        and its N-oxides and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof.


The invention also relates to agrochemical compositions comprising a solvent or solid carrier and at least a compound of formula I or an N-oxide or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, methods for combating phytopathogenic fungi, which process comprises treating the fungi or the materials, plants, the soil or seeds to be protected against fungal attack, with an effective amount of at least one compound of formula I of an N-oxide or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, seed comprising a compound of formula I, or an N-oxide or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, and processes and intermediates for preparing compounds of formula I.


WO 05/033081 describes pyridin-4-ylmethyl sulfonamides and their use for combating phytopathogenic fungi. The publication WO 06/097489 describes various pyridin-4-ylmethylamides of phenyl sulfonic acid and their use as fungicides.


The compounds according to the present invention differ from those described in WO 05/033081 and WO 06/097489 by having a triazinylmethyl attached to the nitrogen of the sulfonamide group.


However, with respect to their fungicidal activity, the action of the compounds known in prior art is not always completely satisfactory. Based on this, it was an object of the present invention to provide compounds having improved action and/or a broadened activity spectrum against harmful fungi.


This object is achieved by substituted triazinylmethyl sulfonamides of formula I and its N-oxides and their salts, in particular the agriculturally acceptable salts as defined herein.


The compounds I can be prepared by various routes in analogy to prior art processes known per se for preparing sulfonamides and, advantageously, by the synthesis shown in the following schemes and in the experimental part of this application.


A further aspect of the present invention relates to a process for preparing compounds I, which comprises reacting compounds II, wherein T is defined as above, under basic conditions with compounds III, wherein A, Y and D are defined as above and L is a leaving group such as halogen, substituted phenoxy, N3, heterocyclyl or heterocyclyloxy, preferably pentafluorphenoxy, heterocyclyl such as imazolyl, pyrazolyl or triazolyl, or halogen such as chloro, fluoro or bromo, as shown below:

Examples of suitable protection groups are those which are customarily used in organic synthesis, preferably t-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, allyloxy-carbonyl, diformyl or phthaloyl. Further details on suitable protection groups and their cleavage may be found in Greene T. W., Wits P. G. “Protective groups in organic synthesis” (Wiley & Sons, New York, 1999, 494 et sqq.). The hydrogenation of the nitriles IX.b can be advantageously performed in the presence of suitable catalysts, preferably Raney nickel or palladium-on-carbon, and protection reagents such as di-tert.-butyl dicarbonate, dibenzyl dicarbonate, benzyl chloroformate, to yield the N-protected compounds X. On treating with hydrogen chloride or with hydrogen bromide/glacial acetic acid or with trifluoroacetic acid/water mixtures, the compounds X can be deprotected to yield compounds II, wherein R3 is hydrogen.

Compounds III and its derivatives III.a and III.b are known in the art and can be prepared in analogy to methods described in the European patent application 08101694.1.


If individual compounds I cannot be obtained by the routes described above, they can be prepared by derivatization of other compounds I.


The N-oxides may be prepared from the compounds I according to conventional oxidation methods, for example by treating compounds I with an organic peracid such as metachloroperbenzoic acid (cf. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 38(11), 1892-903 (1995); or WO 03/64572); or with inorganic oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide (cf. J. Heterocyc. Chem. 18(7), 1305-8, 1981) or oxone (cf. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123(25), 5962-5973, 2001). The oxidation may lead to pure mono-N-oxides or to a mixture of different N-oxides, which can be separated by conventional methods such as chromatography.


If the synthesis yields mixtures of isomers, a separation is generally not necessarily required since in some cases the individual isomers can be interconverted during workup for use or during application (for example under the action of light, acids or bases). Such conversions may also take place after use, for example in the treatment of plants in the treated plant, or in the harmful fungus to be controlled.

Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-transtional modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e.g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated or farnesylated moieties or PEG moieties.


Plants that have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e.g. have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, such as sulfonyl ureas (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/26390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/02526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/14357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073) or imidazolinones (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/026390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/002526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/014357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073); enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) inhibitors, such as glyphosate (see e.g. WO 92/00377); glutamine synthetase (GS) inhibitors, such as glufosinate (see e.g. EP-A 242 236, EP-A 242 246) or oxynil herbicides (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,024) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis), e.g. Clearfield® summer rape (Canola, BASF SE, Germany) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate-tolerant, Monsanto, U.S.A.) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate-tolerant, Bayer CropScience, Germany).


Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus Bacillus, particularly from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as δ-endotoxins, e.g. CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIF, CryIF(a2), CryIIA(b), CryIIIA, CryIIIB(b1) or Cry9c; vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e.g. VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, e.g. Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhabdus spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin receptors); stilben synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood expressly also as pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, e.g. WO 02/015701). Further examples of such toxins or genetically modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are disclosed, e.g., in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/18810 and WO 03/52073. The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e.g. in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxonomic groups of athropods, especially to beetles (Coeloptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and moths (Lepidoptera) and to nematodes (Nematoda). Genetically modified plants capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins are, e.g., described in the publications mentioned above, and some of which are commercially available such as YieldGard® (corn cultivars producing the Cry1Ab toxin), YieldGard® Plus (corn cultivars producing Cry1Ab and Cry3Bb1 toxins), Starlink® (corn cultivars producing the Cry9c toxin), Herculex® RW (corn cultivars producing Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1 and the enzyme Phosphinothricin-N-Acetyltransferase [PAT]); NuCOTN® 33B (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1Ac toxin), Bollgard® I (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1Ac toxin), Bollgard® (cotton cultivars producing Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 toxins); VIPCOT® (cotton cultivars producing a VIP-toxin); NewLeaf® (potato cultivars producing the Cry3A toxin); BtXtra®, NatureGard®, KnockOut®, BiteGard®, Protecta®, Bt11 (e.g. Agrisure® CB) and Bt176 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France, (corn cultivars producing the Cry1Ab toxin and PAT enyzme), MIR604 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France (corn cultivars producing a modified version of the Cry3A toxin, c.f.

Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the resistance or tolerance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PR proteins, see, e.g. EP-A 392 225), plant disease resistance genes (e.g. potato cultivars, which express resistance genes acting against Phytophthora infestans derived from the mexican wild potato Solanum bulbocastanum) or T4-lysozym (e.g. potato cultivars capable of synthesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as Erwinia amylvora). The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e.g. in the publications mentioned above.


Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e.g. bio mass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), tolerance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environmental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants.


Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, e.g. oil crops that produce health-promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e.g. Nexera® rape, DOW Agro Sciences, Canada).


Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve raw material production, e.g. potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).

The invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagation material and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with an effective amount of compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively.


The term “plant health” is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other such as yield (e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), plant vigor (e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”)), quality (e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients) and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other.


The compounds of formula I can be present in different crystal modifications whose biological activity may differ. They are likewise subject matter of the present invention.


The compounds I are employed as such or in form of compositions by treating the fungi or the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active substances. The application can be carried out both before and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the fungi.


Plant propagation materials may be treated with compounds I as such or a composition comprising at least one compound I prophylactically either at or before planting or transplanting.


The invention also relates to agrochemical compositions comprising a solvent or solid carrier and at least one compound I and to the use for controlling harmful fungi.


An agrochemical composition comprises a fungicidally effective amount of a compound I. The term “effective amount” denotes an amount of the composition or of the compounds I, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi on cultivated plants or in the protection of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species to be controlled, the treated cultivated plant or material, the climatic conditions and the specific compound I used.


The compounds I, their N-oxides and salts can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, e.g. solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules. The composition type depends on the particular intended purpose; in each case, it should ensure a fine and uniform distribution of the compound according to the invention.


Examples for composition types are suspensions (SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW, EO, ES), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (WP, SP, SS, WS, DP, DS) or granules (GR, FG, GG, MG), which can be water-soluble or wettable, as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds (GF).


Usually the composition types (e.g. SC, OD, FS, EC, WG, SG, WP, SP, SS, WS, GF) are employed diluted. Composition types such as DP, DS, GR, FG, GG and MG are usually used undiluted.

The application forms depend entirely on the intended purposes; it is intended to ensure in each case the finest possible distribution of the active substances according to the invention.


Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (sprayable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and such concentrates are suitable for dilution with water.


The active substance concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.001 to 1% by weight of active substance.


The active substances may also be used successfully in the ultra-low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply compositions comprising over 95% by weight of active substance, or even to apply the active substance without additives.

In treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds, e.g. by dusting, coating or drenching seed, amounts of active substance of from 0.1 to 1000 g, preferably from 1 to 1000 g, more preferably from 1 to 100 g and most preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kilogram of plant propagation material (preferably seed) are generally required.


When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active substance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are, e.g., 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active substance per cubic meter of treated material.


Various types of oils, welters, adjuvants, herbicides, bactericides, other fungicides and/or pesticides may be added to the active substances or the compositions comprising them, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1.


Adjuvants which can be used are in particular organic modified polysiloxanes such as Break Thru S 240®; alcohol alkoxylates such as Atplus 245®, Atplus MBA 1303®, Plurafac LF 300® and Lutensol ON 30®; EO/PO block polymers, e.g. Pluronic RPE 2035° and Genapol B®; alcohol ethoxylates such as Lutensol XP 80®; and dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium such as Leophen RA®.


The compositions according to the invention can, in the use form as fungicides, also be present together with other active substances, e.g. with herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides or else with fertilizers, as pre-mix or, if appropriate, not until immediately prior to use (tank mix).

Furthermore, combating harmful fungi with a mixture of compounds I and at least one fungicide from groups A) to F), as described above, is more efficient than combating those fungi with individual compounds I or individual fungicides from groups A) to F). By applying compounds I together with at least one active substance from groups A) to I) a synergistic effect can be obtained, i.e. more then simple addition of the individual effects is obtained (synergistic mixtures).


According to this invention, applying the compounds I together with at least one further active substance is to be understood to denote, that at least one compound of formula I and at least one further active substance occur simultaneously at the site of action (i.e. the harmful fungi to be controlled or their habitats such as infected plants, plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, surfaces, materials or the soil as well as plants, plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack) in a fungicidally effective amount. This can be obtained by applying the compounds I and at least one further active substance simultaneously, either jointly (e.g. as tank-mix) or separately, or in succession, wherein the time interval between the individual applications is selected to ensure that the active substance applied first still occurs at the site of action in a sufficient amount at the time of application of the further active substance(s). The order of application is not essential for working of the present invention.


In binary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising one compound I (component 1) and one further active substance (component 2), e.g. one active substance from groups A) to I), the weight ratio of component 1 and component 2 generally depends from the properties of the active substances used, usually it is in the range of from 1:100 to 100:1, regularly in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1, preferably in the range of from 1:20 to 20:1, more preferably in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1 and in particular in the range of from 1:3 to 3:1.


In ternary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising one compound I (component 1) and a first further active substance (component 2) and a second further active substance (component 3), e.g. two active substances from groups A) to I), the weight ratio of component 1 and component 2 depends from the properties of the active substances used, preferably it is in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1, and the weight ratio of component 1 and component 3 preferably is in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1.


The components can be used individually or already partially or completely mixed with one another to prepare the composition according to the invention. It is also possible for them to be packaged and used further as combination composition such as a kit of parts.


In one embodiment of the invention, the kits may include one or more, including all, components that may be used to prepare a subject agrochemical composition. E.g., kits may include one or more fungicide component(s) and/or an adjuvant component and/or a insecticide component and/or a growth regulator component and/or a herbicide. One or more of the components may already be combined together or preformulated. In those embodiments where more than two components are provided in a kit, the components may already be combined together and as such are packaged in a single container such as a vial, bottle, can, pouch, bag or canister. In other embodiments, two or more components of a kit may be packaged separately, i.e., not preformulated. As such, kits may include one or more separate containers such as vials, cans, bottles, pouches, bags or canisters, each container containing a separate component for an agrochemical composition. In both forms, a component of the kit may be applied separately from or together with the further components or as a component of a combination composition according to the invention for preparing the composition according to the invention.


The user applies the composition according to the invention usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank or a spray plane. Here, the agrochemical composition is made up with water and/or buffer to the desired application concentration, it being possible, if appropriate, to add further auxiliaries, and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus obtained. Usually, 50 to 500 liters of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area, preferably 100 to 400 liters.


According to one embodiment, individual components of the composition according to the invention such as parts of a kit or parts of a binary or ternary mixture may be mixed by the user himself in a spray tank and further auxiliaries may be added, if appropriate (tank mix).


In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e.g. components comprising compounds I and/or active substances from the groups A) to I), may be mixed by the user in a spray tank and further auxiliaries and additives may be added, if appropriate (tank mix).


In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e.g. components comprising compounds I and/or active substances from the groups A) to I), can be applied jointly (e.g. after tankmix) or consecutively.


Preference is also given to mixtures comprising a compound I (component 1) and at least one active substance selected from the strobilurines of group A) (component 2) and particularly selected from azoxystrobin, dimoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, kresoximmethyl, orysastrobin, picoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin.

SYNTHESIS EXAMPLES

With due modification of the starting compounds, the procedures shown in the synthesis examples below were used to obtain further compounds I. The resulting compounds, together with physical data, are listed in Table I below.


I. Preparation of Compounds II
Example 1
Preparation of 4,6-Dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-methylamine
a) Preparation of 4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazine-2-trimethyl-ammonium chloride

Acetone (340 ml) and dry THF (140 ml) was added to 2-Chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazine (25.0 g) and the reaction mixture was cooled to about 0° C. While stirring trimethylamine (16.8 g) was added over a period of 4 h maintaining the temperature in the range of 0 to 5° C. While stirring was continued for an additional hour a white precipitate formed. The solid precipitate was filtered off under an inert atmosphere and the resulting title compound may be stored in benzene at about 4° C.


b) Preparation of 4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazine-2-carbonitrile

4,6-Dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazine-2-trimethyl-ammonium chloride (9.39 g, prepared under a)) was slowly added to KCN (5.21 g) in acetonitrile (100 ml) at about 0 to 5° C. After continued stirring for additional 2 hours at about 0 to 5° C., the mixture was allowed to warm up to about 20-25° C. and stirring was continued for 12 to 16 h. After removing the solvent in vacuo, DCM (100 ml) and water (50 ml) was added. After separation of the layers, the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried and the solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the title compound (39.87 g) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ=2.5 (2H, CH2), 4.10 (6H, OCH3).


c) Preparation of 4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-methylamine

A mixture of 4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazine-2-carbonitrile (1.00 g, prepared under b)) and triethylamine (8.38 ml) in MeOH (60.0 ml) was hydrogenated in the presence of 10% Pd/C (250 mg) under atmospheric pressure for about 3 h. The mixture was filtered over Celite and the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield the title compound (870 mg) as a colourless oil. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 500 MHz) δ=2.5 (2H, CH2), 3.90 (6H, OCH3).


II. Preparation of Compounds I
Example 2
Preparation of 4-(2,4-difluoro-phenoxy)-N-(4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl-methyl)-benzenesulfonamide (example I-7 in Table I)

4,6-Dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-methylamine (200 mg, prepared as Example 1) was added under an inert atmosphere to a mixture of 4-(2,4-difluoro-phenoxy)-benzene sulfonyl chloride (193.38 mg) and diisopropylethylamine (0.25 ml) in DCM (10 ml) kept at about 0° C. While stirring for about 12 to 16 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to 20-25° C. The organic phase was washed successively with saturated NH4Cl, saturated NaHCO3 and brine and dried. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the crude product was purified by chromatography (silica, 10% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane to 100% ethyl acetate) to yield the 179 mg of the title compound as a colourless oil. HPLC/MS [retention time [min] (mass)]: 3.333 min (439).


Example 3
Preparation of 4-phenoxy-N-(4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-ylmethyl)-benzenesulfonamide (example 1-46 in Table I)

To a solution of 4,6-dimethoxy-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-methylamine (500 mg, prepared as Example 1) in DCM (5 mL) was slowly added Hünig's base (1.9 g), followed by the addition of 4-phenoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (711 mg) in DCM (1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at about 20° C. overnight. The organic phase was successively washed with saturated NaHCO3, saturated NH4Cl and brine. It was finally dried over magnesium sulfate and chromatographed over silica gel to yield the title compound (583 mg).


The compounds of formula I.1 listed in table I have been prepared in an analogous manner.
