corn, wheat, rice, barley and sugar cane. Especially, they can be used effectively for cotton, soybean and peanut without injury.
The herbicides containing one or more of the compounds of the invention, which are represented by the formula [I], are effective in all application methods such as soil application, soil incorporation, foliar application and band application.
Upon application of the compounds of the formula [I] according to this invention as herbicides, they may be applied neat to weeds to be treated. In general, they are however mixed with an inert liquid carrier or solid carrier and formed into a commonly-used formulation such as powder, granules, wettable powder, emulsion or flowable formulation. One or more auxiliary agents can also be added if necessary for formulation.
Any carrier can be used as long as it is usable in conventional agricultural or horticultural chemicals, no matter whether it is solid or liquid. No particular limitation is therefore imposed on the carrier.
Exemplary solid carriers include mineral powders such as clay, talc, bentonite, calcium carbonate, diatomaceous earth and white carbon; vegetable powders such as soybean flour and starch; high molecular compounds such as petroleum resins, polyvinyl alcohol and polalkylene glycols; urea; and waxes. Illustrative liquid carriers include various organic solvents usch as xylene, methyl-naphthalene and alkylbenzenes; various oils such as vegetable oils; and water.
As auxiliary agents, surfactants, binders, stabilizers and the like which are generally used in agricultural or horticultural chemicals can be used either singly or in combination. In some instances, industrial fungicides, antiseptics and the like can also be incorporated for the control of bacteria and fungi.
As exemplary surfactants, non-ionic, anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants can be used either singly or in combination. Those obtained by adding ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to alkyl phenols, higher alcohols, alkynaphthols, higher fatty acids, fatty acid esters and the like can be used as preferred non-ionic surfactants. Exemplary anionic surfactants include the alkyl-sulfonate salts, alkyl sulfate ester salts, phosphate ester salts, lignine sulfonate salts and the like of alkyl-phenols, alkylnaphthols, higher alcohols, higher fatty acids, fatty acid esters and the like. Illustrative binders include lignine sulfonic acid, alginic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, gum arabic, CMC (sodium carboxymethylcellulose), etc.
As exemplary stabilizers, phenolic compounds, thiol compounds, high molecular fatty acid esters and the like can be used for the protection from oxidation. In addition, phosphate salts can be used as pH regulators. Light stabilizers may also be used if necessary.
The content of each compound of the formula [I] in the associated herbicide according to the invention varies depending on the formulation. In general, it can be 0.05-20 wt. % in a powder, 1-50 wt. % in a wettable powder, 0.05-15 wt. % in a granule, 1-50 wt. % in an emulsion, 1-50 wt. % in a flowable formulation and 1-50 wt. % in a dry flowable formulation. Preferably, it can be 0.5-5 wt. % in a powder, 10-40 wt. % in a wettable powder, 0.5-8 wt. % in a granule, 5-20 wt. % in an emulsion, 10-30 wt. % in a flowable formulation and 10-40 wt. % in a dry flowable formulation.
The total content of auxiliary agents may be 0-80 wt. %. The content of the carrier is the value which is obtained by subtracting the contents of the compound as an active ingredient and of auxiliary agents.
When the compounds of the invention are used in paddy field or upland fields, the application rate can be 0.1-10 kg/ha, preferably 0.5-5 kg/ha in terms of active ingredient.
The herbicides of the invention, which contains the compounds represented by the formula [I], may be formulated together with one or more other herbicides or one more of agricultural chemicals such fungicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators, fertilizers and soil improving agents, to say nothing of combined use therewith.
In particular, the compounds according to the invention exhibited surprisingly high synergistic herbicidal effects when combined with photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides (for example, urea herbicides, triazine herbicides, anilide herbicides or bentazone, etc.) When the compounds of the invention were used, for example, with diuron, triazine, Propanil, Bentazon and the like, unexpectedly excellent activities were shown compared to the herbicidal effects available when they were applied singly, thereby making it possible to apply at a lower rate. Furthermore, the herbicidal effects have been found to last for several months even when treated only once.
Illustrative compounds of the formula [VI], which can be mixed with the pyrimidine derivatives of formula [I] to form compositions according to the invention, include 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (atrazine), 2-(2-chloro-4-ethylamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-ylamino)-2-methylpropionitrile (cyanazine), 2-methylthio-4-methylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (ametryn), 2-methylthio-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (prometryn), 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (simazine), 2-methoxy-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (prometon), and 2-methylthio-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (simetryn).
Exemplary compounds represented by the formula [VII] include 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea (linuron), 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (isoproturon), 1,1-dimethyl-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)urea (fluometuron), and 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron).
Exemplary compounds represented by the formula [VIII] include N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propanamide (propanil), N-(3-chloro-4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylpentamide (MT-5950), and 3,4-dichloro-2-methylacrylanilide (dicryl).
Illustrative compounds represented by the formula [IX] include 2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide (propachlor), N-methoxymethyl-2',6'-diethyl-2-chloroacetanilide (alachlor), 2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(butoxymethyl)acetanilide (butachlor), and 2-chloro-2'-ethyl-6'-methyl-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetanilide (metolachlor).
Against the upland weeds to which the aforementioned compounds represented by the formula [I] show effects, the compositions according to the invention can exhibit unexpectedly high synergistic effects compared to those available when the compounds are used singly. Their herbicidal effects have been improved 5-10 times and moreover, and thus-improved herbicidal effects last for several months. In addition, as a result of the improved effects, the application rate can be reduced so that the compositions of the invention can be used very safely for soybean, cotton, peanut, beet, corn, rice, wheat and the like without injury.
Furthermore, when the compounds of the formula [I] according to the invention are applied singly, 30-50 days are required until their action is exhibited. In contrast, the herbicidal compositions according to the invention can exhibit their action in 3-10 days after treatment, thereby making it possible to provide a significant contribution for increased yields of crops.
The contents of active ingredients in each herbicidal composition of the invention widely vary depending on the kind of a weed to be controlled, the leaf stage of the weed, the kind of the other ingredient to be mixed, and other conditions. Per part by weight of the compound of the formula [I], the other compound can however be used in an amount of 0.05-100 parts by weight, preferably 0.1-80 parts by weight.
Similarly to the herbicides containing the compounds represented by the formula [I], the herbicidal compositions according to the invention are effective in all application methods such as soil application, soil incorporation application, foliar application and band application.
Upon application of each herbicidal compositions according to this invention, the mixture of its active ingredients can be used neat. In general, the active ingredients are however mixed with an inert liquid carrier or solid carrier and formed into a commonly-used formulation such as powder, granules, wettable powder, emulsion or flowable formulation. One or more auxiliary agents can also be added if necessary for formulation. Usable carriers and auxiliary agents are similar to those described above with respect to the herbicides containing the compounds represented by the formula [I].
When the herbicidal compositions according to the invention are used in upland field, the application rate varies depending on various factors, for example, the target weed, the target crop, the method and timing of application, the weather, the type of soil, and the kinds of active ingredients combined. The application rate can be 0.05-5 kg/ha, preferably 0.1-3 kg/ha in terms of active ingredients.

TEST 1
ALS (Acetolactate Syntase) Enzyme Assay
To determine the selectivity in enzyme level between crops and weeds, and ALS enzyme assay was conducted using pea as a representative of broadleaf crops and barnyardgrass as a representative of narrowleaf weeds.
After seeds of pea and barnyardgrass were allowed to germinate at 25.degree. C. for 8-14 days in a dark place, partially-purified suspensions (Suspensions A) of acetolactate syntase were separately obtained from seedlings in accordance with the method described in the literature, Plant Physiology, 75, 827-831.
In a test tube, 0.5 mg of one of test compounds was weighed, followed by the addition of 0.15 ml of a 20 mM K.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 solution and 0.25 ml of a reaction substrate medium which consisted of 40 mM of K.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 40 mM of sodium pyruvate, 1 mM of TPP, 1 mM of MgCl.sub.2 and 20 .mu.M of FAD so that 0.4 ml of a reaction solution (Solution B) was prepared. Added to 0.4 ml of Solution B was 0.1 ml of suspension A. After the resultant mixture was shaken for 1 hour in a thermostat water bath controlled at 30.degree. C., 50 .mu.l of 6N sulfuric acid were added to terminate the reaction.
Next, the reaction-terminated liquid mixture was transferred into a thermostat water bath controlled at 60.degree. C. and was heated for 15 minutes. Thereafter, 0.5 ml of a 0.5% creatine solution and 0.5 ml of a 5% alkaline .alpha.-naphthol solution were added, and the resultant mixture was maintained at 60.degree. C. for 15 minutes. As a result, the test solution developed a pink-red color. After the above operation, the absorbance of the test solution at 525 nm was measured by a spectrophotometer (Absorbance 1 of Test Compound).
On the other hand, the absorbance (Absorbance 2 of Blank) of a solution obtained by subjecting a portion of Solution B, said portion being free of the test compound, to the above operation and the absorbance (Absorbance 3 of sulfuric acid terminated) of another solution obtained by subjecting another portion of Solution B, said portion containing 50 .mu.l of 6N sulfuric acid as a test compound, were measured at the same time. Based on the values of the respective measurements, the enzyme assay at 1,000 ppm (0.5 mg/0.5 ml) of each compound was determined. The results are shown in Table 2. ##EQU1##
Incidentally, Comparative Compounds A and B mean the following compounds (this also applies to Test 2 and Test 3). ##STR44##
The results of this test indicates that the compounds of the invention show strong inhibition in enzyme level against gramineous weeds such as barnyardgrass but show no inhibition to broadleaf crops such as pea, in other words, have distinct selectivity.

TEST 2
Upland Soil Application Test
Resin-made 1/2500-are pots were filled with the soil of an upland field. After they were fertilized, soybean, peanut and cotton were seeded and 2-3 cm soil covering was applied. Seeds of redroot pigweed, common lambsquarters, barnyardgrass, green foxtail, large crabgrass, foxtail meadow and johnsongrass had been uniformly mixed with the soil. They were allowed to germinate in a green house. One day later (before emergence of weeds), a wettable powder prepared from a predetermined amount of each test compound in a similar manner to the method described in Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and then sprayed evenly at an application rate equal to 10 l per are onto the surface of the soil by means of a pressure-operated ULV (ultra low volume) sprayer. Influence to the crops and weeds were observed 30 days later. The results are shown in Table 3, in which the degree of damages of each test plant and the degree of injury to each crop were determined by comparing the air-dried weights of the test plant and crop with those of the corresponding plant and crop in untreated pots and are shown in accordance with the following standard:

TEST 6
Petri Dish Test
A filter paper was placed in each glass-made Petri dish having a diameter of 9 cm. A compound dissolved in acetone was added in a predetermined amount. The filter paper was then dried in air to remove acetone. Seeds of narrowleaf waterplantain were placed on the filter paper and 10 ml of water were poured into the Petri dish. The seeds were allowed to grow at 25.degree. C. in a bright room. Fourteen days later, the state of growth of narrowleaf water-plantain was observed. The results are summarized in Table 7.
In the table, the degree of damages of the test plant was determined by comparing the state of growth of the plant with that of the plant in an untreated group and is shown in accordance with the following standard:
______________________________________Rank Growth rate (%) Degree of damages______________________________________5 0-5 (Death)4 6-10 (Severe damages)3 11-40 (Medium damages)2 41-70 (Small damages)1 71-90 (Slight damages)0 91-100 (No damages)______________________________________
The results of Test 4 to Test 6 indicate that the compounds of the invention represented by the formula [I] exhibit high herbicidal effects against gramineous weeds including some broadleaf weeds and perennial weeds in soil treatment under submerged condition and can be used for rice under extremely low injury conditions.

TEST 7
Upland Foliar Application Test by Mixed Formulations
Resin-made 1/10,000-are pots were filled with the soil of an upland field. Redroot pigweed, morningglories, johnsongrass, barnyardgrass and green foxtail were separately seeded and were allowed to germinate in a green house. When each plant grew to the stage of 2-3 leaves, an emulsion formulated from predetermined amounts of two test compounds of different kinds in a similar manner to the method described in Formulation Example 16 was diluted with water to a predetermined dilution rate and then sprayed at an application rate equal to 5 l per are onto the foliage of each plant by means of a pressure-operated ULV (ultra low volume) sprayer. Influence to the weeds were observed on the 30th day after the spray of the herbicides. The results are shown in Table 8. In the table, each Ea means an acutally measured value of herbicidal activities when two kinds of herbicides were mixed. Each Ec is an expected value for herbicidal activities, calculated in accordance with the below-described calculation formula proposed by Colby et al. [Colby, S. R., Weed 15, 20-22 (1967)]. Ea>Ec indicates the existence of synergistic action while Ea>Ec indicates the existence of antagonistic action. ##EQU2## Ec: Growth inhibition rate (%) expected when Ingredient I and Ingredient II are mixed.
Ex: Growth inhibition rate (%) when treated with Ingredient I alone.
Ey: Growth inhibition rate (%) when treated with Ingredient II alone.

TEST 8
Upland Foliar Application Test by Mixed Formulations
Resin-made 1/10,000-are pots were filled with the soil of an upland field. Redroot pigweed and johnsongrass were separately seeded and were allowed to germinate in a green house. When each plant grew to the stage of 2-3 leaves, emulsions formulated with concentration gradient from predetermined amounts of two test compounds of different kinds in a similar manner to the method described in Formulation Example 16 was diluted with water to a predetermined dilution rate and then sprayed at an application rate equal to 5 l per are onto the foliage of each plant by means of a pressure-operated ULV (ultra low volume) sprayer. Influence to the weeds were observed on the 40th day after the spray of the herbicides. The results are shown in Table 9, In the table, Ea have the same meanings as in Test 7, and Ea>Ec indicates the existence of synergistic action while Ea<Ec indicates the existence of antagonistic action.
In Tests 7 and 8, the compounds of the invention represented by formula [I] showed, upon application in combination with the corresponding photosynthesis inhibiting herbicides, high synergistic effects against broadleaf weeds and gramineous weeds in foliar application and their activities increased as much as about 10 times the activities available when they were used singly. They showed neither such antagonistic action as exhibited by sethoxydim nor such antagonistic action and additive action as shown by blazer.

TEST 9
Test on Fast-Acting Property of Mixed Formulation in Upland Foliar Application
Resin-made 1/10,000-are pots were filled with the soil of an upland field. Redroot pigweed, johnsongrass and barnyardgrass were separately seeded and were allowed to germinate in a green house. When each plant grew to the stage of 2-3 leaves, emulsion formulated respectively from predetermined amounts of test compounds alone and predetermined amounts of mixtures with other herbicides in a similar manner to the method described in Formulation Example 16 were diluted with water to a predetermined dilution rate and then sprayed at an application rate equal to 5 l per are onto the foliage of each plant by means of a pressure-operated ULV (ultra low volume) sprayer. Influence to the weeds were observed on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 35th days after the spray of the herbicides. The results are shown in Table 10. In the table, the degrees of damages to the respective test plants and the degrees of injury of the crops are shown similarly to Test 2.
The results of the present test indicate the effects of mixing that the compounds of the invention can kill weeds in 7 days when applied in combination with other herbicides although they require as many as 30-50 days for killing the weeds when used singly.
