Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention relates to novel substituted 1,3-diphenyl-2-trichloromethyl-imidazolidines and acid addition salts thereof as well as to processes for their production.
The compounds according to the invention show good insecticidal and acaricidal activity. Processes for the production of the novel compounds are described and examples of certain of the novel compounds are given.
Pesticidal compositions according to the present invention are described and exemplified.

Description

- ~OS638S

The present invention relates to substituted l~3-diphenyl-
2-trichloromethyl-imidazolidines, in which the two phenyl moieties present are different, as well as to pesticidal compositions containing such compounds as act;ve ingredient. The compounds of the present invention show inter-esting insecticidal and acaricidal activity.
According to one feature of the present invention there are provided compounds of the formula:-Rz ~ CC13 R4R3[(wherein Rl, R2~ R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen or halogen atom or a nitro or lower alkyl or alkoxy group, the said Rl,R2, R3 and R4 being in the
3-, 4- or 5- position) with the proviso that ring A and ring B
are different] and acid addition salts thereof.
It will be appreciated that ring A and ring ~ may differ by having different substituents in either the same or different substitutional positionsin each ring or by having the same substituents in each ring but in different substitional positions.
The compounds of formula I and the acid addition salts thereof show good activity against various pests. Thus, for ~-example, houseflies (Musca domestica) cockroaches (e.g. Phyllo~
droma germanica), spider mites ~e.g. Tetranychus urticae), aphids , :

:''' (e.g. Aphis fabae), caterpillars (e.g. of Plutella maculipennis) and bugs (e.g. Epilachna varivestis) may be exterminated by the use of even small doses of active ingredient.
Examples of compounds of the present invention include the following:
1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3~phenyl-2-trichloromethyl-imidazoiidine and 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-trichloromethyl- ~ -imidazolidine, and the acid addition salts thereof.
The compounds of formula I may, for example, be produced by reacting a corresponding diaryl-substituted ethylene diamine of formula II with chloral according to known processes (e.g. H.~. Wanzlick and E. Schikora, Chem.
Ber 94, 2839 (1961)).
Thus according to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I as hereinbefore defined or an acid addition salt thereof which comprise9 reacting a compound of the formula--2 NH - CH2 - CH2 - NH ~ II

(wherein Rl, R2, R3 and R4 are as hereinbefore defined) with a compound of the formula:-' OHC - CCl III
whereby a compound of formula I is obtained and, if desired, subsequently converting the compound of formula I thus obtained into an acid addition salt thereof. The reaction is preferably effected in the presence of glacial acetic acidi or a mixture of glacial acetic acid and hydrochloric acid as solvent and advantageously at ambient tempeLature or at an elevated temperature e.g. a slightly elevated temperature. It is often advantageous to effect the reaction between the compound of formula II and the compound of formula III with simultaneous removal of water formed in the reaction from a solvent immiscible with water e.g. by azeotropic distillation. The substantially water immiscible solvents include, for example, benzene, toluene or xylene. The reaction ~ ;
may also, if desired~ be effected in the presence of a catalyst e.g. a reaction accelerator e.g. an acidic catalyst, such as ~-toluenesulfonic acid. This modified process results in a higher purity and in better yields, of the compounds of formula I even when a diamine, in which one of the phenyl moieties is unsubstituted or ~-substituted~ is used as the compound of formula II.
The starting compound of formula III may, for example, be obtained by reacting a compound of the formula:-~ - 4 ':

(wherein R3 and R4 are as herein~e~ore defined) with theremoval of HX. The compounds of formula IV may, for example, be prepared according to various methods, for example by reactîng an anil~ine f the fonmula:-1 ~ . ', 2 (VI) , ~wherein Rl and R2 are as hereinbefore defined), with ethyleneoxide ~Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, vol. XI/l, page 313 (1957)~ or with ethylene chlorohydrin or ethylene bromohydrin, whereby a compound of the formula : 1 ~ NH-cH2cH2-oH (VIII) 2 ~- :

-. , . , .. : .

~056385 (w~erein Rl and R2 are as hereinbefore defined) is obtained,after which the hydroxy group is replaced by group X according to conventional pr~cesses, preferably by chlorine or bromine. ~ -Moreover certain compounds of formula IV may, for example, be obtained from compounds of formula:

Rl ~ NH-CO-CH2-X (VII) (wherein Rl and R2 are as hereinbefore defined) by reduction with NaAlH2 (OCH2CH2-OCH3)2 (Tetrahedron Letters 1968, page 3303).
According to a still further feature of the present invention there are provided insecticidal and acaricidal compositions comprising as active ingredient at least one compound of formula I as hereinbefore defined or an acid addition salt thereof in association with an inert carrier or diluent~
For the control of insects the active ingredients are preferably used in the conventional manner together with diluentsJand carriers e.g. emulsifiable concentrates wettable powders, solutions, aerosols, dusting powders, granulates or colloidal dispersions.

, ,; . ' ' The preferred concentration of active ingredient for use in insecticidal and acaricidal composit~ ns according to the invention is from 0.02 to 5% by weight.
If required, the concentrates may be mixed with water, so that a spray preferably having a concentration of approximately 0.02 to 5% by weight of active ingredient is obtained.
The active ingredient content in concentrates of the present invention may, if desired, amount to 80% by weight.
Carriers and additives which may conveniently be used according to the present invention include for example solvents, diluents, stabilizers, dispersion agents, wetting agents and emulsifying agents. Moreover the insect-icidal and acaricidal compositions according to the present lnvention may, if desired, also contain urther known insecticidal or acaricidal agents.
T~e compositions of the present invention are, in general, specific in their activity against insects and acarids and as a result they may be used for specific plant protection. The compositions of the present invention , are substantially non-toxic to w~rm-blooded animals.

Moreover the active ingredients of the compositions of the present invention decompose with r;lease of chloroform . . .

- ; ..

and degrade rapidly to give non-toxic compounds which do not harm the environment.
According to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a method of preventing o_ inhibi~ing the growth or proliferation of insects and/or acarids which comprises applying to a site infested with or susceptible to infestation by insects and/or acarids an effective amount of a compound of formula I as hereinbefore described or . an acid addition salt thereof. -.
