Definitions

• the present invention relates to a fungicidal compound of formula (I).
• the present invention more particularly relates to a process for preparation of fungicidal sulfenyl phthalimides compound of formula (I) substantially free from unwanted impurity.
• Sulfenyl phthalimides developed in the 1950s at Standard Oil are one of the oldest groups of fungicides and are effective, safe and persistent.
• Captan N- (trichloromethylthio)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydrophthalimide
• Captafol N-[l,l,2,2- tetrachloroethylthiol] -4-cyclohexene- 1,2-dicarboximide
• Folpet N- [trichloromethylthio] phthalimide, are the three Sulfenyl phthalimides possessing antifungal activity.
• Phthalimide and N-substituted phthalimides are an important class of compounds because they possess important biological activities the identifiable structural features for their activity are as: hydrophobic aryl ring, a hydrogen bonding domain, an electron-donor group, another distal hydrophobic site.
• Some synthetic reactions for preparation of phthalimide moiety includes (1) The Mathews’ reaction in which a ‘dry’ hydrolysis of nitriles by phthalic acid or amides by phthalic anhydride takes place and give the corresponding carboxylic acid and phthalimide; (2) reaction of dicarboxylic acids or their corresponding anhydrides with reagents bearing a reactive amino (-NH2) functional group, through a nucleophilic attack of amino group to a anhydride moiety to obtain aromatic or aliphatic cyclic imides and their derivatives; (3) a general synthetic pathway for the synthesis of imides by direct condensation using cyclic anhydrides or their corresponding dicarboxylic acids and form amide which is a simple affordable reagent.
• sulfenyl phthalimides can also serve as solvent, especially for aliphatic imides;
• a preferred method of preparation of sulfenyl phthalimides is reaction of the metal Salt of an imide with perchloromethyl mercaptan (CISCCI3) in an organic solvent.
• CISCCI3 perchloromethyl mercaptan
• synthesis of sulfenyl phthalimide compound, captan is easily possible by Diels-Alder cycloaddition of maleic anhydride with butadiene to the tetrahydrophthalic anhydride , which is then converted with ammonia to the tetrahydrophthalimide.
• alkylation of the imide nitrogen atom with perchloromethyl mercaptan delivers Captan.
• Folpet and captan are phthalimide based agricultural fungicides that have been in use for over 60 years.
• the active moiety of each parent chemical is the trichloromethylthio functional group, SCCI3 which is a toxophore group.
• the toxophore group, CCI3 — S — is obtained from trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride, also known as perchloromethyl mercaptan.
• Both folpet and captan are degraded to the reactive substance thiophosgene, along with relatively stable ring structures.
• Folpet degrades to phthalimide (PI) and thiophosgene (SCCI2); captan degrades to 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI) and thiophosgene.
• PI and THPI are relatively stable.
• Captan is a non-systemic fungicide used to control diseases of many fruit, ornamental, and vegetable crops. It is used in agricultural production as well as by the home gardener. Captan can be used to control plant diseases such as black rot, early and late blight, and downy mildew, among others. Captan works by coming into contact with a fungus and interrupting a key process in its life cycle. It can be toxic to many different fungal diseases. Captan is non-systemic, which means it is not expected to move through plants. It is applied to packing and shipping boxes for fruits and vegetables. Captan is used as a preservative for awnings, draperies and leather, as a root dip and seed treatment and is incorporated into paints, wallpaper pastes, plastic and leather goods.
• Folpet a chloroalkylthio compound with broad spectrum protectant fungicide (N-(trichloromethylthio) phth alimide, has been in use for the last several decades. Folpet is predominantly used in agronomic practice along with other industrial applications today.
• Carbon tetrachloride is toxic to the central nervous system and liver. It is severely hepatotoxic, particularly following ingestion. Liver cell damage is apparently caused by a free radical generated in the process of initial dechlorination. Kidney injury also occurs. Cardiac arrhythmias, progressing to fibrillation, may follow inhalation of high concentrations of carbon tetrachloride or ingestion of the liquid. Carbon tetrachloride impairs the NADPH-dependent oxidative enzymes in liver microsomes by causing irreversible damage to cytochrome P-450. It does not act as a competitive inhibitor.
• Carbon tetrachloride also contributes to the destruction of the Earth's ozone layer, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
• Carbon tetrachloride (CCU) is an ozone-depleting substance, accounting for about 10% of the chlorine in the troposphere. Under the terms of the Montreal Protocol, its production for dispersive uses was banned under the Montreal Protocol since 2010.

Also, effect of addition of sodium chloride and potassium chloride to improve the yield of the final product is also disclosed in the said patent. However, patent does not disclose anything about impurity as well as its amount in the final product.
