The invention relates to a chemically peculiar process for the preparation of new amidocarbonyl isothiocyanates.

It has been found that amidocarbonyl isothiocyanates are obtained when using isocyanates of the general formula

R- (NCO) _n

in which R stands for an optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical with up to 25 carbon atoms stands, which by an ether, sulfide, sulfone,

Method for the production of thiocarbamic acid chloride. So it would have to be expected that at the reaction according to the invention both isocyanates and the hydrogen rhodanide alone with Hydrogen chloride would react to form N-substituted carbamic acid chlorides and Thiocarbamic acid chlorides. Surprisingly, these reactions do not appear, and the N-substituted amidocarbonyl isothiocyanates are obtained in very good yields.

If the reaction according to the invention is based on phenyl isocyanate and hydrogen rhodanide, then the reaction according to the invention can be represented by the following equation:

N = CO + H -NCS

NH - CO - NCS

The isocyanates used as starting materials are clear from the above general formula characterized. R therein preferably represents an optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical with up to 20 carbon atoms. You can use an ether, sulfide, sulfone,

- CO
- CH, - or - CH bridge

can be interrupted and π is 1 or 2, with hydrogen rhodanide in the presence of an inert organic Solvent at - 80 to + 50 ° C to compounds of the general formula

in which R and η have the meaning given.

In place of the hydrogen rhodanic acid, a salt of the hydrohalic acid and hydrogen halide can also be used use, whereby the free hydrogen rhodanide develops in the reaction mixture.

The course of the implementation according to the invention is surprising. Namely, it is known that isocyanates react smoothly with hydrogen halides to form carbamic acid halides. It is also known that Hydrogen halides react with free hydrogen rhodanide. So z. B. the action of hydrogen chloride a preparative one on hydrogen rhodanide

35 be interrupted. The hydrocarbon radicals are preferably substituted by halogen, especially chlorine and bromine, nitro, cyano, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, alkenylcarbonyloxy, alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl groups, the alkyl radicals preferably containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. They can also be substituted by haloalkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as trifluoromethyl.

Pure, dry hydrogen rhodanide is used as the second component. Since the manufacture is relatively difficult, it is preferable to use a salt of hydrofluoric acid, such as the alkali salts, Alkaline earth salts, heavy metal salts, such as the lead salt, the ammonium salt or a trialkylammonium salt, and a hydrogen halide, preferably hydrogen chloride.

As inert organic solvents, all organic solvents come into question, which with the Reaction components do not react. These include preferably aliphatic and aromatic Hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons and ethers, e.g. B. diethyl ether and ketones, e.g. B. Acetone.

The reaction temperatures can be varied over a wide range. In general carried out between - 80 and + 5O ⁰ C, preferably between -20 and +20 ⁰ C.

When carrying out the process according to the invention, 0.8 to 1 mole of isocyanate group is used 1.5 moles of hydrogen rhodanide. If you work with salts of the hydrohalic acid and a hydrohalic acid, the same molar ratios apply. The individual reactants are in put the solution together. The reaction mixture is kept in the specified temperature range and then worked up in the usual way.

The salts of the hydrohalic acid used which are formed during the reaction can be obtained by simple Filtration can be separated from the reaction solution. The filtrate is obtained after separation of the solvent, the process products, some of which are oily, some of which crystallize well represent.

The N-substituted amidocarbonyl isothiocyanates obtainable by the process according to the invention represent valuable new compounds. They are particularly characterized by a strong fungitoxic Effect. Since their warm-blooded toxicity is very low, they can be used to combat undesirable Find mushroom growth use. Furthermore, their compatibility with higher plants allows them to be used as a pesticide against fungal plant diseases.
