Description

This application is a 371 of PCT/EP96/01309, filed Mar. 25, 1996.
The invention relates to novel substituted cycloalkenes, to a plurality of processes for their preparation, and to novel intermediates and a plurality of processes for their preparation.
Certain substituted cycloalkenes are known to have fungicidal properties [cf. for example EP-A 421102].
However, in many cases the activity of these compounds is unsatisfactory.
This invention, accordingly, provides the novel substituted cycloalkenes of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which E represents methylidene or nitrogen,
G represents a single bond, represents oxygen, sulphur, or represents respectively optionally halogen-, hydroxyl-, alkyl-, halogenoalkyl- or cycloalkyl-substituted alkanediyl or alkynediyl or one of the groupings below --Q--CQ--, --CQ--Q--, --CH.sub.2 --Q--, --Q--CH.sub.2 --, --CQ--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 --Q--CQ--, --Q--CQ--CH.sub.2 --, --Q--CQ--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --N.dbd.N--, --S(O).sub.n --, --CH.sub.2 --S(O).sub.n --, --CQ--, --S(O).sub.n --CH.sub.2 --, --C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--, --C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--CH.sub.2 --, --N(R.sup.2)--, --CQ--N(R.sup.2)--, --N(R.sup.2)--CQ--, --Q--CQ--N(R.sup.2)--, --N.dbd.C(R.sup.1)--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --N(R.sup.2)--CQ--Q--, --CQ--N(R.sup.2)--CQ--Q--, --N(R.sup.2)--CQ--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --Q--C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--CH.sub.2 --, --N(R.sup.2)--C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--CH.sub.2 --, --O--CH.sub.2 --C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--CH.sub.2 --, --N.dbd.N--C(R.sup.1).dbd.N--O--CH.sub.2 --, --T--Ar.sup.1 or --T--Ar.sup.1 --Q--, where
Ar.sup.1 represents optionally substituted arylene, heteroarylene, cycloalkylene or heterocycloalkylene (i.e. an aliphatic ring which is doubly attached and in which one or more carbon atoms are replaced by hetero atoms, i.e. atoms other than carbon),
n represents the number 0, 1 or 2,
Q represents oxygen or sulphur,
R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, cyano or respectively optionally substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, dialkylamino or cycloalkyl, and

If the ring contains more than one hetero atom, these may be identical or different. Preferred hetero atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur. The compounds in the form of a ring may form a polycyclic ring system together with other carbocyclic or heterocyclic fused or bridged rings. Preference is given to mono- or bicyclic ring systems, in particular to mono- or bicyclic aromatic ring systems.
