Description

DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to novel thiazolinotriazine derivatives, to a process for the preparation thereof, and to their use as fungicides for agriculture and horticulture.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

Many agricultural fungicides used for plant diseases have been developed, however, only a few of them are effective with no phytotoxicity against control of such diseases as phytophthora diseases and downy mildew of fruit trees and vegetables. And, "chlorothalonil" (common name) is recognized as one of typical commercial products meeting the requirements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Thiazolinotriazine derivatives having the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen atom, halogen group atom or methyl radical,

R.sub.2 denotes cyclohexyl radical, phenyl radical or phenyl radical susstituted with methyl radical or nitro radical, and X denotes oxygen atom or sulfur atom, are novel compounds.

The compounds of formula [I] are useful as agricultural and horticultural fungicides.

The compounds of formula [I] can be prepared by reacting compounds having the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are defined previously, are reacted with a carbonic acid derivative in the presence of an acid-binding agent.

BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Among the compounds of formula [I], superior fungicidal effectiveness is generally obtained for compounds having cyclohexyl radical as R.sub.2. Furthermore, though the compounds of formula [I] include optical isomers, cis-form isomers usually exhibit the strongest fungicidal activity.

The compounds of formula [I] are especially useful for the control of phytophthora diseases and downy mildew of vegetable and fruit trees, and no phytotoxicity is observed when applied.

The preparation reactions are carried out in an inert organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, benzene and chloroform. The compound of formula [II] and an acid-binding agent such bases as dimethylaniline and triethylamine are dissolved in the organic solvent. A carbonic acid derivative such as potassium carbonate, phosgene, trichloromethylchloroformate, chloroformate esters and carbodiimidazole is added to the solution, and the reaction is usually continued for 1 hour to several hours at temperatures from 0.degree. C. to boiling point of the organic solvent. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is washed with water and the solvent is removed to obtain the product.

The compound of formula [II] may be prepared, for example, in accordance with following reactions, ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined previously.

Followings are non-limiting examples of preparing compounds of this invention.
