Description
SPECIFICATION
Hydroquinone Diethers Possessing Acaricide Activity
This invention relates to acaricide compounds and in particular to hydroquinone diethers, their preparation, their use as acaricides and to acaricide compositions containing them.
Many products are known to be endowed with an acaricide activity, some being active on the acari eggs, others being effective against neanides or adult acari (mites). The known acaricides belong to various different chemical classes, e.g. organo-phosphoric compounds, haloaromatic compounds, carbamates and metal-organic compounds. Many of the known acaricide compounds are disclosed in "Basis for Selectivity of Acaricides", J. C. Street, Chapter VIII, page 1 55, and in "Pesticide Selectivity", Dekkerlnc. New York (1975).
Recently acaricide compounds belonging to the class of alkoxy-diphenyl ethers have been disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 4 061 683 and acaricide compounds which are cyclopropancarboxylates have been disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 3 995 054.
In spite of the great variety of known acaricide compounds, the acari pest still remains a serious problem because of the damage they inflict upon plants since control of the pests is hampered by the fact that in the course of one season they reproduce several generations, thus facilitating the evolution of acari resistant to the acaricide products used.
According to the present invention there is provided a compound of the general formula:
in which
R represents an alkyl group having from 8 to ii carbon atoms,
R' represents a hydrogen atom or a
group, and
R2 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms or a phenyl group.
The compounds of formula (I) are endowed with a high acaricide activity and are particularly effective against mite eggs in preventing hatching.
The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared according to reactions analogous to those known in the standard procedures of organic chemistry.
A suitable starting material for the synthesis is a monoalkyl ether of hydroquinone of the formula:
which may be prepared from hydroquinone, as described, for example, in "Journal of Pharmaceutical
Society of Japan", No. 74, page 875 (1954) (Chemical Abstracts 59, 9543 d).
It is possible to prepare the ethers of formula (I) from the compounds of formula (II) by various routes employing reactions common to the standard procedures of organic chemistry. According to one scheme the monoether (II) is converted to the corresponding alkaline salt (III) by treatment with alkaline bases:
in which Ms represents a metal cation.
The alkaline salt (III) is then reacted with an an alkynyl halide or tosylate (p-toluene-sulphonate) of formula: Z-(CH2)3-C=-CH (IV) in which Z represents Cl, Br or tosyl, to yield a compound of formula:
which is then salified on the triple bond utilizing a strong base, e.g. butyl-lithium,
The compounds of formula (I) in which R' is a hydrogen atom are then obtained by condensing the salt (VI) with formaldehyde. The compounds of formula (I) in which R' is a
group are readily obtained by condensing the compounds of formula (I) in which R1 is a hydrogen atom with an acyl-halide of the formula:
in which Z' is Cl or Br.
An alternative procedure for the preparation of the intermediates of formula (Vl) comprises reacting the alkaline salt (Ill) with 1,1,1 ,5-tetrachloropentane (CCI3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2Cl) in an inert solvent and in the presence of an excess of a strong base to yield a compound of the formula:
which is then salified by treatment with butyl-lithium in an inert solvent at low temperature.
The above described reaction scheme is one of a number of possible synthesis methods for preparing compounds of formula (I). In an alternative method, the compounds of the formula:
are prepared, e.g. using similar techniques to those described above.
The compounds of formula (IX) are treated with alkaline bases to yield the corresponding alkaline salts which are then condensed with halo derivatives or tosylates of the formula: R-Z (X) in which Z represents halogen or tosyl.
The compounds of formula (I) are endowed with a high acaricide activity and are especially active against mite eggs and also possess a certain activity against adult mites. Moreover, the compounds of formula (I) are endowed with a high residual activity, which is particularly desirable for ovicide compounds, and a very low toxicity for warm-blooded animals and fish, and are characterised by the absence of phytotoxicity.
The main mite-pests of a considerable economical importance due to the damage they inflict upon plants and because of their wide diffusion in all cultivated areas, belong mainly to the
Tetranychidae family, genera: Tetranychus rT. urticae, T. telarius, T. pacificus, etc.), Panonychus (P.
ulmi, P. citri, etc.), Bryobia (B. preatiosa) and Oligonychus. Other species harmful to cultivations are present for instance in the Eriophydae families (genera:Aceria, Eriophyes, Phyllocoptes, Phyllocoptruta,
Vasates, etc.), Tarsonemidae (genus: Hemitarsonemus) and Tenuipalpidae.
The acaricide compounds of formula (I) may usefully be used to combat mites alone or in the form of suitable compositions or formulations. In the compositions or formulations, in addition to one or more compounds of formula (I) as an active ingredient, suitable vehicles, solid or liquid, and additives such as surfactants, wetting agents, fixing agents and dispersants may be present.
The compounds may be formulated either as granules or powders, wettable powders, pastes, emulsions, emulsifiable concentrates or solutions according to techniques well known in the preparation of formulations.
It is possible, if required by particular purposes, e.g. the necessity to expand the range of action of the compounds or particular environment conditions, to include other active substances, e.g.
insecticides and/or acaricides, in the compositions. Examples of active ingredients which may be included in such compositions include organo-phosphorous compounds, pyrethroids, nitrophenols, formamidines, ureic derivatives, carbamates, chlorinated hydrocarbons and organo-metal compounds.
The active ingredient in the acaricide composition of the invention may be present in quantities in the range 0.5 to 90% by weight depending on the type of composition and on the particular treatment for which it is used. The dosage rate of the compositions in the area to be protected against mite infestation, depends on various factors, e.g. the type of composition or formulation, the type of application, the nature and degree of the infestation, the type of cultivation to be protected, the climatic and environmental conditions. Generally, the active ingredient must be distributed in amounts of from 0.1 and 3 Kg/ha.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
Example 1
Preparation of 6-(4-decyloxy-phenoxy)-2-hexinyl Alcohol (Compound No. 1)
A) Preparation of 5-(4-decyloxy-phenoxy)-1 -pentyne
A solution of 5 g of 4-decyloxy-phenol in 10 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) was dripped into a suspension of 1.28 g of finely divided KOH in 50 ml of DMF, maintaining the temperature at about 1 OOC. The reaction mixture was maintained under constant stirring at this temperature for 1 hour, and was then cooled to OOC. 4.4 g of tosylate (p-toluene-sulphonate) of 4-pentinyl alcohol (CH=-C-CH2- CH2-CH2-OH) in 10 ml of DMF were then added to the reaction mixture.On completion of the addition, the temperature was allowed to spontaneously rise to room temperature and the reaction mixture was maintained under stirring overnight, after which it was poured into water and ice and, finally, extracted with ethyl ether. The ethereal phase, after separation, was washed with a 5% NaOH solution and then with water until attaining a neutral pH. After drying the solvent was eliminated under reduced pressure to yield 5.5 g of the desired product.

B) 9 g of the alkyne obtained as described above were dissolved in 40 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofurane (THF). The solution was cooled to between5 and OOC and then additioned with 1 7.5 ml of a 1.6 M solution of lithiumbutyl in hexane, under stirring and in a nitrogen atmosphere. After a few minutes the solution was additioned with 0.9 g of finely ground anhydrous formaldehyde. The reaction mixture was heated to 600C for 3 hours, then poured into water and ice and extracted with ethyl ether. After drying the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The raw product thus obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl ether in the ratio 2:1).
7 g of 6-(4-decyloxy-phenoxy)-2-hexynyl alcohol were obtained exhibiting a melting point of 660C.

1 g of 6-(4-decyloxy-phenoxy)-2-hexynyl alcohol (obtained as described in Example 1) was dissolved in 10 ml of anhydrous benzene containing 0.4 ml of pyridine. 0.3 g of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride was added to the solution and the reaction mixture was subjected to stirring for 4 hours at room temperature, after which it was poured into water and ice.
The organic phase was separated, washed with water, diluted with hydrochloric acid and a saturated bicarbonate solution and finally dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed by distillation at reduced pressure and the residue purified by chromatography on a silica gel column, thereby yielding 1 g of the desired product as a thick oil.

Example 4
Determination of the Acaricide Activity
For the evaluation of the acaricide activity two species of mites (Tetranychus urticae and
Panonychus ulmi) were considered as being particularly representative and significant for the extent of damage inflicted to cultivations and for their wide diffusion.
(1) Determination of the activity against Tetranychus urticae (eggs)
Foliar discs obtained from bean leaves were infested with mite eggs and subsequently treated by besprinkling with a water-acetone solution of the product under examination. The percentage of unhatched eggs was evaluated after 7 days from the day of treatment in comparison with the percentage of unhatched untreated eggs in a control sample.
(2) Determination of activity against Panonychus ulmi (eggs)
Foliar discs, obtained from apple leaves, were infested with summer eggs of mites, and subsequently treated by besprinkling with a water-acetone solution of the product under examination.
The percentage of unhatched eggs was evaluated after 10 days from the date of treatment in comparison with the percentage of unhatched untreated eggs in a control sample.
For comparative purposes the acaricide activity of the following compounds was evaluated:
Compound A: I -[(pent-4-yn- 1 -yl)-oxy]-4-phenoxy-benzene of formula:
disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 061 683.
Compound B: hexadecyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate of the formula:
disclosed in United States Patent Specification No. 3 995 054.
The acaricide activity data of compounds according to the present invention and of the comparison compounds A and B at various dosage rates have been reported in the following Table 1 according to the following scale:
5=100% of unhatched mite eggs 4=8099% of unhatched mite eggs 3=6079% of unhatched mite eggs 2=4059% of unhatched mite eggs 1=2039% of unhatched mite eggs 0=0-1 9% of unhatched mite eggs.

Determination of the Persistence of Acaricide Activity
The compounds of the present invention possess prolonged acaricide activity which is a particularly desirable property for ovicide compounds. Mites reproduce with several generations during the growing season and the high persistence of activity of the compounds of the invention reduces the number of acaricide treatments required for effective control.
The persistence of acaricide activity has been determined according to the following procedure.
Potted apple trees, 3 years old, were uniformly sprayed with water-acetone disperions (containing a wetting agent) of the products under test (3 plants each formulation). After drying, the plants were transferred into a greenhouse and maintained there for the period of the test. At time intervals from the treatment, three leaves were picked from each plant and from every leaf a disc (25 mm diameter) was cut off, corresponding to nine discs per treatment. The foliar discs were infested for egg-laying with adult mites deriving from a field-collected resistant strain. After 24 hours the adult mites were removed and the foliar discs, infested with about a hundred eggs each, were kept in a conditioned room at 24+1 "C and 65+5% relative humidity for about 10 days (till hatching).
A set of plants was treated with a water-acetone solution and a wetting agent, without any active compound, as a control, and subjected to the above described test. Table 2 reports the data relative to compounds of the invention and to the comparison compounds A and B (see Example 4).
The acaricide activity is expressed in Table 2 according to the same scale used for the data in
Table 1.
