Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention provides a fungicidally active cyclopropanecarboxylic acid anilides of the general formula I

Description

The present invention is concerned with new fungicidally active cyclopropanecarboxylic acid anilides, with the use of these compounds for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and also with a process for the manufacture of the new active compounds.
Agents that act against phytopathogenic fungi have already been known. Agents of this kind known in practice are, for example, 5-ethoxy-3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (United States Patent Specifications Nos. 3,260,588 and 3,260,725) and tetramethylthiuram disulphide (German Patent Specification No. 642,532). These agents, however, do not always have a satis-factory action against phytopathogenic fungi.
The problem upon which the present invention is based has been to provide an agent having an outstanding action against phytopathogenic fungi. This problem is now solved in accordance with the present invention by the compounds of the general formula I, as defined below.
The present invention provides compounds of the general ~-formula I

~0 ~ ) _ 0~ o-a / ¦ (I) in which Rl represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R2 represents an unsubstituted phenyl group ~ or a phenyl group substituted by one or more substituents selected - from alkyl groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylthio groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen `~

6~
atoms, trifluoromethyl groups, nitro groups, alkoxycarbonyl groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkoxy part, alkylcarbonyl groups containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part, phenyl,and cyano groups, and n represents 1 or 2.
When the substituted phenyl group represented by R2 contains two or more substituents these substituents may be the same or different.
The action of the compounds of the present invention against phytopathogenic fungi is surprisingly superior to that of known agents having the same direc~ion of action and, moreover, these compounds are distinguished by a good plant tolerance and a sufficient duration of action. Since, in addition, they do not act phytotoxically when applied in the quantities that come into consideration in practice, they may accordingly be used advantageously in agriculture and in horticulture for controlling phytopathogenic fungi.
The compounds of the present invention have outstanding fungicidal properties against pathogenic fungi, for example false mildew fungi.
In contrast to known fungicidal agents having only a preventive action such as, for example, N-trichloromethyl thiophthalimide (United States Patent Specifications Nos.
2,553,770, 2,553,771 and 2,553,776) and manganese ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (United States Patent Specifications Nos.
2,504,404,and 2,710,822), the compounds of the present invention ':~

~ 30 ' ' .:' ~ .

11~8~61 surprisingly also have the additional advantage of a curative and systemic action which, therefore, makes i~ possible also to control pathogenic agents that have already penetrated into the plants.
The present invention accordingly also provides a fungicidal preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula I, in admixture or conjunction with a suitable carrier.
The preparation may of course contain one or more compounds of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a method of pro- ~
tecting a living plant against phytopathogenic fungi, wherein the living plant is treated with a compound of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a method of pro-tecting a crop area against phytopathogenic fungi, wherein the crop area is treated with a compound of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a method of dressing seeds, wherein the seeds are treated with a compound of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a pack which com-prises a compound of the general formula I together with in-structions for its use for controlling phytopathogenic fungi.
The compounds of the present invention that are especially distinguished by an outstanding fungicidal action are those of the general formula I given above in which Rl represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group and R2 represents a phenyl, methylphenyl, dimethylphenyl, ethylphenyl, isopropyl-phenyl, methoxyphenyl, ethoxyphenyl, methylthiophenyl, fluoro-phenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, dichlorophenyl, trifluoro-methylphenyl, nitrophenyl, cyanophenyl, methoxycarbonylphenyl, acetylphenyl or biphenylyl group.

The new active compounds may be applied singly or,
- 3 -", /

8~

alternatively, mixtures of at least two constitutionally different compounds of the general formula I may be applied. If aesired, other fungicides, nematocides, herbicides or other types of pest-controlling agents may be added, depending on the purpose.
The active substances are advantageously applied in the form of fungicidal preparations, for example powders, strewable preparations, granules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with the addition of liquid and/or solid vehicles or diluents and, if desired, of wetting, adhesive, emulsifying and/or dispersing agents.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example, water, mineral oils or other organic solvents, for example xylene, chlorobenzene, cyclohexanol, dioxan, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, isophorone and dimethyl sulphoxide.
Suitable solid carriers are, for example, lime, kaolin, chalk, talcum, attaclay and other clays as well as natural or synthetic silicic acid.
As surface-active agents there may be mentioned, for example, salts of ligninsulphonic acids, salts of alkylated benzenesulphonic acids, sulphonated acid amides and salts thereof, polyethoxylated amines and alcohols.
When the active substances are to be used for dressing seeds, they may also be admixed with dyestuffs in order to give the dressed seeds a clearly visible colour.
The proportion of active substance(s) in the fungicidal preparations may vary within wide limits, the exact concentra-tion of the active substances used for the preparations being primarily dependent on the quantity in which the preparations inter alia are to be used for treating soil or seeds or for ; 30 spraying leaves. The preparations may contain, for example, .

.~,~
.

approximately 1 to 80% by weight, preferably between 20 and 50~ by weiqht, of active compound(s), approximately 99 to 20~
by weight of liquid or solid carrier and also, if desired, up to 20~ by weight of surface-active agent(s).
The new compounds of the general formula I may be produced by the process of the present invention, as defined below.
The present invention further provides a process for the manufacture of a compound of the general formula I, wherein a compound of the general formula II .-(C~2)n- ~H~ R2 (~

in which Rl, R2 and n have the meanings given above, is reacted ::

in the presence of an acid-binding agent and, if desired, a ; solvent with cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride of the formula ~ III

; 20 C'l ~ C0 - C~ ¦ (III) O
~H2 The amounts used of the compound of the general formula II and the compound of the formula III are preferably in equimolar proportions.
As acid-binding agents there may be used, for example, organic bases, for example pyridine, triethylamine or N,N-dimethylaniline, or inorganic bases, for example hydroxides, : oxides and carbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, for example sodium, potassium or calcium.

As a solvent that may optionally be used, there may bementioned, for example, ether, tetrahydrofuran, benzene or ethyl acetate. Liquid acid-binding agents, for example pyridine, may serve simultaneously as solvents.
The reaction is advantageously carried out at a temperature within the range of from -10C to 120C.
The products of the process of the present invention may be isolated in a manner known per se.
