FUNGICIDAL IMIDAZOLES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain imidazoles, their N-oxides, salts and compositions, and methods of their use as fungicides.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The control of plant diseases caused by fungal plant pathogens is extremely important in achieving high crop efficiency. Plant disease damage to ornamental, vegetable, field, cereal, and fruit crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in increased costs to the consumer. Many products are commercially available for these purposes, but the need continues for new compounds which are more effective, less costly, less toxic, environmentally safer or have different sites of action.
PCT Patent Publication WO 2009/137651 discloses imidazole derivatives and their use as fungicides.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to compounds of Formula 1 (including all stereoisomers), N-oxides, and salts thereof, agricultural compositions containing them and their use as fungicides:

DETAILS OF THE INVENTION
As used herein, the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," "has," "having," "contains", "containing," "characterized by" or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, subject to any limitation explicitly indicated. For example, a composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus.
The transitional phrase "consisting of excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified. If in the claim, such would close the claim to the inclusion of materials other than those recited except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith. When the phrase
"consisting of appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
The transitional phrase "consisting essentially of is used to define a composition, method or apparatus that includes materials, steps, features, components, or elements, in addition to those literally disclosed, provided that these additional materials, steps, features, components, or elements do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. The term "consisting essentially of occupies a middle ground between
"comprising" and "consisting of.
Where applicants have defined an invention or a portion thereof with an open-ended term such as "comprising," it should be readily understood that (unless otherwise stated) the description should be interpreted to also describe such an invention using the terms
"consisting essentially of or "consisting of."
Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
Also, the indefinite articles "a" and "an" preceding an element or component of the invention are intended to be nonrestrictive regarding the number of instances (i.e. occurrences) of the element or component. Therefore "a" or "an" should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular.
As referred to in the present disclosure and claims, "plant" includes members of
Kingdom Plantae, particularly seed plants (Spermatopsida), at all life stages, including young plants (e.g., germinating seeds developing into seedlings) and mature, reproductive stages (e.g., plants producing flowers and seeds). Portions of plants include geotropic members typically growing beneath the surface of the growing medium (e.g., soil), such as roots, tubers, bulbs and corms, and also members growing above the growing medium, such as foliage (including stems and leaves), flowers, fruits and seeds.
As referred to herein, the term "seedling", used either alone or in a combination of words means a young plant developing from the embryo of a seed. As referred to herein, the term "broadlea ' used either alone or in words such as "broadleaf crop" means dicot or dicotyledon, a term used to describe a group of angiosperms characterized by embryos having two cotyledons.
As used herein, the term "alkylating agent" refers to a chemical compound in which a carbon-containing radical is bound through a carbon atom to a leaving group such as halide or sulfonate, which is displaceable by bonding of a nucleophile to said carbon atom. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "alkylating agent" or "alkylating reagent" does not limit the carbon-containing radical to alkyl; the carbon-containing radicals in alkylating agents include the variety of carbon-bound substituent radicals specified, for example, for R 1 and R2.
Generally when a molecular fragment (i.e. radical) is denoted by a series of atom symbols (e.g., C, H, N, O, S) the implicit point or points of attachment will be easily recognized by those skilled in the art. In some instances herein, particularly when alternative points of attachment are possible, the point or points of attachment may be explicitly indicated by a hyphen ("-"). For example, "-SC≡N" indicates that the point of attachment is the sulfur atom (i.e. thiocyanato, not isothiocyanato).

The term "unsubstituted" in connection with a group such as a ring means the group does not have any substituents other than its one or more attachments to the remainder of Formula 1. The term "optionally substituted" means that the number of substituents can be zero. Unless otherwise indicated, optionally substituted groups may be substituted with as many optional substituents as can be accommodated by replacing a hydrogen atom with a non-hydrogen substituent on any available carbon or nitrogen atom. Commonly, the number of optional substituents (when present) range from 1 to 3. As used herein, the term "optionally substituted" is used interchangeably with the phrase "substituted or unsubstituted" or with the term "(un)substituted."
The number of optional substituents may be restricted by an expressed limitation. For example, the phrase "optionally substituted with up to 4 substituents independently selected from R 5a on carbon atom ring members" means that 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents can be present (if the number of potential connection points allows).
Unless otherwise indicated, a "ring" or "ring system" as a component of Formula 1 (e.g., Q 2 ) is carbocyclic (e.g., phenyl) or heterocyclic (e.g., pyridinyl). The term "ring member" refers to an atom (e.g., C, O, N or S) forming the backbone of a ring. The term "ring system" denotes two or more fused rings (e.g., quinazolinyl). The term "nonaromatic" includes rings that are fully saturated as well as partially or fully unsaturated, provided that none of the rings are aromatic. The term "aromatic" indicates that each of the ring atoms of a fully unsaturated ring are essentially in the same plane and have a /^-orbital perpendicular to the ring plane, and that (4n + 2) π electrons, where n is a positive integer, are associated with the ring to comply with Huckel's rule.
The terms "carbocyclic ring" or "carbocycle" denote a ring wherein the atoms forming the ring backbone are selected only from carbon. When a fully unsaturated carbocyclic ring satisfies Huckel's rule, then said ring is also called an "aromatic carbocyclic ring". The term "saturated carbocyclic ring" refers to a ring having a backbone consisting of carbon atoms linked to one another by single bonds; unless otherwise specified, the remaining carbon valences are occupied by hydrogen atoms.
The terms "heterocyclic ring", "heterocycle" or "heterocyclic ring system" denote a ring or ring system in which at least one atom forming the ring backbone is not carbon (e.g., N, O or S). Typically a heterocyclic ring contains no more than 3 N atoms, no more than 2 O atoms and no more than 2 S atoms. Unless otherwise indicated, a heterocyclic ring can be a saturated, partially unsaturated or fully unsaturated ring. When a fully unsaturated heterocyclic ring satisfies Huckel's rule, then said ring is also called a "heteroaromatic ring" or "aromatic heterocyclic ring". Unless otherwise indicated, heterocyclic rings can be attached through any available carbon or nitrogen by replacement of a hydrogen on said carbon or nitrogen.
In the context of the present invention when an instance of Q 1 and Q 2 comprises a phenyl or 6-membered heterocyclic ring (e.g., pyridinyl), the ortho, meta and para positions of each ring is relative to the connection of the ring to the remainder of Formula 1.
As noted above, Q 1 and Q 2 can be, inter alia, a phenyl ring substituted with 1 to 4 substituents independently selected from R 5a . When an instance of Q 1 or Q 2 comprises a phenyl ring substituted with 4 or less R 5a substituents, then hydrogen atoms are attached to take up any free valency.
Compounds of this invention can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric isomers. One skilled in the art will appreciate that one stereoisomer may be more active and/or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s) or when separated from the other stereoisomer(s). Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. The compounds of the invention may be present as a mixture of stereoisomers, individual stereoisomers or as an optically active form. Of note are atropisomers, which are stereoisomeric conformations of a molecule that occur when rotation about a single bond is restricted such that interconversion is slow enough to allow separation. Restricted rotation of one or more bonds is a result of steric interaction with other parts of the molecule. In the present invention, compounds of Formula 1 can exhibit atropisomerism when the energy barrier to free rotation around a single unsymmetrical bond is sufficiently high that separation of isomers is possible. Atropisomerism is defined to exist where the isomers have a half-life of at least 1000 seconds, which is a free energy barrier of at least about 22.3 kcal moH at about 20 °C (Oki, Topics in Stereochemistry, Vol. 14, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1983). One skilled in the art will appreciate that one atropisomer may be more active and/or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to other atropisomers or when separated from other atropisomers. Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said atropisomers. Further description of atropisomers can be found in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 101-102, 4 th Ed. 1992; Oki, Topics in Stereochemistry, Vol. 14, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1983 and Gawronski et al, Chirality 2002, 14, 689-702. This invention comprises enriched mixtures and essentially pure atropisomers of compounds of Formula 1.
Also of note are enantiomers of Formula 1. For example, two possible enantiomers of Formula 1 are depicted below as Formula 1' and Formula 1" wherein the chiral center is identified with an asterisk *) and the substituents R 3 and R 4 are not identical.
1' 1"
Molecular depictions drawn herein follow standard conventions for depicting stereochemistry. To indicate stereoconfiguration, bonds rising from the plane of the drawing and towards the viewer are denoted by solid wedges wherein the broad end of the wedge is attached to the atom rising from the plane of the drawing towards the viewer. Bonds going below the plane of the drawing and away from the viewer are denoted by dashed wedges wherein the narrow end of the wedge is attached to the atom further away from the viewer. Constant width lines indicate bonds with a direction opposite or neutral relative to bonds shown with solid or dashed wedges; constant width lines also depict bonds in molecules or parts of molecules in which no particular stereoconfiguration is intended to be specified.
This invention comprises racemic mixtures, for example, equal amounts of the enantiomers of Formulae 1' and 1". In addition, this invention includes compounds that are enriched compared to the racemic mixture in an enantiomer of Formula 1. Also included are the essentially pure enantiomers of compounds of Formula 1, for example, Formula 1' and Formula 1". When enantiomerically enriched, one enantiomer is present in greater amounts than the other, and the extent of enrichment can be defined by an expression of enantiomeric excess ("ee"), which is defined as (2χ-1)· 100 %, where x is the mole fraction of the dominant enantiomer in the mixture (e.g., an ee of 20 % corresponds to a 60:40 ratio of enantiomers).
Of note are compositions of this invention having at least a 50 %, or at least a 75 %, or at least a 90 %, or at least a 94 % enantiomeric excess of an isomer. Of particular note are enantiomerically pure embodiments.
Compounds of Formula 1 can comprise additional chiral centers. For example, substituents such as R 5a may themselves contain chiral centers.
One skilled in the art recognizes that because in the environment and under physiological conditions salts of chemical compounds are in equilibrium with their corresponding nonsalt forms, salts share the biological utility of the nonsalt forms. Thus a wide variety of salts of the compounds of Formula 1 are useful for control of plant diseases caused by fungal plant pathogens (i.e. are agriculturally suitable). The salts of the compounds of Formula 1 include acid-addition salts with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrobromic, hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, acetic, butyric, fumaric, lactic, maleic, malonic, oxalic, propionic, salicylic, tartaric, 4-toluenesulfonic or valeric acids.
Compounds selected from Formula 1, stereoisomers, N-oxides, and salts thereof, typically exist in more than one form, therefore Formula 1 includes all crystalline and non- crystalline forms of the compounds that Formula 1 represents. Non-crystalline forms include embodiments which are solids such as waxes and gums as well as embodiments which are liquids such as solutions and melts. Crystalline forms include embodiments which represent essentially a single crystal type and embodiments which represent a mixture of polymorphs (i.e. different crystalline types). The term "polymorph" refers to a particular crystalline form of a chemical compound that can crystallize in different crystalline forms, these forms having different arrangements and/or conformations of the molecules in the crystal lattice. Although polymorphs can have the same chemical composition, they can also differ in composition due to the presence or absence of co-crystallized water or other molecules, which can be weakly or strongly bound in the lattice. Polymorphs can differ in such chemical, physical and biological properties as crystal shape, density, hardness, color, chemical stability, melting point, hygroscopicity, suspensibility, dissolution rate and biological availability. One skilled in the art will appreciate that a polymorph of a compound represented by Formula 1 can exhibit beneficial effects (e.g., suitability for preparation of useful formulations, improved biological performance) relative to another polymorph or a mixture of polymorphs of the same compound represented by Formula 1. Preparation and isolation of a particular polymorph of a compound represented by Formula 1 can be achieved by methods known to those skilled in the art including, for example, crystallization using selected solvents and temperatures.

One or more of the following methods and variations as described in Schemes 1-14 can be used to prepare the compounds of Formula 1. The definitions of Q 1 , Q 2 , R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 in the compounds of Formulae 1-20 below are as defined above in the Summary of the Invention unless otherwise noted. Compounds of Formula la-lc are various subsets of Formula 1, and all substituents for Formula la-lc are as defined above for Formula 1 unless otherwise noted.
As shown in Scheme 1, compounds of Formula la (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 3 is -OR 6 and R 6 is H) can be prepared by contacting keto compounds of Formula 2 with organometallic reagents of formula Qi-M 1 wherein M 1 is MgX 1 , Li or ZnX 1 and X 1 is CI, Br or I. Typically the reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether or toluene at a temperature between about -78 to 20 °C. Reactions of this type can be found in the chemistry literature; see, for example, Koswatta et al, Organic Letters 2008, 10(21), 5055-5058 and Koswatta et al, Synthesis 2009, (17), 2970-2982. Also, the method of Scheme 1 is illustrated in present Example 1, Step E and Example 6, Step C.
Compounds of formula Qi-M 1 are commercially available and can be prepared by methods well-known to one skilled in the art. Scheme 1
As shown in Scheme 2, compounds of Formula la (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 3 is -OR 6 and R 6 is H) can also be prepared by a method analogous to Scheme 1 wherein the substituents Q 1 and R 4 are interchanged. In Method A ketones of Formula 3 containing Q 1 are reacted with organometallic reagents of formula R4-M 1 using reaction conditions as described in Scheme 1 to provide compounds of Formula la wherein R 4 is alkyl. Present Example 3, Step F illustrates this method using methyllithium. In Method B compounds of Formula 3 are contacted with hydride-containing reducing agents such as sodium borohydride, diisobutylaluminum hydride or lithium aluminum hydride in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether at a temperature between about -20 to 20 °C to provide compounds of Formula la wherein R 4 is H. Example 2, Step F illustrates this method using sodium borohydride.
Other reduction techniques known to those skilled in the art may also be employed to obtain compounds of Formula la wherein R 4 is H. For example, ketones of Formula 3 can be reduced by catalytic hydrogenation as shown in Scheme 2, Method C. Typical reaction conditions involve exposing a compound of Formula 3 to hydrogen gas at a pressure of about 70 to 700 kPa, in the presence of a metal catalyst such as palladium or ruthenium supported on an inert carrier such as activated carbon, in a solvent such as ethanol at about 20 °C. This type of reduction is well-known; see, for example, Catalytic Hydrogenation, L. Cerveny, Ed., Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, 1986, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2009, 20(5), 605-609 and Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 55(50), 9153-9156. One skilled in the art will recognize that certain other functionalities that may be present in compounds of Formula 3 can also be reduced under catalytic hydrogenation conditions, thus requiring a suitable choice of catalyst and conditions. In some cases the presence of a chiral diamine ligand having at least one N-H bond results in higher chemoselectivity of the desired compound (i.e. the carbonyl moiety is selectively reduced over certain other functionalities that may be present in compounds of Formula 3). For conditions and variations of this reaction see, for example, Praetorius et al, Organometallics 2010, 29(3), 554-561. Scheme 2

As shown in Scheme 3, Compounds of Formula la (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 3 is -OR 6 and R 6 is H) can be converted to the compounds of Formula lb (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 3 is halogen) using a variety of conditions published in the chemical literature. For example, treatment of a compound of Formula la with a fluorinating agent (e.g., bis(2- methoxyethyl)aminosulfur (Deoxo-Fluor®), diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST), HF-pyridine (Olah's reagent) or sulfur tetrafluoride) provides compounds of Formula lb wherein R 3 is F. For reaction conditions see C. J. Wang, Organic Reactions 2005, Vol. 34 (Wiley, New York, 1951) Chapter 2, pp. 319-321. Compounds of Formula lb wherein R 3 is Br can be prepared by treating the corresponding compound of Formula la with hydrobromic acid in a solvent such as glacial acetic acid using the method described by Beukers et al, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2004, 47(15), 3707-3709. Compounds of Formula lb wherein R 3 is CI can be prepared by treating the corresponding compound of Formula la with thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentachloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine in a solvent such as dichloromethane or pyridine at 25-110 °C. Compounds of Formula lb wherein R 3 is I can be prepared by reacting the corresponding compound of Formula la with sodium iodide or potassium iodide in the presence of BF3-Et 2 0 and an ether solvent such as 1,4-dioxane or with hydroiodic acid in a solvent such as acetonitrile at 25-70 °C according to general methods described in Tetrahedron Letters 2001, 42, 951-953 and Journal of the American Chemical Society 1965, 87, 539-42.

As shown in Scheme 4, compounds of Formula lc (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 1 is halogen) can be prepared by treating compounds of Formula 1 wherein R 1 is H with the corresponding N-halosuccinimide in the presence of a suitable solvent such as N,N- dimethylformamide or acetonitrile at 20 to 80 °C for a time period of about 30 minutes to 20 h, according to general procedures known in the art such as described in Tetrahedron Letters 2009, 50, 5762-5764. Example 5 and Example 6, Step D illustrate the method of Scheme 4 using NBS.

In the method of Scheme 4 halogenation typically occurs preferentially at the 4-position of the imidazole ring to provide a compound of Formula lc (i.e. Formula 1 wherein R 1 is halogen). To obtain compounds of Formula 1 wherein R 1 and R 2 are both halogen, Compounds of Formula lc can be treated with a second equivalent of the same halogenating reagent (for R 1 and R 2 being the same halogen) or a different halogenating reagent (for R 1 and R 2 being different halogens) using appropriate variations of the methods of Schemes 4 and 5. For an example illustrating the method of preparing a compound of Formula 1 wherein R 1 and R 2 are different halogens see Example 7.
As is shown in Scheme 6, intermediate compounds of Formula 2 wherein R 4 is alkyl can be prepared by contacting an organometallic reagent of formula R 4 -M 2 with an amide of Formula 4. In this method compounds of formula R 4 -M 2 are Grignard reagents (i.e. M 2 is MgX 2 and X 2 is Br or CI, for example, methylmagnesium chloride or bromide) or organolithium reagents (i.e. M 2 is Li, for example, methyllithium or tert-butyllithium). Typically the reaction is conducted in a suitable solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or toluene at a temperature between about -78 to 20 °C. The compounds of Formula 2 can be isolated by quenching the reaction mixture with aqueous acid, extracting with an organic solvent and concentrating.
Compounds of Formula 2 wherein R 4 is H can be prepared by reduction of compounds of Formula 4 with a metal hydride reducing agent such as diisobutylaluminum hydride, as shown in Scheme 6.

N(Me) 2 or N(OMe)Me) Amides of Formula 4 can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, as shown in Scheme 7, compounds of Formula 4 wherein R a is N(OMe)Me can be synthesized by conversion of a carboxylic acid of Formula 5 to the corresponding acid chloride, which can be isolated or formed in situ, as shown in Scheme 7. Treatment of the acid chloride with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride provides Formula 4 wherein R a is N(OMe)Me. Reactions of this type are well-known and published in the chemistry literature (e.g., publications relating to Weinreb amide reactions). For conditions and variations see the following references and references cited therein: PCT Patent Publication WO 2005/086836, De Luca et al, Journal of Organic Chemistry 2001, 66, 2534-2537 and Weinreb et al, Tetrahedron Letters, 1981, Vol. 22, No. 39, 3815-3818. Also, present Example 3, Step D lustrates the method of Scheme 7.
Scheme 7
Compounds of Formula 5 can be prepared as shown in Scheme 8. In this method a compound Formula 6 is first treated with a base in an appropriate solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether or toluene at temperatures ranging from about -78 °C to ambient temperature. Useful bases for this reaction include lithium salts or magnesium halide salts of amine bases such as diisopropylamine or 2,2,6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine. Subsequent treatment of the resulting anion (generated in situ) with an electrophile adds an R 2 group to the imidazole ring to provide a compound of Formula 6a. For halogenation, the electrophile can be a halogen derivative such as N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), N-iodosuccinimide (NIS), hexachloroethane, 1,2-dibromotetrachloroethane, carbon tetrabromide, hexachloroethane or a fluorinating reagent such as Accufluor® (e.g., N-fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)amine). For alkylation, the electrophile can be an alkylating agent of the formula R 2 -Lg (wherein Lg is a leaving group such as CI, Br, I or a sulfonate, for example, /?-toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate or trifluoromethanesulfonate) where R 2 is alkyl, alkylthio, haloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl, and the like. Alternatively, symmetrical electrophiles such as dialkyldisufides can be used where R 2 is alkylthio. As referred to herein, the terms "alkylation" and "alkylating agent" are not limited to R 2 being an alkyl group. For related reference see Almansa et al., Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2003, 46, 3463-3475 Tetrahedron Letters 1994, 55(21), 3465-8 and Journal of Organic Chemistry 2001, 66(15), 5163-5173. Also, Example 3, Step B illustrates the preparation of a compound of Formula 6a using the method of Scheme 8. The resulting ester of Formula 6a can be converted to the carboxylic acid of Formula 5 using a variety of methods reported in the chemical literature, including nucleophilic cleavage under anhydrous conditions or hydrolysis involving the use of either acids or bases (see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991, pp. 224-269 for a review of methods). Base-catalyzed hydrolytic methods are preferred to prepare the carboxylic acids of Formula 5 from the corresponding esters. Suitable bases include alkali metal (such as lithium, sodium, or potassium) hydroxides. For example, the esters can be dissolved in a mixture of water and alcohol such as methanol. Upon treatment with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the ester saponifies to provide the sodium or potassium salt of the carboxylic acid. Acidification with a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, gives the carboxylic acid. Example 3, Step C and PCT Publication WO 2003/016283 provide examples illustrating the base-catalyzed hydrolysis method for the conversion of an ester to an acid.

A method analogous to Scheme 8 can also be used to prepare compounds of Formula 4 wherein R 2 is halogen, alkyl, alkylthio, haloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl, and the like from the corresponding compounds of Formula 4 wherein R 2 is H.
In an alternative method, compounds of Formula 2 wherein R 4 is H can be prepared by oxidation of alcohols of Formula 7 to the corresponding aldehydes as shown in Scheme 9. The oxidation reaction can be performed by a variety of means, such as by treatment of the alcohols of Formula 7 with manganese dioxide, Dess-Martin periodinane, pyridinium chlorochromate or pyridinium dichromate. The method of Scheme 9 is illustrated in Example 1, Step D and Example 6, Step B. Scheme 9

As shown in Scheme 10, compounds of Formula 2 wherein R 1 and R 4 are H and R 2 is alkyl, haloalkyl, and the like, can also be prepared by condensation of an aniline of Formula 8 with a nitrile of Formula 9 in the presence of hydrogen chloride gas to make an amidine 10. Reaction of a compound of Formula 10 with 2-halomalonaldehyde 11 (i.e. 2- chloromalonaldehyde or 2-bromomalonaldehyde) in the presence of acetic acid and triethylamine catalysts provides compounds of Formula 2. For references see, for example, Ferreira et al, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2007, 42(11-12), 1388-1395 and references therein.

As shown in Scheme 14, compounds of Formula 13 can be prepared by treatment of an aniline of Formula 14 with a glyoxylate of Formula 15. Depending on the reactions conditions (e.g., reaction temperature and solvent) the intermediate of Formula 16 or Formula 17 is formed. Both compounds Formulae 16 and 17 undergo under cyclization when treated with a /?-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide of Formula 18 or benzotriazol-1- ylmethyl isocyanide of Formula 19 in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate, potassium tert-butoxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride, tert-butylamine or l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in an appropriate solvent such as methanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethoxyethane, at temperatures ranging from about 0 to 150 °C.

It is recognized by one skilled in the art that various functional groups can be converted into others to provide different compounds of Formula 1. Conversion of compounds of Formula 1 wherein R 3 is OH to corresponding esters, carbonates and ethers is well-known to one skilled in the art.
Compounds of Formula 1 or intermediates for their preparation may contain aromatic nitro groups, which can be reduced to amino groups, and then be converted via reactions well-known in the art such as the Sandmeyer reaction, to various halides or alkylsulfides, providing other compounds of Formula 1. By similar known reactions, aromatic amines (anilines) can be converted via diazonium salts to phenols, which can then be alkylated to prepare compounds of Formula 1 with alkoxy substituents. Likewise, aromatic halides such as bromides or iodides prepared via the Sandmeyer reaction can react with alcohols under copper-catalyzed conditions, such as the Ullmann reaction or known modifications thereof, to provide compounds of Formula 1 that contain alkoxy substituents. Additionally, some halogen groups, such as fluorine or chlorine, can be displaced with alcohols under basic conditions to provide compounds of Formula 1 containing the corresponding alkoxy substituents. The resultant alkoxy compounds can themselves be used in further reactions to prepare compounds of Formula 1 wherein R 5a is -T-U-V (see, for example, PCT Publication WO 2007/149448). Compounds of Formula 1 or precursors thereof in which R 1 or R 2 are halide, preferably bromide or iodide, are particularly useful intermediates for transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to prepare compounds of Formula 1. These types of reactions are well documented in the literature; see, for example, Tsuji in Transition Metal Reagents and Catalysts: Innovations in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, Chichester, 2002; Tsuji in Palladium in Organic Synthesis, Springer, 2005; and Miyaura and Buchwald in Cross Coupling Reactions: A Practical Guide, 2002; and references cited therein.

A compound of this invention will generally be used as a fungicidal active ingredient in a composition, i.e. formulation, with at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of surfactants, solid diluents and liquid diluents, which serve as a carrier. The formulation or composition ingredients are selected to be consistent with the physical properties of the active ingredient, mode of application and environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature.
Useful formulations include both liquid and solid compositions. Liquid compositions include solutions (including emulsifiable concentrates), suspensions, emulsions (including microemulsions and/or suspoemulsions) and the like, which optionally can be thickened into gels. The general types of aqueous liquid compositions are soluble concentrate, suspension concentrate, capsule suspension, concentrated emulsion, microemulsion and suspo-emulsion. The general types of nonaqueous liquid compositions are emulsifiable concentrate, microemulsifiable concentrate, dispersible concentrate and oil dispersion.
The general types of solid compositions are dusts, powders, granules, pellets, prills, pastilles, tablets, filled films (including seed coatings) and the like, which can be water-dispersible ("wettable") or water-soluble. Films and coatings formed from film- forming solutions or flowable suspensions are particularly useful for seed treatment. Active ingredient can be (micro)encapsulated and further formed into a suspension or solid formulation; alternatively the entire formulation of active ingredient can be encapsulated (or "overcoated"). Encapsulation can control or delay release of the active ingredient. An emulsifiable granule combines the advantages of both an emulsifiable concentrate formulation and a dry granular formulation. High-strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation.
Sprayable formulations are typically extended in a suitable medium before spraying. Such liquid and solid formulations are formulated to be readily diluted in the spray medium, usually water. Spray volumes can range from about one to several thousand liters per hectare, but more typically are in the range from about ten to several hundred liters per hectare. Sprayable formulations can be tank mixed with water or another suitable medium for foliar treatment by aerial or ground application, or for application to the growing medium of the plant. Liquid and dry formulations can be metered directly into drip irrigation systems or metered into the furrow during planting. Liquid and solid formulations can be applied onto seeds of crops and other desirable vegetation as seed treatments before planting to protect developing roots and other subterranean plant parts and/or foliage through systemic uptake. The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100 percent by weight.

The solid and liquid compositions of the present invention often include one or more surfactants. When added to a liquid, surfactants (also known as "surface-active agents") generally modify, most often reduce, the surface tension of the liquid. Depending on the nature of the hydrophilic and lipophilic groups in a surfactant molecule, surfactants can be useful as wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers or defoaming agents.
Surfactants can be classified as nonionic, anionic or cationic. Nonionic surfactants useful for the present compositions include, but are not limited to: alcohol alkoxylates such as alcohol alkoxylates based on natural and synthetic alcohols (which may be branched or linear) and prepared from the alcohols and ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof; amine ethoxylates, alkanolamides and ethoxylated alkanolamides; alkoxylated triglycerides such as ethoxylated soybean, castor and rapeseed oils; alkylphenol alkoxylates such as octylphenol ethoxylates, nonylphenol ethoxylates, dinonyl phenol ethoxylates and dodecyl phenol ethoxylates (prepared from the phenols and ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof); block polymers prepared from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and reverse block polymers where the terminal blocks are prepared from propylene oxide; ethoxylated fatty acids; ethoxylated fatty esters and oils; ethoxylated methyl esters; ethoxylated tristyrylphenol (including those prepared from ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof); fatty acid esters, glycerol esters, lanolin-based derivatives, polyethoxylate esters such as polyethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyethoxylated sorbitol fatty acid esters and polyethoxylated glycerol fatty acid esters; other sorbitan derivatives such as sorbitan esters; polymeric surfactants such as random copolymers, block copolymers, alkyd peg (polyethylene glycol) resins, graft or comb polymers and star polymers; polyethylene glycols (pegs); polyethylene glycol fatty acid esters; silicone-based surfactants; and sugar-derivatives such as sucrose esters, alkyl polyglycosides and alkyl polysaccharides.

Nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants and their recommended uses are disclosed in a variety of published references including McCutcheon 's Emulsifiers and Detergents, annual American and International Editions published by McCutcheon's Division, The Manufacturing Confectioner Publishing Co.; Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents, Chemical Publ. Co., Inc., New York, 1964; and A. S. Davidson and B. Milwidsky, Synthetic Detergents, Seventh Edition, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1987.
Compositions of this invention may also contain formulation auxiliaries and additives, known to those skilled in the art as formulation aids (some of which may be considered to also function as solid diluents, liquid diluents or surfactants). Such formulation auxiliaries and additives may control: pH (buffers), foaming during processing (antifoams such polyorganosiloxanes), sedimentation of active ingredients (suspending agents), viscosity (thixotropic thickeners), in-container microbial growth (antimicrobials), product freezing (antifreezes), color (dyes/pigment dispersions), wash-off (film formers or stickers), evaporation (evaporation retardants), and other formulation attributes. Film formers include, for example, polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers and waxes. Examples of formulation auxiliaries and additives include those listed in McCutcheon 's Volume 2: Functional Materials, annual International and North American editions published by McCutcheon's Division, The Manufacturing Confectioner Publishing Co.; and PCT Publication WO 03/024222.
The compound of Formula 1 and any other active ingredients are typically incorporated into the present compositions by dissolving the active ingredient in a solvent or by grinding in a liquid or dry diluent. Solutions, including emulsifiable concentrates, can be prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. If the solvent of a liquid composition intended for use as an emulsifiable concentrate is water-immiscible, an emulsifier is typically added to emulsify the active-containing solvent upon dilution with water. Active ingredient slurries, with particle diameters of up to 2,000 μιη can be wet milled using media mills to obtain particles with average diameters below 3 μιη. Aqueous slurries can be made into finished suspension concentrates (see, for example, U.S. 3,060,084) or further processed by spray drying to form water-dispersible granules. Dry formulations usually require dry milling processes, which produce average particle diameters in the 2 to 10 um range. Dusts and powders can be prepared by blending and usually grinding (such as with a hammer mill or fluid-energy mill). Granules and pellets can be prepared by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, December 4, 1967, pp 147-48, Perry 's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, 4th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1963, pages 8-57 and following, and WO 91/13546. Pellets can be prepared as described in U.S. 4,172,714. Water-dispersible and water-soluble granules can be prepared as taught in U.S. 4,144,050, U.S. 3,920,442 and DE 3,246,493. Tablets can be prepared as taught in U.S. 5,180,587, U.S. 5,232,701 and U.S. 5,208,030. Films can be prepared as taught in GB 2,095,558 and U.S. 3,299,566.

Water-soluble and water-dispersible formulations are typically diluted with water to form aqueous compositions before application. Aqueous compositions for direct applications to the plant or portion thereof (e.g., spray tank compositions) typically at least about 1 ppm or more (e.g., from 1 ppm to 100 ppm) of the compound(s) of this invention.
The compounds of this invention are useful as plant disease control agents. The present invention therefore further comprises a method for controlling plant diseases caused by fungal plant pathogens comprising applying to the plant or portion thereof to be protected, or to the plant seed to be protected, an effective amount of a compound of the invention or a fungicidal composition containing said compound. The compounds and/or compositions of this invention provide control of diseases caused by a broad spectrum of fungal plant pathogens in the Basidiomycete, Ascomycete, Oomycete and Deuteromycete classes. They are effective in controlling a broad spectrum of plant diseases, particularly foliar pathogens of ornamental, turf, vegetable, field, cereal, and fruit crops. These pathogens include: Oomycetes, including Phytophthora diseases such as Phytophthora infestans, Phytophthora megasperma, Phytophthora parasitica, Phytophthora cinnamomi and Phytophthora capsici, Pythium diseases such as Pythium aphanidermatum, and diseases in the Peronosporaceae family such as Plasmopara viticola, Peronospora spp. (including Peronospora tabacina and Peronospora parasitica), Pseudoperonospora spp. (including Pseudoperonospora cubensis) and Bremia lactucae; Ascomycetes, including Alternaria diseases such as Alternaria solani and Alternaria brassicae, Guignardia diseases such as Guignardia bidwell, Venturia diseases such as Venturia inaequalis, Septoria diseases such as Septoria nodorum and Septoria tritici, powdery mildew diseases such as Erysiphe spp. (including Erysiphe graminis and Erysiphe polygoni), Uncinula necatur, Sphaerotheca fuligena and Podosphaera leucotricha, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides, Botrytis diseases such as Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia fructicola, Sclerotinia diseases such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Magnaporthe grisea, Phomopsis viticola, Helminthosporium diseases such as Helminthosporium tritici repentis, Pyrenophora teres, anthracnose diseases such as Glomerella or Colletotrichum spp. (such as Colletotrichum graminicola and Colletotrichum orbiculare), and Gaeumannomyces graminis; Basidiomycetes, including rust diseases caused by Puccinia spp. (such as Puccinia recondita, Puccinia striiformis, Puccinia hordei, Puccinia graminis and Puccinia arachidis), Hemileia vastatrix and Phakopsora pachyrhizi; other pathogens including Rutstroemia floccosum (also known as Sclerontina homoeocarpa); Rhizoctonia spp. (such as Rhizoctonia solani); Fusarium diseases such as Fusarium roseum, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium oxysporum; Verticillium dahliae; Sclerotium rolfsii; Rynchosporium secalis; Cercosporidium personatum, Cercospora arachidicola and Cercospora beticola; and other genera and species closely related to these pathogens. In addition to their fungicidal activity, the compositions or combinations also have activity against bacteria such as Erwinia amylovora, Xanthomonas campestris, Pseudomonas syringae, and other related species.
Plant disease control is ordinarily accomplished by applying an effective amount of a compound of this invention either pre- or post-infection, to the portion of the plant to be protected such as the roots, stems, foliage, fruit, seeds, tubers or bulbs, or to the media (soil or sand) in which the plants to be protected are growing. The compounds can also be applied to seeds to protect the seeds and seedlings developing from the seeds. The compounds can also be applied through irrigation water to treat plants.
Rates of application for these compounds (i.e. a fungicidally effective amount) can be influenced by factors such as the plant diseases to be controlled, the plant species to be protected, ambient moisture and temperature and should be determined under actual use conditions. One skilled in the art can easily determine through simple experimentation the fungicidally effective amount necessary for the desired level of plant disease control. Foliage can normally be protected when treated at a rate of from less than about 1 g/ha to about 5,000 g/ha of active ingredient. Seed and seedlings can normally be protected when seed is treated at a rate of from about 0.1 to about 10 g per kilogram of seed.
Compounds of this invention can also be mixed with one or more other biologically active compounds or agents including fungicides, insecticides, nematocides, bactericides, acaricides, herbicides, herbicide safeners, growth regulators such as insect molting inhibitors and rooting stimulants, chemosterilants, semiochemicals, repellents, attractants, pheromones, feeding stimulants, plant nutrients, other biologically active compounds or entomopathogenic bacteria, virus or fungi to form a multi-component pesticide giving an even broader spectrum of agricultural protection. Thus the present invention also pertains to a composition comprising a compound of Formula 1 (in a fungicidally effective amount) and at least one additional biologically active compound or agent (in a biologically effective amount) and can further comprise at least one of a surfactant, a solid diluent or a liquid diluent. The other biologically active compounds or agents can be formulated in compositions comprising at least one of a surfactant, solid or liquid diluent. For mixtures of the present invention, one or more other biologically active compounds or agents can be formulated together with a compound of Formula 1, to form a premix, or one or more other biologically active compounds or agents can be formulated separately from the compound of Formula 1, and the formulations combined together before application (e.g., in a spray tank) or, alternatively, applied in succession.
Of note is a composition which in addition to the compound of Formula 1 include at least one fungicidal compound selected from the group consisting of the classes (1) methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicides; (2) dicarboximide fungicides; (3) demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides; (4) phenylamide fungicides; (5) amine/morpholine fungicides; (6) phospholipid biosynthesis inhibitor fungicides; (7) carboxamide fungicides; (8) hydroxy(2-amino-)pyrimidine fungicides; (9) anilinopyrimidine fungicides; (10) N-phenyl carbamate fungicides; (11) quinone outside inhibitor (Qol) fungicides; (12) phenylpyrrole fungicides; (13) quinoline fungicides; (14) lipid peroxidation inhibitor fungicides; (15) melanin biosynthesis inhibitors-reductase (MBI-R) fungicides; (16) melanin biosynthesis inhibitors-dehydratase (MBI-D) fungicides; (17) hydroxyanilide fungicides; (18) squalene-epoxidase inhibitor fungicides; (19) polyoxin fungicides; (20) phenylurea fungicides; (21) quinone inside inhibitor (Qil) fungicides; (22) benzamide fungicides; (23) enopyranuronic acid antibiotic fungicides; (24) hexopyranosyl antibiotic fungicides; (25) glucopyranosyl antibiotic: protein synthesis fungicides; (26) glucopyranosyl antibiotic: trehalase and inositol biosynthesis fungicides; (27) cyanoacetamideoxime fungicides; (28) carbamate fungicides; (29) oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling fungicides; (30) organo tin fungicides; (31) carboxylic acid fungicides; (32) heteroaromatic fungicides; (33) phosphonate fungicides; (34) phthalamic acid fungicides; (35) benzotriazine fungicides; (36) benzene-sulfonamide fungicides; (37) pyridazinone fungicides; (38) thiophene-carboxamide fungicides; (39) pyrimidinamide fungicides; (40) carboxylic acid amide (CAA) fungicides; (41) tetracycline antibiotic fungicides; (42) thiocarbamate fungicides; (43) benzamide fungicides; (44) host plant defense induction fungicides; (45) multi-site contact activity fungicides; (46) fungicides other than classes (1) through (45); and salts of compounds of classes (1) through (46).
Further descriptions of these classes of fungicidal compounds are provided below.
(1) "Methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 1) inhibit mitosis by binding to β-tubulin during microtubule assembly. Inhibition of microtubule assembly can disrupt cell division, transport within the cell and cell structure. Methyl benzimidazole carbamate fungicides include benzimidazole and thiophanate fungicides. The benzimidazoles include benomyl, carbendazim, fuberidazole and thiabendazole. The thiophanates include thiophanate and thiophanate-methy 1. (2) "Dicarboximide fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 2) are proposed to inhibit a lipid peroxidation in fungi through interference with NADH cytochrome c reductase. Examples include chlozolinate, iprodione, procymidone and vinclozolin.
(3) "Demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action
Committee (FRAC) code 3) inhibit C14-demethylase, which plays a role in sterol production. Sterols, such as ergosterol, are needed for membrane structure and function, making them essential for the development of functional cell walls. Therefore, exposure to these fungicides results in abnormal growth and eventually death of sensitive fungi. DMI fungicides are divided between several chemical classes: azoles (including triazoles and imidazoles), pyrimidines, piperazines and pyridines. The triazoles include azaconazole, bitertanol, bromuconazole, cyproconazole, difenoconazole, diniconazole (including diniconazole-M), epoxiconazole, fenbuconazole, fluquinconazole, flusilazole, flutriafol, hexaconazole, imibenconazole, ipconazole, metconazole, myclobutanil, penconazole, propiconazole, prothioconazole, simeconazole, tebuconazole, tetraconazole, triadimefon, triadimenol, triticonazole and uniconazole. The imidazoles include clotrimazole, imazalil, oxpoconazole, prochloraz, pefurazoate and triflumizole. The pyrimidines include fenarimol and nuarimol. The piperazines include triforine. The pyridines include pyrifenox. Biochemical investigations have shown that all of the above mentioned fungicides are DMI fungicides as described by K. H. Kuck et al, in Modern Selective Fungicides - Properties, Applications and Mechanisms of Action, H. Lyr (Ed.), Gustav Fischer Verlag: New York, 1995, 205-258.
(4) "Phenylamide fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 4) are specific inhibitors of RNA polymerase in Oomycete fungi. Sensitive fungi exposed to these fungicides show a reduced capacity to incorporate uridine into rRNA. Growth and development in sensitive fungi is prevented by exposure to this class of fungicide. Phenylamide fungicides include acylalanine, oxazolidinone and butyro lactone fungicides. The acylalanines include benalaxyl, benalaxyl-M, furalaxyl, metalaxyl and metalaxyl- M/mefenoxam. The oxazolidinones include oxadixyl. The butyrolactones include ofurace.
(5) "Amine/morpholine fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 5) inhibit two target sites within the sterol biosynthetic pathway, Δ 8 → Δ 7 isomerase and Δ 14 reductase. Sterols, such as ergosterol, are needed for membrane structure and function, making them essential for the development of functional cell walls. Therefore, exposure to these fungicides results in abnormal growth and eventually death of sensitive fungi. Amine/morpholine fungicides (also known as non-DMI sterol biosynthesis inhibitors) include morpholine, piperidine and spiroketal-amine fungicides. The morpholines include aldimorph, dodemorph, fenpropimorph, tridemorph and trimorphamide. The piperidines include fenpropidin and piperalin. The spiroketal-amines include spiroxamine. (6) "Phospholipid biosynthesis inhibitor fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 6) inhibit growth of fungi by affecting phospholipid biosynthesis. Phospholipid biosynthesis fungicides include phophorothiolate and dithiolane fungicides. The phosphorothiolates include edifenphos, iprobenfos and pyrazophos. The dithiolanes include isoprothiolane.
(7) "Carboxamide fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 7) inhibit Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) fungal respiration by disrupting a key enzyme in the Krebs Cycle (TCA cycle) named succinate dehydrogenase. Inhibiting respiration prevents the fungus from making ATP, and thus inhibits growth and reproduction. Carboxamide fungicides include benzamides, furan carboxamides, oxathiin carboxamides, thiazole carboxamides, pyrazole carboxamides and pyridine carboxamides. The benzamides include benodanil, flutolanil and mepronil. The furan carboxamides include fenfuram. The oxathiin carboxamides include carboxin and oxycarboxin. The thiazole carboxamides include thifluzamide. The pyrazole carboxamides include furametpyr, penthiopyrad, bixafen, isopyrazam, sedaxane and penflufen. The pyridine carboxamides include boscalid.
(8) "Hydroxy(2-amino-)pyrimidine fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 8) inhibit nucleic acid synthesis by interfering with adenosine deaminase. Examples include bupirimate, dimethirimol and ethirimol.
(9) "Anilinopyrimidine fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 9) are proposed to inhibit biosynthesis of the amino acid methionine and to disrupt the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes that lyse plant cells during infection. Examples include cyprodinil, mepanipyrim and pyrimethanil.
(10) "N-Phenyl carbamate fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 10) inhibit mitosis by binding to β-tubulin and disrupting microtubule assembly. Inhibition of microtubule assembly can disrupt cell division, transport within the cell and cell structure. Examples include diethofencarb.
(11) "Quinone outside inhibitor (Qol) fungicides" (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) code 11) inhibit Complex III mitochondrial respiration in fungi by affecting ubiquinol oxidase. Oxidation of ubiquinol is blocked at the "quinone outside" (Q 0 ) site of the cytochrome bc\ complex, which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of fungi. Inhibiting mitochondrial respiration prevents normal fungal growth and development. Quinone outside inhibitor fungicides (also known as strobilurin fungicides) include methoxyacrylate, methoxycarbamate, oximinoacetate, oximinoacetamide, oxazolidinedione, dihydrodioxazine, imidazolinone and benzylcarbamate fungicides. The methoxyacrylates include azoxystrobin, enestroburin (SYP-Z071), picoxystrobin and pyraoxystrobin (SYP-3343). The methoxycarbamates include pyraclostrobin and pyrametostrobin (SYP-4155). The oximinoacetates include kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin. The oximinoacetamides include dimoxystrobin, metominostrobin, orysastrobin, a-[methoxyimino]-N-methyl-2-[[[ 1 -[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethoxy]imino]- methyljbenzeneacetamide and 2-[[[3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)- 1 -methyl-2-propen- 1 -ylidene]- amino]oxy]methyl]-a-(methoxyimino)-N-methylbenzeneacetamide. The oxazolidinediones include famoxadone. The dihydrodioxazines include fluoxastrobin. The imidazolinones include fenamidone. The benzylcarbamates include pyribencarb.

General references for agricultural protectants (i.e. insecticides, fungicides, nematocides, acaricides, herbicides and biological agents) include The Pesticide Manual, 13th Edition, C. D. S. Tomlin, Ed., British Crop Protection Council, Farnham, Surrey, U.K., 2003 and The BioPesticide Manual, 2nd Edition, L. G. Copping, Ed., British Crop Protection Council, Farnham, Surrey, U.K., 2001.
For embodiments where one or more of these various mixing partners are used, the weight ratio of these various mixing partners (in total) to the compound of Formula 1 is typically between about 1 :3000 and about 3000: 1. Of note are weight ratios between about 1 :300 and about 300: 1 (for example ratios between about 1 :30 and about 30: 1). One skilled in the art can easily determine through simple experimentation the biologically effective amounts of active ingredients necessary for the desired spectrum of biological activity. It will be evident that including these additional components may expand the spectrum of diseases controlled beyond the spectrum controlled by the compound of Formula 1 alone.
In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other biologically active (particularly fungicidal) compounds or agents (i.e. active ingredients) can result in a greater-than-additive (i.e. synergistic) effect. Reducing the quantity of active ingredients released in the environment while ensuring effective pest control is always desirable. When synergism of fungicidal active ingredients occurs at application rates giving agronomically satisfactory levels of fungal control, such combinations can be advantageous for reducing crop production cost and decreasing environmental load.
Of note is a combination of a compound of Formula 1 with at least one other fungicidal active ingredient. Of particular note is such a combination where the other fungicidal active ingredient has different site of action from the compound of Formula 1. In certain instances, a combination with at least one other fungicidal active ingredient having a similar spectrum of control but a different site of action will be particularly advantageous for resistance management. Thus, a composition of the present invention can further comprise a biologically effective amount of at least one additional fungicidal active ingredient having a similar spectrum of control but a different site of action.

Sterol biosynthesis inhibitors (group (27)) control fungi by inhibiting enzymes in the sterol biosynthesis pathway. Demethylase-inhibiting fungicides have a common site of action within the fungal sterol biosynthesis pathway, involving inhibition of demethylation at position 14 of lanosterol or 24-methylene dihydrolanosterol, which are precursors to sterols in fungi. Compounds acting at this site are often referred to as demethylase inhibitors, DMI fungicides, or DMIs. The demethylase enzyme is sometimes referred to by other names in the biochemical literature, including cytochrome P-450 (14DM). The demethylase enzyme is described in, for example, J. Biol. Chem. 1992, 267, 13175-79 and references cited therein. DMI fungicides are divided between several chemical classes: azoles (including triazoles and imidazoles), pyrimidines, piperazines and pyridines.

The control efficacy of compounds of this invention on specific pathogens is demonstrated in TABLE A below. The pathogen control protection afforded by the compounds is not limited, however, to the species described in Tests A-E below. Descriptions of the compounds are provided in Index Tables A-B below. The following abbreviations are used in the index table: Me is methyl, MeO is methoxy, CN is cyano, c-Pr is cyclopropyl and Ph is phenyl, "Cmpd. No." means compound number, and "Ex." stands for "Example" and is followed by a number indicating in which example the compound is prepared. In Index Tables A-B the numerical value reported in the column "AP + (M+1)", is the molecular weight of the observed molecular ion formed by addition of H + (molecular weight of 1) to the molecule having the greatest isotopic abundance (i.e. M). The presence of molecular ions containing one or higher atomic weight isotopes of lower abundance (e.g., 37 C1, 81 Br) is not reported. The reported M+1 peaks were observed by mass spectrometry using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (AP + ).

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES OF THE INVENTION
General protocol for preparing test suspensions for Tests A-D: the test compounds were first dissolved in acetone in an amount equal to 3% of the final volume and then suspended at the desired concentration (in ppm) in acetone and purified water (50/50 mix by volume) containing 250 ppm of the surfactant Trem® 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters). The resulting test suspensions were then used in Tests A-D. Spraying a 200 ppm test suspension to the point of run-off on the test plants was the equivalent of a rate of 800 g/ha.
TEST A
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici (the causal agent of wheat leaf rust) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20 °C for 24 h, and then moved to a growth chamber at 20 °C for 7 days, after which time visual disease ratings were made.
TEST B
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Septoria tritici (the causal agent of wheat leaf blotch) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 24 °C for 48 h, and then moved to a growth chamber at 20 °C for 19 days, after which time visual disease ratings were made.
TEST C
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on tomato seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Botrytis cinerea (the causal agent of tomato Botrytis) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20 °C for 48 h, and then moved to a growth chamber at 24 °C for 3 days, after which time visual disease ratings were made.
TEST D
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore dust of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, (also known as Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici, the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew) and incubated in a growth chamber at 20 °C for 8 days, after which time visual disease ratings were made.
TEST E
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Septoria nodorum (the causal agent of Septoria glume blotch) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 24 °C for 48 h, and then moved to a growth chamber at 20 °C for 9 days, after which time visual disease ratings were made.
Results for Tests A-E are given in Table A. In the Table, a rating of 100 indicates 100% disease control and a rating of 0 indicates no disease control (relative to the controls). A dash (-) indicates no test results. An asterisk "*" next to the rating value indicates a 40 ppm test suspension was used.
