Description

Process for the Preparation of Pyrimidinone Derivatives
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I
Figure imgf000003_0001
wherein
A is a fused 5-membered heterocyclic ring which may be saturated or unsaturated, aromatic or non-aromatic and which may contain one or two hetero atoms O, S and/or N, or is fused benzo, pyrido or pyridazino;
Ri and R2 are groups which are inert to the reactions;
R3 is d-Cβalkyl, C2-C8alkenyl, C2-C8alkynyl, C3-C6cycloalkyl or C3-C6cycloalkyl-Cι-C6alkyl, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, C C4haloalkyl, C C alkoxy, S-C C4alkyl, SO-d-dalkyl, SO2-C C4alkyl, CO-Cι-C4alkyl, N=CH-CrC alkyl, N=C(C1-C4alkyl)2, NH-C1-C4alkyl, N(C C4alkyl)2, COO-Cι-C4alkyl, COO-aryl, cyano, nitro, Si-(CrC4alkyl)3, phenyl, halophenyl, phenoxyphenyl, halophenoxyphenyl or naphthyl; and R is Cι-C6alkyl, C2-C6alkenyl, C2-C6alkynyl, C3-C6cycloalkyl or C3-C6cycloalkyl-Cι-C6alkyl, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, C C haloaikyl, C C alkoxy, S-C C4alkyl, SO-CrC4alkyl, SO2-CrC4alkyl, CO-C C4alkyl, N=CH-CrC4alkyl, N=C(C1-C4alkyl)2, NH-Cι-C4alkyl, N(Cι-C4alkyl)2, COO-CrC4alkyl, COO-aryl, cyano, nitro, Si-(Cι-C alkyl)3, phenyl, halophenyl, phenoxyphenyl, halophenoxyphenyl or naphthyl; in which process

R5 is a group which does not impair the reactions, e.g. hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted aryl, is reacted with an imidocarbonate of the formula III, wherein R3 and R4 are as defined for formula I, to give the intermediate compound of formula IV; and subsequently

Figure imgf000004_0001
The invention relates also to new intermediates of formula IV
Figure imgf000004_0002
wherein A, R1 ( R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as defined above.
Compounds of formula I having plant protecting, in particular fungicidal properties are known e.g. from WO 97/48684, WO 97/33890, WO 97/02262 and WO 94/26722. In the syntheses of these compounds as described therein thiophosgene or an isothiocyanate is used for the preparation of the pyrimidinone moiety; in an additional subsequent reaction step, the sulfur introduced with the above reagents has to be eliminated.
The known processes for the preparation of compounds of formula I are accordingly unsatisfactory for safety, economic and ecological reasons.
The method provided herewith is distinguished by good technical feasibility and is economically and ecologically more favorable.
Compounds of formula II are known e.g. from WO 97/33890.
Imidocarbonates of formula III are known or can be prepared by known methods, as described e.g. in EP 519'868 and WO 98/40363. Reaction steps (a) and (b) are carried out with or without a solvent; the temperature is not critical and may vary from 20° to 200°C; preferably is a temperature of 80° to 170°C, most preferably at or near the boiling temperature of the solvent.
The reaction is advantageously carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of an acid, e.g 1-20% or 1-5% per weight related to the educt of formula II, and in the absence of water. Suitable acids are mineral acids, as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and hydrogen halide, as HCI, HBr, HF; organic carboxylic acids, as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and oxalic acid; organic sulfonic acids as methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid; Lewis acids, as AICI3, AIBr3, SnCI4 and BF3.
Suitable solvents or diluents for both reaction steps (a) and (b) are for example: aromatic, aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, typically benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, petroleum ether, hexane, cyclohexane, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, dichioroethane or trichloroethane; ethers, typically diethyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether, glyme, diglyme, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; ketones, typically acetone or methyl ethyl ketone; alcohols, typically methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, ethylene glycol or glycerol; esters, typically ethyl acetate or butyl acetate; amides, typically N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide; nitriles, typically acetonitrile; and sulfoxides, typically dimethylsulfoxide.
In a preferred mode the intermediate compound of formula IV is not isolated; according to this procedure compounds of formulae II and III are mixed and reacted together, optionally in presence a solvent and of an acid as described above, until the reaction is completed.
The substituents Ri and/or R2 in ring A may be introduced or interchanged in the compounds of formula I as described in WO 97/33890.
In a particular embodiment of the present invention, Ri and/or R2 in ring A may be introduced or interchanged also on the intermediate compounds of formula IV.
This is particularly advantageous for the preparation of compounds of formula I, wherein Ri and/or R2 are halogen. In this process, a compound of the formula IV, in which Ri and/or R2 are hydrogen, is halogenated prior to reaction step (b).
For example, if Ri is hydrogen and R2 is as defined for formula I, this reaction can be shown by the following scheme:

Particularly preferred are the chlorination and bromination of compounds of formula IV, in which A is thieno and Ri and R are both hydrogen.
Methods for halogenation [step (c)] are described e.g.in WO 97/33890 and include iodination with l2, bromination with NBS (N-Bromsuccinimide) or Br2, chlorination with NCS (N-Chlorosuccinimide) or Cl or SO2CI2, f luorination with FCI or other F* reagents, in solvents as halogenated hydrocarbons, typically chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, dichloroethane or trichloroethane; ethers, typically diethyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether, glyme, diglyme, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, as well as nitrogen containing compounds like triethylamine, piperidine, pyridine, alkylated pyridine, quinoline and isoquinoline.
