Production example 1

2- (4- (2-chlorophenyl) -1, 3-dithiolan-2-ylidene) -2- (pyridin-3- yl ) acetonitrile (lc-3H and lc~3L)

To a stirred solution of potassium hydroxide (0.22 g, 3.97 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (3 ml) was slowly added a solution of 2- (pyridin-3-yl ) acetonitrile (0.19 g, 1.59 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 ml) followed by a solution of carbon disulfide (0.303 g, 3.97 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 m;l) at 0°C under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. To this mixture was slowly added a solution of 2-bromo-l- (2- chlorophenyl ) ethyl methanesulfonate (0.50 g, 1.59 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then further stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs . The reaction mixture was diluted with ice cooled

distilled water (10 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 10 ml) . The combined organic layer was washed with distilled water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to get crude product. The crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography on S 111C3 gel with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane as an eluent to obtain 0.07 g and 0.11 g as two regio-isomers of the title compound lc-3H and lc-3L, respectively, as light yellow solids. The two regio-isomers of the title compound could be separated on TLC and the one at higher Rf value was assigned as lc-3H while the another one at lower Rf values on the TLC was assigned as lc-3L, using the solvent system of n-hexane and ethyl acetate.

To a stirred solution of potassium hydroxide (0.13 g, 2.38 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (3 ml) was slowly added a solution of 2- ( 6-chloropyridin-3-yl ) acetonitrile (0.15 g, 0.95 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 ml) followed by a solution of carbon disulfide (0.18 g, 2.38 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 ml) at 0°C under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. To this mixture was slowly added a solution of 2-bromo-l- ( 2- chlorophenyl ) ethyl methanesulfonate (0.30 g, 0.95 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then further stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs . The reaction mixture was diluted with ice cooled

distilled water (10 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 10 ml) . The combined organic layer was washed with distilled water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to get crude product. The crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane as an eluent to obtain 0.08 g of the title compound as a mixture of two regio-isomers as a brown viscous oil.

Test example 1 (Fungicidal test on Botrytis cinerea)

The solution of the compound of the invention (500 ppm and 200 ppm) was sprayed on fresh healthy cucumber plant at least at the three leaf stage. The cotyledon of the treated plant was cut, and its leaf was put on moist tissue paper on plastic tray. 50 μΐ of spore suspension (1 x 10 ⁶ cfu spore per ml) was dropped on the middle of the leaf using micropipette . And then a small disc of absorbent cotton was put on the spore drop, and again the 50 μΐ of spore suspension was dropped on the disc. Leaves were kept at room temperature (20°C) .

The radial growth of fungus after five day of inoculation was measured and the activity of the compound was shown as preventive value calculated according to the following

equation. Preventive value (%) = {1- (radial growth on treated) / (radial growth on control) } x 100.
