Description
HERBICIDALLY ACTIVE AMIDES OF TRICLOPYR AND FLUROXYPYR
The present invention relates to amino acid derivatives of 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetic acid (having the common name triclopyr) and 4-amino-3-,5dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridyloxyacetic acid (having the common name fluroxypyr) to processes for their preparation, herbicidal compositions containing them, and to methods for their use.
Triclopyr (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetic acid) is a known broad-leaved herbicide having the formula
Fluroxypyr (4-amino-3-,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2pyridyloxyacetic acid) is also a known broad-leaved herbicide having the formula
Although safe to wheat, fluroxypyr and triclopyr are phytotoxic to various other commercially important crops (e.g., barley, cotton, rape, soya and sugar beet) at doses normally required to control broad-leaved weeds. The free forms of these herbicides are therefore unsuited to use with these crops.
EP-A-0247721 (The Dow Chemical Company) discloses various polyol esters of triclopyr which display reduced phytotoxicity to triclopyr-sensitive crops compared to triclopyr itself.
It has now surprisingly been found that certain amide derivatives of triclopyr and fluroxypyr show substantially reduced phytotoxicity, as compared with triclopyr and fluroxypyr themselves.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a compound of the general formula:
I R1-0-CH2-CO-NH-CR2-C02R3 wherein R1 is a group of the formula:
R2 is H, CH3 CH(CH3)2 CH2CH(CH3)2, CH(CH3)CH2CH31 CH2CH2SCH3, CH2C6H5, CHCOR3, or CH2CH2CoR3 and each R3 independently is H, C1-C6 alkyl or NH2.
The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the foregoing compounds which process comprises reacting triclopyr or fluroxypyr, or a derivative thereof with an amino acid of the formula
NH2-CR2-02R3 or a derivative thereof wherein R2 and R3 are as defined above.
Also provided is a herbicidal composition comprising a compound of the present invention with an agricultural adjuvant or carrier or an additional active ingredient.
Advantageously, the active substances according to the invention or mixtures thereof are used in the form of preparations, for example, powders, sprayable agents, granulates, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with the addition of liquid and/or solid carriers or diluents and, if desired, wetting agents, adhesion-promoting agents, emulsifiers and/or dispersing agents, but preferably in the form of emulsions and emulsifiable concentrates.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example, water, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as, for example, benzene, toluene and xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, and also mineral oil fractions.
Suitable solid carriers are, for example, mineral earths, for example, tonsil, silica gel, talcum, kaolin, attaclay, limestone, silica acid and vegetable products, for example, meals.
The preparation advantageously includes a surfaceactive substance(s). Suitable surface-active substances are, for example, calcium ligninsulphonate, polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ethers, naphthalenesulphonic acids and salts thereof, phenolsulphonic acids and salts thereof, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulphates and substituted benzenesulphonic acids and salts thereof.
The proportion of the active substance(s) in the various preparations may vary within wide limits. For example, the preparations may contain from 5 to 95 percent by weight of active substances, from 95 to 5 percent by weight of liquid or solid carriers and, if desired, up to 20 percent by weight of surface-active substances.
The present invention further provides a method for controlling or preventing growth of weeds, which method comprises applying to the weeds or to a locus in which it is desired to prevent weed growth a compound or composition of the present invention.
Preferably in the latter method the weeds are broadleaved weeds such as Coffee weed, Cocklebur, Jimson weed,
Lambsquarters, Morning Glory, Pigweed, Velvet-leaf,
Cleavers, Chickweed, or Wild Buckwheat.
Suitably in said method the compound is applied in a total amount of from 0.2 to 2 kg/ha, preferably from 0.5 to 1.2 kg/ha.
In the method of the present invention the said compound may be applied to a crop area or an area adjacent to a crop area. The crop area may for example be a cotton, oilseed rape, sugar beet or soya bean area.
The compounds or preparations may be applied in customary manner, for example, using water as carrier in quantities of spraying liquor of from 100 to 1000 litres/ha. It is possible to use the agents in the socalled low volume and ultra low volume processes, and also to apply them in the form of so-called micro-granules.
The particular nature of the present invention will readily be understood from the following non-limiting
Examples, in which "m.p." denotes "melting point".
General method of Dreparation of amides of Triclopvr and Fluroxvpvr in accordance with the invention
A solution of 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (3.24 g, 0.02 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of triclopyr or fluroxypyr as appropriate (0.02 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) under nitrogen.
The resulting mixture was stirred for a further 60 minutes.
An amino acid or amino acid ester (0.02 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was then added, and the mixture stirred for a further 45 minutes, and allowed to stand overnight.
The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue partitioned between methylene chloride (50 ml) and water (20 ml).
The organic layer was washed with water (2 x 50 ml) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate. Removal of the solvent and crystallisation from a suitable medium furnished pure amides in good yields.
Example 1
In accordance with the above general method, an amide was prepared of fluroxypyr and glycine methyl ester.
Examples 3 to 10 and 16 to 21
By a generally analogous method, further amides of triclopyr and fluroxypyr were prepared, utilising the starting materials and purification conditions noted in
Table 1. The physical properties of the resulting compound are also given in Table 1.
Examples 11 to 15
The ester obtained in Example 1 (1.5g) was stirred with aqueous sodium hydroxide (25 ml, 1M) and then heated on a steam bath for two minutes, in order to hydrolyse the methyl ester. The resulting solution was cooled immediately in an ice bath, neutralised with dilute HCl, and extracted with diethyl ether. The solvent was removed, followed by recrystallisation from an appropriate solvent to give N-(((4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2pyridinyl)oxy)acetyl)-glycine in good yield and purity.
The resulting compound was analysed by proton NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3 to verify its structure, and elemental analysis and melting point determinations were made. The results are shown in Table 1. The compounds of
Examples 12 to 15 were prepared by an analogous method form the compounds of Examples 2, 4, 8, and 10.

Post emergent herbicide activity was assessed against a key weed species (Cleavers, Gallium aparine) and against an indicator broad leaf crop (field bean, Vicia faba).
Method
Bean and Cleaver seeds were sown in rows in trays and allowed to germinate and grow untreated to a height of about 10 cm. Plants were then sprayed with an aqueous solution or suspension of the respective amides or base compound at an initial concentration of 4000 mg litre~ followed by a sequence of 2-fold serial dilutions as necessary.- Phytotoxicity was evaluated at 14 days after treatment by visual assessment of treated plants compared to untreated plants grown under identical conditions. A scale of 0-100 was used with 0 representing no visible difference from the untreated plants and 100 indicating death of all plants. By using a series of concentrations a growth reduction factor GR50 was calculated for Cleavers, indicative of the concentration of chemical achieving 50% of growth regulation, and GR10 for beans. The results are shown in Table 2.

The improved ratio of B/C in Table 2 indicates an improved selectivity to compounds of this invention, as compared with fluroxypyr.
