Surprisingly, it has now been found that the novel compounds of formula I have, for practical purposes, a very advantageous level of biological activity for protecting plants against diseases that are caused by fungi.
The compounds of formula I can be used in the agricultural sector and related fields of use e.g. as active ingredients for controlling plant pests or on non-living materials for control of spoilage microorganisms or organisms potentially harmful to man. The novel compounds are distinguished by excellent activity at low rates of application, by being well tolerated by plants and by being environmentally safe. They have very useful curative, preventive and systemic properties and may be used for protecting numerous cultivated plants. The compounds of formula I can be used to inhibit or destroy the pests that occur on plants or parts of plants (fruit, blossoms, leaves, stems, tubers, roots) of different crops of useful plants, while at the same time protecting also those parts of the plants that grow later e.g. from phytopathogenic microorganisms.
It is also possible to use compounds of formula I as fungicide. The term "fungicide" as used herein means a compound that controls, modifies, or prevents the growth of fungi. The term "fungicidally effective amount" means the quantity of such a compound or combination of such compounds that is capable of producing an effect on the growth of fungi. Controlling or modifying effects include all deviation from natural development, such as killing, retardation and the like, and prevention includes barrier or other defensive formation in or on a plant to prevent fungal infection.
It is also possible to use compounds of formula I as dressing agents for the treatment of plant propagation material, e.g., seed, such as fruits, tubers or grains, or plant cuttings (for example rice), for the protection against fungal infections as well as against phytopathogenic fungi occurring in the soil. The propagation material can be treated with a composition comprising a compound of formula I before planting: seed, for example, can be dressed before being sown. The active ingredients according to the invention can also be applied to grains (coating), either by impregnating the seeds in a liquid formulation or by coating them with a solid formulation. The composition can also be applied to the planting site when the propagation material is being planted, for example, to the seed furrow during sowing. The invention relates also to such methods of treating plant propagation material and to the plant propagation material so treated.
Furthermore the compounds according to present invention can be used for controlling fungi in related areas, for example in the protection of technical materials, including wood and wood related technical products, in food storage, in hygiene management.
In addition, the invention could be used to protect non-living materials from fungal attack, e.g. lumber, wall boards and paint.

The compounds of formula I can for example, be used for controlling, i. e. containing or destroying, animal pests of the abovementioned type which occur on useful plants in agriculture, in horticulture and in forests, or on organs of useful plants, such as fruits, flowers, foliage, stalks, tubers or roots, and in some cases even on organs of useful plants which are formed at a later point in time remain protected against these animal pests.
Within the scope of present invention, target crops and/or useful plants to be protected typically comprise perennial and annual crops, such as berry plants for example blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and strawberries; cereals for example barley, maize (corn), millet, oats, rice, rye, sorghum triticale and wheat; fibre plants for example cotton, flax, hemp, jute and sisal; field crops for example sugar and fodder beet, coffee, hops, mustard, oilseed rape (canola), poppy, sugar cane, sunflower, tea and tobacco; fruit trees for example apple, apricot, avocado, banana, cherry, citrus, nectarine, peach, pear and plum; grasses for example Bermuda grass, bluegrass, bentgrass, centipede grass, fescue, ryegrass, St.
Augustine grass and Zoysia grass; herbs such as basil, borage, chives, coriander, lavender, lovage, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme; legumes for example beans, lentils, peas and soya beans; nuts for example almond, cashew, ground nut, hazelnut, peanut, pecan, pistachio and walnut; palms for example oil palm; ornamentals for example flowers, shrubs and trees; other trees, for example cacao, coconut, olive and rubber;
vegetables for example asparagus, aubergine, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marrow, melon, okra, onion, pepper, potato, pumpkin, rhubarb, spinach and tomato; and vines for example grapes.
The useful plants and / or target crops in accordance with the invention include conventional as well as genetically enhanced or engineered varieties such as, for example, insect resistant (e.g. Bt. and VIP varieties) as well as disease resistant, herbicide tolerant (e.g. glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® and LibertyLink®) and nematode tolerant varieties. By way of example, suitable genetically enhanced or engineered crop varieties include the Stoneville 5599BR cotton and Stoneville 4892BR cotton varieties.
The term "useful plants" and/or "target crops" is to be understood as including also useful plants that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides like bromoxynil or classes of herbicides (such as, for example, HPPD inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, for example primisulfuron, prosulfuron and trifloxysulfuron, EPSPS (5-enol-pyrovyl-shikimate-3-phosphate-synthase) inhibitors, GS (glutamine synthetase) inhibitors or PPO (protoporphyrinogen-oxidase) inhibitors) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. An example of a crop that has been rendered tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox, by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis) is Clearfield® summer rape (Canola).
Examples of crops that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicides by genetic engineering methods include glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® , Herculex I® and
LibertyLink®.
The term "useful plants" and/or "target crops" is to be understood as including those which naturally are or have been rendered resistant to harmful insects. This includes plants transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, for example, to be capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria. Examples of toxins which can be expressed include δ-endotoxins, vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, and toxins produced by scorpions, arachnids, wasps and fungi. An example of a crop that has been modified to express the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin is the Bt maize KnockOut® (Syngenta Seeds). An example of a crop comprising more than one gene that codes for insecticidal resistance and thus expresses more than one toxin is VipCot® (Syngenta Seeds). Crops or seed material thereof can also be resistant to multiple types of pests (so- called stacked transgenic events when created by genetic modification). For example, a plant can have the ability to express an insecticidal protein while at the same time being herbicide tolerant, for example Herculex I® (Dow AgroSciences, Pioneer Hi-Bred International).
The term "useful plants" and/or "target crops" is to be understood as including also useful plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances having a selective action, such as, for example, the so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225). Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 95/33818, and EP-A-0 353 191 . The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. The term "locus" as used herein means fields in or on which plants are growing, or where seeds of cultivated plants are sown, or where seed will be placed into the soil. It includes soil, seeds, and seedlings, as well as established vegetation.
The term "plants" refers to all physical parts of a plant, including seeds, seedlings, saplings, roots, tubers, stems, stalks, foliage, and fruits.
The term "plant propagation material" is understood to denote generative parts of the plant, such as seeds, which can be used for the multiplication of the latter, and vegetative material, such as cuttings or tubers, for example potatoes. There may be mentioned for example seeds (in the strict sense), roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes and parts of plants. Germinated plants and young plants which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from the soil, may also be mentioned. These young plants may be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion. Preferably "plant propagation material" is understood to denote seeds.
Pesticidal agents referred to herein using their common name are known, for example, from "The Pesticide Manual", 15th Ed., British Crop Protection Council 2009.
The compounds of formula I may be used in unmodified form or, preferably, together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation. To this end they may be conveniently formulated in known manner to emulsifiable concentrates, coatable pastes, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions or suspensions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations e.g. in polymeric substances. As with the type of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering, coating or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances. The compositions may also contain further adjuvants such as stabilizers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders or tackifiers as well as fertilizers, micronutrient donors or other formulations for obtaining special effects.
Suitable carriers and adjuvants, e.g. for agricultural use, can be solid or liquid and are substances useful in formulation technology, e.g. natural or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, thickeners, binders or fertilizers. Such carriers are for example described in WO 97/33890.
The compounds of formula I are normally used in the form of compositions and can be applied to the crop area or plant to be treated, simultaneously or in succession with further compounds. These further compounds can be e.g. fertilizers or micronutrient donors or other preparations, which influence the growth of plants. They can also be selective herbicides or non-selective herbicides as well as insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, molluscicides or mixtures of several of these preparations, if desired together with further carriers, surfactants or application promoting adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation. The compounds of formula I may be used in the form of (fungicidal) compositions for controlling or protecting against phytopathogenic microorganisms, comprising as active ingredient at least one compound of formula I or of at least one preferred individual compound as above-defined, in free form or in agrochemically usable salt form, and at least one of the above-mentioned adjuvants.
The invention provides a composition, preferably a fungicidal composition, comprising at least one compound formula I an agriculturally acceptable carrier and optionally an adjuvant. An agricultural acceptable carrier is for example a carrier that is suitable for agricultural use. Agricultural carriers are well known in the art. Preferably said composition may comprise at least one or more pesticidally active compounds, for example an additional fungicidal active ingredient in addition to the compound of formula I.
The compound of formula (I) may be the sole active ingredient of a composition or it may be admixed with one or more additional active ingredients such as a pesticide, fungicide, synergist, herbicide or plant growth regulator where appropriate. An additional active ingredient may, in some cases, result in unexpected synergistic activities.

Another aspect of invention is related to the use of a compound of formula I or of a preferred individual compound as above-defined, of a composition comprising at least one compound of formula I or at least one preferred individual compound as above-defined, or of a fungicidal or insecticidal mixture comprising at least one compound of formula I or at least one preferred individual compound as above-defined, in admixture with other fungicides or insecticides as described above, for controlling or preventing infestation of plants, e.g. useful plants such as crop plants, propagation material thereof, e.g. seeds, harvested crops, e.g. harvested food crops, or non-living materials by insects or by phytopathogenic
microorganisms, preferably fungal organisms.
A further aspect of invention is related to a method of controlling or preventing an infestation of plants, e.g. useful plants such as crop plants, propagation material thereof, e.g. seeds, harvested crops, e.g. harvested food crops, or of non-living materials by insects or by phytopathogenic or spoilage microorganisms or organisms potentially harmful to man, especially fungal organisms, which comprises the application of a compound of formula I or of a preferred individual compound as above-defined as active ingredient to the plants, to parts of the plants or to the locus thereof, to the propagation material thereof, or to any part of the non-living materials.
Controlling or preventing means reducing infestation by insects or by phytopathogenic or spoilage microorganisms or organisms potentially harmful to man, especially fungal organisms, to such a level that an improvement is demonstrated.
A preferred method of controlling or preventing an infestation of crop plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, especially fungal organisms, or insects which comprises the application of a compound of formula I, or an agrochemical composition which contains at least one of said compounds, is foliar application. The frequency of application and the rate of application will depend on the risk of infestation by the corresponding pathogen or insect. However, the compounds of formula I can also penetrate the plant through the roots via the soil (systemic action) by drenching the locus of the plant with a liquid formulation, or by applying the compounds in solid form to the soil, e.g. in granular form (soil application). In crops of water rice such granulates can be applied to the flooded rice field. The compounds of formula I may also be applied to seeds (coating) by impregnating the seeds or tubers either with a liquid formulation of the fungicide or coating them with a solid formulation.
A formulation, e.g. a composition containing the compound of formula I, and, if desired, a solid or liquid adjuvant or monomers for encapsulating the compound of formula I, may be prepared in a known manner, typically by intimately mixing and/or grinding the compound with extenders, for example solvents, solid carriers and, optionally, surface active
compounds (surfactants).
Advantageous rates of application are normally from 5g to 2kg of active ingredient (a.i.) per hectare (ha), preferably from 10g to 1 kg a.i./ha, most preferably from 20g to 600g a.i./ha. When used as seed drenching agent, convenient dosages are from 10mg to 1 g of active substance per kg of seeds.
When the combinations of the present invention are used for treating seed, rates of 0.001 to 50 g of a compound of formula I per kg of seed, preferably from 0.01 to 10g per kg of seed are generally sufficient.
The compositions of the invention may be employed in any conventional form, for example in the form of a twin pack, a powder for dry seed treatment (DS), an emulsion for seed treatment (ES), a flowable concentrate for seed treatment (FS), a solution for seed treatment (LS), a water dispersible powder for seed treatment (WS), a capsule suspension for seed treatment (CF), a gel for seed treatment (GF), an emulsion concentrate (EC), a suspension concentrate (SC), a suspo-emulsion (SE), a capsule suspension (CS), a water dispersible granule (WG), an emulsifiable granule (EG), an emulsion, water in oil (EO), an emulsion, oil in water (EW), a micro-emulsion (ME), an oil dispersion (OD), an oil miscible flowable (OF), an oil miscible liquid (OL), a soluble concentrate (SL), an ultra-low volume suspension (SU), an ultra-low volume liquid (UL), a technical concentrate (TK), a dispersible concentrate (DC), a wettable powder (WP) or any technically feasible formulation in combination with agriculturally acceptable adjuvants.
Such compositions may be produced in conventional manner, e.g. by mixing the active ingredients with appropriate formulation inerts (diluents, solvents, fillers and optionally other formulating ingredients such as surfactants, biocides, anti-freeze, stickers, thickeners and compounds that provide adjuvancy effects). Also conventional slow release formulations may be employed where long lasting efficacy is intended. Particularly formulations to be applied in spraying forms, such as water dispersible concentrates (e.g. EC, SC, DC, OD, SE, EW, EO and the like), wettable powders and granules, may contain surfactants such as wetting and dispersing agents and other compounds that provide adjuvancy effects, e.g. the ondensation product of formaldehyde with naphthalene sulphonate, an alkylarylsulphonate, a lignin sulphonate, a fatty alkyl sulphate, and ethoxylated alkylphenol and an ethoxylated fatty alcohol. A seed dressing formulation is applied in a manner known per se to the seeds employing the combination of the invention and a diluent in suitable seed dressing formulation form, e.g. as an aqueous suspension or in a dry powder form having good adherence to the seeds. Such seed dressing formulations are known in the art. Seed dressing formulations may contain the single active ingredients or the combination of active ingredients in encapsulated form, e.g. as slow release capsules or microcapsules.
In general, the formulations include from 0.01 to 90% by weight of active agent, from 0 to 20% agriculturally acceptable surfactant and 10 to 99.99% solid or liquid formulation inerts and adjuvant(s), the active agent consisting of at least the compound of formula I together with component (B) and (C), and optionally other active agents, particularly microbiocides or conservatives or the like. Concentrated forms of compositions generally contain in between about 2 and 80%, preferably between about 5 and 70% by weight of active agent. Application forms of formulation may for example contain from 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 5% by weight of active agent. Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ diluted formulations.

To a mixture of 2-phenyloxirane (7.00 g 58.3 mmol) and propan-2-ol (100 ml) was added, under nitrogen, iodine (1 .48 g, 5.83 mmol) at 20 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The solvent was then removed under vacuum. The crude reaction mixture was taken up with ether (50 ml) and washed with an aqueous solution of Na2S203 until the yellow color of iodine disappeared. The organic layer was dried on magnesium sulphate and then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/cyclohexane : 1/10) to obtain 2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethanol. b) Preparation of 5-bromo-2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid
2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethanol (1 .28 g, 7.12 mmol) was added to a room temperature suspension of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 285 mg, 7.12 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and 2,5-dibromopyridne-3-carboxylic acid (1 g, 3.56 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 12 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the pH was adjusted to 3 by the addition of 3N aqueous HCI. The mixture was poured into brine ad extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using a gradient of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate to give 5-bromo-2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid. c) Preparation of tert-butyl 2-[[5-bromo-2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)pyridine-3- carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoate
Terf-butyl 2-amino-2-methylpropanoate hydrochloride (379 mg, 1 .84 mmol), 1 - [Bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1 H-1 ,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxid
hexafluorophosphate (884 mg, 2.21 mmol), N-ethyl-N-isopropyl-propan-2-amine (476 mg, 3.68 mmol), 5-bromo-2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (700 mg, 1 .84 mmol) were mixed together in dimethylformamide (18 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours before it was quenched with an aqueous saturated solution of NaHC03 (30 ml). The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml) and the organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was passed through a column of silica gel using cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (2/1 ) as eluent. This provide tert-butyl 2-[[5-bromo-2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)pyridine-3-carbonyl]amino]-2- methyl-propanoate. d) Preparation of tert-butyl 2-[[2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3- carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoate
A solution of tert-butyl 2-[[2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3- carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoate (830 mg, 1.59 mmol), lithium chloride (67.5 mg, 1.59 mmol), copper(l) iodide (31.9 mg, 0.159 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (194 mg, 0.159 mmol), and 2-(tributylstannyl)oxazole (1.16 g, 3.18 mmol) in 1 ,4 dioxane (20 ml) was stirred under nitrogen at 130 °C for 4 hours. The reaction was monitored by UPLC. Fresh tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) was then added and the reaction mixture was stir for a further 2 hours at 130 °C. The reaction mixture was then cooled down to ambient temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up with ethyl acetate (50 ml) and washed thorough twice with aqueous sodium hydroxide (1 N, 20 ml). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum and absorbed onto isolute. A pad of 5 mm of KF powder was added on the loading cartridge. The sample was therefore purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with a gradient of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane to give tert-butyl 2-[[2-(2- isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3-carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoate. e) Preparation of 2-[[2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3- carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoic acid; 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid tert-butyl 2-[[2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3- carbonyl]amino]-2-methyl-propanoate (170 mg, 0.33 mmol) was diluted in dichloromethane (5 ml), trifluoroacetic acid (2 ml) was therefore added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the crude material was used as such into the next step. f) Preparation of preparation of N-(1 ,1 -dimethyl-2-morpholino-2-oxo-ethyl)-2-(2-isopropoxy- 2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3-carboxamide (Compound I. ad.464)
2-[[2-(2-isopropoxy-2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3-carbonyl]amino]-2- methyl-propanoic acid; 2,2,2-trifluoroacetic acid (180 mg), 1 -[Bis(dimethylamino)methylene]- 1 H-1 ,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxid hexafluorophosphate (68 mg, 0.17 mmol), N-ethyl- N-isopropyl-propan-2-amine (73 mg, 0.56 mmol), morpholine (18 mg, 0.21 mmol) were mixed together in dichloromethane (5 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight before it was quenched with an aqueous saturated solution of
NaHC03 (5 ml). The chlorinated phase was isolated and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was passed through a column of silica gel using cyclohexane/ethyl acetate as eluent. This provided N-(1 ,1 -dimethyl-2-morpholino-2-oxo-ethyl)-2-(2-isopropoxy- 2-phenyl-ethoxy)-5-oxazol-2-yl-pyridine-3-carboxamide (Compound I. ad.464). Whereas it is preferred to formulate commercial products as concentrates, the end user will normally use dilute formulations.
