In processes (a-e) described above, R1-R9 are as defined under formula In the processes described, it is possible, if necessary, to use both inorganic and organic bases, for example the following: the hydroxides oxides or carbonates of lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium strontium and barium or, alternatively, hydrides, for example sodium hydride, and alcoholates, for example potassium ter . -butanolate , and tertiary amines, such as triethylamine , triethylenediamine or pyridine Solvents and diluents that may be used as reaction media in conformity with the particular reaction conditions are, for example, the following: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, - 10 - petroleum ether; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzene , methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene ; ethers and ethereal compounds, such as dialkyl ethers (diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert. -butyl methyl ether etc.), an^.sole, dioxane , tetrahydrofuran ; nitriles, such as aceto-nitrile, propionitrile ; N ,N-dialkylated amides, such as dimethyl-formamide; and also mixtures of such solvents with one another.
The pyrimidine derivatives of formula II in which Y is halogen can be prepared according to known methods (see D.J. Brown, The Pyrimidines, Interscience Publishers, 1962).
An often-used method of synthesis consists in the condensation of urea with B-diketones to form 2-hydroxypyrimidines which are subsequently reacted to form 2-halopyrimidines as follows: There may be used as halogenating agents especially phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus oxybromide.
Another possible method of obtaining the 2-halopyrimidines of formula. II is to prepare them by way of the 2-aminopyrimidines . The 2-amino-pyrimidines are obtained by known methods (see D.J. Brown, The Pyrimidines, Interscience Publishers, 1962), then diazotised, and converted by the Sandmeyer process into the halopyrimidines . The 2-aminopyrimidines are obtained, for example, by condensing β-diketones with guanidine in the following manner. - 1 1 - The pyrimidine derivatives of formula II in which Y is S02-Ci~Cualkyl or S02aryl are obtained according to known methods by oxidising the corresponding alkyl or aryl mercaptopyrimidines , whose preparation is likewise known (see D.J. Brown, The Pyrimidines, Interscience Publishers, 1962) .
Apart from the condensation of the corresponding diketones as described above, pyrimidines of formula II in which the radical R3 is haloalkyl can also be obtained by reacting the hydroxyalkyl derivatives with phosphorus halide or thionyl halide in the presence of tertiary bases in inert solvents.
Some of the intermediates of formula II in which Y is halogen or SO2-R6 and R6 is Ci-Ci»alkyl or aryl and R2 and R3 are as defined under formula I, are known.
The following groups of compounds of formula II are novel: 1. Compounds wherein R∑ is Ci-Csalkyl or. Ci-Csalkyl substituted by the radical OR5 or by the radical SR5 ; R3 is Ci-Ci,alkyl substituted by halogen, cyano or by the radical OR5 or by the radical SR5; R5 is hydrogen, Ci-Csalkyl, C3-Csalkenyl , C3-Csalkynyl or the radical (CH2 )n~X-Ci-C3alkyl ; X is oxygen or sulfur; n is 1 to 3; Y is halogen, preferably chlorine, or SO2R6; and R6 is Ci-Ci»alkyl or aryl, with the exception of the compounds 2-chloro-4-methyl-6-methoxymethylpyrimidine and 2-chloro-4-methyl-6-trichloromethylpyrimidine . 2.

The hydrazine derivatives of formula III are known or can be prepared by methods known to the person skilled in the art.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the compounds of formula I hav^, for practical field application purposes, a very advantageous biocidal spectrum for the control of phytopathogenic microorganisms, especially fungi. They have very advantageous curative, preventive and, in particular, systemic properties, and can be used for protecting numerous cultivated plants. With the compounds of formula I it is possible to inhibit or destroy the pests which occur in plants or in parts of plants (fruit, blossoms, leaves, stems, tubers, roots) in different crops of useful plants, while at the same time the parts of plants which grow later are also protected, for example, from attack by phytopathogenic microorganisms.
The compounds of formula I are effective, for example, against the phytopathogenic fungi belonging to the following classes: Fungi imperfecti (especially Botrytis, and also Pyricularia, Helminthosporium, Fusarium, Septoria, Cercospora, Alternaria) ; and Basidiomycetes (e.g. Rhizoctonia, Hemileia, Puccinia) . They are also effective against the Ascomycetes class (e.g. Venturia and Erysiphe, Podosphaera, Monilinia, Uncinula) and the Oomycetes class (e.g. Phytophthora , Pythium, Plasmopara) . The compounds of formula I can also be used as dressing agents for protecting seeds (fruit, tubers, grains) and plant cuttings against fungus infections as well as against phytopathogenic fungi which occur in the soil. In addition, compounds of formula I are effective against insect pests, for example against pests on cereals, especially rice.
The invention also relates to compositions containing as active ingredient compounds of formula I, especially plant-protecting compositions, and to their use in the agricultural sector or related fields . - 13 - The present invention further embraces the preparation of those compositions, which comprises homogeneously mixing the active ingredient with one or more compounds or groups of compounds described herein. The invention furthermore relates to a method of treating plants, which comprises applying thereto the novel compounds of formula I or the novel compositions .
Target crops to be protected within the scope of the present invention comprise e.g. the following species of plants: cereals (wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice, maize, sorghum and related crops); beet (sugar beet and fodder beet); pomes, drupes and soft fruit (apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries); leguminous plants (beans, lentils, peas, soybeans); oil plants (rape, mustard, poppy, olives, sunflowers, coconut, castor oil plants, cocoa beans, groundnuts); cucumber plants (cucumber, marrows, melons); fibre plants (cotton, flax, hemp, jute); citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mandarins); vegetables (spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, paprika); lauraceae (avocados, cinnamon, camphor), or plants such as tobacco, nuts, coffee, sugar cane, tea, pepper, vines, hops, bananas and natural rubber plants, as well as ornamentals.
The compounds of formula I are normally applied in the form of compositions and can be applied to the crop area or plant to be treated, simultaneously or in succession, with further compounds. These compoun can be fertilisers or micronutrient donors or other preparations that influence plant growth. They can also be selective herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, molluscicides or mixtures of several of these preparations, if desired together with further carriers, surfactants or application-promoting adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation.
Suitable carriers and adjuvants can be solid or liquid and correspond to the substances ordinarily employed in formulation technology, e.g. natural or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, thickeners, binders or fertilisers. - 14 - A preferred method of applying a compound of formula I , or an agro-chemical composition which contains at least one of said compounds, is foliar application. The number of applications and the rate of application depend on the risk of infestation by the corresponding pathogen. However, the compounds of formula I can also penetrate the plant through the roots via the soil (systemic action) if the locus of the plant is impregnated with a liquid formulation, or if the compounds are applied in solid form to the soil, e.g. in granular form (soil application). In paddy rice crops, such granulates may be applied in metered amounts to the flooded rice field. The compounds of formula I may, however, also be applied to seeds (coating) by impregnating the seeds either with a liquid formulation containing the active ingredient, or coating them with a solid formulation.
The compounds of formula I are used in unmodified form or, preferably, together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation, and are for this purpose advantageously formulated in known manner e.g. into emulsifiable concentrates, coatable pastes, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations in e.g. polymer substances. As with the nature of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering, coating or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances. Advantageous rates of application are normally from 50 g to 5 kg of active ingredient (a.i.) per hectare, preferably from 100 g to 2 kg a.i. /ha, most preferably from 200 g to 600 g a.i. /ha.
The formulations, i.e. the compositions, preparations or mixtures containing the compound (active ingredient) of formula I and, where appropriate, a solid or liquid adjuvant, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the active ingredients with extenders, e.g. solvents, solid carriers and, where appropriate, surface-active compounds (surfactants). - 15 - Suitable solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohols and glycols and their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, ketones such as cyclo-hexanone, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone , dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide , as well as vegetable oils or epoxidised vegetable oils, such as epoxidised coconut oil or soybean oi or water.
The solid carriers used e.g. for dusts and dispersible powders, are normally natural mineral fillers such as calcite, talcum, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. In order to improve the physical properties it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are, for example, calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of pregranulated materials of inorganic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverised plant residues .
Depending on the nature of the compound of formula I to be formulated, suitable surface-active compounds are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood as comprising mixtures of surfactants.
Both so-called water-soluble soaps and also water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds are suitable anionic surfactants.
Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (Cio-C22)» e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic - 16 - acid or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil. Mention may also be made of fatty acid methyllaurin salts.
More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially alkanesulfonates , fatty alcohol sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylsulfonates .
The fatty alcohol sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and contain a Ce-C22-alkyl radical which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecylsulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfated and sulfonated fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutyl-naphthalenesulfonic acid, or of a condensate of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde.
Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide.
Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols , said derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.
Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediaminopolyprop-ylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon - 17 - atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.
Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenolp ly-ethoxyethanols , castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene / polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethyleneethanol , polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol .
Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.
Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent , at least one Ce-C22alkyl radical and, as further substituents , unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates , e.g. stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ammonium bromide.
Further surfactants customarily employed in the art of formulation are known to the person skilled in the art or can be taken from the relevant specialist literature.
The agrochemical compositions usually contain 0.1 to 99 % by weight, preferably 0.1 to 95 % by weight, of a compound of formula I, 99.9 to 1 % by weight, preferably 99.9 to 5 % by weight, of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and 0 to 25 % by weight, preferably 0.1 to 25 % by weight, of a surfactant .
Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.
The compositions may also contain further auxiliaries such as stabilisers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers as well as fertilisers or other active ingredients for obtaining special effects. - 18 - The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention in more deta without limiting it. 1.

Evaluation of the fungus attack is made after the infected plants have been incubated for 5 days at 90-100 % relative humidity and 20°C. b) Systemic action After a cultivation period of 3 weeks, tomato plants are watered with a spray mixture ( 0. 002 % active ingredient based on the volume of the soil) prepared from a wettable powder formulation of the test compound. Care is taken that the spray mixture does not come into contact with the parts of the plants above the soil. The treated plants are infected 48 hours later with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. Evaluation of the fungus attack is made after the infected plants have been incubated for 5 days at 90-100 % relative humidity and 20°C.
Compounds of the Tables exhibit good activity against Phytophthora (attack: less than 20 %) . For example, compounds 1 . 104 , 1 . 122 , 4. 31 and 4. 98 reduce Phytophthora attack to 0 to 10 %. On the other hand, Phytophthora attack is 100 % on untreated and infected control plants.
