Definitions
- the invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas represented by the formula(I) indicated hereinafter, agricultural compositions thereof, and a method of treating plants with them.
- British Pat. No. 1,122,662 discloses that some derivatives of urea can be used for preservation of plant materials. Further, Proc. Roy. Soc., vol. B165, page 245, London (1966) reports that some ureas produce a desirable effect for developing the plantbud, while others show a mold effect as initiators of cell division.
- This invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas of formula(I) and acid addition salts thereof; a process for their preparation; a method of using the compounds and compositions for agricultural purposes, especially as plant growth regulators, and a process for the preparation of such compositions.
- novel compounds of formula(I) have valuable agricultural properties, especially growth-regulating effects as further elucidated hereinafter, which makes them useful as plant growth regulators.
- This invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas, a process for their preparation, agricultural compositions which are useful as plant growth regulators containing one of the said compounds as an effective component thereof, and a method of treating plants therewith.
- Regulation of plant growth means acceleration or suppression of plant growth with a very small quantity of a chemical to regulate and control the state of plant growth as desired. Consequently, it does not indicate merely an increase or decrease in the height of a plant, but also the ability to have flowers or fruits when desired, or to obtain fruits without seeds, or to make the seeds dormant or conversely take them out of dormancy.
- One object of this invention is to provide plant growth regulators which have advantages over such known useful substances. Other advantages will become apparent hereinafter.
- the active compounds provided by this invention comprise N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas having the following formula(I): ##STR2## wherein R 1 represents hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl; R 2 represents an aromatic group, preferably phenyl, pyridyl, naphthyl or biphenyl, which may be substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, hydroxyl, or halogen, especially one or two bromine, chlorine, or fluorine atoms; and X is oxygen or sulfur; and acid addition salts thereof.
- halogen-substituted phenyl is preferably chlorine and fluorine, more preferably chlorine.
- the compounds represented by formula(I), wherein X represents oxygen can be prepared by conventional methods.
- R 1 is a hydrogen atom and R 2 is unsubstituted phenyl.
- R 1 is a hydrogen atom
- R 2 is unsubstituted phenyl.
- 2-chloro-4-aminopyridine is reacted with phenyl isocyanate
- 2-chloro-4-pyridyl isocyanate is reacted with aniline
- 2-chloro-isonicotinoylacide is reacted with aniline.
- reaction it is preferred to use a slight excess of one of the reactants, although approximately equivalent amounts of reactants may also be used in the usual suitable solvents.
- Some solvents for the reaction are benzene, toluene, xylene, actone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, pyridine, and triethyl amine.
- An excess of aniline, when a reactant is particularly useful as solvent.
- the reaction is favorably conducted in the range of -5° to 150° C., including room temperature, although it is most preferred to effect the reaction at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. A reaction time between five-tenths and five hours is sufficient to produce a good yield of desired product.
- the compounds represented by the formula(I), wherein X represents sulfur can be also prepared by conventional methods illustrated in (a) and (b) by using the corresponding starting materials and under similar reaction conditions.
- the reaction temperature should generally be in the range of 20° to 150° C.
- N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(3-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(4-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(4-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyrid
- N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas of this invention possess accelerating action on cell mitosis, cell enlargement, and cell differentiation, and are effective in the acceleration of fruiting, prevention of fruit and flower from falling, growth acceleration, and growth suppression.
- concentration of the chemical employed By adjusting the concentration of the chemical employed, a marked suppression of growth(herbicidal) can be caused to occur at a high concentration of the chemical.
- Table A The action, field of application, use, and plants to which these chemicals are applicable, are listed in the following table (Table A).
- Table A The most prominent effective use of these chemicals is found in the increased number of fruits in pepos such as melon and watermelon, inhibition of flower shedding, accelerated growth of green vegetables, extension of tobacco leaf area, and herbicidal effect (when desired).
- the urea derivatives of this invention show the same activity in concentrations only a fraction of that required with 6-(N-benzyl)adenine and kinetin, which have hitherto been considered the most potent plant growth regulating substances available. Even in comparison with N-(4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea of similar structure, they show a 100-fold or greater increase in activity. This increased activity is unexpectedly observed only when a chlorine atom is present at the 2-position of the pyridine ring.
- the optimal concentration to give maximum yield of callus is 0.01 ppm for 6-(N-benzyl)adenine and 0.1 ppm for N-(4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea, whereas that of the potent N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas of this invention is only 0.0005 to 0.001 ppm.
- substitution on the phenyl ring decreases the activity in the tobacco test for the acceleration of cell differentiation, the optimal concentration of 6-benzyladenine being 10 ppm, but less than 1 ppm of N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas gives formation of numerous shoots.
- N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas of this invention show the effect of increasing weight, not only in callus cells but also on pith tissue, leaf tissue, and on plants during growth.
- the plant growth regulators of this invention can be applied to plants and crops in general, but are especially effective when applied to a member of the leguminosae, solanaceae, unbelliferae, popes vitaceal, cucurbitaceae and vitaceae families.
- the amount of a compound of this invention to be used by spraying the plant directly is generally 100 to 1000 liters per Ha as a solution of a concentration of 0.0001 to 10,000 ppm, preferably 0.01 to 10,000 ppm. When used in soil, an amount 5- to 100-fold of that given above is required. It goes without saying that the amount to be applied will differ according to the object of the control and the plant to which applied. For example, 100 to 1000 liters of a solution of the following concentration should be used per Ha.
- the compounds of this invention can be used alone or in admixture with other substances or compositions having effective components, such as other plant regulators, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and acericides, usually in the form of solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, granules, fine granules, or powders.
- compositions may be carried out in known manner, as by mixing, for example, 0.1 to 50%, preferably 0.1 to 10%, of a compound of this invention with a bulking agent, such as a liquid or solid diluent or carrier and, if necessary, using an emulsifying agent or dispersing agent.

Abstract
N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R1 represents hydrogen or alkyl, R2 represents an aromatic group, especially phenyl, which may be substituted by alkyl, alkoxyl, hydroxyl or halogen, and X is oxygen or sulfur, and acid addition salts thereof, useful as plant growth regulators, are disclosed. Method of making and using same and agricultural compositions thereof are also disclosed.
Description
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas represented by the formula(I) indicated hereinafter, agricultural compositions thereof, and a method of treating plants with them.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
British Pat. No. 1,122,662 discloses that some derivatives of urea can be used for preservation of plant materials. Further, Proc. Roy. Soc., vol. B165, page 245, London (1966) reports that some ureas produce a desirable effect for developing the plantbud, while others show a mold effect as initiators of cell division.
This invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas of formula(I) and acid addition salts thereof; a process for their preparation; a method of using the compounds and compositions for agricultural purposes, especially as plant growth regulators, and a process for the preparation of such compositions.
The novel compounds of formula(I) have valuable agricultural properties, especially growth-regulating effects as further elucidated hereinafter, which makes them useful as plant growth regulators.
This invention relates to novel N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas, a process for their preparation, agricultural compositions which are useful as plant growth regulators containing one of the said compounds as an effective component thereof, and a method of treating plants therewith. Regulation of plant growth means acceleration or suppression of plant growth with a very small quantity of a chemical to regulate and control the state of plant growth as desired. Consequently, it does not indicate merely an increase or decrease in the height of a plant, but also the ability to have flowers or fruits when desired, or to obtain fruits without seeds, or to make the seeds dormant or conversely take them out of dormancy.
Control of plant growth with plant hormones is becoming an important technique in the agricultural and horticultural fields. Among the best and best-known plant growth regulators are cytokinine 6-(N-benzyl)adenine and kinetine.
One object of this invention is to provide plant growth regulators which have advantages over such known useful substances. Other advantages will become apparent hereinafter.
It has now been found that 4-pyridylureas and thioureas, which contain a chlorine atom in the 2-position of the pyridine ring, possess an extremely potent activity of the said type and have the ability to regulate plant growth over a wide range.
The active compounds provided by this invention comprise N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas having the following formula(I): ##STR2## wherein R1 represents hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl; R2 represents an aromatic group, preferably phenyl, pyridyl, naphthyl or biphenyl, which may be substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, hydroxyl, or halogen, especially one or two bromine, chlorine, or fluorine atoms; and X is oxygen or sulfur; and acid addition salts thereof.
Of these substituents, hydrogen and methyl for R1, unsubstituted or methyl-substituted phenyl for R2 and oxygen for X are preferred. The most preferred are hydrogen for R1, unsubstituted phenyl for R2 and oxygen for X. In the case of the halogen-substituted phenyl for R2, the halogen is preferably chlorine and fluorine, more preferably chlorine.
The compounds represented by formula(I), wherein X represents oxygen, can be prepared by conventional methods. For brevity, reference is specifically made to the compound represented by formula(I), wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom and R2 is unsubstituted phenyl. Following conventional preparations, either (a) 2-chloro-4-aminopyridine is reacted with phenyl isocyanate, or (b) 2-chloro-4-pyridyl isocyanate is reacted with aniline, or (c) 2-chloro-isonicotinoylacide is reacted with aniline.
In carrying out this reaction, it is preferred to use a slight excess of one of the reactants, although approximately equivalent amounts of reactants may also be used in the usual suitable solvents. Some solvents for the reaction are benzene, toluene, xylene, actone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, pyridine, and triethyl amine. An excess of aniline, when a reactant, is particularly useful as solvent. The reaction is favorably conducted in the range of -5° to 150° C., including room temperature, although it is most preferred to effect the reaction at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. A reaction time between five-tenths and five hours is sufficient to produce a good yield of desired product.
The compounds represented by the formula(I), wherein X represents sulfur can be also prepared by conventional methods illustrated in (a) and (b) by using the corresponding starting materials and under similar reaction conditions. However, as the reactivity and speed of the reaction for preparing thioureas is not as great when compared with the urea compounds, the reaction temperature should generally be in the range of 20° to 150° C.
The above-mentioned preparations (a), (b) and (c) can be represented by the following chemical reaction schemes: ##STR3## wherein R1 and X have the same meanings as in formula(I) and R3 represents lower alkyl, lower alkoxyl, hydroxyl, or halogen, especially bromine, chlorine or fluorine.
Some of the compounds of this invention are listed in the following:
N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(3-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(4-chlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(4-methylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-fluorophenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(4-n-propylphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-(2-ethoxyphenyl)urea, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylthiourea, N-(3-bromo-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea, etc.
The N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas and thioureas of this invention possess accelerating action on cell mitosis, cell enlargement, and cell differentiation, and are effective in the acceleration of fruiting, prevention of fruit and flower from falling, growth acceleration, and growth suppression. By adjusting the concentration of the chemical employed, a marked suppression of growth(herbicidal) can be caused to occur at a high concentration of the chemical.
The action, field of application, use, and plants to which these chemicals are applicable, are listed in the following table (Table A). The most prominent effective use of these chemicals is found in the increased number of fruits in pepos such as melon and watermelon, inhibition of flower shedding, accelerated growth of green vegetables, extension of tobacco leaf area, and herbicidal effect (when desired).

The urea derivatives of this invention show the same activity in concentrations only a fraction of that required with 6-(N-benzyl)adenine and kinetin, which have hitherto been considered the most potent plant growth regulating substances available. Even in comparison with N-(4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea of similar structure, they show a 100-fold or greater increase in activity. This increased activity is unexpectedly observed only when a chlorine atom is present at the 2-position of the pyridine ring.
To explain in more concrete terms, in the test for tobacco callus growth, the optimal concentration to give maximum yield of callus is 0.01 ppm for 6-(N-benzyl)adenine and 0.1 ppm for N-(4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea, whereas that of the potent N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas of this invention is only 0.0005 to 0.001 ppm. Generally, substitution on the phenyl ring decreases the activity in the tobacco test for the acceleration of cell differentiation, the optimal concentration of 6-benzyladenine being 10 ppm, but less than 1 ppm of N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas gives formation of numerous shoots.
N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)ureas of this invention show the effect of increasing weight, not only in callus cells but also on pith tissue, leaf tissue, and on plants during growth.
The plant growth regulators of this invention can be applied to plants and crops in general, but are especially effective when applied to a member of the leguminosae, solanaceae, unbelliferae, popes vitaceal, cucurbitaceae and vitaceae families.
The amount of a compound of this invention to be used by spraying the plant directly is generally 100 to 1000 liters per Ha as a solution of a concentration of 0.0001 to 10,000 ppm, preferably 0.01 to 10,000 ppm. When used in soil, an amount 5- to 100-fold of that given above is required. It goes without saying that the amount to be applied will differ according to the object of the control and the plant to which applied. For example, 100 to 1000 liters of a solution of the following concentration should be used per Ha.

The compounds of this invention can be used alone or in admixture with other substances or compositions having effective components, such as other plant regulators, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and acericides, usually in the form of solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, granules, fine granules, or powders.
The preparation of suitable compositions may be carried out in known manner, as by mixing, for example, 0.1 to 50%, preferably 0.1 to 10%, of a compound of this invention with a bulking agent, such as a liquid or solid diluent or carrier and, if necessary, using an emulsifying agent or dispersing agent. As substances preferably as a liquid diluent or a carrier may be cited water, aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylene, benzene, and methylnaphthalene, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, mineral oil fractions such as paraffin, alcohols such as methanol and propanol, and polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and acetone. Among the substances preferably as a solid diluent or carrier are, for example, talc, clay, kaolin, white carbon, wood powder and sand. As an emulsifying agent may be used polyoxyethylene-fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene-fatty acid alcohol ethers. Dispersing agents include alkyl sulfonates, alkyl aryl sulfonates, alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, ammonium salt of lignin-sulfonic acid, and methylcellulose.
These compounds or preparations thereof per se may be added to a medium or applied directly to the plant or onto the surface of leaves or stalks thereof, or sprayed on the soil, but are usually applied in the form of the usual preparations thereof. Further, the plant growth controlling agents of this invention may be added together with fertilizers and/or extenders.
These compounds can also be used in the form of an inorganic or organic salt such as the hydrochloride, phosphate, or sulfate thereof.

Seedlings of tobacco (variety, Bright Yellow) were transplanted in unglazed pots of about 13 cm. in diameter and the pots were left in a greenhouse. Solutions of the selected chemical of desired concentration were sprayed with a sprayer, 15 ml. for each pot, homogeneously on leaves and stalk at the time when 6 to 8 leaves were out. One section of the pots was sprayed once and the other section three times at 13-day intervals. Examination of the result was made when middle leaves started to become yellow (35 days after the initial spraying of the chemical), and height of the plant, fresh weight of stalk and leaves, and average area of five lower leaves were measured, and ratio of these values to those of the non-treated plants was calculated. Experimental section was three pots per area and their average was taken. Results are listed in the following Table VIII.

Grapevine (variety Delaware) raised in plastic house covering was used for the examination. N-(2-Chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea or benzyladenine (200 or 100 ppm) was dded to 100 ppm of gibberelline solution, and recemose flowers were dipped in each solution (April 14). Ten days after full bloom (May 4), all the fruit clusters were again soaked and treated with 100 ppm solution of gebberelline. The grapevines were then left to usual cultivation conditions until harvest. Grapes were harvested on June 29, and weight of each cluster, length of cluster, density of berries, number of berries on each cluster, and berry diameter were measured. These values were compared with those found with grapes with gebberelline treatment alone. Experimental area contained two new brances, three repetition, and average value of fifteen fruit clusters was calculated.
Results are shown in Table IX.

Soil containing the subterranean stems of narrowleaf waterplantain (Alisma canaliculatum) and bulrush (Scirpus juncoides) homogeneously was filled in ceramic pots of 30 cm in diameter. Seeds of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-balli), umbrella plant (Cyperus diformis) were each sown in pots, fifty seeds to each pot. Then paddy rice seedlings (Variety Kinmaze) at the two-leaf stage was planted, five seedlings per pot, and the pots were filled with water so as to have a water layer of three cm. above the soil. When the barnyard grass reached the one-leaf stage, the desired quantity of the solution of the selected test chemical(s), prepared according to Preparation 1, was sprayed uniformly over the surface of the water. Herbicidal effect was examined fourteen days after the chemical treatment. Result of this test was expressed by the following index (Table X):
