The present invention relates to the compounds of the formula I in the form of the free base or in the form of an acid addition salt. Acids which can be used for salt formation are inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid or toluenesulfonic acid.
Some of the compounds of the formula I have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms. Racemates and diastereomers can therefore occur. The invention embraces the pure isomers as well as their mixtures. The mixtures of diastereomers can be resolved to give the components by customary methods, for example by selective crystallization from suitable solvents or by chromatography. Racemates can be resolved into the enantiomers by conventional methods, for example by salt formation with an optically active acid, separation of the diastereomeric salts and setting free of the pure enantiomers by means of a base.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula V ##STR11## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 have the meanings given under formula I and Z is the leaving group halogen, alkylthio, alkanesulfonyloxy or arylsulfonyloxy, alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl, with an amine of the formula VI, ##STR12## in which R.sup.5 and Q have the meanings given under formula I, and, if appropriate, carbamoylating the resulting compounds of the formula I on the nitrogen or chlorinating or brominating them on the C.sub.5 atom of the pyrimidine.
The above-described substitution reaction is known in principle. The leaving group Z can be varied within wide limits and can be, for example, a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, or alkylthio such as methylthio or ethylthio, or alkanesulfonyloxy such as methane-, trifluoromethane- or ethanesulfonyloxy, or arylsulfonyloxy such as benzenesulfonyloxy or toluenesulfonyloxy, or alkylsulfonyl such as methyl- or ethylsulfonyl, or arylsulfonyl such as phenyl- or toluenesulfonyl.
The abovementioned reaction is carried out in a temperature range from 20.degree.-150.degree. C., expediently in the presence of a base and, if appropriate, in an inert organic solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, methanol, ethanol, butanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, toluene, chlorobenzene or xylene. Mixtures of the solvents mentioned can also be used.
Examples of suitable bases are carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, hydroxides, alcoholates or hydrides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium methylate or sodium hydride, or organic bases such as triethylamine or pyridine. A second equivalent of the amine VI can also be employed as auxiliary base.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I' ##STR13## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and Q have the meanings given under the formula I and R.sup.2' is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxy, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)haloalkoxy, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylthio, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylamino or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) dialkylamino, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula VII ##STR14## in which Z and Z' can be identical or different and the leaving group is halogen, alkylthio, alkanesulfonyloxy, arylsulfonyloxy, alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 have the meaning given under formula I, with a compound of the formula VI ##STR15## in which R.sup.5 and Q have the meanings given under formula I, to give a compound of the formula VIII ##STR16## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.3, R.sup.5, Q and Z' have the meanings given above, and, in a second reaction step reacting the compound of the formula VIII with a compound of the formula IX
HR.sup.2' (IX),
in which R.sup.2' has the meanings given above, and, if appropriate, carbamoylating the resulting compound of the formula I' on the nitrogen or, if appropriate and if R.sup.3 is hydrogen, chlorinating or brominating the compound.
The procedure for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I' is completely analogous to the above-described preparation of the compounds of the formula I by reacting the compounds V with the compounds VI.
The leaving group Z' required in the second reaction step can have the same meaning as the above-described leaving group Z. As regards the reaction conditions, the same solvents, auxiliary bases and reaction temperatures can be used in the second reaction step as in the above-described preparation of the compounds of the formula I from the compounds of the formulae V and VI. Both reaction steps can be carried out without working-up after the first reaction step in the form of a one-pot reaction.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I', which comprises reacting a compound of the abovementioned formula VII with a compound of the formula IX to give a compound of the formula X ##STR17## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 have the meaning given under formula I, R.sup.2' is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkoxy, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)haloalkoxy, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylthio, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylamino or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)dialkylamino and Z has the meanings given under formula (V), reacting the compound of the formula X with an amine of the formula VI, and, if appropriate, carbamoylating the resulting compound of the formula I' on the nitrogen or, if R.sup.3 is hydrogen, chlorinating or brominating the compound.
As regards the reaction conditions, both reaction steps can be carried out using the same solvents, auxiliary bases and reaction temperatures as in the case of the above-described preparation of the compounds of the formula I from the compounds of the formulae V and VI.
Both reaction steps can be carried out without working-up after the first reaction step in the form of a one-pot reaction.
The starting compounds of the formula V can be prepared analogously to known processes. The starting materials used are acetoacetate derivatives which are converted into the chloropyrimidines via the corresponding hydroxypyrimidines: ##STR18##
The starting compounds of formula VII can be obtained from malonate derivatives in analogy to known processes: ##STR19##
The amines of the formula VI which are required as starting materials can be prepared by known processes. ##STR20##
If appropriate, the compounds of the formula I in which R.sup.3 is hydrogen can be halogenated by known processes. ##STR21##

The invention also relates to insecticidal and acaricidal agents which contain the compounds of the formula I besides suitable formulation auxiliaries.
The agents according to the invention generally contain the active substances of the formula I in amounts of 1 to 95% by weight.
They can be formulated in various ways, depending on the prevailing biological and/or chemicophysical parameters. Examples of possible formulations which are suitable are: wettable powders (WP), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), aqueous solutions (SC), emulsions, sprayable solutions, dispersions on an oil or water basis (SC), suspoemulsions (SC), dusts (DP), seed-dressing agents, granules in the form of microgranules, spray granules, coated granules and adsorption granules, water-dispersible granules (WG), ULV formulations, microcapsules, waxes or baits.
These individual formulation types are known in principle and are described, for example, in:
Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie" [Chemical Technology], Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag, Munich, 4th Edition 1986; van Falkenberg, "Pesticides Formulations" Marcel Dekker, N.Y., 2nd Ed. 1972-73; K. Martens, "Spray Drying Handbook", 3rd Ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd. London.
The necessary formulation auxiliaries such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents and other additives are also known and are described, for example, in: Watkins, "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Darland Books, Caldwell N.J.; H.v. Olphen, "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry"; 2nd Ed., J. Wiley & Sons, N.Y.; Marsden, "Solvents Guide", 2nd Ed., Interscience, N.Y. 1950; McCutcheon's "Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publ. Corp., Ridgewood N.J.; Sisley and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chem. Publ. Co. Inc., N.Y. 1964; Schonfeldt, "Grenzflachenaktive Athylenoxidaddukte" [Surface-active Ethylene Oxide Adducts], Wiss. Verlagsgesell., Stuttgart 1976; Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie" [Chemical Technology], Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag, Munich, 4th Ed. 1986.
Based on these formulations, it is also possible to prepare combinations with other pesticidally active substances, .fertilizers and/or growth regulators, for example in the form of a readymix or a tank mix. Wettable powders are preparations which are uniformly dispersible in water and which, besides the active substance, also contain wetting agents, for example, polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoryethylated fatty alcohols, alkylsulfonates or alkylphenolsulfonates, and dispersing agents, for example sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate and also sodium oleylmethyltaurinate, in addition to a diluent or inert substance. Emulsifiable concentrates can be prepared, for example, by dissolving the active substance in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene and also higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons, with the addition of one or more emulsifiers. Emulsifiers which can be used are, for example: calcium salts of alkylarylsulfonic acids, such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate or non-ionic emulsifiers, such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide/ethylene oxide condensation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sorbitol esters.
Dusts are obtained by grinding the active substance with finely divided solid substances, for example talc or natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite or pyrophillite, or diatomaceous earth. Granules can be produced either by spraying the active substance onto adsorptive, granulated inert material or by applying active substance concentrates onto the surface of carriers such as sand, kaolinites or of granulated inert material, by means of binders, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or alternatively mineral oils. Suitable active substances can also be granulated in the manner which is conventional for the production of fertilizer granules, if desired in a mixture with fertilizers.
The active substance concentration in wettable powders is, for example, about 10 to 90% by weight; the remainder to 100% by weight is composed of conventional formulation components. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the active substance concentration can be about 5 to 80% by weight. Formulations in the form of dusts usually contain 5 to 20% by weight of active substance, sprayable solutions about 2 to 20% by weight. In the case of granules, the active substance content depends partly on whether the active compound is liquid or solid and on which granulation auxiliaries, fillers etc. are used.
In addition, the active substance formulations mentioned comprise, if appropriate, the adhesives, wetting agents, dispersing agents, emulsifiers, penetrants, solvents, fillers or carriers which are conventional in each case.
For use, the concentrates which are present in commercially available form are diluted, if appropriate, in a conventional manner, for example using water in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and, in some cases, also in the cast of microgranules. Preparations in the form of dusts and granules and also sprayable solutions are usually not further diluted with other inert substances before use.
The application rate required varies with the external conditions, such as, inter alia, temperature and humidity. It can vary within wide limits, for example between 0.005 and 10.0 kg/ha or more of active ingredient; preferably, however, it is between 0.01 and 5 kg/ha.
The active substances according to the invention can exist, in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms prepared from these formulations, as mixtures with other active substances such as insecticides, attractants, sterilants, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances or herbicides.

The active substance content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations can be from 0.00000001 to 100 percent of active substance, preferably between 0.00001 and 1% by weight.
Application is effected in a customary manner adapted to suit the use forms.
The active substances according to the invention are also suitable for controlling endoparasites and ectoparasites in the field of veterinary medicine or in the field of animal keeping.
Here, the active substances according to the invention are administered in a known manner, such as oral administration in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, drinks, granules, by dermal administration, for example in the form of dipping, spraying, pouring-on and spotting-on and powdering, and by parenteral administration, for example in the form of an injection.
Accordingly, the novel compounds of the formula I according to the invention can also be employed particularly advantageously in livestock keeping (for example cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry such as chickens, geese etc). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the novel compounds, if appropriate in suitable formulations (cf. above) and if appropriate together with the drinking water or feed, are administered orally to the animals. Since they are excreted effectively with the feces, the development of insects in the feces of animals can be prevented very simply in this fashion. The dosage rates and formulations which are suitable in each case depend, in particular, on the species and the development stage of the livestock and also on the infection pressure, and they can be determined and chosen easily by the customary methods. For example, the novel compounds can be used in cattle in dosage rates of from 0.01 to 1 mg/kg of body weight.
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention are distinguished by an outstanding fungicidal action. Fungal pathogens which have already penetrated the plant tissue can be controlled successfully in a curative manner. This is particularly important and advantageous in the case of those fungal diseases where control with fungicides which are otherwise customary is no longer effective once infection has taken place. The spectrum of action of the claimed compounds embraces a large number of a wide range of economically important phytopathogenic fungi such as, for example, Pyricularia oryzae, Venturia inaequalis, Cercospora beticola, powdery mildew species, Fusarium species, Plasmopara viticola, various rusts and Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides.
Besides, the compounds according to the invention are also suitable for use in industrial fields, for example as wood preservatives, as preservatives in paints, in cooling lubricants for metalworking, or as preservatives in drilling and cutting oils.
The invention also relates to fungicidal agents which contain the compounds of the formula I besides suitable formulation auxiliaries. The agents according to the invention generally contain the active substances of the formula I in amounts of 1 to 95% by weight.
They can be formulated in a variety of ways, as predetermined by the biological and/or chemicophysical parameters. The following possibilities are therefore suitable for formulation: wettable powders (WP), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), aqueous dispersions on an oil or water base (SC), suspoemulsions (SC), dusts (DP), seed-dressing agents, granules in the form of water-dispersible granules (WG), ULV formulations, microcapsules, waxes or baits.
These individual formulation types are known in principle and are described, for example, in: Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie", [Chemical Technology], Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag, Munich, 4th Ed. 1986; van Falkenberg, "Pesticides Formulations", Marcel Dekker N.Y., 2nd Ed. 1972-73; K. Martens, "Spray Drying Handbook", 3rd Ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd. London.
The necessary formulation auxiliaries such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents and other additives are also known and are described, for example, in: Watkins, "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Darland Books, Caldwell N.J.; H.v.01phen, "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry", 2nd Ed., J. Wiley & Sons, N.Y.; Marsden, "Solvents Guide", 2nd Ed., Interscience, N.Y. 1950; McCutcheon's, "Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publ.

Verlagsgesell., Stuttgart 1976; Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie [Chemical Technology]", Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag, Munich, 4th Ed. 1986.
Based on these formulations, it is also possible to prepare combinations with other pesticidally active substances, fertilizers and/or growth regulators, for example in the form of a readymix or a tank mix. Wettable powders are preparations which are uniformly dispersible in water and which, besides the active substance, also contain wetting agents, for example, polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols, alkylsulfonates or alkylphenolsulfonates, and dispersing agents, for example sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate and also sodium oleylmethyltaurinate, in addition to a diluent or inert substance. Emulsifiable concentrates can be prepared, for example, by dissolving the active substance in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene and also higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons, with the addition of one or more emulsifiers. Emulsifiers which can be used are, for example: calcium salts of alkylarylsulfonic acids, such as calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate or non-ionic emulsifiers, such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide/ethylene oxide sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sorbitol esters.
Dusts are obtained by grinding the active substance with finely divided solid substances, for example talc or natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite or pyrophillite, or diatomaceous earth. Granules can be produced either by spraying the active substance onto adsorptive, granulated inert material or by applying active substance concentrates onto the surface of carriers such as sand, kaolinites or of granulated inert material, by means of binders, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or alternatively mineral oils. Suitable active substances can also be granulated in the manner which is conventional for the production of fertilizer granules, if desired in a mixture with fertilizers.
The active substance concentration in wettable powders is, for example, about 10 to 90% by weight; the remainder to 100% by weight is composed of conventional formulation components. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the active substance concentration can be about 5 to 80% by weight. Formulations in the form of dusts usually contain 5 to 20% by weight. In the case of granules, the active substance content depends partly on whether the active compound is liquid or solid and on which granulation auxiliaries, fillers etc. are used.
In addition, the active substance formulations mentioned contain, if appropriate, the adhesives, wetting agents, dispersing agents, emulsifiers, penetrants, solvents, fillers or carriers which are conventional in each case.
For use, the concentrates which are present in commercially available form are diluted, if appropriate, in a conventional manner, for example using water in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and, in some cases, also in the case of microgranules. Preparations in the form of dusts and granules and also sprayable solutions are usually not further diluted with other inert substances before use.
The application rate required varies with the external conditions, such as, inter alia, temperature and humidity. It can vary within wide limits, for example between 0.005 and 10.0 kg/ha or more of active ingredient; preferably, however, it is between 0.01 and 5 kg/ha.
The active substances according to the invention can be used in their commercially available formulations either on their own or in combination with other fungicides known from the literature.

Example 1
Wheat plants in the 3-leaf stage were heavily inoculated with conidia of powdery mildew of wheat (Erysiphe graminis) and placed in a greenhouse at 20.degree. C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of 90-95%. 3 days after inoculation, the plants were uniformly wetted with the compounds shown in Tables A-C at the indicated active substance concentrations. After an incubation time of 10 days, the plants were investigated for attack with powdery mildew of wheat. The degree of attack is expressed in % of attacked leaf surface, relative to untreated, infected control plants (=100% attack). The result is summarized in Table 1.

Example 2
Wheat of the type "Jubilar" was treated in the 2-leaf stage with aqueous suspensions of the claimed compound until dripping wet.
After the spray coating had dried on, the plants were inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Puccinia recondita. The plants were placed for about 16 hours while dripping wet in a climatic chamber at 20.degree. C. and about 100% relative atmospheric humidity. The infected plants were then grown further in a greenhouse at a temperature of 22.degree.-25.degree. C. and 50-70% relative atmospheric humidity.
After an incubation time of about 2 weeks, the fungus sporulated on the entire leaf surface of the untreated control plants, such that an assessment of attack of the experimental plants could be carried out. The degree of attack is indicated in % of attacked leaf surface in comparison to the untreated, infected control plants and is reproduced in Table 2.

Example 3
Apple stocks (BM, IX) were uniformly wetted in the 4-leaf stage with the claimed compounds in the application concentrations mentioned in Tab. 3. After the active substance coating had dried on, the plants were heavily infected with conidia of apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and placed dripping wet in a climatic chamber whose temperature was 22.degree. C. and whose relative atmospheric humidity was 100%. After an infection time of 48 hours, the plants were transferred to a greenhouse at 18.degree. C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of 95-100%. After an incubation time of 14 days, the plants were examined for attack with apple scab (Venturia inaequalis). Assessment of the attack was carried out in the usual manner according to Augenschein. The degree of attack of the plants with apple scab is expressed in % of attacked leaf surface, relative to untreated, infected plants, and is reproduced in Table 3.

Example 5
Bean plants (Phaseolus v.) heavily infested with bean spider mites (Tetranychus urticae, complete population) were sprayed with the aqueous dilution of a wettable powder concentrate which contained 1000 ppm of the respective active substance.
The mortality of the mites was checked after 7 days. 100% mortality was achieved with the compounds according to Examples 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 21, 26, 27, 30, 32, 34, 39, 42, 53, 56, 58, 60, 61, 62 and 63.
Example 6
Field beans (Vicia faba) heavily infested with the black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) were sprayed with aqueous dilutions of wettable powder concentrates of 1000 ppm active substance content up to the start of the dripping-off stage. The mortality of the aphids was determined after 3 days. A 100% mortality could be achieved with the compounds according to Examples 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 21, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 35, 38, 39, 41, 42, 53, 56, 58, 61, 62 and 63.
Example 7
To the inside of the lid and the bottom of a petri dish, 1 ml in each case of the formulation to be tested was applied uniformly emulsified in water and, after the coating had dried on, 10 imagines of the housefly (Musca domestica) were introduced in each case. After closing the dish, these are kept at room temperature and the mortality of the experimental animals is determined after 3 hours. At 250 ppm (relative to the content of active substance), the preparations 6, 10, 21, 31, 35, 42, 56, 58, 61, 62 and 63 show a good action (100% mortality) against the housefly.
