Description

B2~

The present invention relates to new compound N-dichloro-acetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine, to a process for its preparation and to its use as an antidote ~or preventing damage to crop plants by herbicides.
In the present context, by "antidotes" ("safeners") there are to be understood substances which are capable of specific antagonisation of harmful actions of herbicides on crop plants, that is to say which are capable of protecting crop plants without thereby noticeably in-fluencing the herbicidal action on the weeds to be com-bated.
It is known that when certain thiol-carbamates and acetanilides are used for combating weeds in maize and other crops, they cause damage, to a greater or lesser extent, to the crop plants.
It is furthermore known that compounds such as, for example, N-dichloroacetyl-2-methyl-indoline and N-dichloroacetyl-cis/trans-decahydroquinoline are suitable for preventing damage to crop plants by acetanilides (see DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,218,097).
However, the activity of these substances as antidotes is not always completely satisfactory.
The present invention now provides, as a new compound3 N-dichloroacetyl-1,2,394-tetrahydro-quinaldine, which has the formula C~
C~13 ~I).
~=C-CHC12 The invention also provides a process for the pre-paration of N-dichloroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine, of the formula (I), in which 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine 3 of the formula Le A 18 886 ` - 2 ~ 24 (II) ~1 is reacted with dichloroacetyl chloride, if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent and i~ appropriate in the presence of a diluent.
It has also been found that N-dichloroacetyl-lg2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine o~ the formula (I) is outstandingly suitable for protecting crop plants against herbicidal damage by thiol-carbamates and/or acetanilides.
Surprisingly, herbicidal damage, caused by thiol-carbamates or acetanilides, to crop plants is better suppressed by also using N-dichloroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetra hydro-quinaldine than by using N-dlchloroacetyl-2-methyl-indoline or N-dichloroacetyl-cis/trans-decahydro-quinoline, which are compounds known from the state of the art and are substances of the same type of action which are the most sirnilar chemically. The substance according to the invention thus represents a valuable enrichment of the art.
The preparation of N-dichloroacetyl 1,2,3,4-tetra--hydroquinaldine by reacting 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine with dichloroacetyl chloride can be illustrated by the equation which follows:

~\CH + C12HC CO Cl HCl ~CH3 H O=C-CHC 12 The 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine of the formula (II) required as a starting substance for carrying out the pro-cess according to the invention can be prepared by hydrogen-ating quinaldine with gaseous hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, such as Raney nickel or ruthenium on a support, and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, such as Le A 18 886 ,, 32~

methanol or etharlol~ at temperatures between 100C and 250 C, preferably between 150C and 200C. The hydrogen pressure can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the hydrogenation is carried out under pressures between 100 and 220 bars, preferably between 150 and 190 bars. The hydrogenation of quinaldine is preferably carried out in the absence of additional diluents, using ruthenium ~ aluminium oxide as the catalyst.
Possible acid binding agents ror carrying out the process according to the invention are all the customary acid acceptors, preferably alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, and lower tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, dimethylbenzylamine, pyridine and diazabicyclooctane. However, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine of the formula (II) employed in excess can also simulta-neously function as the acid-binding agent; in this case, use of an additional acid-binding agent is superfluous.
Water and inert organic solvents can be used as the diluent in the reaction according to the invention. Pre-ferred organic solvents include ketones, such as diethyl ketone and such as methyl isobutyl ketone; nitriles, such as propionitrile and acetonitrile; ethers, such as tetra-hydrofuran or dioxan; aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as petroleum ether, benzene, toluene or xylene, and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or chlorobenzene; esters, such as ethyl acetate; and formamides, such as, in particular, dimethylformamide.
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a sub-stantial range in the process according to the invention.
In general, the reaction is carried out at from 0 to 60C, preferably from 20 to 50C.
In carrying out the process according to the invention, 1 mole of dichloroacetyl chloride and 1 mole of acid-binding agent are preferably employed per mole of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinaldine of the formula (II). Isolation of Le A 18 886 . .

the reaction product is effected by customary methods.
In general, a procedure is rollowed ln which the reaction mixture is poured into water, after the reaction has ended, and the mixture is extracted by shak;ng with an organic solvent which is sparingly soluble in water, for example methylene c~loride, the combined organic phases are washed successively with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, then dried and evaporated and the residue is subjected to fractional distillation.
The preparation of the N-dichloroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-quinaldine according to the invention is illustrated by ~he examples which follow.
Example 1 ,~
~ ~N'~CH3 (I) 14.8 g (0.1 mol) of dichloroacetyl chloride were added to a solution of 29.4 g (0.2 mol) of l~2~3~4-tetrahydro-quinaldine in 200 ml of acetonitrile at room temperature, whilst stirring. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred at 40C for a further 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool and was poured into water. The mixture which formed was extracted several times with ~ethylene chloride. The combined organic phases were washed successively with dilute hydrochloric acid and water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to fractional dis-tillation. 20 g of N-dichloroacetyl~132/3,4-tetrahydro-quinaldine were obtained in this manner.

If 2,6-diethyl-N-chloromethyl-chloroacetanilide and pyrazole are used as starting substances, the co~rse o~ the reaction in process (a) can be represented by the equation which follows:

CH~-Cl ~ + ~ase ~ C0-CH2Cl \N - HCl C2H, ~ ~ C0-CH~Cl The N-halogenomethyl-halogenoacetanilides of the formula (VII), to be used as starting materials in process (a) 9 are known, or they can be prepared by known methods (see U.S. Patent Speci~ications 3,630,715 and 3,637,847).
They are obtained, for example, by reacting corresponding Le A 18 886 - 1 Lt ~ 4 anilines with paraformaldehyde in the presence of catalytic amounts of potassium hydroxide~ and adding a halogenoacet~l halide, for example chloroacetyl chloride, to the phenylazomethines formed.

The formula (VIII) provides a general definition of the heterocyclic compounds also to be used as starting substances. In this formula, M preferably represents hydrogen, sodium or potassium.
The heterocyclic compounds of the formula (VIII) are generally known compounds of organic chemistry.
Preferred diluents for the reaction according to process (a) are inert organic solvents, espec~ally ketones, such as diethyl ketone, and in particular methyl isobutyl ketone~ nitriles, such as propionitrile, and Le A 18 886 in particular acetonltrile; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan; aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as petroleum ether, benzene, toluene or xylene, or halogenated hydrocar~)ons, such as methylene chloride, carbon tetra-chloride, chloroform or chlorobenzene, esters, suchas ethyl acetate; and formamides, such as, in particular, dimethylf`ormamide.
Acid-binding agents which can be employed in process (a) are all the inorganic and organic acid acceptors which can customarily be used, especially alkali metal carbonates, for example sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, and furthermore lower tertiary alkylamines, aralkylamines, aromatic amines or cycloalkylamines, for example triethylamine, dimethyl-benzylamine, pyridine and diazabicyclooctane. It isalso possible to use an appropriate excess of azole, by which there is to be understood, in the present case, a compound of the formula (VIII).
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range in process (a). In general, the re-action is carried out between 0 and 120C, preferably between 20 and 80C.
In carrying out process (a), 1 to 2 moles of the heterocyclic co~pound of the formula (VIII) and 1 mole Of ac~-binding agent are preferably employed per mole of the compounds of the formula (VII). In order to isolate the compounds of the formula (IV), the reaction mixture is filtered and the filtrate is washed with water, dried and concentrated. The residue is purified, 3o if appropriate, by fractional crystallisation or dis-tillation.
In a particular form of working up, the reaction mixture is cooled to about 0C and filtered and hydrogen chloride is passed into the filtrate at 5 to -15C.
The chloride salts which have precipitated are filtered off, washed with an organic solvent, for example ethyl acetate, and partitioned in a mixture of an organic solvent, ~or example ethyl acetate, and water, with a Le A 18 886 ~ . .

All the acicls which lead to physiologically accep table salts can be used for the preparation o~ acid-addi-tion salts of the compounds of the formula (I~). Preferred acids include the hydrogen halide acids tfor example hydro-bromic acid and especially hydrochloric acid), phosphoric acid9 nitric acid, sulphuric acid, monofunctional and bifunctional carboxylic acids and h~droxycarbo~ylic acids (for example acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartar_c acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid and lactic acid), and sulphonic acids (~or example, ~-toluene-sulphonic acid and 1,5-naphthalene-disulphonic acid).
The salts o~ the compounds of the ~ormula (IV) canbe obtainei in a simple manner by customary salt formation methods, for example by dissolving a compound of the formula (I-~) in a suitable inert solvent and adding the acid, for example hydrochloric acid, and can be isolated in a known manner, for example by filtration, and i~ appropriate purified by washing with an inert organic solvent.
Salts of metals of main groups II to IV and of su~roups I and II and IV to VIII of the Periodic Table are preferably used for the preparation of metal salt complexes o~ the compounds of the formula (IV), examples of metals which may be mentioned being copper, zinc, manganese, magnesium7 tin, iron and nickel. Possible anions of these salts are those which are derived from acids~which lead to physiologically acceptable sal-ts, pre~e-rably the hydrogen halide acids (for example hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid) 9 phosphoric acid, nitric acid and sulphuric acid.
The metal salt complexes of the compounds of the formula (IV) can be obtain~d in a simple manner by customary ~rocesses, thus~ fo~ example; by dissolving the metal salt in alGohol, for example ethanol, and adding the solution to the compound of the formula Le A 18 886 ' ~ 2 (IV)~ The metal salt complexes can be isolated in a known manner, for example by filtration, and if approp-riate purified by recrystallisation.

Le A 18 886 The antidote which can be used according to the invention can be converted, if appropriate as a mixture with the herbicidal active compounds with which it is employed3 into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, foams, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances~
These formulations are produced in known manner, for example by mixing the antidote which can be used according to the invention, if appropriate as a mixture with the herbicidal active compounds with which it i8 employed3 with extenders, that is to say liquid or solid diluents or carriers, optio~-ally with the use of surface-active agents, that is to say emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents.
As liquid diluents or carriers, especially solvents, there are suitable in the main~ aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xyleneg toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes~ chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl-sulphoxide, as well as water.
As solid carriers there may be used ground natural Le A 18 886 - 41~ _ minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates. As solid carriers for gran~les there may be used crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks As emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there may be used non-ionic and an;onic emulsi~iers, such as polyoxyethylene-fatty acicl esters, polyoxyethylene-fatty alcohol ethers 3 for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sul-phonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products. Dis-persing agents include, for example, lignin sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate~ can be used in the formulations.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestxffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs or metal phthalocyanine dye-stxffs, and trace nutrients, such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain from 0.1 to 95% by weight of antidote or antidote and herbicidal active compound, preferably from 0.5 to 90%
The antidote which can be used according to the invention, as such or in the form of its formulations, can also be employed as mixtures with herbicidal active compounds, finished formulations or tank mixing being possible Mixtures with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides9 nematicides9 bird repellants, growth factors, plant nutrients and Le A 18 886 ~$~ 4 agents which improve soil structure are al~o possible.

They may be used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomising;, dusting, scattering, dry dressing, moist dressing, wet dressing, slurry dressing or encrusting.
The antidote which can be used according to the invention can be applied by methods customary for antidotes of this type. Thus, the antidote which can be used according to the invention can be applied either before or after the herbicide, or can be applied together with the herbicide. If the herbicide is used berore or after sowing, crop plants can also be protected against damage by treating the seed with the antidote before sowing (dressing), A further possible way of using the antidote is to apply it to the seed furrow during sowing.
If the plants are seedlings, these can be treated with the antidote before being transplanted.
When the antidote which can be used according to the invention is employed, the amounts customarily used, at the location, of the particular herbicides are applied.
The amounts of herbicidal active compound in general will vary between 0.1 and 5 kg/ha. The amount of antidote used is independent of the herbicide and of the amount of herbicidal active compound used. In general , the applied amounts of antidote which can be used according to the invention are between 0.1 and 5 kg~ha in the case of treatment of the soil surface 5 pre~erably between 0.2 and 4 kg/ha. In the case o~ seed treatment, the applied amounts of antidote which can be used according to the invention are in general between 10 and 300 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 25 and 200 g Le A 18 886 ~L~

The weight ratios o~ antidote to herbicidal active compound in the active compound combinations according to the invention can vary within relatively wide limits.
In general, 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0,5 part by weight~ of ant;idote of the formula (I) is pre~ent per part by weight of herbicidal active compound of the formula (IV), (V) or (VI).
The present invention also provides a composition for protecting crop plants against damage by herbicidally active thiol-carbamates and acetanilides, containing a~
active ingredient the compound of the present invention in admixture with a solid or lique~ied gaseous diluent or carrier or in admixture with a liquid diluent or carrier containing a surface-active agent.
The present invention also provides a method of pro-tecting crop plants against damage by herbicidally active thiol-carbamates and acetanilides, which comprises applying to the plants, or to a habitat thereof, the compound of the present invention alone or in the form of a composition containing as active ingredient the com-pound of the present invention in admixture with a diluent or carrier.
The present invention further provides crops protected from damage by herbicidally active thiol-carbamates and acetanilides by being grown in areas in which immediately prior to and/or during the time of the growing the compound of the present invention was applied alone or in admixture with a diluent or carrier.
It will be seen that the usual methods of providing a harvested crop may be improved by the present invention.
The good activity of the antidote which can be used according to the invention and of the active compound combinations according to the invention can be seen from the example which follows.
.
Pre-emergence test Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone Le A 18 886 f~ 4 - 1~7 -mulsifier: l part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, l part by weight of herbicidal active compound or anti-dote, or of a mixture of antidote and herbicidal activecompound, was mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier was added and the con-centrate was diluted with water to the desired concen-tration.
Seeds Or the test plants were sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the herbicide pre-paration or antidote preparation or with the preparation of antidote and herbicidal active compound. It was expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation was of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive.
After three weeks, t;he degree of damage to the plants was rated in % dama~e in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:
0% = no action (like untreated control) 100% = total destruction The active compounds 3 amounts used and results can be seen from the table which follows:
