This application is a 371 National Stage application of International Application No. PCT/EP2018/082490 filed Nov. 26, 2018 which claims priority to EP 17205018.9, filed Dec. 1, 2017, the entire contents of which applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to pyrimidine derivatives, to compositions comprising the pyrimidine derivatives, to methods of making and using these compositions, and to the use of the pyrimidine derivatives as adjuvants, particularly for agrochemical use. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions comprising the pyrimidine derivatives selected from emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions in water (EW), suspensions of particles in water (SC), soluble liquids (SL), capsule suspensions (CS), suspensions of particles with an emulsion (SE), dispersion concentrates (DC), suspensions of particles in oil (OD), water dispersible granules (WG), soluble granules (SG) and wettable powders (WP).
The efficacy of a biologically active ingredient (AI), for example an agrochemical, in a composition can often be improved by the addition of further ingredients. The observed efficacy of the combination of ingredients can sometimes be significantly higher than that which would be expected from the individual ingredients used. An adjuvant is a substance which can increase the biological activity of an AI but is itself not significantly biologically active. The adjuvant is often a surfactant, and may be included in a formulation or added separately, and is often referred to as being built into formulations or added as tank mix additives.
In addition to the effect on biological activity, the physical properties of an adjuvant are of key importance and must be selected with a view to compatibility with the formulation concerned. For instance, it is generally simpler to incorporate a solid adjuvant into a solid formulation such as a water-soluble or water-dispersible granule. Some adjuvants rely on surfactant properties for biological activity enhancement and one typical class of adjuvants involves an alkyl or aryl group to provide a lipophilic moiety and a (poly)alkoxy chain to provide a hydrophilic moiety. Much has been published on the selection of adjuvants for various purposes, such as Hess, F. D. and Foy, C. L., Weed technology 2000, 14, 807-813. However, there is always a need for further novel adjuvants with novel properties.
The present invention is based on the finding that certain pyrimidine derivatives are surprisingly effective adjuvants, significantly enhancing the biological activity of active ingredients.

Generally any biologically active ingredient will be present at a concentration of from about 0.000001% to about 90% w/w; preferably from about 0.001% to about 90% w/w, in an agrochemical composition.
Agrochemical compositions of the invention may be in the form of a ready-to-use formulation or in concentrate form suitable for further dilution by the end user, and the concentration of agrochemical and compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 will be adjusted accordingly. In concentrated form, compositions of the invention typically contain an agrochemical at from 5 to 90% w/w, more preferably from 5 to 75% w/w, even more preferably from 10 to 50% w/w, of the total composition. Ready-to-use compositions of the invention will typically contain an agrochemical at from 0.000001% to 1% w/w, more preferably from 0.000001% to 0.5% w/w, and more preferably still from 0.001% to 0.1% w/w, of the total composition.
Typically a specific individual compound according to any one of embodiment 1-15 will have a concentration of from about 0.0005% to about 90% w/w of the total composition; preferably from about 0.05% to about 90% w/w. When in concentrated form, compositions of the invention typically contain a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 at from 1% to 80% w/w, preferably from 5% to 60% w/w, more preferably from 5% w/w to 40% w/w and even more preferably from 5% w/w to 20% w/w of the total composition.
Ready to use compositions of the invention typically contain a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 at from about 0.01% to about 2% w/w of the total composition, more preferably still from about 0.05% to about 1% w/w of the total composition. If the specific individual compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 is present with a blend of other compounds according to any one embodiments 1-15 due to a variety of values of n, then these concentration ranges for the individual compound may be varied such that the lower limit is reduced by a factor of 10 and the upper limit is reduced by a factor of 2.
Suitably, in a composition of the present invention, typically a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 where n is an average value, will have a concentration of from about 0.0005% to about 90% w/w of the total composition; preferably from about 0.05% to about 90% w/w. When in concentrated form, compositions of the invention typically contain a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 at from 1% to 80% w/w, preferably from 5% to 60% w/w, more preferably from 10% w/w to 40% w/w and even more preferably from 10% w/w to 20% w/w of the total composition. Ready to use compositions of the invention typically contain a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 at from about 0.01% to about 2% w/w of the total composition, more preferably still from about 0.1% to about 1% w/w of the total composition.
Compounds according to any one of embodiments 1-15 may be formulated in a composition which also contains a biologically active ingredient (for example, an agrochemical) (this is often referred to as a built-in adjuvant formulation) or may be present in a separate composition which does not contain a biologically active ingredient but which is combined with a composition which contains a biologically active ingredient (for example when an end user, such as a farmer, separately adds both a formulation of a biologically active ingredient and a formulation of a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15 to a spray-tank of water, in which each formulation either dissolves or disperses prior to being sprayed by the farmer on his crops) (this is often referred to as a tank-mix adjuvant formulation).
Compositions of the invention may be formulated in any suitable manner known to the man skilled in the art. As mentioned above, in one form a composition of the invention is a formulation concentrate which may be diluted or dispersed (typically in water) by an end-user (typically a farmer) in a spray tank prior to application.
Additional formulation components may be formulated with a compound according to any one of embodiments 1-15 or with a composition according to the present invention. Such additional components include, for example, adjuvants, surfactants, emulsifiers and solvents; standard formulation publications disclose such formulation components suitable for use with the present invention (for example, Chemistry and Technology of Agrochemical Formulations, Ed. Alan Knowles, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, The Netherlands in 1998; and Adjuvants and Additives: 2006 Edition by Alan Knowles, Agrow Report DS256, published by Informa UK Ltd, December 2006). Further standard formulation components suitable for use with the present invention are disclosed in WO2009/130281A1 (see from page 46, line 5 to page 51, line 40).
Thus, compositions of the present invention may also comprise one or more surfactants or dispersing agents to assist the emulsification of the biologically active ingredient on dispersion or dilution in an aqueous medium (dispersant system). The emulsification system is present primarily to assist in maintaining the emulsified biologically active ingredient in water. Many individual emulsifiers, surfactants and mixtures thereof suitable for forming an emulsion system for an agrochemical are known to those skilled in the art and a very wide range of choices is available. Typical surfactants that may be used to form an emulsifier system include those containing ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; aryl or alkylaryl sulphonates and combinations of these with either ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or both; carboxylates and combinations of these with either ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or both. Polymers and copolymers are also commonly used.
Compositions of the present invention may also include solvents, which may have a range of water solubilities. Oils with very low water solubilities may be added to the solvent of the present invention for assorted reasons such as the provision of scent, safening, cost reduction, improvement of emulsification properties and alteration of solubilising power. Solvents with higher water solubility may also be added for various reasons, for instance to alter the ease with which a formulation emulsifies in water, to improve the solubility of a pesticide (agrochemical) or of the other optional additives in the formulation, to change the viscosity of the formulation or to add a commercial benefit.
Other optional ingredients which may be added to the formulation include for example, colourants, scents and other materials which benefit a typical agrochemical formulation.
Compositions of the invention may formulated for example, as emulsion or dispersion concentrates, emulsions in water or oil, as a suspension of particles in an emulsion or oil, as microencapsulated formulations, aerosol sprays or fogging formulations; and these may be further formulated into granular materials or powders, for example for dry application or as water-dispersible formulations. Preferably compositions of the invention will be formulated as, or comprised by an emulsion concentrate (EC), an emulsion in water (EW), a suspension of particles in water (SC), a microcapsule formulation (CS), a soluble liquid (SL), a suspension of particles with an emulsion (SE), a dispersion concentrate (DC) or a suspension of particles in oil (OD).
Compositions of the invention may be used to control pests. The term “pest” as used herein includes insects, fungi, molluscs, nematodes and unwanted plants. Thus, in order to control a pest a composition of the invention may be applied directly to the pest, or to the locus of a pest.
Compositions of the invention also have utility in the seed treatment arena, and thus may be applied as appropriate to seeds.
In the description of the present invention above, the compounds according to any one of embodiments 1 to 15 are described as individual compounds (i.e. n and m have integral values, relating to a specific number of EO or PO units, respectively). Of course, typical alkoxylation reactions will provide a distribution of the number of EO and PO units rather than one single number of units. Therefore, in an alternative aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compound according to any one embodiments 1-15, a composition of said compound, methods of making and using said compositions and use of said compounds as herein described except the values of n and m are defined as an average value [which may be either the mean, the mode or the median value; all three may be very similar to one another] and where n may be integral or non-integral and is selected from 2 to 20 inclusive, particularly from 5 to 15; more particularly from 7 to 12; and where m may be integral or non-integral and is selected from 2 to 20 inclusive, particularly 2 to 15, more particularly 2 to 8.
Various aspects and embodiments of the present invention will now be illustrated in more detail by way of example. It will be appreciated that modification of detail may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
The following pyrimidine adjuvants have been prepared:
As an example, adjuvant 10 was prepared as follows:
Step (a):
To a three necked round bottomed flask equipped with a nitrogen gas inlet, bubbler and thermoprobe, was added oleyl alcohol (48 g, 0.179 mol) followed by lithium tert-butoxide (1M in THF) (179 ml, 0.179 mol) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. A solution of 4,6-difluoropyrimidine (21 g, 0.179 mol) in anhydrous THF (80 mL) in a three necked round bottomed flask equipped with nitrogen gas inlet/bubbler and thermoprobe was cooled to 0° C. and the pre-mixed solution of oleyl alcohol and lithium tert-butoxide was added dropwise, keeping Tint<5° C. Once addition was complete, the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature over 2 hrs. Once the reaction was complete, water (500 ml) and EtOAc (500 ml) were added and the layers separated (brine required). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×500 ml). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the product (63 g, 95%) as an orange liquid.
Step (b):
To a 2 L three necked round bottomed flask equipped with stirrer bar, dropping funnel, thermoprobe, N2 inlet/bubbler and ice/water bath was added methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (Carbowax 550™ MPEGs, average molecular weight of approximately 550, average number of oxyethylene units approximately 10, 50 g, 0.090 mol). Step (a) product (Step (a), 35 g, 0.095 mol) in DMSO (Stock, 400 ml) was added to the methoxypolyethylene glycol in one portion. A solution of potassium tert-butoxide (Stock, 10.7 g, 0.095 mol, 1.05 eq) in THF (Stock, 95 ml) (1M solution) was added in one go via a dropping funnel. The ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature over the weekend. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath and water (400 ml) was added slowly dropwise over 15 minutes then extracted with EtOAc (3×400 ml). The combined organics were washed with water (600 ml) and dried (MgSO4). The crude (60 g) was purified by column chromatography (load in petrol, 9.5×17 cm silica, 120 ml fractions, TLC in 5% MeOH/dichloromethane, KMnO4 to visualize, gradient elution with EtOAc/petrol: 500 ml 30%, 1 L 50% 1 L dichloromethane then MeOH/dichloromethane: 1 L 2%, 1 L 4%, 1 L 6%, 2.5 L 8%) to afford the product (44 g mixed with DMSO). This was dissolved in dichloromethane (300 ml), washed with water (4×300 ml) and dried (MgSO4) to afford the product (36 g) as a yellow/orange oil.
The other adjuvants have been prepared in a similar manner as adjuvant 10 using the appropriate reactants. For example, for adjuvants with 7 EO, Carbowax MPEG 350™ has been used, for adjuvants with 2 EO and 20 EO Methyl Carbitol™ and MPEG 1000™—Ineos/mPEG-OH, MW 1 k (Creative PEGworks) has been used, respectively. For adjuvants with 3 PO Dowanol TPM™ has been used.

Liquid Chromatography:
The samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography in conjunction with diode array detection (DAD), charged aerosol detection (CAD) and mass spectrometry (MS) as follows:
Sample Preparation:
All samples were prepared at either 0.1 mg mL−1 concentration (CAR1224B, CAR1495B, CAR1496A) or 1 mg mL−1 concentration (all other samples), in 90:10 Acetonitrile/H2O (vol/vol), before being transferred to auto-sampler vials. For each material, the same vial was used for the C18 Reverse-Phase and the Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) experiments (as outlined below).
Chromatographic Conditions:
Analyses were performed using a Waters Acquity UPLC instrument. Detection was performed using a Waters photodiode array detector (PDA or DAD) (detection λ=240 or 254 nm), a Thermo Fisher Scientific Corona Veo RS charged aerosol detector (CAD), and a Waters SQ Detector 2 mass spectrometer (MS). Each sample was analysed by two different chromatographic methods:
