in which the substituents are as defined in claim 1 are suitable for use as microbiocides.

## Background
This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 12/528,198, filed Aug. 21, 2009 now U.S. Pat. No. 8,513,286, which is a 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2008/001315, filed Feb. 20, 2008, which claims priority from EP 07003637.1 filed Feb. 22, 2007; the contents of all above-named applications are incorporated herein by reference.


The present invention relates to novel microbiocidally active, in particular fungicidally active, pyridylamidine compounds. It further relates to intermediates used in the preparation of these compounds, to compositions which comprise these compounds and to their use in agriculture or horticulture for controlling or preventing infestation of plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, preferably fungi.
Certain phenylamidine derivatives have been proposed in the literature as microbicidally active ingredients in pesticides. For example, WO 00/46184 and WO 03/093224 disclose phenylamidines which are useful as fungicides. However, the biological properties of these known compounds are not entirely satisfactory for controlling or preventing infestation of plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, which is why there is a need to provide other compounds which have microbicidal properties. There have now been found novel pyridylamidines having microbiocidal activity.
The present invention accordingly relates to compounds of formula I

Compounds of formula I as well as intermediates and reagents used can be prepared by methods known to a skilled chemist in a variety of ways, or they are commercially available.
Compounds of formula I can be prepared by a number of known methods from amino compounds of formula II. Such methods include the following:

    a) Scheme 1 below: An amide of formula (R6)C(═O)—N(R1)(R2), or a formamide of formula HC(═O)—N(R1)(R2), is treated with reagents like POCl3, PCl3, SOCl2, COCl2, Ph—SO2Cl, Me2N—SO2Cl, (CF3CO)2O and then with an amino compound of formula II.
    b) Scheme 1 below: Reacting the amino derivative of formula II, wherein R3, R4, R5 and R7 is as defined under formula I above, with a compound of formula R6—C(OR)2—N(R1)(R2), wherein R1, R2 and R6 is as defined under formula I above, or with a compound of formula R6—C(OR)(NR1R2)2, wherein R is preferably an alkyl or phenyl group and R1, R2 and R6 is as defined under formula I above, or, for the former reagent, the two R together form an alkylidene fragment. Such transformations are described in the literature, e.g. in: Bashkirskii Khimicheskii Zhurnal (2000), 7 (2), 5-9; Indian Journal of Chemistry, Section B: Organic Chemistry Including Medicinal Chemistry (1981), 20B(12), 1075-7; ARKIVOC (Gainesville, Fla., United States) (2004), (10), 20-38.






    c) Scheme 2 below: An amino derivative of formula II can be converted into an amide and this, in turn, into the final compound of formula I by a two step sequence: 1) activation (using e.g. PCl5 or Ph3PO together with (CF3SO2)2O, followed 2) by the reaction with a amine of formula HN(R1)(R2), wherein R1 and R2 is as defined under formula I above. Such methods are describe in the literature, e.g. in Journal of Organic Chemistry (1989), 54 (5), 1144-9; Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii (1989), 25 (2), 357-67.






    d) Scheme 3 below: An amino derivative of formula II can first be transformed into the corresponding isocyanate. This one, in turn, is then reacted with a formamide of general formula HC(═O)—N(R1)(R2), wherein R1 and R2 is as defined under formula I above, to obtain a formamidine of formula I. Such methods are to be found in the literature, e.g. in Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1964), 53 (12), 1539-40; Journal für Praktische Chemie (Leipzig) (1961), 13, 265-71.






    e) Scheme 4 below: Compounds of general formulas (Ie2) and (Ie1) are subsets of compounds described by general formula (I). Compounds of general formula (Ie2) can be obtained by reacting a compound of general formula (Ie1) with an amine of formula HN(R1e)(R2e) under appropriate conditions. Fragments of the formula —N(R1e1)(R2e1) are a subset of fragments of the formula —N(R1)(R2), and compounds of the formula HN(R1e2)(R2e2) form a subset of compounds of formula HNR1R2. Such procedures can be found in the literature, e.g. in Tetrahedron Letters (1989), 30 (1), 47-50; Khimicheskii Zhurnal (2000), 7 (2), 5-9.






    f) Scheme 5 below: Compounds of general formula If, being a subset of compounds of formula I, may be prepared by acylating or alkylating compounds of formula If1. Such protocols are to be found in the literature, e.g. in Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin (1983), 31 (10), 3534-43; Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii (1989), 25 (2), 357-67; Tetrahedron (2000), 56 (39), 7811-7816; Journal of the Chemical Society, Transactions (1923), 123, 3359-75.






Substituents of formulas R and Rf are subsets of substituents of formula R1 (or R2).
Compounds of formula II may be prepared from the corresponding nitro derivatives of formula III by a variety of reduction procedures.

    g) Scheme 6 below: The reduction methods include transformation of the nitro compound of formula III, wherein R3, R4, R5 and R7 is as defined under formula I above, in the presence of a catalyst, e.g. Pd-, Ni- or Pt-based catalysts, and molecular hydrogen, in a suitable solvent at ambient temperature or at elevated temperatures, at normal or at a higher pressure, or the reduction may be carried out by one of several metal reduction methods, e.g. using metals such as Fe, Sn, Zn or reagents such as SnCl2 in an acidic and/or protic medium.






Nitro compounds of formula III may be prepared in a number of ways. These include the following:

    h) Scheme 7 below: Compounds of formula III can be obtained from compounds ofl formula IV, wherein R3, R4 and R7 are as defined under formula I above, having a leaving group R100, where R100 is SH—, nitro, halogen, imidazolyl, triazolyl, C1-C6alkylthio, C1-C6alkylsulfenyl or C1-C6alkysulfonyl, preferably halogen, C1-C6alkylthio, C1-C6alkylsulfenyl, C1-C6alkylsulfonyl, in particular F, Cl, Br, I, MeS—, MeSO— or MeSO2—; or R100 is imidazolyl, triazolyl, PhSO2—, CF3SO2—O—, p-MeC6H4SO2O—, O2N—) by reaction with R5—OH, wherein R5 is as defined under formula I above, in the presence of a base. This conversion may be effected by using a preformed salt of R5OH.






    i) Scheme 8 below: Compounds of formula III, may be obtained by reacting a precursor of formula IVi either with an electrophilic precursor R5i—X, R5i being a being a suitable subset of R5 and X being a leaving group such as a halogen or MeSO2O or p-MeC6H4SO2O, the reaction conducted preferentially in the presence of a base. Or, alternatively, compound IV, can be reacted with an alcohol of formula R5, —OH under Mitsunobu conditions, using e.g. Ph3P, EtO-C—N═N—CO-OEt in solvents such as dioxane, THF or toluene. Such methods are described in the literature, e.g. in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2006), 49 (15), 4455-4458; Tetrahedron Letters (2006), 47 (28), 4897-4901.






    j) Scheme 9 below: Nitro compounds of formula IIIj, being a subset of compounds of formula III, can also be obtained by using a suitable precursor Vj with a group Y, e.g. a halogen or a group CF3SO2O, that can be used to introduce R3j, R3j being a subset of R3. For such transformations a large number of methods are firmly established and described in the literature (e.g. Suzuki, Suzuki-Miyaura, Negishi, Stille coupling reactions, or Heck and Sonogashira reactions).






    k) Scheme 10 below: Compounds of formula IIIk, being a subset of compounds described by formula III, may be obtained as described in scheme 10 by using well-established methods. This includes e.g. Suzuki-Miyaura and Stille coupling reactions using the electrophilic species (R3k1)—X, X being a leaving group, in particular Cl, Br or I. Within the definition given in scheme 10, R3k1 is part of the many molecular scaffolds that are commonly used for the reactions possible here. (R3k1)—X includes aryl-, hetaryl- or vinyl-based halides. The method described here includes also reactions with a precursor (R5k2)—H, forming a nucleophilic species under appropriate conditions to be attached to the pyridine core fragment of (Vk). Among the latter cases are e.g. amination reactions or reactions with a precursor carbonyl compound (displaying CH acidity  to the carbonyl). In both cases, there are many catalytic systems described in the literature to effect transformation.






    l) Scheme 11 below: Compounds of formula IIIL, being a subset of compounds of formula III, may be obtained by the reaction of electrophilic compounds of formula (R3La)—X (X being a leaving group, such as a halogen or MeSO2O) with the anion generated from compounds of formula VL with a base under suitable conditions, as is well-described in the literature.






    m) Scheme 12 below: Compounds of formula IIIm, being a subset of compounds of formula III, can also be prepared by transforming a precursor functional group R3m1 into the group R3m. Fragments of formula R3m, being a subset of the fragments defined by the formula R3, and the precursor fragment of formula R3ma being such that the definitions of formula R3m are valid after the transformation has been carried out. By way of example: (R3m1)— can be HCO— that can be converted into F2CH— using reagents such as DAST or SF4, or (R3m1—) can be H3C—H2C—S— that can be transformed into H3C—H2C—S(═O)— and H3C—H2C—S(═O)2— oxidatively using standard methods that are well-described in the literature; or (R3m1—) can be —C═S)NH2 that can be transformed into a optionally substituted thiazolyl fragment using standard methods as described in the literature.






    n) The methods introduced above—under j) to m)—dealing with the introduction and transformation of the substituent R3, can also be applied in the cases of the substituents R4 and R7.
    o) Scheme 13 below: The methods mentioned above under j) to m) are also applicable, in a proper form, for the elaboration of compounds of formula IIIo, describing compounds of a subset of compounds of the formula III. In this case, a suitable substituent R5o1, is transformed into a substituent R5o, substituents R5o being a subset of substituent R5.






    p) Scheme 14 below: The methods as described above under chapters g) to o) are also valid for the cases, where the nitro group is replaced by a hydrogen or by a amino group, or by a suitably protected amino group (such as are e.g. —NH—C(═O)—CH3, —NH—C(═O)-tert-butyl, —NH-benzoyl, —N(C(═O)—CH3)2, -phthaloyl, —N(benzyl)2, —NH—C(═O)—O-tert-butyl), or by some amidine group —N═C(R6)—N(R1)(R2). One skilled in the art knows, however, that this is not a general principle, but applies to cases with compatible functional groups. By way of example, this scenario is shown in scheme 14 for the transformations described in chapter m) above for the case where an amidine group is present instead of the nitro function (formula X). Cf. definitions of R3m1 and R3m in chapter m) above and R100 is as defined in chapter h) above. The compounds of formula X wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R6 and R7 are as defined under formula I in claim I and R100 is SH—, nitro, halogen, imidazolyl, triazolyl, C1-C6alkylthio, C1-C6alkylsulfenyl or C1-C6alkysulfonyl are novel and therefore represent a further object of the present invention.






    q) Scheme 15 below: Compounds of the formula III can be prepared by direct nitration of a suitable precursor, provided the nitration protocol in question is compatible with the starting material. This nitration can be carried out in a number of well-established ways. E.g. using the mixed acid system of HNO3 and H2SO4. Along these lines, the precursor VI may be dissolved first in H2SO4 and reacted with the mixed acid system, or it may be treated directly with the mixed acid system under a variety of conditions. In addition, the nitration may be carried out in an inert solvent system, using nitrating agents such as BF4NO4. Nitration may also be carried out using HNO3 in an appropriate solvent such as H2O, AcOH, acetic acid anhydride. The same methods may also be applied to a suitable precursor of formula VII to give a compound of formula IV. X is a leaving group as defined in chapter h) above.






    r) Scheme16 below: Compounds of formula VII can be synthesized by a number of well-established methods. In particular by transforming a precursors of formulae VIII or IX. X is a leaving group as defined in chapter h) above.
    r1) If a compound of formula VIII is the precursor the methods include the transformation to a compound where X is Cl, with reagents such as PCl5, POCl3, SOCl2 or ClCO—COCl normally under heating in an inert solvent, either without or in the presence of a suitable base. If X is Br, the preferred reagents include POBr3, PBr3 and NBS together with Ph3P. If X is CF3SO2O, preferred preparative methods use reagents such as (CF3SO2)2O in the presence of a base, e.g. Et3N or 2,6-lutidine.
    r2) If a compound of formula (IX) is the precursor, preferred procedures include the following. If X is equal to Cl or Br, a Sandmeyer-type protocol can be used, i.e. diazotization followed by reaction with cuprous chloride or bromide. Or, X is F, in which case, after diazotization, a diazonium fluoroborate salt is produced that is then converted to the fluoro derivative. The fluoroborate may also be produced with an organic nitrite and BF3-etherate.






    s) Scheme 17 below: A large number of compounds of formulae VIII and IX or of compounds being potential precursors thereof are commercially available. In addition, there are many ways of achieving the syntheses of pyridine building blocks of general formulae VIII and 1× as is amply documented in the literature.

The reactions leading to compounds of formula I are advantageously carried out in aprotic inert organic solvents. Such solvents are hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene or cyclohexane, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane or chlorobenzene, ethers such as diethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, nitriles such as acetonitrile or propionitrile, amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, diethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidinone. The reaction temperatures are advantageously between −20° C. and +120° C. In general, the reactions are slightly exothermic and, as a rule, they can be carried out at room temperature. To shorten the reaction time, or else to start the reaction, the mixture may be heated briefly to the boiling point of the reaction mixture. The reaction times can also be shortened by adding a few drops of base as reaction catalyst. Suitable bases are, in particular, tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, quinuclidine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene or 1,5-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. However, inorganic bases such as hydrides, e.g. sodium hydride or calcium hydride, hydroxides, e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, or hydrogen carbonates such as potassium hydrogen carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate may also be used as bases. The bases can be used as such or else with catalytic amounts of a phase-transfer catalyst, for example a crown ether, in particular 18-crown-6, or a tetraalkylammonium salt.
The compounds of formula I can be isolated in the customary manner by concentrating and/or by evaporating the solvent and purified by recrystallization or trituration of the solid residue in solvents in which they are not readily soluble, such as ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The compounds of formula I and, where appropriate, the tautomers thereof, can be present in the form of one of the isomers which are possible or as a mixture of these, for example in the form of pure isomers, such as antipodes and/or diastereomers, or as isomer mixtures, such as structural isomer, stereo isomer, diastereoisomer and enantiomer mixtures, for example racemates, diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures, depending on the number, absolute and relative configuration of asymmetric carbon atoms which occur in the molecule and/or depending on the configuration of non-aromatic double bonds which occur in the molecule; the invention relates to the pure isomers and also to all isomer mixtures which are possible and is to be understood in each case in this sense hereinabove and hereinbelow, even when stereochemical details are not mentioned specifically in each case.
Diastereo-isomeric mixtures or racemate mixtures of compounds I, which can be obtained depending on which starting materials and procedures have been chosen can be separated in a known manner into the pure diasteromers or racemates on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the components, for example by fractional crystallization, distillation and/or chromatography.
Enantiomeric mixtures, such as racemates, which can be obtained in a similar manner can be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, for example by recrystallization from an optically active solvent, by chromatography on chiral adsorbents, for example high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on acetyl celulose, with the aid of suitable microorganisms, by cleavage with specific, immobilized enzymes, via the formation of inclusion compounds, for example using chiral crown ethers, where only one enantiomer is complexed, or by conversion into diastereomeric salts, for example by reacting a basic end-product racemate with an optically active acid, such as a carboxylic acid, for example camphor, tartaric or malic acid, or sulfonic acid, for example camphorsulfonic acid, and separating the diastereomer mixture which can be obtained in this manner, for example by fractional crystallization based on their differing solubilities, to give the diastereomers, from which the desired enantiomer can be set free by the action of suitable agents, for example basic agents.
Pure diastereomers or enantiomers can be obtained according to the invention not only by separating suitable isomer mixtures, but also by generally known methods of diastereoselective or enantioselective synthesis, for example by carrying out the process according to the invention with starting materials of a suitable stereochemistry.
It is advantageous to isolate or synthesize in each case the biologically more effective isomer, for example enantiomer or diastereomer, or isomer mixture, for example enantiomer mixture or diastereomer mixture, if the individual components have a different biological activity.
The compounds I and, where appropriate, the tautomers thereof, can, if appropriate, also be obtained in the form of hydrates and/or include other solvents, for example those which may have been used for the crystallization of compounds which are present in solid form.
It has now been found that the compounds of formula I according to the invention have, for practical purposes, a very advantageous spectrum of activities for protecting useful plants against diseases that are caused by phytopathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria or viruses.
The invention relates to a method of controlling or preventing infestation of useful plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, wherein a compound of formula I is applied as active ingredient to the plants, to parts thereof or the locus thereof. The compounds of formula I according to the invention are distinguished by excellent activity at low rates of application, by being well tolerated by plants and by being environmentally safe. They have very useful curative, preventive and systemic properties and are used for protecting numerous useful plants. The compounds of formula I can be used to inhibit or destroy the diseases that occur on plants or parts of plants (fruit, blossoms, leaves, stems, tubers, roots) of different crops of useful plants, while at the same time protecting also those parts of the plants that grow later e.g. from phytopathogenic microorganisms.
It is also possible to use compounds of formula I as dressing agents for the treatment of plant propagation material, in particular of seeds (fruit, tubers, grains) and plant cuttings (e.g. rice), for the protection against fungal infections as well as against phytopathogenic fungi occurring in the soil.
Furthermore the compounds of formula I according to the invention may be used for controlling fungi in related areas, for example in the protection of technical materials, including wood and wood related technical products, in food storage or in hygiene management.
The compounds of formula I are, for example, effective against the phytopathogenic fungi of the following classes: Fungi imperfecti (e.g. Botrytis, Pyricularia, Helminthosporium, Fusarium, Septoria, Cercospora and Alternaria) and Basidiomycetes (e.g. Rhizoctonia, Hemileia, Puccinia). Additionally, they are also effective against the Ascomycetes classes (e.g. Venturia and Erysiphe, Podosphaera, Monilinia, Uncinula) and of the Oomycetes classes (e.g. Phytophthora, Pythium, Plasmopara). Outstanding activity has been observed against powdery mildew (Erysiphe spp.). Furthermore, the novel compounds of formula I are effective against phytopathogenic bacteria and viruses (e.g. against Xanthomonas spp, Pseudomonas spp, Erwinia amylovora as well as against the tobacco mosaic virus). Good activity has been observed against Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi).
Within the scope of the invention, useful plants to be protected typically comprise the following species of plants: cereal (wheat, barley, rye, oat, rice, maize, sorghum and related species); beet (sugar beet and fodder beet); pomes, drupes and soft fruit (apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries); leguminous plants (beans, lentils, peas, soybeans); oil plants (rape, mustard, poppy, olives, sunflowers, coconut, castor oil plants, cocoa beans, groundnuts); cucumber plants (pumpkins, cucumbers, melons); fibre plants (cotton, flax, hemp, jute); citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mandarins); vegetables (spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, paprika); lauraceae (avocado, cinnamomum, camphor) or plants such as tobacco, nuts, coffee, eggplants, sugar cane, tea, pepper, vines, hops, bananas and natural rubber plants, as well as ornamentals.
The term “useful plants” is to be understood as including also useful plants that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides like bromoxynil or classes of herbicides (such as, for example, HPPD inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, for example primisulfuron, prosulfuron and trifloxysulfuron, EPSPS (5-enol-pyrovyl-shikimate-3-phosphate-synthase) inhibitors, GS (glutamine synthetase) inhibitors) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. An example of a crop that has been rendered tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox, by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis) is Clearfield® summer rape (Canola). Examples of crops that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicides by genetic engineering methods include glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® and LibertyLink®.
The term “useful plants” is to be understood as including also useful plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus Bacillus. 
Transgenic plants containing one or more genes that code for an insecticidal resistance and express one or more toxins are known and some of them are commercially available. Examples of such plants are: YieldGard® (maize variety that expresses a CryIA(b) toxin); YieldGard Rootworm® (maize variety that expresses a CryIIIB(b1) toxin); YieldGard Plus® (maize variety that expresses a CryIA(b) and a CryIIIB(b1) toxin); Starlink® (maize variety that expresses a Cry9 (c) toxin); Herculex I® (maize variety that expresses a CryIF(a2) toxin and the enzyme phosphinothricine N-acetyltransferase (PAT) to achieve tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium); NuCOTN 33B® (cotton variety that expresses a CryIA(c) toxin); Bollgard I® (cotton variety that expresses a CryIA(c) toxin); Bollgard II® (cotton variety that expresses a CryIA(c) and a CryIIA(b) toxin); VIPCOT® (cotton variety that expresses a VIP toxin); NewLeaf® (potato variety that expresses a CryIIIA toxin); Nature-Gard®, Agrisure® GT Advantage (GA21 glyphosate-tolerant trait), Agrisure® CB Advantage (Bt11 corn borer (CB) trait) and Protecta®.
The term “useful plants” is to be understood as including also useful plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances having a selective action, such as, for example, the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225). Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 95/33818, and EP-A-0 353 191. The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
The term “locus” of a useful plant as used herein is intended to embrace the place on which the useful plants are growing, where the plant propagation materials of the useful plants are sown or where the plant propagation materials of the useful plants will be placed into the soil. An example for such a locus is a field, on which crop plants are growing.
The term “plant propagation material” is understood to denote generative parts of the plant, such as seeds, which can be used for the multiplication of the latter, and vegetative material, such as cuttings or tubers, for example potatoes. There may be mentioned for example seeds (in the strict sense), roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes and parts of plants. Germinated plants and young plants which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from the soil, may also be mentioned. These young plants may be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion. Preferably “plant propagation material” is understood to denote seeds.
The compounds of formula I can be used in unmodified form or, preferably, together with carriers and adjuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation.
Therefore the invention also relates to compositions for controlling and protecting against phytopathogenic microorganisms, comprising a compound of formula I and an inert carrier, and to a method of controlling or preventing infestation of useful plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, wherein a composition, comprising a compound of formula I as active ingredient and an inert carrier, is applied to the plants, to parts thereof or the locus thereof.
To this end compounds of formula I and inert carriers are conveniently formulated in known manner to emulsifiable concentrates, coatable pastes, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations e.g. in polymeric substances. As with the type of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering, coating or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances. The compositions may also contain further adjuvants such as stabilizers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders or tackifiers as well as fertilizers, micronutrient donors or other formulations for obtaining special effects.
Suitable carriers and adjuvants can be solid or liquid and are substances useful in formulation technology, e.g. natural or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, thickeners, binders or fertilizers. Such carriers are for example described in WO 97/33890.
The compounds of formula I or compositions, comprising a compound of formula I as active ingredient and an inert carrier, can be applied to the locus of the plant or plant to be treated, simultaneously or in succession with further compounds. These further compounds can be e.g. fertilizers or micronutrient donors or other preparations which influence the growth of plants. They can also be selective herbicides as well as insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, molluscicides or mixtures of several of these preparations, if desired together with further carriers, surfactants or application promoting adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation.
A preferred method of applying a compound of formula I, or a composition, comprising a compound of formula I as active ingredient and an inert carrier, is foliar application. The frequency of application and the rate of application will depend on the risk of infestation by the corresponding pathogen. However, the compounds of formula I can also penetrate the plant through the roots via the soil (systemic action) by drenching the locus of the plant with a liquid formulation, or by applying the compounds in solid form to the soil, e.g. in granular form (soil application). In crops of water rice such granulates can be applied to the flooded rice field. The compounds of formula I may also be applied to seeds (coating) by impregnating the seeds or tubers either with a liquid formulation of the fungicide or coating them with a solid formulation.
A formulation, i.e. a composition comprising the compound of formula I and, if desired, a solid or liquid adjuvant, is prepared in a known manner, typically by intimately mixing and/or grinding the compound with extenders, for example solvents, solid carriers and, optionally, surface-active compounds (surfactants).
The agrochemical formulations will usually contain from 0.1 to 99% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 95% by weight, of the compound of formula I, 99.9 to 1% by weight, preferably 99.8 to 5% by weight, of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and from 0 to 25% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 25% by weight, of a surfactant.
Whereas it is preferred to formulate commercial products as concentrates, the end user will normally use dilute formulations.
Advantageous rates of application are normally from 5 g to 2 kg of active ingredient (a.i.) per hectare (ha), preferably from 10 g to 1 kg a.i./ha, most preferably from 20 g to 600 g a.i./ha. When used as seed drenching agent, convenient rates of application are from 10 mg to 1 g of active substance per kg of seeds. The rate of application for the desired action can be determined by experiments. It depends for example on the type of action, the developmental stage of the useful plant, and on the application (location, timing, application method) and can, owing to these parameters, vary within wide limits.
Said methods are particularly effective against the phytopathogenic organisms of the kingdom Fungi, phylum Basidiomycot, class Uredinomycetes, subclass Urediniomycetidae and the order Uredinales (commonly referred to as rusts). Species of rusts having a particularly large impact on agriculture include those of the family Phakopsoraceae, particularly those of the genus Phakopsora, for example Phakopsora pachyrhizi, which is also referred to as Asian soybean rust, and those of the family Pucciniaceae, particularly those of the genus Puccinia such as Puccinia graminis, also known as stem rust or black rust, which is a problem disease in cereal crops and Puccinia recondita, also known as brown rust.
An embodiment of said method is a method of protecting crops of useful plants against attack by a phytopathogenic organism and/or the treatment of crops of useful plants infested by a phytopathogenic organism, said method comprising simultaneously applying glyphosate, including salts or esters thereof, and at least one compound of formula I, which has activity against the phytopathogenic organism to at least one member selected from the group consisting of the plant, a part of the plant and the locus of the plant.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the compounds of formula I, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, described above have also an advantageous spectrum of activity for the treatment and/or prevention of microbial infection in an animal.
“Animal” can be any animal, for example, insect, mammal, reptile, fish, amphibian, preferably mammal, most preferably human. “Treatment” means the use on an animal which has microbial infection in order to reduce or slow or stop the increase or spread of the infection, or to reduce the infection or to cure the infection. “Prevention” means the use on an animal which has no apparent signs of microbial infection in order to prevent any future infection, or to reduce or slow the increase or spread of any future infection.

Alternatively this pharmaceutical composition can be in a form suitable for parenteral administration, for example injection. Alternatively this pharmaceutical composition can be in inhalable form, such as an aerosol spray.

a) Preparation of 3,5-dibromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-ol




In a 1.5 I five-necked reaction flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, protected from sunlight with aluminium foil, 30.0 g of 6-methyl-pyridin-2-ol is suspended in 300 ml of dry acetonitrile and stirred at ambient temperature. Under cooling with an ice/water cooling bath, 97.9 g of N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) is added slowly portion-wise over a time interval of 25 minutes. A minor exothemicity is observed (temperature up to 29° C.). As the suspension is difficult to stir, an additional 300 ml of dry acetonitrile is added and stirring continued at ambient temperature for 1.75 hours. Thereafter, the suspension was filtered, the filter cake thoroughly washed with methanol in order to remove the succinimide, and dried to give 64.1 g of the compound as a white solid (m.p. >225° C.).
b) Preparation of 3-bromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-ol




In a 1.5 I five-necked reaction flask (flame-dried), 63.1 g of 3,5-dibromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-ol is suspended in 300 ml of dry THF and stirred under argon at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture is cooled down to −78 to −80° C. (Et2O/dry ice cooling bath). 295 ml of a 1.6 M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane is added over 2.5 hour, whereby a temperature increase to −74° C. is observed (yellow-orange suspension). Stirring is continued at −78 to -80° C. for 1 hour. Then, 42.6 ml of water is added slowly over 15 minutes. After stirring at −78° C. for 20 minutes, the temperature was allowed to reach ambient temperature overnight. The next day, the mixture is concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow wet solid. After adding 200 ml of an ageous NaCl solution, extraction is done using AcOEt at a pH value of 9 giving 37.2 g (gum) after drying the organic phase over sodium sulfate, filtration and concentration in vacuo and concentrating the water phase in vacuo leads to 70.1 g of a solid. The combined batches thus obtained are purified by flash chromatography [silica gel (column: h=25 cm, Ø=12 cm) with tert-butylmethylether together with 1 volume % of AcOH]. The fractions containing predominantly the compound are combined (29.7 g altogether) and suspended in Et2O at ambient temperature, the mixture stirred, then filtered, the filter cake washed with Et2O to give 14.7 g of the compound as a white solid after drying (m.p.=212-213° C.).

In a 100 ml single-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with a condensor, 4.36 g of the pyridone is introduced into 17 ml of phosphorous oxide chloride (brown suspension). This mixture is then stirred under heating to reflux for 7 h. After cooling the mixture to ambient temperature, it is concentrated in vacuo at 50° C., followed by adding toluene and concentrating in vacuo for three times, to obtain a brown oily gum. This gum is treated with ice followed by an excess of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The extraction is carried out with AcOEt.

The finely ground active ingredient is intimately mixed with the adjuvants, giving a suspension concentrate from which suspensions of any desired dilution can be obtained by dilution with water. Using such dilutions, living plants as well as plant propagation material can be treated and protected against infestation by microorganisms, by spraying, pouring or immersion.
The activity of the compositions according to the invention can be broadened considerably, and adapted to prevailing circumstances, by adding other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients. The mixtures of the compounds of formula I with other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients may also have further surprising advantages which can also be described, in a wider sense, as synergistic activity. For example, better tolerance by plants, reduced phytotoxicity, insects can be controlled in their different development stages or better behaviour during their production, for example during grinding or mixing, during their storage or during their use.
Suitable additions to active ingredients here are, for example, representatives of the following classes of active ingredients: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenol derivatives, thioureas, juvenile hormones, formamidines, benzophenone derivatives, ureas, pyrrole derivatives, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, acylureas, pyridyl-methyleneamino derivatives, macrolides, neonicotinoids and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations.
