Description

PI/5-30128/A ca o23oii~2 2_ooo-aoi-is~ ~rpf-, ~P~~ O~, PST - ~ ~c~~-,off Method of producing substituted 2-nitroguanidine derivatives The present invention relates to a novel type of method of producing substituted 2-nitro-guanidine derivatives.
It is known that, in order to produce 1,3-disubstituted 2-nitroguanidines, a further substituent may be introduced into monosubstituted 2-nitroguanidines (e.g. by alkylation) (see e.g. EP
patent applications 0.375.907, 0.376.279 and 0.383.091 ). Owing to the presence of three reactive hydrogen atoms in the monosubstituted 2-nitroguanidines used as the starting material in these reactions, the previously proposed substitution reactions of this kind are often non-selective and lead to undesired substitution products. The afore-mentioned EP
patent applications describe the production of 1,3-disubstituted 2-nitroguanidines by reacting monosubstituted nitroisothioureas with primary amines whilst cleaving mercaptan.
However, these nitroisothiourea compounds, containing alkylthio leaving groups, which are proposed as starting compounds in the known processes, can only be obtained with difficulty. In addition, in EP-A-0-483.062, a process for the production of the compounds of formula (I) by hydrolysis of hexahydro-triazines is described.
It has now been shown that the above-described methods of producing compounds of formula (I) do not satisfy the requirements demanded of a chemical production process, such as availability, toxicity, stability in storage and purity of the starting materials and excipients, reaction time, energy consumption and volumes yielded by the process, quantity and recovery of the accruing by-products and waste products, as well as purity and yield of the end product. There is therefore a need to provide improved methods of producing these compounds. It has now surprisingly been found that the method according to the invention is able to satisfy these requirements to a large extent.
Accordingly, it is the aim of the present invention to provide an improved method of producing 1-monosubstituted and 1,3-disubstituted 2-nitroguanidines from readily obtainable starting compounds, which allows specific 1,3-disubstitution without obtaining major amounts of undesired by-products.

R, N, R, .N

Accordingly, any reference to compounds of formula (I) hereinafter is understood to include also their corresponding E/Z isomers, even if the latter are not specifically mentioned in each case.
The compounds of formula (I) may be present partly in the form of tautomers, for example in the forms H R2 H Rz I2 A N N A N /N A N N

R~ N~ R~ ~N, R~ ~N~

Accordingly, any reference to compounds of formula (I) hereinbefore and hereinafter is understood to include also their corresponding tautomers, even if the latter are not specifically mentioned in each case.
The compounds of formula (1) and, where appropriate, the E/Z isomers and tautomers thereof, may be present as salts. Compounds of formula (I) having at least one basic centre may form e.g. acid addition salts. These are formed for example with strong inorganic acids, such as mineral acids, e.g. sulfuric acid, a phosphoric acid or a hydrohalic acid, with strong organic carboxylic acids, typically C,-C4alkanecarboxylic acids substituted where appropriate for example by halogen, e.g. acetic acid, such as optionally unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, e.g. oxalic, malonic, malefic, fumaric or phthalic acid, such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, e.g. ascorbic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid, or benzoic acid, or with organic sulfonic acids, such as C,-C4alkanesulfonic or arylsulfonic acids substituted where appropriate for example by halogen, e.g. methanesulfonic or p-toluenesulfonic acid.
Salts of compounds of formula (I) with acids of the said kind are preferably obtained when working up the reaction mixtures.
In a broader sense, compounds of formula (I) with at least one acid group can form salts with bases. Suitable salts with bases are for example metal salts, typically alkali or alkaline earth metal salts, e.g. sodium, potassium or magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or an organic amine, such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamine, e.g. ethyl, diethyl, methyl or dimethylpropylamine, or a mono-, di-or trihydroxy-lower alkylamine, e.g. mono-, di- or triethanolamine. Corresponding internal salts where appropriate may also be formed. Preferred compounds within the scope of this invention are agrochemically advantageous salts. Hereinbefore and hereinafter, the free compounds of formula (I) are understood where appropriate to include also by analogy the corresponding salts, and the salts are understood to include also the free compounds of formula (I). The same applies to E/Z isomers and tautomers of compounds of formula (I) and salts thereof. The free form is preferred.
In the definition of formulae (I) to (VI) given above and below, the individual generic terms are to be understood as follows:
The halogen atoms considered as substituents may be both fluorine and chlorine, and bromine and iodine, whereby fluorine, chlorine and bromine are preferred, especially chlorine. Halogen in this context is understood to be an independent substituent or part of a substituent, such as in halogenalkyl, halogenalkylthio, halogenalkoxy, halogencycloalkyl, halogenalkenyl, halogenalkynyl, halogenallyloxy or halogenallylthio. The alkyl, alkylthio, alkenyl, alkynyl and alkoxy radicals considered as substituents may be straight-chained or branched. If not defined otherwise, alkyl groups have up to 6 carbon atoms.
Examples of such alkyls which may be mentioned are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec.-butyl or tert.-butyl. Suitable alkoxy radicals which may be mentioned are, inter alias methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy or butoxy and the isomers thereof.
Alkylthio is for example methylthio, ethylthio, isopropylthio, propylthio or the isomeric butylthio. If the alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl or cycloalkyl groups considered as substituents are substituted by halogen, they may be only partially halogenated or also perhalogenated. The above-mentioned definitions apply here to halogen, alkyl and alkoxy. Examples of the alkyl elements of these groups are methyl which is mono- to trisubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CHF2 or CF3; ethyl which is mono- to pentasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CH2CF3, CF2CF3, CF2CC13, CF2CHC12, CF2CHF2, CFZCFCI2, CF2CHBr2, CF2CHCIF, CF2CHBrF or CCIFCHCIF; propyl or isopropyl, mono-to heptasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CH2CHBrCH2Br, CF2CHFCF3, CHzCF2CF3 or CH(CF3)2; butyl or one of its isomers, mono- to nonasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, such as CF(CF3)CHFCF3 or CH2(CF2)2CF3; 2-chlorocyclopropyl or 2,2-difluorocyclopropyl; 2,2-difluorovinyl, 2,2-dichlorovinyl, 2-chloroalkyl, 2,3-dichlorovinyl or 2,3-dibromovinyl.
Alkenyl and alkynyl groups contain an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. Typical representatives are allyl, methallyl or propargyl, but also vinyl and ethynyl.
The double or triple bonds in allyloxy, propargyloxy, allylthio or propargylthio are separated from the connection point to the hetero atom (N, O or S) preferably by a saturated carbon atom.
If the defined alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl or cycloalkyl groups are substituted by other substituents, they may be mono- or repeatedly substituted by identical or different substituents from those listed. In the substituted groups, it is preferable for one or two further substituents to be present. The cycloalkyl radicals considered as substituents may be, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl. The cycloalkyl radicals considered as substituents R3 may be, for example, cyclodecyl, cyclohexadecyl, cyclododecyl or cyclooctadecyl.
Aryl signifies phenyl, naphthyl, phenanthrenyl or anthracenyl, in conjunction with the substituents R3 in the compounds of formulae (II) and (III) in particular naphthyl, and in conjunction with the remaining substituents listed in particular phenyl.
In the context of the present invention, a heterocyclic radical preferably signifies a 5- to 7-membered, aromatic or non-aromatic ring with one to three hetero atoms selected from the group comprising N, O and S. Preference is given to aromatic 5- and 6-rings, which have a nitrogen atom as the hetero atom and optionally one further hetero atom, preferably nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur, especially nitrogen.
It has now surprisingly been found that the process according to the invention is able to satisfy these requirements.
The hydrolysis process according to the invention may be carried out both in an acidic, especially a strongly acidic medium, and in a basic medium. In the acidic range, pH values of 5 to 1, especially 3 to 1, are preferred. In the basic range, a pH value greater than 7 and up to 12, especially 8 to 12, in particular 8 to 10, is preferred. The reaction is carried out at normal pressure and at a temperature of 0 to 120°C, preferably 20 to 80°C.
The reaction is carried out in a solvent or diluent that is inert towards the reaction components. Suitable solvents are, in particular, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and isopropanol, as well as especially water. Further appropriate solvents are e.g.
ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, as well as other solvents which do not adversely affect the reaction. The solvents may also be used as mixtures. A
compound of formula (II) is preferably hydrolysed in an aqueous medium or in a mixture of water with an alcohol.
Suitable acids for carrying out the process are preferably mineral acids, e.g.
sulfuric acid, a phosphoric acid or a hydrohalic acid, an organic carboxylic acid, typically C,-C4alkane-carboxylic acids substituted where appropriate for example by halogen, e.g.
acetic acid, such as optionally unsaturated dicarboxylic acids , e.g. oxalic, malonic, malefic, fumaric or phthalic acid, typically hydroxycarboxylic acids, e.g. ascorbic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid, or benzoic acid, or an organic sulfonic acid, typically C,-C4alkane- or arylsulfonic acids substituted where appropriate for example by halogen, e.g. methanesulfonic or p-toluene-sulfonic acid.
Suitable bases for carrying out the process are preferably hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, such as NaOH and KOH, carbonates such as Na2C03, NaHC03, K2C03; phosphates such as Na3P04, Na2HP04, alcoholates such as sodium methanolate, sodium ethanolate and K-tert.-butanolate, organic amines such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamine, e.g. ethyl-, diethyl, triethyl- or dimethyl-propyl-amine, or a mono-, di- or trihydroxy lower alkylamine, e.g. mono-, di-or triethanol-amine, or dialkylaniline, for example N,N-dimethyl- or N,N-diethylaniline, as well as salts of organic acids, such as sodium acetate, potassium acetate or sodium benzoate, or mixtures thereof, for example acetate or phosphate buffers.
The process according to the invention is preferably used to produce compounds of formula (I) in which the heterocyclic radical A is unsaturated and is bonded by a carbon atom as a ring member to the fundamental substance. Especially preferred radicals A are pyridyl, thiazolyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydrofuranyl, furanyl, N-oxido-pyridinio, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thienyl, morpholinyl, piperidinyl, pyridinyl and pyrazinyl; most particularly pyridyl, thiazolyl, tetrahydrofuranyl and N-oxido-pyridinio, especially 3-pyridyl, 2-halogenpyrid-5-yl, 2,3-dihalogenpyrid-5-yl, 2-halogenthiazol-5-yl, tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, 5-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, 1-oxopyrid-3-yl, 1-oxo-2-halogenpyrid-5-yl and 1-oxo-2,3-dihalogenpyrid-5-yl.
Equally preferably, the heterocycles A carry one to three substituents from the group halogen, C,-C3-alkyl, C,-C3-halogenalkyl and C,-C3-halogenalkoxy each with 1 to 7 halogen atoms, and C,-C3-alkoxy.
Furthermore, compounds of formula (I) are preferably produced according to the invention, in which the radical B is a phenyl, pyridyl or thiazolyl radical that is unsubstituted or may be substituted by one to two radicals from the group halogen, C,-C3-alkyl, C,-C3-halogenalkyl and C~-C3-halogenalkoxy each with 1 to 7 halogen atoms, and C,-C3-alkoxy.
Of the compounds of formula (I) to be produced according to the invention, those that are notable are those in which R, is hydrogen, R2 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or cyclopropyl and A is pyridyl, 1-oxopyridyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, thiazolyl, or A is pyridyl, 1-oxopyridinio, tetra-hydrofuranyl or thiazolyl which is respectively substituted by one to three substituents from the group halogen, C,-C3-alkyl, C,-C3-halogenalkyl and C,-C3-halogenalkoxy each with 1 to 7 halogen atoms, and C,-C3-alkoxy. In this context, the preparation of those compounds of formula (I) is of particular interest, in which a) R~ is hydrogen;
b) R2 is hydrogen, C,-C3-alkyl or cyclopropyl, especially methyl;
c) A is 2-chloropyrid-5-yl, tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-4-yl or 2-chloro-thiazol-5-yl.
In the compounds of formulae (II) and (III) listed hereinbefore and hereinafter, the substituents for the radical R3 which may be considered are in particular C"-C,6-alkyl;
C,~-C,8-alkyl substituted by hydroxy or -COO-C,-C,6-alkyl; C3-C,$-alkenyl optionally substituted by phenyl or hydroxy; C3-C,8-alkynyl optionally substituted by phenyl; cyclooctyl, cyclodecyl, cycloheptyl, cyclododecyl, thiazolyl, pyridyl, pyridinyl, pyrazinyl or optionally substituted naphthyl.
