Description Pyrimidine derivatives, process for their preparation, agents containing them and their use as fungicides The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine deriva-tives, a process for their preparation, agents containing them and their use as fungicides.

Pyrimidine derivatives are already known as active com-ponents in fungicidal agents (cf. EP-A-270,362, EP-A-259,139, EP-A 234,104). However, the action of these compounds is not always satisfactory, in particular at low application rates.

The acid addition salts of the compounds of the formula I can be obtained in a simple manner by customary salt formation methods, for example by dis-solving a compound of the formula I in a suitable organic solvent and adding the acid and are isolated in a known manner, for example by filtering off, and, if desired, purified by washing with an inert organic solvent.

The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I.

The novel pyrimidine derivatives of the formula (I) can be prepared by the following methods:
, 1) Pyrimidine derivatives of the formula I where R5 = H
can be obtained by reductive dehalogenation of 2 ~

appropriate halopyrimidines of the formula I in which R5 is halogen (Cl, Br, or I) and the remaining substituents are as defined in formula I. The dehalogenation can be carried out with hydrogen in S the presence of catalysts (for example palladium/carbon) in an inert solvent, for example water, lower alcohol (such as methanol and ethanol), ethyl acetate or toluene or mixtures thereof. The addition of bases such as alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal carbonates or alkaline earth metal hydroxides or alkaline earth metal carbonates is advantageous. The reaction is carried out in the range 15-60C under a pressure of 1 to 5 bar.

2) Pyrimidine derivatives of the formula I, in which R5 is (C1-C4)alkoxy, (C1-C4)alkylthio, phenoxy, phenyl-mercapto,phenyl-(C1-C4)alkoxyorphenyl-(Cl-C4)alkyl thio, it being possible for the 4 last-mentioned radicals in the phenyl moiety to be monosubstituted to trisubstituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, (C1-C~)alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy, (C1-C4)alkylthio, ~cl-4)haloalkylor(cl-c4)haloalkoxy,or(c2-c4)alken oxy, (C2-C4)alkynyloxy, (C1-C4)haloalkoxy, (C1-C4)alk oxy-(C1-C4)alkoxy or (C1-C4)alkylthio-~C1-C4)alkylthio, can be prepared by reaction of the appropriate halopyrimidines of the formula (I) Rs = halogen with an alkali metal compound of the formula where R5-Y
(II), in which R5 has the abovementioned meaning and Y is an alkali metal. Examples of alkali metal are sodium, potassium and lithium.

The reaction can be carried out between 0C and 130C in the course of 0.5 h to 72 h. The alkali metal compound (II) can be employed in amounts of 1 to 2 mo] equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of the halopyrimidine (I). The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of a solvent.

In the cases in which an alkali metal compound R5-Y

i5 employed in which Rs is (cl-c4)alkoxyl (C2-C4)-alkenyloxy, (C2-C4)alkynyloxy, (C1-C4)haloalkoxy or (C1-C4)alkoxy-(C1 C4 ) alkoxy,thecorrespondingalcohol R50H or an ether (for example diethyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran) or a mixture thereof is expedi-ently used as the solvent. In the cases in which an alkali metal compound R5Y is employed in which R5 is (C1-C4)alkylthio, phenoxy, phenylmercapto, phenyl-(C1-C4)alkoxy, phenyl-(C1-C4)alkylthio or (C1-C4)-alkylthio-(C1-C4)alkylthio, an ether (for example diethyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran), a nitrile (for example acetonitrile), an aromatic hydrocarbon (for example toluene or xylene) or a mixture thereof i6 used as the solvent.

3) Pyrimidine derivatives of the formula (I), in which R5 is (C1-C6)alkyl, ( C3-C7 ) cycloalkyl, ( C3-C7 ) cyclo-alkyl-(C1-C4)alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy-(C1-C4)alkyl/ (cl-C4 ) alkylthio-(C1-C4jalkyl or phenyl, it being pos-sible for the last-mentioned radical ~o be monosub-stituted to trisubstituted by (C1-C4)alkyl or (Cl-C4)-alkoxy, can be obtained by reaction of appropriate halopyrimidines of the formula (I) where R5= halogen with Grignard compounds R5MgX (III), where R5 is defined as indicated above and X is halogen (Cl, Br or I), in the presence of nickel-phosphine complexes such as, for example, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ethane-nickel(II) chloride or 1,3-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)propane-nickel(II) chloride (cf. Chem.
Pharm. Bull. 16, 2160 (1978)). The reaction can be carried out in the course of 2 - 48 h between 0C
and 80C or at the boiling point of the solvent. The Grignard compound R5MgX (III) can be employed in amounts of 1-2.5 mol equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of halopyrimidine (I). Suitable solvents are ethers such as, for example, diethyl ether, THF, - dioxane and dimethoxyethane.

The halopyrimidines I (R5 = halogen) can be obtained by reaction of the appropriate hydroxypyrimidines I
(R5 = 3H), in which R1-R4, R6-R12 and n are as defined as in the general formula (I), with halogenating agents. Halogenating agents which can be employed are, for example, thionyl chloride, phosgene, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus oxybromide or phosphorus tribromide. The reactions can be carried out in a solvent, but also without solvent.

The halogenating agent is employed in amounts of 1 to 4 equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of the hydroxypyrimidine (I). The reactions can be carried out in a temperature range from 25 to 160C. Sol-vents employed are, for example, aromatic hydro-carbons (for example benzene or toluene, inter alia) or halogenated hydrocarbons (for example chloro-benzene).

The hydroxypyrimidines (I) can be prepared by condensation of the amidine derivatives (IV) with ~-oY~ocarboxylates (v) p l~ P l ) n R1 ~/ HX
~2 '' IV V

in which Rl-R4, R5-R12 and n are as defined in formula I, X is halogen (for example chlorine, bromine or iodine) and R13 is lower alkyl radicals such as methyll ethyl and propyl.

The reactions are carried out in the temperature 2~3 s~

range from 20 to 110C or at the boiling point of the solvent within the course of 2 - 72 h. The ~-oxocarboxylate V can be employed in amounts of 1 -1.5 equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of amidine derivative IV. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a base and of a solvent. Bases employed can be, for example, inorganic bases such as alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates or organic bases such as sodium alkoxides, trialkylamines and N,N-dialkylanilines. Suitable solvents are lower alco-hols (such as methanol and ethanol), cyclic ethers (such as dioxane and THF), pyridine, N,N-dimethyl-formamide, water or mixtures thereof.

The amidine derivatives IV and the ~-oxocarboxylates V can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. J.
Org. Chem. 32, 1591 (1967) and Synthesis 1982, 451 and Organikum 1986, 516 et seq.).

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention are distingulshed by an excellent fungicidal action.
Causative organisms of fungal disease which have already penetrated into the plant tissue can be successfully controlled in a curative manner. This is particularly important and advantageous in those fungal diseases which, after infection has occurred, can no longer be controiled effectively with the otherwise customary fungicides. The spectrum of action of the compounds claimed inclut~les a plurality of various economically important phytopathogenic fungi, such as, for example, Piricularia oryzae, Venturia inaequalis, Cercospora beticola, powdery mildew species, Fusarium species, Plasmopora viticola, Pseudoperonospra cubensis [sic], Leptosphaeria nodorum, Drechslera, various rust fungi and Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides. Benzimidazole- and dicarboximide- sensitive and -resistant Boytritis cinerea [sic] strains are particularly well controlled.

The compounds according to the invention are in addition ~ 3~ 3 ?~
_ g _ also suitable for use in industrial ~ields, for example as wood preservatives, as preservatives in paints, in cooling lu~ricants for metal processing or as preserva-tives in drilling and cutting oils.

The invention al50 relates to agents which contain the compounds of the formula I in addition to suitable formulation auxiliaries.

The agents according to the invention in general contain the active compounds of the formula I in amounts of 1 to 95% by weight.

They can be variously formulated, depending on how it is prespecified by the biological and/or physicochemical parameters. Suitable formulation possibilities are therefore:
wettable powders (WP), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), aqueous solutions (SC), emulsions, sprayable solutions, dispersions having an oil or water base (SC), 8USpO--emulsions (SC~, dusting agents (DP), seed dressings, granules in the form of micro-, spray, absorption and adsorption granules, watPr-dispersible granules (WG), ULV
formulations, microcapsules, waxes or baits.

These individual formulation types are known in principle and are described, for example, in: Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie" (Chemical Technology), Volume 7, C-Hauser Verlag Munich, 4th Ed. 1986; van Falkenberg, "Pesticides Formulations", Marcel Dekker N.Y., 2nd Ed.
1972-73; ~. Martens, "Spray Drying Handbook", 3rd Ed.

The formulation auxiliaries required such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents and other additives are likewise known and are described, for example, in:

On the basis of these formulations, combinations with other pesticidally active substances, fertilizers and/or growth regulators can also be prepared, for example in the form of a finished formulation or as a tank mix~

Wettable powders are preparations which can be uniformly dispersed in water and, apart from the active compound and a diluent or inert substance, additionally contain wetting agents, for example polyoxyethylated alkyl-phenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols, alkyl- or alkylphenolsulfonates and dispersing agents, for example sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2~-dinaphthylmethane-6,6~-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate or, altexnatively, sodium oleylmethyltaurate. Emulsifiable concentrates are prepared by dissolving the active ~5 compound in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene or, alternative-ly, higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons with the addition of one or more emulsifiers. Examples of emul-sifiers which can be used are:
al}cylarylsulfonic acid calcium salts such as Ca dodecyl-benzenesulfonate or nonionic emulsifiers such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide-ethylene oxide [lacuna] sorbitan fatty acid esters, 3S polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sor~itol esters.

- 11- 2~
Dusting agents are obtained by grinding the active compound with finely divided solid substances, for example talc, natural clays such as kaolin, bentonite, poryphillite [ 5iC ] or diatomaceous earth. Granules can either be prepared by spraying the active compound onto adsorptlve granulated inert material or by applying active compound concentrates by means of adhesives, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or, alternatively, mineral oils, to the suxface of support substances such as sand or kaolinites or of granulated inert material. Suitable active compounds can also be granulated in the customary manner for the preparation of fertilizer granules - if desired mixed with fertilizers.

In wettable powders the active compound concentration is, for example, about 10 to 90% by weight, the remainder to 100~ by weight is composed of customary formulation com-ponents. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the active compound concentration can be about 5 to 80% by weight. Dust-like formulations contain mostly 5 to 20% by weight of active compound, sprayable solutions about 2 to 20% by weight of active compound. In the case of granules, the active compound content partially depends on whether the active compound i5 liquid or solid and which granulation auxiliaries, fillers etc. are used.

In addition, said active compound formulations optionally contain the adhesives, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, penetrants, solvents, fillers or support substances customary in each case.

For application, the concen~rates present in commercial form are optionally diluted in a customary manner, for example by means of water in the case of wettable pow-ders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and some-times even in the case of microgranulates. Dust-like and granulated preparations, and sprayable solutions are customarily not diluted further with other inert substances before application.

The application rate required varies with the external conditions such as temperature, humidity and the like. It can vary within wide limits, for example between 0.005 and 10.0 kg/ha or more of active substance, but it is preferably betwean 0.01 and 5 kg/ha.

The active compounds according to the invention in their commerclal formulations can be applied either alone or in combination with other fungicides knoT~n from the litera-ture.

The active compound content of the applicatlon forms prepared from the commercial formulations can vary within wide ranges, and the active compound concentration of the application forms can be from 0.0001 up to 100% by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.001 and 1% by weight. Application is carried out in one of the custom-ary ways suited to the application forms.
The following examples serve to illustrate the invention.
A. Formulation examples a) A dusting agent is obtained by mixing 10 parts by weight of active compound and 90 parts by weight of talc as the inert substance and comminuting the mixture in a hammer mill.

b) A wettable powder which is easily dispersible in water is obtained by mixing 25 part~ by weight of active compound, 65 parts by weight of kaolin-containing quart~ as the inert substance, 10 parts by weight of potassium ligninsulfonate and 1 part by weight of sodium oleoylmethyltaurate as the wetting agent and dispersant and grinding the mixture in a pinned disk mill.

c) A dispersion concentrate which is easily dispersible in water is obtained by mixing 40 parts by weight of active compound with 7 parts by weight of a sul-fosuccinic acid half~ester, 2 parts by weight of a .

2~32~

sodium ligninsulfonate and 51 parts by weight of water and grinding he mixture in a friction ball mill to a finene~s of less than 5 microns.

d) An emulsifiable concentrate can be prepared from 15 parts by weight of active compound, 75 parts by weight of cyclohexanone as the solvent and 10 parts by weight of oxyethylated nonylphenol (10 E0) as the emulsifier.

e) Granules can be prepared from 2 to 15 parts by weight of active compound and an inert granulate support material such as attapulgite, pumice granules and/or quartz sand. Expediently, a suspen-sion of the wettable powder from Example b3 having a solids content of 30% is used and this is sprayed onto the surface of attapulgite granules, dried and mixed intimately. The weight content of the wettable powder herP is about 5% and that of the inert support material is about 95% of the finished granules.
