Substituted furan-2-carboxylic acid anilide having fungicidal activity and its use - Substituted furan-2-carboxylic anilide with fungicidal activity and its use substituted and furan-2-carboxylic acid anilides of the formula -CHo R CH, jL.

Substituted furan-2-carboxylic acid anilides of the formula I are prepared, for example, by acylation in a manner known per se of a compound of the formula 2,63567 R au J-1 CH3 NH-CH-COOCH3 (II) CH3 in which R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, furan- (2) - carboxylic acid, its acid halide, acid anhydride or ester, in some cases also its amide, with or without an inert solvent (optionally halogenated hydrocarbons, ether, DMF and others) in the temperature range 0-180 ° C.

Bacterial and fungal diseases of useful plants depend on two factors. In the first place, the primary aim of crop production is to increase yields and improve quality. However, plants often lose some of their natural resistance to parasites. On the other hand, experience has shown that bacteria and fungi have become resistant to known pesticides on a larger scale over the years.

Thus, there is a great need for microbicides that are tolerated by useful plants and that destroy their immediate parasites.

Examples of useful crops are cereals, maize, rice, vegetables, sugar beet, soybeans, peanuts, fruit trees, ornamentals, but above all vines, hops, cucumbers (cucumber, pumpkin, melons), solanacee and also tomato, tobacco and t , cocoa and natural rubber crops.

It has now surprisingly been found that the compounds of the formula I can prevent or eradicate fungi present in plants or parts of plants (fruits, flowers, foliage, stems, tubers, roots) of such and closely related useful crops, so that subsequently growing parts of plants are also protected against such fungi. The active ingredients are effective against phytopathogenic fungi belonging to the following classes: Ascomycetes (e.g. Erysiphacear); Basidiomycetes, such as, above all, rust fungi;

Fyngi imperfecti; above all, however, Oomycetes such as Phytophtora, Peronaspora, Pseudo-63567 Peronospora, Pythium or Plasmopara belong in particular to the Phycomycetes class. In addition, the compounds of the formula I act systemically.

They can also be used as pickling agents to treat seeds (fruits, tubers, grains) and plant cuttings to protect them against fungal infections and against phytopathogenic fungi present in the soil.

The substituted furan-2-carboxylic acid anilides of the formula I are microbicidal active ingredients which are considerably superior in use compared with customary commercial preparations and known analogs for the same use, as is apparent from the comparative experiments set out below.

2,5-Dimethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid anilide and its corresponding 2'-toluidide known from DE 1 768 686 are such plant fungicides. However, the limits of action of this type of compound are at relatively high dosage levels, as shown by comparative experiments.

DE-A-20 06 471 discloses a large number of furan-3-carbonamides as fungicides and insecticides. Particular emphasis has been placed on their effect on rust fungi. The structurally closest or most potent compounds have been used for comparison. Homologous preparations are also described in DE-A-20 19 535 and 23 23 197 as fungicides.

The compound formulated as a spray powder is applied as a spray porridge to the surface of the soil of 3 week old tomato seedlings "Roter Gnom" planted in pots, so that the concentration at the roots is 0.006% resp. 0.002% active substance (based on soil volume). Care must be taken to ensure that the spray porridge 6 63567 does not come into contact with parts of the plant above the ground. After 48 hours, the treated plants are infected with a spore suspension of the fungus. Fungal infection is evaluated after incubation of infected plants for 5 days at 20 ° C and saturated humidity. The number and size of leaf spots present after this time are considered a measure of the efficacy of the test substances compared to infected but untreated control plants.

Test III

Effect against Pythium debaryanum in Beta vulgaris (sugar beet) a) Effect after soil treatment

The fungus is implanted in sterile oat grains and added to the soil 63567 sand mixture. The soil thus infected is filled into flower pots in which sugar beet seeds are planted. Immediately after sowing, the test preparations formulated as a spray powder are applied as an aqueous suspension to the soil (0.002% of the compound based on the volume of the soil).

The pots are then placed for 2-3 weeks in a greenhouse at 20-24 ° C. The soil is then kept evenly moist by spraying lightly with water. The test is evaluated by determining the growth of sugar beet seedlings and the number of healthy and diseased seedlings, b) Effect after pickling treatment

The fungus is implanted in sterile oat grains and added to the soil-sand mixture. The soil thus infected is filled into flower pots sown with sugar beet seeds pickled with test preparations formulated as a pickling powder (0.1% of the compound by weight of the seed). The sown pots are then kept for 2-3 weeks in a greenhouse at 20-24 ° C. The soil is thus kept evenly moist by spraying lightly with water. Evaluate by determining the growth of sugar beet tadin and the number of healthy and diseased seedlings.

After treatment with active ingredient 1, 1a or 2, more than 85% of the sugar beet seedlings germinated under both experimental conditions a) and b) and had a uniformly healthy appearance. Of the untreated controls, less than 20% sprouted and some had a diseased appearance.

The starting compounds of formula III used to prepare the compounds of formula I can be prepared according to the methods described in Journal of Organic Chemistry, 30, p. 4101 (1965), Tetrahedron 1967, p. 487 or p. 493.

The compounds of general formula I have an asymmetric carbon atom * C in their propionic acid barrier chain and can be divided into optical antipodes by conventional methods. The enantiomeric D-form has a stronger microbicidal effect, so compounds having the D-configuration are preferred as active ingredients. Form D has a negative rotation angle in ethanol or acetone.

To prepare pure D-antipodes of the compounds of general formula I, the optical 9 63567 D-configuration of the ester of formula II is furanoylated as described above.

In addition to optical isomerism, there is an atrial isomer of R = CH 2 relative to the phenyl axis due to the presence of a di-ortho substitution and both space-consuming side chains in the aniline nitrogen preventing rotation around the phenyl-N-single bond. This particular substituent system prevents free rotation about the molecular axis as well as the planar system and always results in the formation of atropic isanes with substituents, phenyl ring and nitrogen side chains located vertically relative to each other.

If no synthesis is performed to isolate the pure isomers, the following compound 2 is obtained as a mixture of four isomers. However, the more favorable fungicidal effect of the enantiomeric Form D (compared to the D, L form and L form) remains unchanged and is not significantly affected by the atropian isaner.

The starting D-form of the ether of formula II is prepared, for example, by reacting a racemic compound of the formula R CH-) -VP * 3 NH -CH -COOH (III) (R-H or CH3) in a manner known per se with an N-containing optically with an active base such as α-phenylethylamine to the corresponding salt and fractionally crystallizing the salt and then liberating the acid of formula III enriched with an optical D-antipode and optionally repeating (also multiplying) the salt formation, first crystallizing and liberating the α-anilinopropionic acid of formula III pure Form D, from which the desired ester can then be prepared in a conventional manner, e.g. in the presence of HCl or H 2 SO 4 with methanol.
