Description

~o66~s8 The present invention relates to and has for its objects the provision of particular new fungicidal compos-itions containing, and methods of combating fungi using, l-(diaryloxy)-l-imidazoL~ -dimethyl-butan-2-ones and derivatives, which compositions are in the form of mix-tures of such compounds with solid and liquid dispersible carrier vehicles. Oth~r and further objects will become apparent from a study of the within specification and ac-companying examples.
lQ It has been disclosed in German Published Spec-ification DOS 2,201,063 that triazolyl-O,N-acetals such as, for example, l-(p-chlorophenoxy)-1-[1,2,4-triazolyl-(1)~-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one (Compound A), possess a very good fungicidal activity. Furthermore, it is known from Patent Specification 3,321,366 and German Published Specification DOS 1,795,24~ that tris-phenyl-imidazolyl-(l)-(Compound B) and -1,2,4-triazolyl-(1)-methane (Compound C) exhibit a fungicidal action against phytophathogenic fungi. However, the effect of these compounds is not always entirely satis-factory in some fields of use9 especially if low amounts and low concentrations are used.

It has been iound that compounds which are diaryloxy-imidazolyl-O,N-acetals or ~alts thereof, the diaryloxy-imidazolyl-O,N-acetal~ being oi the generPl formula Le A 16 091 -2- ~

in which X and Y each independently is halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl-thio, nitro, amino, alkylamino, or dialkylamino, Z is a direct bond, oxygen, sulfur, methylene, sulfonyl, alkoxymethylene or keto, A is -CO-, -CHOH- or -C(OH)-, R is alkyl, A is an integer from 1 to 3 and may also be O if Z is not a direct bond, and b is an integer from O to 3, exhibit powerful fungi-cidal properties against phytopathogenic fungi, and are thus useful as the active ingredient in fungicidal compositions for plant protection use.
Surprisingly, the diaryloxy-imidazolyl-O,N-acetals to be used according to the invention exhibit a substantially greater fungicidal action than the azole derivatives known in the art, for example tris-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolyl-(l)-methane, tris-phenyl-imidazolyl-(l)-methane and l-(p-chloro-phenoxy)-1-[1,2,4-triazolyl-(1)]-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one. The very good action against species of Erysiphe, Fusicladium and Uromyces should be singled out for particular mention. The compounds usable according to the invention thus represent an enrichment of the art.
X and Y are preferably fluorine, chlorine or bromine, alkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms, (for example methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and ter-tiary butyl), alkoxy with up to 4, especially with 1 or 2, carbon atoms, (for example methoxy), ,~

haloalkylthio with up to 4 carbon atom~ and up to 5 halogen atom~, especially with 1 or 2 carbon atoma and up to 3 identi-cal or di~ierent halogen atoms, preierred halogene being fluorine, and chlorine, (for example triiluoromethylthio), nitro, amlno or alkylamino or dialkylamino with up to 4, especially with 1 or 2, carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety, (~or example ethylamino and dimethylamino). The indices a and b are preierably 0, 1 or 2. When Z i~ alkoxymethylene it is preierably methoxymethylene or etho~ymethylene. When A is a -C(OH)- group, R is preferably methyl or ethyl.

If the active compound i~ used in the iorm of a salt, it is usually preferable that the acid forming the salt should be a physiologically tolerated acid. Preierred acids include the hydrogen halide acids, ior example hydro-chloric acid and hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, nitricacid, the monofunctional and biiunctional carboxylic acids and the hydroxycarboxylic acids, ior example acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, iumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid and lactic acid, and 1,5-naphthaleneaisu~fonic acid.

Le A 16 091 ~066188 Active compounds to be used according to the invention are prepared in German Application P 24 29 514.5, filed 3une 20, 1974 and laid open for inspection in December 1975.
Those compounds to be used according to the present invention in which, in formula I, A is a carbonyl group, can be prepared according to a method described in our Canadian Patent Application Serial No. 240,533, filed November 26, 1975; the method is given below as (a). Methods (b) and (c) below are applicable respectively to compounds in which A is a -CH(OH)-group and to compounds in which A is a -~(OH)-group.
(a) A haloether-ketone is reacted with an imidazole, for example in equimolar amounts, if appropriate in the presence of an inorganic acid-binding agent, for example potassium carbonate, or in the presence of an organic acid-binding agent, for example triethylamine or excess imidazole, and in the presence of a polar solvent, for example acetonitrile, at tem-peratures of 20 to 150C; the resulting reaction mixture is evaporated in vacuo; the residue is taken up with an organic solvent, for example methy-lene chloride; the solution is extracted by shaking with water; and the organic phase is distilled in vacuo. The oil which remains after the sol-vent has passed over is purified according to customary methods (see Example 7C hereinbelow).

106618t3 (b) A compound obtained according to method (a), i~
reduced, for example by a generally c~,tomary method. The reduction ca.n be e~fected for example (1) with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, for example Raney nickel, and a polar solvent, ~or example methanol, at 20-~0C; or (2) with aluminum isopropylate in the presence o~ an inert solvent at 20-120C, with subsequent hydroly~i~; or (3) with a complex hydride (for example sodium borohydride or lithium alanate) in thepresence of a polar solvent, ~or example methanol, at l.0 0-30C, followed by hydrolysis, ~or example with hydrochloric acid; or (4) with formamidinesulfinic acid and alkali metal hydroxide, ~or example sodium hydroxide, in aqueous solution at 20-100C in the presence of a polar solvent, for example ethanol.
(c) A compound obtained according to method (a) is subjected to reductive alkylation, especially by means of a Grignard reagent, such as an alkyl-magne~ium halide (pre-ferably an iodide or bromide), for example with methyl-magnesium iodide in anhydrous diethyl ether at 20-80C, and the product is hydrolyzed, ~or example with aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The compounds of the ~ormula I, thus obtained, may be isolated according to customary methods and purified if appropriate (see Example 9A hereinbelow).
The salts o~ the compounds oi the formula I can be 2~ obtained in a simple ma~ner in accordance with customary methods of forming salts, ~or example by dissolving the ba~e in ether;
for example diethyl ether, and adding the acid, ~or example hydrogen chloride, and they can be isolated in a known manner, ~or example by filtering o~P, and can be purified if desired (see Example 9B hereinbelow).

Le A 16 091 -7-The haloether-ketones to be used as 8tarting materials have not previously been disclosed but can be pre-pared according to processes whlch have been known for a long time, for example by reacting the corresponding phenol derivative with a haloketone (the so-called "Williamson ether synthesi~"). The active hydrogen atom which still remains i~ then replaced by halogen in the usual manner (see Example 7A an~ ~ he~einbelow).
~he fungicidal active compounds according to the in-vention have a very broad spectrum of action and can be used against parasitic fungi which infect above-ground part~ of plants or attack the plants through the soil, and also Qgainst seed-borne pathogens.
Fungitoxic agEnts are employed in plant protection for 1~ combating fungi from very diverse classes of fungi, such as Archim.ycetes, PhYcom.vcetes, Ascomvcetes, LasidiomYcetes and un~i ImPerfecti .

As has in part already been mentioned, the active com-pounds to be used according to the invention display a 20 particularly good activ$ty against parasitic fungi on above-ground parts of plants, such as species o~ Er~siphe and species of Venturia, as well as against epecie~ o~ ricularia and species of Pellicularia. Good eiiecte are achieved ag~inst the pathogens o~ apple scab (Fusiclad$um dendriticum), of 25 powdsry mildew oi cereals (~E_siPhe ~raminis) and of bean rust (Uromyces Phaseoli). A point to be singled out particularly is that these active compounds not only display a protective action but are also curatively active, that iB to say active on application after con.tamination with the ~pores of the 30 fungus. Furthermore, the systemic action of the compounds Le A 16 091 should be pointed out. Thus it proves possible to protect plants against fungal iniection if the active compound is ~upplied to the above-ground parts of the plant ~ia the ~oil and the root. As plant protection agents, these compounds can be used for the treatment of soil, ior the treatment o*
seed and ior the treatment oi above-ground parts oi plants.

The active compounds to be used according to the invention are well tolerated by plants. ~hey have only a low toxicity to warm-blooded animals and because of their low oaor and their good toleration by human skin they are not unpleasant to handle.
The active compound~ to be u~ed according to the present invention can be converted into the usual iormulations, such as solutions, emulsions, ~uspensions, powders, pastes and granulates. These may be produced in known manner, ior example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid or solid or liquefied gaseous diluents or carriers, optionally with the use of suriace-active agents, that is, emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-iorming agents. In the case oi the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents.
AB liquid diluents or carriers, there are preferably used aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylenes, toluene, benzene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic or aliphatic hydro-carbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or parafiins, for example mineral oil iraction~, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such a9 acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl i80-Le A 16 091 -9-~3i66~88 butyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or ~trongly polar solYent8, such as dimethyl formamide, dimethyl ~ulphoxide or aceto-nitrile, as well as water.
Ly liquefied gaseou~ diluent~ or carriers are meant liquid~ which wolld be ga~eous at normal temperature~ and pressure~, e.g. aero~ol propell~nt~, 9uch as halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. ~reon.
The active compounds according to the instant invention can be utilized, if desired, in the form of the usual formulations or compositions with conventional inert (i.e. plant compatible or herbicidally inert) pesticide diluents or extenders, i.e. diluents, carriers or extenders of the type usable in conventional pesti-cide formulations or compositions, e.g. conventional pesticide dispersible carrier vehicles such as gases, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, spray powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusting agents, granules, etc. These are prepared in known manner, for instance by extending the active compounds with conventional pesticide dispersible liquid diluent carriers and/or dispersible solid carriers optionally with the use of carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. conventional pesticide surface-active agents, including emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, whereby, for example, in the case where water is used as diluent, organic solvents may be added as auxiliary solvents. The following ~ay be chiefly conside~ed for use as conventional carrier vehicles for Le A 16 091 -10-this purpose: aerosol propellants which are gas ous at normal temperatures and pressures, such as Freon; inert dispersible liquid diluent carriers, including inert organic solvents, such as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, alkyl naphthalenes, etc.), halogenated, especially chlorinated, aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. chloro-benzenes, etc.), cycloalkanes, (e.g. cyclohexane, etc.), paraffins (e.g. petroleum or mineral oil fractions), chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. methylene chloride, chloroethylenes, etc.), alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, glycol, etc.) as well as ethers and esters thereof (e.g. glycol monomethyl ether, etc.), amines (e.g. ethanolamine, etc.), amides (e.g. dimethyl formamide, etc.), sulfoxides (e.g. dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.), acetonitrile, ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.), and/or water; as well as inert dispersible finely divided solid carriers, such as ground natural minerals (e.g. kaolins, clays, alumina, silica, chalk, i.e. calcium carbonate, talc, attapulgite, montmorillonite, kieselguhr, etc.) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid, silicates, e.g. alkali silicates, etc.); whereas the following may be chiefly considered for use as conventional carrier vehicle assistants, e.g. surface-active agents, for this purpose: emulsifying agents, such as non-ionic and/or anionic emulsifying agents (e.g. polyethylene oxide esters ~ad~ ~har~l~
Le A 16 091 -11-10661~8 of fatty acids, polyethylene oxide ethers of fatty alcohols, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, aryl sulfonates, albumin hydrolyzates, etc., and especially alkyl arylpolyglycol ethers, magnesium stearate, sodium oleate, etc.); and/or dispersing agents, such as lignin, sulfite waste liquors, methyl cellulose, etc.
Such active compounds may be employed alone or in the form of mixtures with one another and/or with such solid and/or li~uid dispersible carrier vehicles and/or with other known compatible active agents, especially plant protection agents, such as ot'ner fungicides, or insecticides, acaricides, nematocides, bactericides, ro-denticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth-regulating agents, bird repellents, plant nutrients, agents for improving soil stnlcture, etc., if desired or in the form of particular dosage preparations for specific application made therefrom, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes, and granules which are thus ready for use.
As concerns commercially marketed preparations, these generally contemplate carrier composition mixtures in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 0.1-95% by weight, and preferablyO.5-90% by weight, of the mixture, whereas carrier composition mixtures suitable for direct application or field application generally contemplate those in which the active compound is present in an amount substantially between about 0.0001-10%, preferably 0.01-1%, by we~ght of Le A 16 091 -12-~066188 the mixture. Thus, the present invention contemplates over-all compositions which comprise mixtures of a conventional dispersible carrier vehicle such as (1) a dispersible inert finely divided carrier solid, and/or (2) a dispersible carrier liquid such as an inert organic solvent and/or water, preferably including a surface-active effective amount of a carrier vehicle assistant, e.g. a surface-active agent, such as an emulsifying agent and/or a dispersing agent, and an amount of the active compound which is effective for the purpose in question and which is generally between about 0.0001-95%, and preferably 0.01-95%, by weight of the mixture.
The active compounds can also be used in accordance with the well known ultra-low-volume process with good success, i.e. by applying such compound if normally a liquid, or by applying a liquid composition containing the same, via very effective atomizing equipment, in finely divided form, e.g. average particle diameter of from 50-100 microns, or even less, i.e. mist form, for example by airplane crop spraying techniques. Only up to at most about a few liters/hectare are needed, and often amounts only up to about 15 to 1000 g/hectare, preferably 40 to 600 g/hectare, are sufficient. In this process it is possible to use highly concentrated liquid compos-itions with said liquid carrier vehicles containing from about 20 to about 95% by weight of the active compound or even the 100% active substance alone, e.g. about 20-100% by weight of the active compound.
Le A 16 091 -13-~066~

When u~ed Be lea~ ~ungicides, the concentratione o~
active compound in compositione used ~or application can be varied within a ~ubstantial range. They are in general from 0.1 to 0.00001 per cent by weight, pre~erably 0.05 to 0.0001~.
In the treatment o~ ~eed, amount~ oi active compound of 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram o~ ~eed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are in general applied to the ~eed.
For the treatment of 90il, amounts o~ active compound of 1 to 1,000 g per cubic meter of 80il, preferably of 10 to 200 g, are generally applied to the ~oil.
At somewhat higher concentrations, the active compounds alao po~sess plant growth-regulating properties.

Furthermore, the present invention contemplates methods of selectively killing, combating or controlling pests, e.g. fungi, which comprises applying to at least one of correspondingly (a) such fungi, and (b) the corresponding habitat thereof, i.e. the locus to be protected, e.g. to à
growing crop, to an area where a crop is to be grown or to a domestic animal, a correspondingly combative or toxic amount, i.e. a fungicidally effective amount, of the part-icular active compound of the invention alone or together with a carrier vehicle as noted above. The instant form-ulations or compositions are applied in the usual manner, for instance by spraying, atomizing, vaporizing, scattering, dusting, watering, squirting, sprinkling, pouring, fumigating, dry dressing, moist dressing, wet dressing, slurry dressing encrusting and the like.
Le A 16 091 -14-It will be realized, of course, that the concen-tration of the particular active compound utilized in admixture with the carrier vehicle will depend upon the intended application. Therefore, in special cases it is possible to go above or below the aforementioned concen-tration ranges.
The unexpected superiority and outstanding activity of the particular new compounds of the present invention are illustrated, without limitation, by the following examples:
Example 1.
Mycelium growth test Nutrient medium used:
20 parts by weight of agar-agar 200 part~ by weight oi potato decoction 5 parts by weight of malt 15 part~ by weight of dextrose 5 parts by weight of peptone 2 parts by weight of disodium hydrogen phosphate 0-3 part by weight of calcium nitrate Proportion of solvent mixture to nutrient medium:
2 parts by weight of solvent mi~ture 100 parts by weight o~ agar nutrient medium Composition o~ solvent mixture 0.19 part by weight o~ dimethyl~ormamide or acetone 0.01 part by weight of emulsi~ier (alkylaryl polyglycol ether) 1.80 parts bY weiRht oi water 2 parts by weight oi solvent mixture Le A 16 091 -15-106611~8 The amount o~ active compound required ~or the desired concentration of active compound in the nutrient medium was mixed with the stated amount of solvent mixture. The concentrate was thoroughly mixed, in the ~tated proportion, with the liquid nutrient medium which had been cooled to 42C and was then poured into Petri dishes of 9 cm di-ameter. Control plates to which the preparation had not been added were also set up.
When the nutrient medium had cooled and solidified, the plateæ were inoculated with the species of ~ungi stated in Table 1 and incubated at about 21C.
Evaluation wa~ carried out after 4 - 10 days, dependent upon the speed of growth of the fungi. When evaluation was carried out the radial growth of the mycelium on the treated nutrient media was compared with the growth on the control nutrient media. In the evaluation of the iungu8 growth, the iollowing characteristic values are used:
1 no fungus growth up to 3 very strong inhibition oi growth up to 5 medium inhibition of growth up to 7 slight inhibition o~ growth 9 growth equal to that of the untreated control.
