Triazolopyrimidines

Abstract

Novel triazolopyrimidines of the formula 1

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to novel triazolopyrimidines, to a plurality of processes for their preparation and to their use for controlling unwanted microorganisms.

[0002] It is already known that certain triazolopyrimidines have fungicidal properties (cf. EP-A 0 550 113, WO 94-20 501, EP-A 0 613 900, U.S. Pat. No. 5,612,345, EP-A 0 834 513, WO 98-46 607 and WO 98-46 608). The activity of these substances is good; however, at low application rates, it is sometimes unsatisfactory.

[0003] This invention, accordingly, provides novel triazolopyrimidines of the formula 2

[0004] in which

[0005] R1 represents hydroxyl, amino, alkylcarbonylamino, N-alkyl-N-alkoxycarbonylamino, alkoxycarbonylamino, represents optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted alkenyloxy, optionally substituted alkinyloxy, optionally substituted cycloalkyloxy, optionally substituted alkylamino, optionally substituted dialkylamino, optionally substituted alkenylamino, optionally substituted alkinylamino, optionally substituted cycloalkylamino, optionally substituted N-cycloalkyl-N-alkylamino, optionally substituted alkylideneamino, optionally substituted heterocyclyloxy or a radical of the formula —S—R4, in which

[0006] R4 represents optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkinyl or optionally substituted cycloalkyl,

[0007] R2 represents hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkinyl, or optionally substituted cycloalkyl,

[0008] R3 represents optionally substituted aryl, and

[0009] X represents halogen,

[0010] and also acid addition salts of those compounds of the formula (I) in which

[0011] R1 represents amino.

[0012] Depending on substitution pattern the compounds of the invention may be present where appropriate as mixtures of different possible isomeric forms, particularly of stereoisomers such as, for example, E and Z isomers, threo and erythro isomers, and also optical isomers, or even, where appropriate, of tautomers. Where R3 is substituted differently on both atoms adjacent to the bond site, the compounds in question may be present in a particular form of stereoisomerism, namely as atropisomers.

[0013] Furthermore, it has been found that triazolopyrimidines of the formula (I) can be prepared by

[0014] a) reacting dihalogeno-triazolopyrimidines of the formula 3

[0015] in which

[0016] R3 and X have the meanings given above and

[0017] Y1 represents halogen

[0018] with amines of the formula 4

[0019] in which

[0020] R1 and R2 have the meanings given above,

[0021] if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor,

[0022] or

[0023] b) reacting triazolopyrimidines of the formula 5

[0024] in which

[0025] R2, R3 and X have the meanings given above

[0026] with sulphenyl halides of the-formula

Y2-S—R4   (V)

[0027] in which

[0028] R4 has the meanings given above and

[0029] Y2 represents halogen,

[0030] if appropriate in the presence of a diluent and if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor,

[0031] and optionally adding an acid onto the resulting compounds of the formula (I) in which

[0032] R1 represents amino.

[0033] Finally, it has been found that the novel triazolopyrimidines of the formula (I) and their acid addition salts are highly suitable for controlling unwanted microorganisms. In particular, they have strong fungicidal activity and can be used both in crop protection and in the protection of materials.

[0034] Surprisingly, the triazolopyrimidines of the formula (I) according to the invention have considerably better microbicidal activity than the constitutionally most similar prior-art substances of the same direction of action.

[0227] The active compounds according to the invention also have very good fortifying action in plants. Accordingly, they can be used for mobilizing the defences of the plant against attack by undesirable microorganisms.

[0228] In the present context, plant-fortifying (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning those substances which are capable of stimulating the defence system of plants such that, when the treated plants are subsequently inoculated with undesirable microorganisms, they show substantial resistance against these microorganisms.

[0229] In the present case, undesirable microorganisms are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Accordingly, the substances according to the invention can be used to protect plants for a certain period after the treatment against attack by the pathogens mentioned. The period for which protection is provided generally extends over 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.

[0230] The fact that the active compounds are well tolerated by plants at the concentrations required for controlling plant diseases permits the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of propagation stock and seeds, and of the soil.

[0231] The active compounds according to the invention are also suitable for increasing the yield of crops. In addition, they show reduced toxicity and are well tolerated by plants.

[0232] At certain concentrations and application rates, the active compounds according to the invention can also be used as herbicides, for influencing plant growth and for controlling animal pests. They can also be used as intermediates and precursors for the synthesis of further active compounds.

[0233] The active compounds according to the invention can be used to treat all plants and parts of plants. By plants are understood here all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or cannot be protected by varietal property rights. Parts of plants are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit-bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. Parts of plants also include harvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds.

[0234] The treatment of the plants and the parts of plants with the active compounds according to the invention is carried out directly or by action on their surroundings, habitat or storage space, according to customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating, atomizing, broadcasting, spreading-on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, furthermore by one- or multi-layer coating.

[0235] In the protection of materials, the compounds according to the invention can be employed for protecting industrial materials against infection with, and destruction by, undesired microorganisms.

[0236] Industrial materials in the present context are understood as meaning non-living materials which have been prepared for use in industry. For example, industrial materials which are intended to be protected by active compounds according to the invention from microbial change or destruction can be adhesives, sizes, paper and board, textiles, leather, wood, paints and plastic articles, cooling lubricants and other materials which can be infected with, or destroyed by, microorganisms. Parts of production plants, for example cooling-water circuits, which may be impaired by the proliferation of microorganisms may also be mentioned within the scope of the materials to be protected. Industrial materials which may be mentioned within the scope of the present invention are preferably adhesives, sizes, paper and board, leather, wood, paints, cooling lubricants and heat-transfer liquids particularly preferably wood.

[0237] Microorganisms capable of degrading or changing the industrial materials which may be mentioned are, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. The active compounds according to the invention preferably act against fungi, in particular moulds, wood-discolouring and wood-destroying fungi (Basidiomycetes), and against slime organisms and algae.

[0252] Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols and microencapsulations in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seeds, and ULV cool and warm fogging formulations.

[0253] These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers. If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulphoxide, or else water. Liquefied gaseous. extenders or carriers are to be understood as meaning liquids which are gaseous at standard temperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants such as halogenated hydrocarbons, or else butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Suitable solid carriers are: for example ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates. Suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Suitable emulsifiers and/or foam formers are: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, or else protein hydrolysates. Suitable dispersants are: for example lignosulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

[0254] Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.

[0255] It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

[0256] The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

[0257] The active compounds according to the invention can be used as such or in their formulations, also in a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides, to broaden, for example, the activity spectrum or to prevent development of resistance. In many cases, synergistic effects are obtained, i.e. the activity of the mixture is greater than the activity of the individual components.

[0391] A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth regulators, is also possible.

[0392] In addition, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention also have very good antimycotic activity. They have a very broad antimycotic activity spectrum in particular against dermatophytes and yeasts, moulds and diphasic fungi, (for example against Candida species, such as Candida albicans, Candida glabrata), and Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus species, such as Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton species, such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporon species such as Microsporon canis and audouinii. The list of these fungi by no means limits the mycotic spectrum covered, but is only for illustration.

[0393] The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts and granules. Application is carried out in a customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, spreading, etc. It is furthermore possible to apply the active compounds by the ultra-low volume method, or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. It is also possible to treat the seeds of the plants.

[0394] When using the active compounds according to the invention as fungicides, the application rates can be varied within a relatively wide range, depending on the kind of application.

[0395] For the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound application rates are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 10 and 1000 g/ha. For seed dressing, the active compound application rates are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seed. For the treatment of the soil, the active compound application rates are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 1 and 5000 g/ha.

[0396] As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts with active compounds according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetical engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The term “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” has been explained above.

[0397] Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are to be understood as meaning plants having new properties (“traits”) and which have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivars, varieties, bio- or genotypes.

[0398] Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions which can be be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.

[0399] The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetical engineering) which are preferably treated according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particularly advantageous useful properties (“traits”) to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasised examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasised are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as “Bt plants”). Traits that are also particularly emphasised are the increased defence of the plants to fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasised are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the “PAT” gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of “Bt plants” which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucoton® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylurea, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which plants will be developed and/or marketed in the future.

[0400] The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the compounds of the general formula (I) or the active-compound mixtures according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for the active compounds or mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the compounds or mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.

[0401] The invention is illustrated by the examples below.

PREPARATION EXAMPLES

Example 1

[0402] 20

[0403] Process (a)

[0404] 0.234 g of triethylamine is added to a solution of 0.638 g (2 mmol) of 5,7-dichloro-6-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and 0.12 g (2 mmol) of N,N-dimethylhydrazine in 10 ml of dichloromethane. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 36 hours, then 200 ml of water and 4 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid are added with further stirring. The organic phase is separated off, washed twice with 50 ml of water in each case, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is triturated with hot diisopropyl ether and filtered off with suction. This gives 238 mg (31% of theory) of 5-chloro-7-(2,2-dimethylhydrazino)-6-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)[1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with a melting point of 165-168° C.

Example 2

[0405] 21

[0406] Process (a)

[0407] 80 mg (0.264 mmol) of 5,7-dichloro-6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 33 mg (0.264 mmol) of O-t-butylhydroxylamine hydrochloride and 80 μl of triethylamine are dissolved in 3 ml of dichloromethane and then stirred at 40° C. for one day and at room temperature for one day. The reaction mixture is diluted with 20 ml of dichloromethane, 10 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid are added and the mixture is stirred. The organic phase is separated off, washed with 10 ml of water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is stirred with petroleum ether and filtered off with suction. This gives 60 mg (64% of theory) of 7-(tert-butoxyamino)-5-chloro-6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)[1,2,4)triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine.

[0408] HPLC: logP=2.59

Example 3

[0409] 22

[0410] Process (b)

[0411] Under argon, first 0.061 g of a 60% strength sodium hydride suspension and then 0.5 g (1.26 mmol) of 5-chloro-N-[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethyl]-6-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-amine are added to 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. A solution of 0.236 g (1.26 mmol) of dichlorofluoromethanesulphenyl chloride in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise to this mixture, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 36 hours. The reaction mixture is then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed over silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (9:1). This gives 0.41 g (59% of theory) of 96.5% pure 5-chloro-7-{{[dichloro(fluoro)methyl]sulphanyl}[(1S)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethyl]amino}-6-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine.

Example 174

[0415] Process (c), first stage: 25

[0416] 1 000 mg of ethyl N-methoxycarbamate are introduced into 10.0 ml of dimethylformamide and, in portions, 403 mg of sodium hydride are added, the temperature being adjusted to 30° C. by cooling. The reaction mixture is stirred at 30° C. for 2 hours and then 3 500 mg of 2-bromoethyl methyl ether are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at 20° C. to 25° C. for 18 hours and then stirred into 20 ml of water. The reaction mixture obtained is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and extracted with four times 30 ml of dichloromethane. The organic extracts are dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure.

[0417] This gives 1 200 mg of ethyl (N-methoxy-N-methoxyethyl)carbamate (purity 77.6%, yield 62.6%).

[0418] Process (c), second stage: 26

[0419] 200 mg of ethyl (N-methoxy-N-methoxyethyl)carbamate are introduced into 4.0 ml of aqueous ethanol (59%), 240.6 mg of potassium hydroxide are added and the mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is then stirred into 50 ml of water and extracted with three times 20 ml of diethyl ether and with three times 20 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are washed twice with 20 ml portions of water, dried and concentrated to a volume of 20 ml under reduced pressure at 20° C.

[0420] With ice cooling, 2 ml of hydrochloric acid are added to the resulting solution, which is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 20° C.

[0421] The product obtained is digested with three times 15 ml of methanol and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 20° C.

[0422] This gives 140 mg of N-methoxy-N-methoxyethylamine hydrochloride (yield 87.6%).

Example 175

[0423] Process (d), first stage: 27

[0424] A mixture of 1 000 mg of ethyl N-hydroxy-N-methyl-carbamate, 1 166 mg of 2-bromoethyl methyl ether and 10 ml of ethanol is heated to reflux temperature with stirring and then a solution of 493 mg of potassium hydroxide in 5 ml of ethanol is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is boiled under reflux for 10 hours and then worked up by filtering the reaction mixture and concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure. The residue which remains is admixed with a mixture of water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase is separated off and washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and then with water. The organic phase is subsequently dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 0.7 g of a product which according to the gas chromatogram consists of 83% ethyl (N-methyl-N-methoxyethoxy)-carbamate. The yield is calculated accordingly to be 39% of theory.

[0425] Process (d), second stage: 28

[0426] A mixture of 200 mg of ethyl (N-methyl-N-methoxyethoxy)-carbamate, 4 ml of ethanol and 4 ml of water is admixed with 240.6 mg of powdered potassium hydroxide and stirred at 40° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is subsequently stirred into 50 ml of water then extracted with three times 20 ml of diethyl ether and subsequently with three times 20 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases are washed twice with 20 ml portions of water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated to a volume of 20 ml under reduced pressure at room temperature. With ice cooling, 1 ml of ethereal hydrochloric acid is added to the solution obtained. The crystals which deposit are filtered off and dried. This gives 190 mg of N-methyl-N-methoxyethoxyamine hydrochloride.

Example 176

[0427] Process (e), first stage: 29

[0428] 475 mg of sodium hydride are added with stirring at room temperature to a mixture of 2 000 mg of ethyl N-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethyl)-carbamate and 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran. A solution of 4 600 mg of iodomethane in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran is then added dropwise with stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 16 hours and then water is added. It is extracted with three times 20 ml of methylene chloride and the combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 1 000 mg of a product which according to the current gas chromatogram consists of 75% ethyl N-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethyl)-N-methyl-carbamate. The yield is calculated accordingly to be 34.86%.

[0429] Process (e), second stage: 30

[0430] A mixture of 1 000 mg of ethyl N-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethyl)-N-methyl-carbamate, 20 ml of ethanol and 20 ml of water is admixed with 1 070 mg of powdered potassium hydroxide and stirred at 40° C. for 66 hours. The reaction mixture is then diluted with water and extracted with three times 20 ml of a mixture consisting of equal parts of methylene chloride and diethyl ether. The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulphate and then concentrated under slightly reduced pressure at room temperature. With ice cooling, ethereal hydrochloric acid is added to the solution obtained, which is stirred at room temperature for 60 hours. Concentration under reduced pressure gives 280 mg of N-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethyl)-N-methylamine hydrochloride. The yield is calculated accordingly to be 34% of theory.

Example 177

[0431] Process (f): 31

[0432] 600 mg of benzyl N-(1-trifluoromethyl-2-propene)-carbamate are heated under reflux in 8.0 ml of 16% strength hydrochloric acid for 1.5 hours. After the mixture has been cooled to 20° C. it is extracted with twice 20 ml of diethyl ether.

[0433] The aqueous phase which remains is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and admixed with three times 10 ml of methanol. Following removal of the methanol under reduced pressure, 310 mg of (1-trifluoromethyl-prop-2-ene)-amine hydrochloride are isolated. The yield is calculated accordingly to be 82.9% of theory.
