Description

HALO ALKYNYL UREA DERIVATIVES, A METHOD FOR
THEIR PRODUCTION AND FUNGICIDAL COMPOSITIONS
CONTAINING THEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to novel fungicidal agents. More particularly, this invention is directed to urea derivatives, the preparation thereof, and their use as fungicidal and algaecidal agents. REVIEW OF RELATED ART
One of the most effective and efficient classes of fungicides now known is generally considered to be the organically substituted mercury compounds. They have been particularly valuable because they control attack by a wide spectrum of micro-organisms, may be used at low concentration, and have
considerable permanence when this characteristic is desirable (as in surface coatings). However, the reputation of these compounds has deteriorated recently because of toxic and environmental hazards, and they are being eliminated or phased out as commercial fungicides. Other fungicides which have been developed and which have been placed on the market from time to time as mercurial substitutes are listed below, but none of these has proved to be entirely satisfactory. a. Captan - not stable to hydrolysis, particularly in alkaline systems; b. trans, di-n-propyl-l,2-ethene - not stable in aqueous systems; c. 4-methyl sulfonyl tetrachloropyridine - not stable in alkaline
systems; d. 2-(4 Thiazolyl)-benzimidazole - expensive and relatively ineffective against Alternaria sp. (a prevalent organism in the south); e. p-chloro (or methyl) phenyl diiodomethyl sulfone - causes yellowing, ineffective in oil-based systems and relatively susceptible to degradation due to weathering; f. octylisothiazolone - expensive, relatively susceptible to degradation due to weathering, and requires zinc oxide as a synergist.
Certain halogenated acetylenic alcohols and derivatives therefrom have been described for various uses.
U.S. Patent No. 1,841,768 teaches the preparation of chloro and bromo substituted ethine carbinols. They are disclosed as pharmaceutically valuable and for therapeutic use. U.S. Patent No. 2,989,568 also relates to the preparation of chloro and bromo-substituted acetylenic alcohols. The compounds are described as useful as corrosion inhibitors and inhibitors for plating baths. U.S. Patent No. 2,791,603 is directed to carbamates (urethanes) of tertiary acetylenic carbinols useful as anti-convulsants. U.S. Patent No. 3,436,402 teaches certain halogenated carbamates of diaryl substituted alkynes.
In U.S. Patent 3,923,870, Singer disclosed iodopropargyl carbamate and
taught the use of this compound as a fungicide. Others confirmed the use of halopropargyl carbamate and its derivatives as fungicides (Versfelt, et al. (1984), GB 2,140,299; Morell (1987), J. Wood Fiber Sci. 19:388-391; Leathers, et al. (1989), U.S. Pat. 4,806,263; Gertjejansen, et al. (1989), For. Prod. J.. 39:15-19; Kusaba, et al. (1989), U.S. Pat. 4,841,088; and Rayudu (1990), EP 0 365 121). Bacteriocidal activity has also been reported for propargyl ethers by Makhsumov, et al. (1968, Izv. Akad. Nauk. SSSR. Ser. Khim.. No. 11, 2591-2593). N-(3-iodopropargyl) carbazole was disclosed by Shklover, et al. (1990, Mol. Cryst. Liq. Crvst.. Vol. 180B, pp. 417-423), but no utility was suggested for the compound.
Despite the number of alternatives to organo-mercurial fungicides, there remains a need for novel compounds with fungicidal activity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

agents.
It is also an object of the invention to provide halo alkynyl ureas of the formula:

Figure imgf000008_0001
Examples of R,, Rb or R,. include hydrogen and linear or branched alkyl groups of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms represented by any of methyl, ethyl, propyl,
isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, and hexyl groups and branched isomers thereof, or alkenyl groups of from 2 to 8 carbon atoms represented by vinyl, allyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl and hexenyl groups and the respective isomers of the alkenyls mentioned having 4-8, preferably, 5 or 6 carbon atoms, including cycloalkenyls. Examples of R„ Rb or R«. also include cycloalkyl radicals with from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, including cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl groups, and arylalkyl and alkylaryl groups of 6 to 10 carbon atoms such as phenyl, tolyl, naphthyl, and benzyl. Such moieties also can be substituted with radicals that do not adversely affect the process for making the halo alkynyl urea of the above formula or its use as a fungicide or algaecide. Preferred substituents include hydroxyl, cyano or nitro groups or halogen atoms. Compounds of formula I in which both R, and Rb are either hydrogen or methyl, as well as those compounds in which one or both of R, and Rb is hydrogen or one is methyl are preferred.
Examples of linear or branched alkyl groups of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms represented by R, include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl and dodecyl groups as well as the branched isomers of the alkyls having from 5 to 12 carbon atoms. It is preferred if R represents a group having 8 or fewer carbons. If R is a cycloalkyl of from 4 to 8 carbon atoms it may, for example, be a cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl group. Compounds in which R represents a lower alkyl of from 1
to 6 carbon atoms are more preferred. Especially preferred compounds are those which R represents, for example, propyl, butyl, or cyclohexyl group. R may also represent linear or branched alkenyl groups or cycloalkenyl groups, such as propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl and hexenyl groups and the respective isomers of the alkenyls mentioned having 4-8, preferably, 5 or 6 carbon atoms, including cycloalkenyls. The moieties represented by R also can be substituted with radicals that do not adversely affect the process for making the halo alkynyl urea of the above formula or its use as a fungicide or algaecide. Preferred substituents include hydroxyl, cyano or nitro groups or halogen atoms.
The isocyanates of Formula III may include any R group that will form a compound according to Formula I upon reaction with an amine of Formula II. Such isocyanates include, for example, methyl isocyanate, ethyl isocyanate, propyl isocyanate, isopropyl isocyanate, butyl isocyanate, isobutyl isocyanate, and cyclohexylisocyanate. The alkynyl ureas of this invention may also be synthesized by the reaction of amines of Formula II with alkyl di-isocyanates or alkyl tri-isocyanates c ormula in to produce an alkyl group substituted with two or three alkynyl ure, Oieties. Such polyisocyanates are well known in the polyurethane art, and include hexamethylene-l ,6-diisocyanate, tetramethylene-l,4-diisocyanate, cyclohexane 1,4-diisocyanate, 4,4'- dicyclohexylmethyl diisocyanate, and the like.
Based on antifungal efficacy, the preferred halo alkynyl ureas of this invention are iodo alkynyl ureas. The iodo alkynyl ureas of Formula I may be synthesized by reacting primary or secondary amines of Formula II with equimolar amounts of the isocyanates of Formula HI and iodinating the resultant alkynyl urea according to standard procedures. It will be apparent to the skilled worker that bromo alkynyl ureas of Formula I may be prepared similarly.
The synthesis of alkynyl urea is carried out at temperatures from about 0° to 100°C, preferably from about 20° to 70°C, usually in an inert solvent. Suitable solvents include ethylene chloride, dimethyl formamide, toluene, chlorobenzene, methylene chloride, and tetrahydrofuran and the like. The reaction can be accelerated with catalysts such as, for example, dibutyltin carboxylates of fatty acids. Catalysts that may be used also include tertiary bases such as triethylamine. A preferred method of halogenating the alkynyl
urea is the procedure for halogenation of alkynes taught in Singer, U.S. Patent 3,923,870 incorporated herein by reference. Surprisingly, the procedure of this invention can be used to produce an unsubstituted halo alkynyl urea from an alkynyl amine. An alkynyl amine according to formula II is reacted with hydrocyanic acid to form alkynyl urea which can then be halogenated in a second step. The halogenation reaction selectively substitutes the alkynyl carbon in preference to the urea nitrogen.
Due to their microbiostatic and microbiocidal effect, the compounds according to the invention are suitable, for example, for the preservation of technical products, such as paints, glues, dispersions, or cold lubricants, or for the antimicrobial treatment of joint caulking compounds, such as silicon caulks. They are also suitable for the elimination of mold, for example, mold on wet walls, ceilings, or floors, for the preservation of wood, and for the antimicrobial treatment of plastics, such as polyolefm or polyvinyl chloride (PNC) foils. Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention can be used as disinfectants or as preservatives for cosmetics. The antimicrobial compositions described herein are particularly effective as fungicidal compositions.
For use in antimicrobial compositions, one or more compounds according to the invention can be incorporated by a known method into liquid, paste, or solid preparations that are in the form of solutions, suspensions, or emulsions. In preparations ready for use, the compounds of the invention should be present in a fungicidally or algaecidally effective amount and preferably will be present in amounts of from about 0.01 to 5% by weight based upon the weight of the total antimicrobial preparation, although other concentrations are possible depending upon the specific application. Concentrates for the make-up of such ready-for-use preparations may conveniently contain the compounds of the invention in amounts of up to 50% by weight, based upon the weight of the total concentrate. The remainder of the antimicrobial composition will contain conventional formulation ingredients, such as, for example, water, organic solvents such as, for example ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, toluene and ethyl acetate, surfactants and binders.
When the antimicrobial or fungicidal compositions are admixed with a desired substance to preserve the substance, the compounds according to the invention should comprise from about 0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably from about 0.01 to 3% by weight, based upon the weight of the total preparation. In most instances an antimicrobial composition such as that described above will be admixed with the desired substance. However, it is within the scope of the invention that one or more compounds of Formula I could be added directly.
The examples below are intended to illustrate the invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention thereto. Example 1; 3-Iodo-2-Propynyl-n-bιιtyI-Urea
0.1 mol. (5.5g) of propargylamine was placed in a reaction flask and dissolved in 20g of tetrahydrofuran (THF), then 0.1 mol. (9.9g) of n-butyl isocyanate was added dropwise. The exothermic reaction was controlled by cooling so that the temperature did not exceed 50'C. After a reaction time of 10 minutes, the urea precipitated out. For an additional 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was kept at 50'C, then the solvent was evaporated under vacuum, and the slight yellow propargyl butyl urea was used without further purification (15. lg = yield 98%).
In a second step the propargyl butyl urea was iodinated in the presence of solvents (for example, hydrocarbons, aromatics, ethers, esters, alcohols) according to literature procedures. (See, e.g., Singer, U.S. Patent 3,923,870, incorporated herein by reference.)
Then the residual solvent was removed by vacuum drying procedure, and
24.3g (87.9% yield of the theory) were obtained as a creme yellow powdery substance which was recrystallized into a white crystallinic substance (melting point 131 to 133°C). The substance has a moderate overall solubility, with good solubilities in alcohols and slight solubility in hydrocarbons. It is practically insoluble in water.
