Description:
DIEIOCARBAZONIC ACID DERIVATIVES AS PESTICIDES This invention relates to compounds having pesticidal, especially fungicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal, activity.

The invention provides a compound of general formula I wherein X is O or NH; Y is CH or N; W is methyl or methoxy; R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl; R3 has the same meaning as R2 or can be hydrogen; or R2 and R3 together with the carbon to which they are attached form a 5- to 7- membered heterocyciyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group which is optionally substituted; R7 is alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, halogen, cyano, alkoxy, alkylthio, haloalkoxy, and optionally substituted phenyl; and q is 0 to 4, preferably 0.

Any alkyl group may be straight or branched and is preferably of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, especially 1 to 7 and particularly 1 to 5. Alkenyl and alkynyl groups are generally of 3 to 6 carbon atoms. Cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl groups are preferably of 3 to 8 carbon atoms.

Substituents, when present on any alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl or alkynyl moiety include trialkylsilyl, halogen, cyano, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted alkylthio, optionally substituted haloalkyl, hydroxy, nitro, optionally substituted amino, acyl, acyloxy, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted phenoxy, optionally substituted phenylthio, optionally substituted hetercyciyloxy, or optionally substituted heterocyclylthio.

Any cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl groups may also be substituted by alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, all of which may be substituted as described above.

The term heterocyclyl includes both aromatic and non-aromatic heterocyclyl groups.

Heterocyclyl groups are generally 5, 6 or 7-membered rings containing up to 4 hetero atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Examples of heterocyclyl groups are furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, pyrrolinyl, pyrrolidinyl, imidazolyl, dioxolanyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazolyl, pyrazolinyl, pyrazolidinyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, triazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyranyl, pyridyl, piperidinyl, dioxanyl, morpholino, dithianyl, thiomorpholino, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, piperazinyl, triazinyl, thiazolinyl, benzimidazolyl, tetrazolyl, benzoxazolyl, imidazopyridinyl, benzoxazinyl, benzothiazinyl, oxazolopyridinyl, benzofuranyl, quinolinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, sulfolanyl, dihydroquinazolinyl, benzothiazolyl, phthalimido, benzofuranyl, azepinyl, oxazepinyl, thiazepinyl, diazepinyl and benzodiazepinyl.

Heterocyclyl groups may themselves be substituted.

Substituents when present on any phenyl or heterocyclyl group may for example be halogen, trialkylsilyl, CN, NO2, acyl, O-acyl, SF5 or a group E1, OE1, -S(O)nE or -(E1)=NOE2, where n is O, 1 or 2, E1 and E2, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted acyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl. E1 can also be optionally substituted amino. Alternatively two adjacent groups on the phenyl or heterocyclyl group together with the atoms to which they are attached form a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, which may be similarly substituted.

Any amino group may be substituted for example by one or two optionally substituted alkyl or acyl groups, or two substituents can form a ring, preferably a 5 to 7- membered ring, which may be substituted and may contain other hetero atoms, for example morpholine, or piperidine.

The term acyl includes the residue of sulfur and phosphorus-containing acids as well as carboxylic acids. Examples of acyl groups are thus -C(=O)R4, -C(=o)oR4, <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> -C(=Z)NR4R5, -C(=O)N(R4)0R5, -C(=O)ONR4R5, -C(=O)N(R4)NR5R6, -C(=o)SR4, -C(=S)SR4, -S(o)pR4, -S(0)20R4, S(O)pR4R5, -P(=Z)(OR4)(0R5), -C(=O)-C(=O)ORS, where R4, R5 and R6 which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl or R5 and R6 together with the atom(s) to which they are attached can form a ring; p is 1 or 2; and Z isQorS.

In cases where the compounds of the invention exist as the E and Z isomers, the invention includes individual isomers as well as mixtures thereof. In addition, each crossed bond depicted in general formula I represents a double bond having either Z or E stereochemistry.

We have found that compounds where the double bond attached to Y is of E geometry generally provide the highest activity for combating fungi. in addition, we have found that R1 is preferably optionally substituted alkyl, especially methyl.

Further we have found that R3 is preferably hydrogen.

R2 is preferably optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl.

When R2 is an optionally substituted alkyl group, preferred groups are optionally substituted branched alkyl, particularly optionally substituted tertiary butyl. When substituted, the substituents are preferably halogen, alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl, which when substituted is substituted by alkyl.

When R2 is an optionally substituted phenyl group or an optionally substituted phenylalkyl group, preferred substituents are alkyl, haloalkyl, halogen, cyano, nitro, haloalkoxy, alkoxy, aryloxy or acyl. Particularly preferred substituents are electron withdrawing groups, especially halogen.

When R2 is an optionally substituted heterocyclyl group, preferred groups are deactivating aromatic heterocyclyl groups, especially pyridine or pyrimidine. When the heterocyclyl group is substituted, preferred substituents are alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, halogen or aryloxy.

Although good activity has been found for all combinations of X, Y and W, we have found particularly good activity when X is NH, Y is N and W is methoxy.

The compounds of the invention have activity as fungicides, especially against fungal diseases of plants, e.g. mildews and particularly barley powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis) and vine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola), rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae), cereal eyespot (Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides), rice sheath blight (Pellicularia sasakill, grey mould (Botrytis cinerea), damping off (Rhizoctonia solaml, wheat brown rust (Puccinia recondita), late tomato or potato blight (Phytophthora infestans), apple scab (Venturia inaequalis), glume blotch (Leptosphaeria nodorum). Other fungi against which the compounds may be active include other powdery mildews, other rusts, and general pathogens of Deuteromycete, Ascomycete, Phycomycete and Basidomycete origin.

The compounds of the invention also have insecticidal, acaricidai and nematicidal activity and are particularly useful in combating a variety of economically important insects, acarids and plant nematodes, including animal ectoparasites and especially Diptera, such as sheep blow-fiy, Lucilia sericata, and house-flies, Musca domestica; Lepidoptera, including Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera littoralis,

Heliothis armigera and Pieris brassicae; Homoptera, including aphids such as Megoura viciae; Coleoptera, including corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp., e.g.

Diabrntica undecimpunctata); and spider mites, such as Tetranychus spp..

The invention thus also provides a method of combating pests (i.e. fungi, insects, nematodes, acarids and weeds) at a locus infested or liable to be infested therewith, which comprises applying to the locus a compound of formula I.

The invention also provides an agricultural composition comprising a compound of formula I in admixture with an agriculturally acceptable diluent or carrier.

The composition of the invention may of course include more than one compound of the invention.

In addition the composition can comprise one or more additional active ingredients, for example compounds known to possess plant-growth regulant, herbicidal, fungicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal properties. Alternatively the compound of the invention can be used in sequence with the other active ingredient.

The diluent or carrier in the composition of the invention can be a solid or a liquid optionally in association with a surface-active agent, for example a dispersing agent, emulsifying agent or wetting agent. Suitabie surface-active agents include anionic compounds such as a carboxylate, for example a metal carboxylate of a long chain fatty acid; an N-acylsarcosinate; mono- or di-esters of phosphoric acid with fatty alcohol ethoxylates or salts of such esters; fatty alcohol sulfates such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium octadecyl sulfate or sodium cetyl sulfate; ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulfates; ethoxylated alkylphenol sulfates; lignin sulfonates; petroleum sulfonates; alkyl-aryl sulfonates such as alkyl-benzene sulfonates or lower alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, e.g. butyl-naphthalene sulfonate; salts of sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates; salts of sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensates; or more complex sulfonates such as the amide sulfonates, e.g. the sulfonated condensation product of oleic acid and N-methyl taurine or the dialkyl sulfosuccinates, e.g. the sodium sulfonate of dioctyl succinate. Nonionic agents include condensation products of fatty acid esters,

fatty alcohols, fatty acid amides or fatty-alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted phenols with ethylene oxide, fatty esters of polyhydric alcohol ethers, e.g. sorbitan fatty acid esters, condensation products of such esters with ethylene oxide, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, biock copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, acetylenic glycols such as 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol, or ethoxylated acetylenic glycols.

Examples of a cationic surface-active agent include, for instance, an aliphatic mono-, di-, or polyamine as an acetate, naphthenate or oleate; an oxygen-containing amine such as an amine oxide or polyoxyethylene alkylamine; an amide-linked amine prepared by the condensation of a carboxylic acid with a di- or polyamine; or a quaternary ammonium salt.

The compositions of the invention can take any form known in the art for the formulation of agrochemicals, for example, a solution, a dispersion, an aqueous emulsion, a dusting powder, a seed dressing, a fumigant, a smoke, a dispersible powder, an emulsifiable concentrate or granules. Moreover it can be in a suitable form for direct application or as a concentrate or primary composition which requires dilution with a suitable quantity of water or other diluent before application.

An emulsifiable concentrate comprises a compound of the invention dissolved in a water-immiscible solvent which is formed into an emulsion with water in the presence of an emulsifying agent.

A dusting powder comprises a compound of the invention intimately mixed and ground with a solid pulverulent diluent, for example, kaolin.

A granular solid comprises a compound of the invention associated with similar diluents to those which may be employed in dusting powders, but the mixture is granulated by known methods. Alternatively it comprises the active ingredient absorbed or adsorbed on a pre-granular diluent, for example, Fuller's earth, attapulgite or limestone grit.

Wettable powders, granules or grains usually comprise the active ingredient in admixture with a suitable surfactant and an inert powder diluent such as china clay.

Another suitable concentrate is a flowable suspension concentrate which is formed by grinding the compound with water or other liquid, a wetting agent and a suspending agent.

The concentration of the active ingredient in the composition of the present invention, as applied to plants is preferably within the range of 0.0001 to 1.0 per cent by weight, especially 0.0001 to 0.01 per cent by weight. In a primary composition, the amount of active ingredient can vary widely and can be, for example, from 5 to 95 per cent by weight of the composition.

In the method of the invention the compound is generally applied to seeds, plants or their habitat. Thus, the compound can be applied directly to the soil before, at or after drilling so that the presence of active compound in the soil can control the growth of fungi which may attack seeds. When the soil is treated directly the active compound can be applied in any manner which allows it to be intimately mixed with the soil such as by spraying, by broadcasting a solid form of granules, or by applying the active ingredient at the same time as drilling by inserting it in the same drill as the seeds. A suitable application rate is within the range of from 5 to 1000 g per hectare, more preferably from 10 to 500 g per hectare.

Alternatively the active compound can be applied directly to the plant by, for example, spraying or dusting either at the time when the fungus has begun to appear on the plant or before the appearance of fungus as a protective measure.

In both such cases the preferred mode of application is by foliar spraying. It is generally important to obtain good control of fungi in the early stages of plant growth as this is the time when the plant can be most severely damaged. The spray or dust can conveniently contain a pre- or post-emergence herbicide if this is thought necessary. Sometimes, it is practicable to treat the roots of a plant before or during planting, for example, by dipping the roots in a suitable liquid or solid composition. When the active compound is applied directly to the plant a

suitable rate of application is from 0.025 to 5 kg per hectare, preferably from 0.05 to 1 kg per hectare.

In addition, the compounds of the invention can be applied to plants or parts thereof which have been genetically modified to exhibit a trait such as fungal and/or herbicidal resistance.

Compounds of the invention may be prepared, in known manner, in a variety of ways.

Compounds of general formula I can be prepared by reacting a benzyl bromide of general formula 11 with a dithiocarbazate of general formula Ill, in the presence of a suitable base eg sodium hydride, according to the following reaction scheme.

Scheme 1 3 H R3 (R7)q N 41\ 2 ;q Base BEl5e XX W\ O XMe SR1 W\ XMe SR 0 (Il) (III) Intermediates of formula Ill can be prepared in turn by reacting aldehydes and ketones V with compounds of formula IV. Preferred reaction conditions comprise heating a methanolic solution of IV and V in the presence of a small amount of glacial acetic acid.

Scheme 2 Alkyl dithiocarbazates of formula IV can be prepared by reacting a basic solution of hydrazine hydrate with carbon disulphide followed by addition of a compound of general formula R1Q where Q is a leaving group, eg halogen, alkyl or aryl sulfonate, alkyl sulfate etc. When R1 is methyl, Q is preferably methyl sulfate.

Preferred bases include metal hydroxides [M+(OH)-], such as potassium hydroxide. Alkyl dithiocarbazates IV can either be prepared in one step by addition of R1 Q to the crude reaction mixture or alternatively in two steps by firstly isolating the metallated dithiocarbazate VI as a crystalline solid. When the base is potassium hydroxide the crystalline solid is the mono-potassium salt of dithiocarbazate VI.
