Patent ID: 8519003

Claim:
A phenoxyphenylamidine of formula (I) in which R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen; straight-chain or branched C 1-12 -alkyl, C 2-12 -alkenyl, C 2-12 -alkynyl or cyclic C 3-8 -alkyl, C 4-8 -alkenyl, C 4-8 -alkynyl groups, where in the ring system of all of the cyclic groups mentioned above one or more carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S and all of the groups mentioned above may be substituted by one or more groups selected from the group consisting of —R′, —X, —OR′, —SR′, —NR′ 2 , —SiR′ 3 , —COOR′, —CN and —CONR′ 2 , where R′ may represent hydrogen or a C 1-12 -alkyl group; —SH; and —SR″, where R″ may represent a C 1-12 -alkyl group; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of straight-chain, branched C 1-12 -alkyl, C 2-12 -alkenyl, C 2-12 -alkynyl, cyclic C 3-8 -alkyl, C 4-8 -alkenyl, C 4-8 -alkynyl of the C 5-18 -aryl, C 7-19 -aralkyl and C 7-19 -alkaryl groups, where in the ring system of all of the cyclic groups mentioned above one or more carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S and all of the groups mentioned above may be substituted by one or more groups selected from the group consisting of —R′, —X, —OR′, —SR′, —NR′ 2 , —SiR′ 3 , —COOR′, —CN and —CONR′ 2 , where R′ has the above meanings; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of straight-chain, branched, and alicyclic C 2-8 -alkyl groups; or in which R 2 and R 3 , R 2 and R 1 or R 1 and R 3 with the atom to which they are attached or with further atoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S may form a four- to seven-membered ring which may be substituted by R′, OR′, SR′, NR′ 2 , or SiR′ 3 groups, where R′ has the above meanings; R 4 and R 5 independently of one another are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —X, —CN, —SH, —SR″, —OR″, —(C═O)—R″, where R″ has the above meanings, straight-chain, branched C 1-12 -alkyl, C 2-12 -alkenyl, C 2-12 -alkynyl, cyclic C 3-8 -alkyl, C 4-8 -alkenyl, and C 4-8 -alkynyl groups, and C 5-18 -aryl, C 7-19 -aralkyl and C 7-19 -alkaryl groups, where in the ring system of all of the cyclic groups mentioned above one or more carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, P and S and all of the groups mentioned above may be substituted by one or more groups selected from the group consisting of —R′, —X, —OR′, —SR′, —NR′ 2 , —SiR′ 3 , —COOR′, —CN and —CONR′ 2 , where R′ has the above meanings; and X is selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine; or a salt thereof.
