More recently, hydroxy isoxazoles were disclosed as useful for controlling phytopathogenic fungi (WO2018/202487). A benzothiophene-hydroxyisoxazole compound is known from JP6049352 B2.
Numerous fungicidal agents have been developed until now. However, the need remains for the development of new fungicidal compounds in order to address the ever increasing environmental and economic requirements imposed on modern-day crop protection agents and compositions. This includes, for example, improvement to the spectrum of action, safety profile, selectivity, application rate, formation of residues, and favourable preparation ability. It may also be desired to have new compounds to prevent the emergence of fungicides resistance.
The present invention provides new fungicidal compounds which have advantages over known compounds and compositions in at least some of these aspects.

Methods and uses
The compounds of formula (I) and the compositions comprising thereof have potent microbicidal activity. They can be used for controlling unwanted microorganisms, such as unwanted fungi and bacteria. They can be particularly useful in crop protection (they control microorganisms that cause plants diseases) or for protecting materials (e.g. industrial materials, timber, storage goods) as described in more details herein below. More specifically, the compounds of formula (I) and the compositions comprising thereof can be used to protect seeds, germinating seeds, emerged seedlings, plants, plant parts, fruits, harvest goods and/or the soil in which the plants grow from unwanted microorganisms.
Control or controlling as used herein encompasses protective, curative and eradicative treatment of unwanted microorganisms. Unwanted microorganisms may be pathogenic bacteria, pathogenic virus, pathogenic oomycetes or pathogenic fungi, more specifically phytopathogenic bacteria phytopathogenic virus, phytopathogenic oomycetes or phytopathogenic fungi. As detailed herein below, these phytopathogenic microorganims are the causal agents of a broad spectrum of plants diseases.
More specifically, the compounds of formula (I) and compositions comprising thereof can be used as fungicides. For the purpose of the specification, the term “fungicide” refers to a compound or composition that can be used in crop protection for the control of unwanted fungi, such as Plasmodiophoromycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes and/or for the control of Oomycetes, more preferably for the control of Basidiomycetes (causing rust diseases).
The present invention also relates to a method for controlling unwanted microorganisms, such as phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria, comprising the step of applying at least one compound of formula (I) or at least one composition comprising thereof to the microorganisms and/or their habitat (to the plants, plant parts, seeds, fruits or to the soil in which the plants grow).
Typically, when the compound and the composition of the invention are used in curative or protective methods for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or phytopathogenic oomycetes, an effective and plant-compatible amount thereof is applied to the plants, plant parts, fruits, seeds or to the soil or substrates in which the plants grow. Suitable substrates that may be used for cultivating plants include inorganic based substrates, such as mineral wool, in particular stone wool, perlite, sand or gravel; organic substrates, such as peat, pine bark or sawdust; and petroleum based substrates such as polymeric foams or plastic beads. Effective and plant-compatible amount means an amount that is sufficient to control or destroy the fungi present or liable to appear on the cropland and that does not entail any appreciable symptom of phytotoxicity for said crops. Such an amount can vary within a wide range depending on the fungus to be controlled, the type of crop, the crop growth stage, the climatic conditions and the respective compound or composition of the invention used. This amount can be determined by systematic field trials that are within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.
Plants and plant parts
The compounds of formula (I) and compositions comprising thereof may be applied to any plants or plant parts.
Plants mean all plants and plant populations, such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants may be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the genetically modified plants (GMO or transgenic plants) and the plant cultivars which are protectable and non-protectable by plant breeders’ rights. Plant parts are understood to mean all parts and organs of plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples of which include leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits and seeds, and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, slips and seeds.
Plants which may be treated in accordance with the methods of the invention include the following: cotton, flax, grapevine, fruit, vegetables, such as Rosaceae sp. (for example pome fruits such as apples and pears, but also stone fruits such as apricots, cherries, almonds and peaches, and soft fruits such as strawberries), Ribesioidae sp., Juglandaceae sp., Betulaceae sp., Anacardiaceae sp., Fagaceae sp., Moraceae sp., Oleaceae sp., Actinidaceae sp., Lauraceae sp., Musaceae sp. (for example banana trees and plantations), Rubiaceae sp. (for example coffee), Theaceae sp., Sterculiceae sp., Rutaceae sp. (for example lemons, oranges and grapefruit); Solanaceae sp. (for example tomatoes), Liliaceae sp., Asteraceae sp. (for example lettuce), Umbelliferae sp., Cruciferae sp., Chenopodiaceae sp., Cucurbitaceae sp. (for example cucumber), Alliaceae sp. (for example leek, onion), Papilionaceae sp. (for example peas); major crop plants, such as Gramineae sp. (for example maize, turf, cereals such as wheat, rye, rice, barley, oats, millet and triticale), Asteraceae sp. (for example sunflower), Brassicaceae sp. (for example white cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, pak choi, kohlrabi, radishes, and oilseed rape, mustard, horseradish and cress), Fabacae sp. (for example bean, peanuts), Papilionaceae sp. (for example soya bean), Solanaceae sp. (for example potatoes), Chenopodiaceae sp. (for example sugar beet, fodder beet, swiss chard, beetroot); useful plants and ornamental plants for gardens and wooded areas; and genetically modified varieties of each of these plants.
In some preferred embodiments, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and also parts thereof, are treated in accordance with the methods of the invention.
In some other preferred embodiments, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated in accordance with the methods of the invention. More preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are commercially available or are in use are treated in accordance with the invention. Plant cultivars are understood to mean plants which have new properties ("traits") and have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivars, varieties, bio- or genotypes.
The methods according to the invention can be used in the treatment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), e.g. plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants (or transgenic plants) are plants of which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into genome. The expression“heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which is provided or assembled outside the plant and when introduced in the nuclear, chloroplastic or mitochondrial genome gives the transformed plant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing a protein or polypeptide of interest or by down regulating or silencing other gene(s) which are present in the plant (using for example, antisense technology, cosuppression technology, RNA interference - RNAi - technology or microRNA - miRNA - technology). A heterologous gene that is located in the genome is also called a transgene. A transgene that is defined by its particular location in the plant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event. Plants and plant cultivars which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include all plants which have genetic material which impart particularly advantageous, useful traits to these plants (whether obtained by breeding and/or biotechnological means).
Plants and plant cultivars which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include plants and plant cultivars which are resistant against one or more biotic stresses, i.e. said plants show a better defense against animal and microbial pests, such as against nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids.
Plants and plant cultivars which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include those plants which are resistant to one or more abiotic stresses. Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought, cold temperature exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, flooding, increased soil salinity, increased mineral exposure, ozone exposure, high light exposure, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorus nutrients, shade avoidance.
Plants and plant cultivars which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include those plants characterized by enhanced yield characteristics. Increased yield in said plants can be the result of, for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination efficiency and accelerated maturation. Yield can furthermore be affected by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stress conditions), including but not limited to, early flowering, flowering control for hybrid seed production, seedling vigor, plant size, internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, pod size, pod or ear number, seed number per pod or ear, seed mass, enhanced seed filling, reduced seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodging resistance. Further yield traits include seed composition, such as carbohydrate content and composition for example cotton or starch, protein content, oil content and composition, nutritional value, reduction in anti-nutritional compounds, improved processability and better storage stability.
Plants and plant cultivars which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include plants and plant cultivars which are hybrid plants that already express the characteristic of heterosis or hybrid vigor which results in generally higher yield, vigor, health and resistance towards biotic and abiotic stresses.
Plants and plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include plants and plant cultivars which are herbicide- tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or more given herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance.
Plants and plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can be treated by the above disclosed methods include plants and plant cultivars which are insect- resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants made resistant to attack by certain target insects.

diseases caused by bacterial pathogens, for example Xanthomonas species (e.g. Xanthomonas campestris pv. Oryzae), Pseudomonas species (e.g. Pseudomonas syringae pv. Lachrymans), Erwinia species (e.g. Erwinia amylovora).
In particular, the compounds of formula (I) and compositions comprising thereof are efficient in controlling phythopathogenic fungi causing rust diseases.
Seed Treatment
The method for controlling unwanted microorganisms may be used to protect seeds from phytopathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi.
The term“seed(s)” as used herein include dormant seed, primed seed, pregerminated seed and seed with emerged roots and leaves.
Thus, the present invention also relates to a method for protecting seeds and/or crops from unwanted microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, which comprises the step of treating the seeds with one or more compounds of formula (I) or a composition comprising thereof. The treatment of seeds with the compound(s) of formula (I) or a composition comprising thereof not only protects the seeds from phytopathogenic microorganisms, but also the germinating plants, the emerged seedlings and the plants after emergence.
The seeds treatment may be performed prior to sowing, at the time of sowing or shortly thereafter.
When the seeds treatment is performed prior to sowing (e.g. so-called on-seed applications), the seeds treatment may be performed as follows: the seeds may be placed into a mixer with a desired amount of compound(s) of formula (I) or a composition comprising thereof (either as such or after dilution), the seeds and the compound(s) of formula (I) or the composition comprising thereof are mixed until a homogeneous distribution on seeds is achieved. If appropriate, the seeds may then be dried.
The invention also relates to seeds treated with one or more compounds of formula (I) or a composition comprising thereof. As said before, the use of treated seeds allows not only protecting the seeds before and after sowing from unwanted microorganisms, such as phytopathogenic fungi, but also allows protecting the germinating plants and young seedlings emerging from said treated seeds. A large part of the damage to crop plants caused by harmful organisms is triggered by the infection of the seeds before sowing or after germination of the plant. This phase is particularly critical since the roots and shoots of the growing plant are particularly sensitive, and even small damage may result in the death of the plant. Therefore, the present invention also relates to a method for protecting seeds, germinating plants and emerged seedlings, more generally to a method for protecting crop from phytopathogenic microorganisms, which comprises the step of using seeds treated by one or more compounds of formula (I) or a composition comprising thereof.
Preferably, the seed is treated in a state in which it is sufficiently stable for no damage to occur in the course of treatment. In general, seeds can be treated at any time between harvest and shortly after sowing. It is customary to use seeds which have been separated from the plant and freed from cobs, shells, stalks, coats, hairs or the flesh of the fruits. For example, it is possible to use seeds which have been harvested, cleaned and dried down to a moisture content of less than 15% by weight. Alternatively, it is also possible to use seeds which, after drying, for example, have been treated with water and then dried again, or seeds just after priming, or seeds stored in primed conditions or pre-germinated seeds, or seeds sown on nursery trays, tapes or paper.
The amount of compound(s) of formula (I) or composition comprising thereof applied to the seed is typically such that the germination of the seed is not impaired, or that the resulting plant is not damaged. This must be ensured particularly in case the active ingredients would exhibit phytotoxic effects at certain application rates. The intrinsic phenotypes of transgenic plants should also be taken into consideration when determining the amount of compound(s) of formula (I) or composition comprising thereof to be applied to the seed in order to achieve optimum seed and germinating plant protection with a minimum amount of compound(s) of formula (I) or composition comprising thereof being employed.
As indicated above, the compounds of the formula (I) can be applied, as such, directly to the seeds, i.e. without the use of any other components and without having been diluted, or a composition comprising the compounds of formula (I) can be applied. Preferably, the compositions are applied to the seed in any suitable form. Examples of suitable formulations include solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, slurries or combined with other coating compositions for seed, such as film forming materials, pelleting materials, fine iron or other metal powders, granules, coating material for inactivated seeds, and also ULV formulations. The formulations may be ready-to-use formulations or may be concentrates that need to be diluted prior to use.
These formulations are prepared in a known manner, for instance by mixing the active ingredient or mixture thereof with customary additives, for example customary extenders and solvents or diluents, dyes, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, preservatives, secondary thickeners, adhesives, gibberellins, and also water.
These formulations are prepared in a known manner, by mixing the active ingredients or active ingredient combinations with customary additives, for example customary extenders and solvents or diluents, dyes, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, preservatives, secondary thickeners, adhesives, gibberellins, and also water.
Useful dyes which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all dyes which are customary for such purposes. It is possible to use either pigments, which are sparingly soluble in water, or dyes, which are soluble in water. Examples include the dyes known by the names Rhodamine B, C.l. Pigment Red 112 and C.l. Solvent Red 1 . Useful wetting agents which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all substances which promote wetting and which are conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Usable with preference are alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, such as diisopropyl- or diisobutylnaphthalenesulfonates. Useful dispersants and/or emulsifiers which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all nonionic, anionic and cationic dispersants conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Usable with preference are nonionic or anionic dispersants or mixtures of nonionic or anionic dispersants. Useful nonionic dispersants include especially ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block polymers, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers and tristryrylphenol polyglycol ether, and the phosphated or sulfated derivatives thereof. Suitable anionic dispersants are especially lignosulfonates, polyacrylic acid salts and arylsulfonate/formaldehyde condensates. Antifoams which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all foam-inhibiting substances conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Silicone antifoams and magnesium stearate can be used with preference. Preservatives which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all substances usable for such purposes in agrochemical compositions. Examples include dichlorophene and benzyl alcohol hemiformal. Secondary thickeners which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all substances usable for such purposes in agrochemical compositions. Preferred examples include cellulose derivatives, acrylic acid derivatives, xanthan, modified clays and finely divided silica. Adhesives which may be present in the seed dressing formulations are all customary binders usable in seed dressing products. Preferred examples include polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and tylose.
The compounds of the formula (I) and the compositions comprising thereof are suitable for protecting seeds of any plant variety which is used in agriculture, in greenhouses, in forests or in horticulture. More particularly, the seed is that of cereals (such as wheat, barley, rye, millet, triticale, and oats), oilseed rape, maize, cotton, soybean, rice, potatoes, sunflower, beans, coffee, peas, beet (e.g. sugar beet and fodder beet), peanut, vegetables (such as tomato, cucumber, onions and lettuce), lawns and ornamental plants. Of particular significance is the treatment of the seed of wheat, soybean, oilseed rape, maize and rice.
The compounds of formula (I) or the compositions comprising thereof can be used for treating transgenic seeds, in particular seeds of plants capable of expressing a protein which acts against pests, herbicidal damage or abiotic stress, thereby increasing the protective effect. Synergistic effects may also occur in interaction with the substances formed by expression.
Application
The compound of formula (I) can be applied as such, or for example in the form of as ready-to-use solutions, emulsions, water- or oil-based suspensions, powders, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts, soluble granules, granules for broadcasting, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural products impregnated with the compound of formula (I), synthetic substances impregnated with the compound of formula (I), fertilizers or microencapsulations in polymeric substances.
Application is accomplished in a customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, spreading-on and the like. It is also possible to deploy the compound of formula (I) by the ultra-low volume method, via a drip irrigation system or drench application, to apply it infurrow or to inject it into the soil stem or trunk. It is further possible to apply the compound of formula (I) by means of a wound seal, paint or other wound dressing.
The effective and plant-compatible amount of the compound of formula (I) which is applied to the plants, plant parts, fruits, seeds or soil will depend on various factors, such as the compound/composition employed, the subject of the treatment (plant, plant part, fruit, seed or soil), the type of treatment (dusting, spraying, seed dressing), the purpose of the treatment (curative and protective), the type of microorganisms, the development stage of the microorganisms, the sensitivity of the microorganisms, the crop growth stage and the environmental conditions.
When the compound of formula (I) is used as a fungicide, the application rates can vary within a relatively wide range, depending on the kind of application. For the treatment of plant parts, such as leaves, the application rate may range from 0.1 to 10 000 g/ha, preferably from 10 to 1000 g/ha, more preferably from 50 to 300 g/ha (in the case of application by watering or dripping, it is even possible to reduce the application rate, especially when inert substrates such as rockwool or perlite are used). For the treatment of seeds, the application rate may range from 0.1 to 200 g per 100 kg of seeds, preferably from 1 to 150 g per 100 kg of seeds, more preferably from 2.5 to 25 g per 100 kg of seeds, even more preferably from 2.5 to 12.5 g per 100 kg of seeds. For the treatment of soil, the application rate may range from 0.1 to 10 000 g/ha, preferably from 1 to 5000 g/ha.
These application rates are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

The exemplary compounds according to the invention as shown in table 1.1 was prepared in analogy with the examples provided above and/or in accordance with the general description of the processes herein disclosed.
The following table 1.1 illustrates in a non-limiting manner examples of compounds according to formula
(I)·
Table 1.1 :
In the above table, measurement of LogP values was performed according to EEC directive 79/831 Annex V.A8 by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) on reversed phase columns with the following methods:
[al LogP value is determined by measurement of LC-UV, in an acidic range, with 0.1 % formic acid in water and acetonitrile as eluent (linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 95% acetonitrile).
[bl LogP value is determined by measurement of LC-UV, in a neutral range, with 0.001 molar ammonium acetate solution in water and acetonitrile as eluent (linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 95% acetonitrile).
[cl LogP value is determined by measurement of LC-UV, in an acidic range, with 0.1 % phosphoric acid and acetonitrile as eluent (linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 95% acetonitrile).
If more than one LogP value is available within the same method, all the values are given and separated by“+”.
Calibration was done with straight-chain alkan2-ones (with 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known LogP values (measurement of LogP values using retention times with linear interpolation between successive alkanones). Lambda-max-values were determined using UV-spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm and the peak values of the chromatographic signals.
NMR-Peak lists
Table A provides the NMR data (1H) of some compounds disclosed in the above tables.
1H-NMR data of selected examples are written in form of 1H-NMR-peak lists. To each signal peak are listed the d-value in ppm and the signal intensity in round brackets. Between the 5-value - signal intensity pairs are semicolons as delimiters.
The peak list of an example has therefore the form:
5i (intensityi); 5å (intensity2); . ; 5, (intensity,); . ; 5n (intensityn)
Intensity of sharp signals correlates with the height of the signals in a printed example of a NMR spectrum in cm and shows the real relations of signal intensities. From broad signals several peaks or the middle of the signal and their relative intensity in comparison to the most intensive signal in the spectrum can be shown.
For calibrating chemical shift for 1H spectra, we use tetramethylsilane and/or the chemical shift of the solvent used, especially in the case of spectra measured in DMSO. Therefore, in NMR peak lists, tetramethylsilane peak can occur but not necessarily.
The 1H-NMR peak lists are similar to classical 1H-NMR prints and contains therefore usually all peaks, which are listed at classical NMR-interpretation.
Additionally they can show like classical 1H-NMR prints signals of solvents, stereoisomers of the target compounds, which are also object of the invention, and/or peaks of impurities.
To show compound signals in the delta-range of solvents and/or water the usual peaks of solvents, for example peaks of DMSO in DMSO-D6 and the peak of water are shown in our 1H-NMR peak lists and have usually on average a high intensity .
The peaks of stereoisomers of the target compounds and/or peaks of impurities have usually on average a lower intensity than the peaks of target compounds (for example with a purity >90%).
Such stereoisomers and/or impurities can be typical for the specific preparation process. Therefore, their peaks can help to recognize the reproduction of our preparation process via“side-products-fingerprints”. An expert, who calculates the peaks of the target compounds with known methods (MestreC, ACD- simulation, but also with empirically evaluated expectation values) can isolate the peaks of the target compounds as needed optionally using additional intensity filters. This isolation would be similar to relevant peak picking at classical 1H-NMR interpretation.
