31224/2 -ηρτΐ7-»ρρικοκ-1 ,1O- »na»"tB- 1 , 7, 3-»op κηa-1 onaam ivm-iVim. ΐκ»τ-6,2 l*M0 lio3Qr-3»7»il-rlffiothyi^lO,ll~epQxy*dodeea«* 2,6-diene and derivatives thereof and their preparation SPARAMEDICA AO C/ 29443 - ■ · \ The present invention is concerned with epoxy compounds of the general formula · in which A plus B and C plus D each signify an oxygen bridge, or A plus B signifies a carbon- carbo bond and C plus D signifies an oxygen bridge, or A plus B signifies an oxygen bridge and C plus D signifies a carbon-carbon bond, with the proviso, that in each case the larges groups on the 2- and 3-position carbon atoms have cis/trans, cis or trans configuration and the largest groups on the 6- and 7-position carbon atoms have cis configuration, and with a process for the manufacture thereof.
In accordance with the process of the invention, pound of the formula is subjected to an allylic rearrangement by reaction with methanol in the presence of an acid, whereupon the resulting ether is converted into an epoxide, or %&s-b a compound of the formula II is converted into a primary halide with allylic rearrangement and V · an epoxide and hydrolysed in any sequence, and the resulting primary alcohol is reacted with a methyl halide and that, if desired, a mixture of 6,7- and 10,11-epoxy compounds is split up.
The starting compounds of formula II can be prepared, for example, by reacting cis-geranylacetone with acetylene in the presence of sodium amide in liquid ammonia and partially hydrogenating the triply unsaturated compound obtained with the help of a partially inactivated catalyst, for example a quinoline-deactivated lead/palladium catalyst* When the cis-nerolidol obtained is reacted with methanol in the presence of an acid, there is obtained with allylic rearrangement the desired methyl ether, which by treatment with a peracid or a mixture of li-bromosuccinimide and water , can be concerted (in the latter case via the resulting bromhydrin) into an epoxide.
It is advantageous to work in the cold, especially at a temperature in the range of from 0° to 20°0* Suitable acids include, for example, sulfuric acid and p-toluenesulfonlc acid. The presence of a solvent which is immiscible with the reaotion mixture can be of advantage.
In addition to N-bromosuccinlmide/water, there can be employed as oxidation agent organic peracids such as peracetic acid, perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid' or perphthallc acid.
The cis-nerolidol obtained can also be halogenated with allylic rearrangement, the halogenide obtained reacted with an alkali metal methylate and the product converted into an epoxide by means of peracid treatment or N-bromosuccinimide/ •water treatment as mentioned 'above* ' As halogenating' agent* th·ere Is preferabl employed a phosphorus halide* especially phosphorus tribroraide.- The reaction of the halogenating agent with the cis-nerolidol is carried out in the cold 1·β· especially at a temperature of from -10° to +5° C.
The above obtained halogenide can however also be converted to an ester b reaction . with an alkali metal alkanoate* especially with an alkali metal salt of a lower alkanoic acid having 1-6 carbon atoms, such j as for example sodium acetate* and the ester may either be converted to an epoxide by treatment with a peracid or by treatment with a mixture of N-bromosuccini-mide and water followed by conversion of the resulting bromhydrin, and then hydrolysed to the corresponding alcohol, or first hydrolysed and' then epoxldise'd by treatment with a peracid.
In either case, the alcohol obtained is thereafter methylated to form the desired epoxy compound of formula I· The methylation is suitabl carried out at room temperature in the presence of a base in an inert solvent, preferably in the presence of sodium hydride in dioxane. Of the methylhalides suitable as methylating agent, methyl iodide is preferred.
The epoxidation is convenientl carried out by dissolving the respective compound in an inert Solvent, especially a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride or chloroform, and treating the solution at a temperature between 0°C and room temperature with an above mentioned peracid. Alternatively* the respective compound may be suspended i water and displaced with an amount of an inert solvent, e.g. dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane, such that a homogenous concentrated solution results, Ib-bromosuccinimide being added portionwise to this solution at a temperature of from 0 to room temperature. The resulting bromhydrin can be readily converted to the epoxide by reaction with alkali, particularly sodium methylate in methanol.
The particular advantage of the N-brontosuecinimide method lies in the fact that only the terminal double bond is oxidised, whereas epoxidation with organic peracids (if 1 mole of peracid is used) results instead in a mixture of 6,7- and 10,11-epoxides. If one reacts 2 moles of peracid with 1 mole of the respective compound the 6,7»10,ll-diepoxide is obtained.
The compounds of formula I are suitable for the control of pests . In contrast ; — ;— to most of the pest-control agents known hitherto, which kill, cripple or drive away the animals as contact- or feed-poisons, the compounds of formula I obtainable by the process of the invention interfere with the hormonal system of the animal organism. In insects the trans ormation into,for example , the imago is disturbed. The sequence of generations is interrupted and the animals are indirectly killed. The compounds are practically non-toxic to vertebrates, the toxicity of the compounds of formula I in vertebrates being over 1C00 mg/kg body weight. Moreover, the new compounds are readily degraded and the risk of accumulation is therefore excluded. The compounds can therefore unhesitatingly be employed for the control of pests in animals, plants, provisions and textiles. ^ii- 31224/2 V The compounds are especially suitable for the control of invertebrate animals. As is more precisely set out hereinafter, in general an active substance concentration of 0.01 to 0.1$¾ is already sufficient to ensure the desired effect.
The active substances can, for example, be employed in the form of emulsions, suspensions, dusting agents, solutions or aerosols. In special cases, the matter which is to be protected (e.g. foodstuffs, seeds or textiles) can also be directly impregnated with the active substance in question or with a solution of the active substance.
The active substance can, moreover, also be employed in a form which only releases the active substance by the action of external influences (e.g. in contact with moisture) or only in the animal body itself. It is also possible to use the compounds of formula I in admixture with other known pest-control agents.
Compounds closely related to those encompassed by formula I above are known from e.g. Life Sciences 23 3 (1965). The epoxy farnesyl derivatives disclosed therein are, however, of inferior activity in the Tenebrio molitor test when compaued with instantly claimed compounds.
