HYDROXIMIC ACID DERIVATIVES, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND INTERMEDIATES THEREFOR
This invention relates to processes, intermediates in the processes and compounds obtainable by the processes. Many of the compounds have pesticidal, 5 especially fungicidal, insecticidal and acancidal, activity.
In EP 299 694 there is described the preparation of pesticidal alkyl esters of aryl(methoxyιmιno)acetιc acid. However, the preparation described therein cannot be used to obtain analogous compounds wherein the aryl group is connected to the acetic acid group through an oxygen or sulfur atom.
We have now found a route for preparing such compounds
According to the invention, there is provided a process for preparing a compound of formula I,

which comprises reacting a compound of formula II

under basic conditions, with a compound of formula III,

The compositions of the invention can take any form known in the art for the formulation of agrochemicals, for example, a solution, a dispersion, an aqueous emulsion, a dusting powder, a seed dressing, a fumigant, a smoke, a dispersible powder, an emulsifiable concentrate or granules. Moreover it can be in a suitable form for direct application or as a concentrate or primary composition which requires dilution with a suitable quantity of water or other diluent before application.

The concentration of the active ingredient in the composition of the present invention, as applied to plants is preferably within the range of 0.0001 to 1 .0 per cent by weight, especially 0.0001 to 0.01 per cent by weight. In a primary composition, the amount of active ingredient can vary widely and can be, for example, from 5 to 95 per cent by weight of the composition.
In the method of the invention the compound is generally applied to seeds, plants or their habitat Thus, the compound can be applied directly to the soil before, at or after drilling so that the presence of active compound in the soil can control the growth of fungi which may attack seeds. When the soil is treated directly the active compound can be applied in any manner which allows it to be intimately mixed with the soil such as by spraying, by broadcasting a solid form of granules, or by applying the active ingredient at the same time as drilling by inserting it in the same drill as the seeds. A suitable application rate is within the range of from 5 to 1 000 g per hectare, more preferably from 1 0 to 500 g per hectare.
Alternatively the active compound can be applied directly to the plant by, for example, spraying or dusting either at the time when the fungus has begun to appear on the plant or before the appearance of fungus as a protective measure. In both such cases the preferred mode of application is by foliar spraying. It is generally important to obtain good control of fungi in the early stages of plant growth as this is the time when the plant can be most severely damaged. The spray or dust can conveniently contain a pre- or post-emergence herbicide if this is thought necessary. Sometimes, it is practicable to treat the roots of a plant before or during planting, for example, by dipping the roots in a suitable liquid or solid composition. When the active compound is applied directly to the plant a suitable rate of application is from 0.025 to 5 kg per hectare, preferably from 0.05 to 1 kg per hectare.
In addition, the compounds of the invention can be applied to plants or parts thereof which have been genetically modified to exhibit a trait such as fungal, insect and/or herbicidal resistance.
