Description

  • The present invention relates to novel pesticides, to several processes for preparation thereof and to the use thereof as active ingredients, especially the use thereof as insecticides and/or acaricides.
  • Some 4-amino-1,2,3-benzoxathiazine derivatives are described in the literature. 4-Amino-1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide (CAS Registry No.: 129661-85-4) is described in Heterocycles, Vol. 31, 4, 577-579 (1990) and 4-amino-5-methoxy-N-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl)-1,2,3-benzoxa-thiazine 2,2-dioxide (CAS Registry No.: 929022-83-3) in WO 2007/030582. Neither publication reports insecticidal, acaricidal or nematicidal action.
  • The literature likewise already states that the action of various active ingredients can be enhanced by adding further compositions, including ammonium salts. These are, however, detergent salts (e.g. WO 95/017817) or salts with relatively long alkyl and/or aryl substituents, which have permeabilizing action or increase the solubility of the active ingredient (e.g. EP-A 0 453 086, EP-A 0 664 081, FR-A 2 600 494, U.S. Pat. No. 4,844,734, U.S. Pat. No. 5,462,912, U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,937, US-A 03/0224939, US-A 05/0009880, US-A 05/0096386). Moreover, the prior art describes the effect only for particular active ingredients and/or particular applications of the corresponding compositions. In other cases again, the salts are those of sulphonic acids, in which the acids themselves have a paralysing effect on insects (U.S. Pat. No. 2,842,476). An enhancement of action, for example by ammonium sulphate, has also been described, for example, for the herbicides glyphosate and phosphinothricin (U.S. Pat. No. 6,645,914, EP-A2 0 036 106). The use of ammonium sulphate as a formulating assistant has likewise been described for particular active ingredients and applications (WO 92/16108), but serves there to stabilize the formulation, not to enhance the action. In addition, combinations of ammonium salts with active insecticidal ingredients are described in WO 07/068,356, WO 07/068,428, WO 07/068,355, WO 07/068,357, and WO 07/068,350. Explicit reference is hereby made to these publications.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide aminobenzoxathiazine derivatives which can be used as insecticides and/or acaricides, especially with a satisfactory insecticidal and/or acaricidal action against animal pests, against a broad spectrum of animal pests, with a high selectivity and good compatibility in useful plant crops, and which can be used in combination with further compositions for improving efficacy, especially against insects and spider mites which are difficult to control.

  • In the context of these embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to combine the individual general, preferred, more preferred, even more preferred and especially preferred definitions for the substituents R1 to R6 with one another as desired. This means that the present invention encompasses compounds of the general formula (I) in which, for example, the substituent R1 has a preferred definition and the substituents R5 and R6 have the general definition, or else, for example, the substituent R2 has a preferred definition, the substituent R3 has a more preferred definition, and the remaining substituents have the general definition. These individual combinations are not specified expressis verbis for reasons of clarity, but are considered to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
  • The present invention preferably also provides the lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, ammonium, C1-C4-alkylammonium, di-(C1-C4-alkyl)ammonium, tri-(C1-C4-alkyl)ammonium, tetra-(C1-C4-allyl)ammonium, tri-(C1-C4-allyl)sulphonium, C5- or C6-cycloalkylammonium, di-(C1-C2-alkyl)benzylammonium and tri-(C1-C2-alkyl)benzylammonium salts of compounds of the formula (I) in which R1 to R6 have the above general, preferred, more preferred and especially preferred definitions and which can be prepared by generally customary processes.
  • The compounds of the general formula (I) may additionally optionally form salts by addition of a suitable inorganic or organic acid, for example HCl, HBr, H2SO4 or HNO3, but also oxalic acid or sulphonic acids, onto a basic group, for example amino or alkylamino. Suitable substituents present in deprotonated form, for example sulphonic acids or carboxylic acids, can form internal salts with groups which are themselves protonatable, such as amino groups. Salts can likewise be formed in the case of suitable substituents, for example sulphonic acids or carboxylic acids, by virtue of the hydrogen being replaced by a cation suitable in the agrochemical sector. These salts are, for example, metal salts, especially alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, especially sodium and potassium salts, or else ammonium salts, salts with organic amines or quaternary ammonium salts with cations of the formula [NRR′R″R″′]+ in which R to R″′ are each independently an organic radical, especially alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkylaryl.
  • In the general formula (I) and all other formulae in the present invention, the alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkoxy, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylthio and haloalkylthio radicals, and the corresponding unsaturated and/or substituted radicals in the carbon skeleton may each be straight-chain or branched. Unless stated specifically, the lower carbon skeletons, for example having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, especially 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or in the case of unsaturated groups having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, especially 2 to 4 carbon atoms, are preferred for these radicals. Alkyl radicals, also in the combined definitions such as alkoxy, haloalkyl, etc., are, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyls such as n- or i-propyl, butyls such as n-, iso- or tert-butyl, pentyls such as n-pentyl, isopentyl or neopentyl, hexyls such as n-hexyl, i-hexyl, 3-methylpentyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl or 2,3-dimethylbutyl, heptyls, such as n-heptyl, 1-methylhexyl or 1,4-dimethyl-pentyl; alkenyl and alkynyl radicals are defined as the possible unsaturated radicals corresponding to the alkyl radicals, where at least one double bond or triple bond, preferably one double bond or triple bond, is present. Alkenyl is, for example, vinyl, allyl, 1-methylprop-2-en-1-yl, 2-methyl-prop-2-en-1-yl, but-2-en-1-yl, but-3-en-1-yl, 1-methyl-but-3-en-1-yl and 1-methyl-but-2-en-1-yl; alkynyl is, for example, ethynyl, propargyl, but-2-yn-1-yl, but-3-yn-1-yl and 1-methyl-but-3-yn-1-yl.
  • When haloalkyl groups and haloalkyl radicals of haloalkoxy, haloalkylthio, haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl, inter alia, are specified, the lower carbon skeletons, for example having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or 2 to 6, especially 1 to 4 carbon atoms or preferably 2 to 4 carbon atoms, are preferred for these radicals, as are the corresponding unsaturated and/or substituted radicals in the carbon skeleton, in each case straight-chain or branched. Examples are difluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, trifluoroallyl, 1-chloroprop-1-yl-3-yl.
  • Halogen is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Haloalkyl, -alkenyl and -alkynyl are, respectively, alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl partly or fully substituted by halogen, preferably by fluorine, chlorine or bromine, especially by fluorine and/or chlorine, for example monohaloalkyl, perhaloalkyl, CF3, CHF2, CH2F, CF3CF2, CH2FCHCl, CCl3, CHCl2, CH2CH2Cl; haloalkoxy is, for example, OCF3, OCHF2, OCH2F, CF3CF2O, OCH2CF3 and OCH2CH2Cl; the same applies to haloalkenyl and other halogen-substituted radicals.
  • The present compounds of the general formula (I) may optionally have a chiral carbon atom. Corresponding chiral carbon atoms may occur especially in the R5 and R6 substituents.
  • According to the Cahn Ingold Prelog (CIP) Rules, these substituents may have either an (R) or an (S) configuration.
  • The present invention encompasses compounds of the general formula (I) both with (S) and with (R) configuration at the particular chiral carbon atoms, which means that the present invention includes the compounds of the general formula (I) in which the carbon atoms in question each independently have
    • (1) (R) configuration; or
    • (2) (S) configuration.
  • When more than one chiral centre is present in the compounds of the general formula (I), any desired combinations of the configurations of the chiral centres are possible, which means that
    • (1) one chiral centre has the (R) configuration and the other chiral centre the (S) configuration;
    • (2) one chiral centre has the (R) configuration and the other chiral centre the (R) configuration; and
    • (3) one chiral centre has the (S) configuration and the other chiral centre the (S) configuration.

  • The ammonium salts and phosphonium salts of the formula (IX) can be used in a wide concentration range to enhance the action of crop protection compositions comprising compounds of the formula (I). In general, the ammonium salts or phosphonium salts are used in the ready-to-use crop protection composition in a concentration of 0.5 to 80 mmol/l, preferably 0.75 to 37.5 mmol/l, more preferably 1.5 to 25 mmol/l. In the case of a formulated product, the concentration of ammonium salt and/or phosphonium salt in the formulation is selected such that it is within these stated general, preferred or particularly preferred ranges following dilution of the formulation to the desired active ingredient concentration. The concentration of the salt in the formulation is typically 1-50% by weight.
  • In one preferred embodiment of the invention, not just an ammonium salt and/or phosphonium salt but also a penetrant is added to the crop protection compositions to enhance the activity. An enhancement of activity can be observed even in these cases. The present invention thus also provides for the use of penetrants, and also for the use of a combination of penetrant and ammonium salts and/or phosphonium salts for increasing the activity of crop protection compositions which comprise acaricidally/insecticidally active compounds of the formula (I) as active ingredient. Finally, the invention also provides the use of these compositions for controlling harmful insects.
  • Useful penetrants in the present context are all those substances which are usually used for improving the penetration of agrochemical active ingredients into plants. Penetrants are defined in this context by their ability to penetrate from the aqueous spray liquor and/or from the spray coating into the cuticle of the plant and thereby increase the mobility of active ingredients in the cuticle. The method described in the literature (Baur et al., 1997, Pesticide Science 51, 131-152) can be used to determine this property.

  • If appropriate, the compounds of formula (I) can, at certain concentrations or application rates, also be used as herbicides, safeners, growth regulators or compositions to improve plant properties, or as microbicides, for example as fungicides, antimycotics, bactericides, viricides (including compositions against viroids) or as compositions against MLO (Mlycoplasma-like organisms) and RLO (Rickettsia-like organisms). If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates or precursors for the synthesis of other active ingredients.
  • The active ingredients can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, water- and oil-based suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, soluble granules, granules for broadcasting, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural compounds impregnated with active ingredient, synthetic substances impregnated with active ingredient, fertilizers and also microencapsulations in polymeric substances.
  • These formulations are prepared in a known manner, for example by mixing the active ingredients with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is to say emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam-formers. The formulations are prepared either in suitable plants or else before or during application.
  • The substances used as auxiliaries are substances which are suitable for imparting particular properties to the composition itself and/or to preparations derived therefrom (for example spray liquors, seed dressings), such as certain technical properties and/or also particular biological properties. Typical suitable auxiliaries are: extenders, solvents and carriers.
  • Suitable extenders are, for example, water, polar and nonpolar organic chemical liquids, for example from the classes of the aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons (such as paraffins, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorobenzenes), the alcohols and polyols (which may optionally also be substituted, etherified and/or esterified), the ketones (such as acetone, cyclohexanone), esters (including fats and oils) and (poly)ethers, the unsubstituted and substituted amines, amides, lactams (such as N-alkylpyrrolidones) and lactones, the sulphones and sulphoxides (such as dimethyl sulphoxide).
  • If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and also their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethyl sulphoxide, and also water.
  • Suitable solid carriers are:
  • for example ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic materials such as highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates; suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example, crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic maternal such as paper, sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or foam-formers are: for example, nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and also protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are nonionic and/or ionic substances, for example from the classes of the alcohol-POE and/or -POP ethers, acid and/or POP-POE esters, alkylaryl and/or POP-POE ethers, fat and/or POP-POE adducts, POE- and/or POP-polyol derivatives, POE- and/or POP-sorbitan or -sugar adducts, allyl or aryl sulphates, allyl- or arylsulphonates and alkyl or aryl phosphates or the corresponding PO ether adducts, further, suitable oligo- or polymers, for example those derived from vinylic monomers, from acrylic acid, from EO and/or PO alone or in combination with, for example, (poly)alcohols or (poly)amines. It is also possible to employ lignin and its sulphonic acid derivatives, unmodified and modified celluloses, aromatic and/or aliphatic sulphonic acids and their adducts with formaldehyde.
  • Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations.
  • It is possible to use dyes such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyes such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
  • Other possible additives are perfumes, mineral or vegetable, optionally modified oils, waxes and nutrients (including trace nutrients), such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
  • Stabilizers, such as low-temperature stabilizers, preservatives, antioxidants, light stabilizers or other compostions which improve chemical and/or physical stability may also be present.
  • The formulations generally comprise between 0.01 and 98% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
  • The active ingredient may be present in its commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with other active ingredients, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilizing agents, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances, herbicides, safeners, fertilizers, semiochemicals, or else with compositions for improving the plant properties.
  • When used as insecticides, the inventive active ingredients may additionally be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with synergistic agents. Synergistic agents are compounds which increase the action of the active ingredients, without it being necessary for the synergistic agent added to be active itself.
  • When used as insecticides, the inventive active ingredients may additionally be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with inhibitors which reduce degradation of the active ingredient after use in the environment of the plant, on the surface of plant parts or in plant tissues.
  • The active ingredient content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations can vary within wide limits. The active ingredient concentration of the use forms can be from 0.00000001 to 95% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.00001 and 1% by weight.
  • The compounds are employed in a customary manner appropriate for the use forms.
  • All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. By plants are understood here all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or cannot be protected by varietal property rights. Parts of plants are to be understood to mean all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit-bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material and also vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seeds.
  • The inventive treatment of the plants and plant parts with the active ingredients is carried out directly or by allowing the compounds to act on the surroundings, environment or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for example by immersion, spraying, evaporation, fogging, scattering, painting on, injecting, pouring on, and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, also by applying one or more coats.
  • As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The terms “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” have been explained above.
  • More preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are to be understood to mean plants having new properties (“traits”) and which have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes.
  • Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus possible are, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase of the activity of the compounds and compositions usable in accordance with the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, higher quality and/or higher nutrient value of the harvested products, increased storability and/or processability of the harvested products, which exceed the effects normally to be expected.
  • The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering) which are preferably treated according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particular advantageous useful properties (“traits”) to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processibility of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active ingredients. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, sugarbeet, tomatoes, peas and other types of vegetable, cotton, tobacco, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes and slugs and snails by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as “Bt plants”). Traits that are also particularly emphasized are the increased defence of the plants to fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are additionally particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active ingredients, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the “PAT” gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of “Bt plants” which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya bean), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylureas, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which plants will be developed and/or marketed in the future.

  • 8.0 g (58.3 mmol) of 2-cyano-3-fluorophenol are dissolved in 100 ml of anhydrous toluene. With exclusion of moisture and under protective argon gas, a solution of 8.489 g (60 mmol) of chlorosulphonyl isocyanate is added dropwise, in the course of which slight exothermicity occurs. The mixture is stirred at 50° C. for 16 hours; phenol is no longer detectable by thin-layer chromatography. The mixture is heated under reflux for 16 hours; no further evolution of HCl gas takes place. The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up in acetonitrile and admixed with aqueous acetonitrile. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the mixture is concentrated, and the residue is dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water. After drying and concentrating the organic phase, 13 g of a reaction mixture are obtained, which is chromatographed on silica gel (450 g, 40-63 μm) with dichloromethane/methanol=99/1. 1.3 g of a fraction are isolated, which consists of two components at logP=0.76 and 1.06. After separating this mixture by means of HPLC, 0.8 g of 4-amino-5-fluoro-1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide is obtained as a white solid.

The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 0.15 g of crude product which, after dissolution in 14 ml of acetonitrile and 6 ml of water, is purified by means of reversed phase HPLC (Kromasil 100 C18, 250×40 mm, 5 μm, 0.01% HCOOH/H2O acetonitrile gradient 34/66, isocratic). This gives 55 mg (24.2% of theory) of compound I-24 as a white solid.
