Description

[0001] The present patent application has been filed under 35 U.S.C. 371 as a national stage application of PCT/EP2004/000058, filed Jan. 8, 2004, which was published in German as International Patent Publication WO 2004/065402 on Aug. 5, 2004, and is entitled to the right of priority of German Patent Application 103 01 519.1, filed Jan. 17, 2003.

[0002] The present invention relates to derivatives of 9-keto spinosyns, which are substituted by a ═N—(O, NH or NR_x)—R_ymoiety in the C-9 position, methods for their manufacture, and their use for controlling animal pests.

[0003] Spinosyns are known compounds; they are fermentation products, which are manufactured from the cultures of the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa.

[0004] Synthetic preparations for the manufacture of spinosyn derivatives were described by Martynow, J. G. and Kirst, H. A. in J. Org. Chem. 1994, 59, 1548. In this publication, both the 9,17-diketone of the spinosyn aglycone and the 17-keto derivative of the spinosyn aglycone are mentioned. The spinosyn-17-pseudoaglycone and spinosyn-9-pseudoaglycone are disclosed in WO 97/00265 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,001,981. The manufacture of additional derivatives is described in these texts, which are obtainable with semi synthetic methods starting from natural products. The spinosyn-9-pseudoaglycone derivative, which is oxidised into ketone at the C-9 position, is also known as an insecticide compound, for example, and was produced through chemical derivatisation (see. WO 97/00265 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,001,981).

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide new derivatives of 9-keto spinosyns. An additional object of the present invention is to provide methods that are suitable for the manufacture of these derivatives.

[0006] The present invention relates to compounds according to the general formula (I)

[0058] The 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the invention according to the general formula (I) and their salts can exist in stereoisomer forms, which either behave as an object and a mirror image of that object (enantiomers), or not as an object and a mirror image of that object (diastereomers). The enantiomers and the diastereomers, and their corresponding mixtures are all subjects of the present invention. The racemic forms can be separated into stereomers with uniform components according to a known method, as can the diastereomers. If necessary, the isomers can be converted into one another using methods known in their own right.

[0059] However, the optically active, stereoisomer forms of the compounds according to the general formula (I) and their salts are preferably formed and utilised, according to the invention.

[0060] The invention therefore relates to both the pure enantiomers and diastereomers, and their mixtures for use as plant protection agents.

[0061] The compounds according to the invention, in which R¹stands for an amino sugar shown in the formulae 1a to 1f, and/or R³stands for a basic moiety, can form salts. Suitable salts of the 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (I) can be customary non-toxic salts, i.e. salts with various bases, and salts with additional acids. Examples of preferable salts are those with inorganic bases, such as alkali metal salts, for example sodium, potassium, or caesium salts, earth alkali metal salts, for example calcium or magnesium salts, ammonium salts, salts with organic bases as well as with inorganic amines, for example triethylammonium, dicyclohexylammonium, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediammonium, pyridinium, picolinium or ethanol ammonium salts, salts with inorganic acids, for example hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, dihydrosulphates, trihydrosulphates, or phosphates, salts with organic carboxylic acids or organic sulphonic acids, for example formiates, acetates, trifluoroacetates, maleates, tartrates, methanesulphonates, benzolsulphonates or para-toluene sulphonates, salts with basic amino acids, for example arginates, aspartates or glutamates, and similar salts.

[0062] Salts are formed according to the standard method for salt production. For example, the compounds according to the invention are neutralised with corresponding acids, in order to form acid addition salts. Representative usable acid addition salts are salts, which are formed, for example, through reaction with other inorganic acids, such as, for example, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, or organic carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, maleic acid, camphoric acid, phthalic acid, glycolic acid, glutaric acid, stearic acid, salicylic acid, sorbinic acid, cinnamic acid, picric acid, benzoic acid, or organic sulphonic acids such as methane sulphonic acids and para-toluene sulphonic acids, or with basic amino acids such as asparagine acid, glutaminic acid, arginine or similar acids.

[0063] Examples of the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the invention according to the general formula (I) are listed below in Groups 1 to 94:

[0302] Another subject of the present invention is a method for the manufacture of the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (I),

[0303]

where

[0304] R¹, R², R³, X and A-B have the meanings indicated previously,
in which the 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (II)

[0305]

where

[0306] R¹, R³and A-B have the meanings indicated previously,
are reacted with amino compounds according to the general formula (III)
H₂N—X—R² (III)
where
[0307] R²and X have the meanings indicated previously,

[0308] in the presence of a basic additive and possibly in the presence of a diluent.

[0309] Methods for the introduction of possibly substituted imino functions are sufficiently known from literature (see A. Lachman, Org. Synth., Coll. Vol. II, 1943, p. 70; W. L. Semon, Org. Synth., Coll. Vol. 1, 1941, p. 318; Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Bd. X/4, G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart New York, p. 55).

[0310] It was then surprisingly found that the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according the the invention according to the general formula (I) could also be obtained via carbonyl reaction from corresponding 9-keto spinosyn derivatives with amino compounds according to the general formula (II).

[0311] In the following section, the method according to the invention will be explained on the basis of selected examples (also see Examples of Manufacture).

[0312] If 9-keto spinosyn A-aglycone (R¹═—H, R³═—H, A-B═—HC═CH—) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (II) and O-(4-phenoxy-benzyl)-hydroxylamine (X═O, R²: —CH₂—C₆H₄—O—C₆H₅) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (III) for the manufacture of the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (I) according to the invention-related method, the method can be shown by the following reaction diagram in FIG. 1:

[0313]

[0314] If 17-β-desosaminyl-9-keto spinosyn A-aglycone (R¹=D-desosaminyl, R³═—H, A-B═—HC═CH—) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (II) and O-(4-amino-benzyl)-hydroxylamine (X═O, R²: —CH₂—C₆H₄—NH₂) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (III) in another embodiment of the method according to the invention for the manufacture of the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (I), the method can be shown by the following reaction diagram in FIG. 2:

[0315]

[0316] With the use of the amino compounds according to the general formula (III) in the method according to the invention, the compounds according to the general formula (Ia) can occur as a mixture of the (E)-isomer (anti form) and (Z)-isomer (syn form).

[0317] If 9-keto spinosyn A-aglycone (R¹═—H, R³═—H, A-B═—HC═CH—) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (II) and N-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl-semicarbazide (X═NH, R²═—CO—NH—C₆H₄—OCF₃) is utilised as a compound according to the general formula (III) in another embodiment of the method according to the invention for the manufacture of the new 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (I), the method can be shown by the following reaction diagram in FIG. 3:

[0318]

[0319] With the use of the amino compounds according to the general formula (III) in the method according to the invention, the compounds according to the general formula (Ia) can occur as a mixture of the (E)-isomer (anti form) and (Z)-isomer (syn form).

[0320] The 9-keto spinosyn derivatives required as initial substances for performing the method according to the invention are generally defined by formula (II).

[0321] In formula (II), R¹and A-B preferably stand for the moieties, which were already mentioned, in conjunction with the description of the compounds according to the invention according to the general formula (I), as being preferred for this substituent or the group.

[0322] The 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (II) used as initial substances, where R³stands for hydrogen, are known from a previous patent, and can be respectively obtained via selective oxidation using chemical and biochemical methods (see WO 02/079184).

[0323] The 9-keto spinosyn derivatives according to the general formula (II) used as initial substances, in which R³stands for hydroxy, can be obtained via selective and/or stereospecific hydroxylation, for example, i.e. by way of bioconversion using suitable microorganisms or their enzymes.

[0324] In particular, compounds according to the general formula (IIa)

[0325]

where

[0326] A-B and R¹have the meanings indicated above,
can be obtained by bringing compounds according to the general formula (IIb)

[0327]

where

[0328] A-B and R¹have the meanings indicated above,
into contact with a microorganism in an aqueous culture medium under aerobic conditions.

[0329] The compounds according to the general formula (IIb) are known (see Creemer L. C. et al., 1998, J. Antibiotics 51 (8): 795-800; Sparks T. C. et al., 1998, J. Econ. Entomol. 91 (6): 1277-1283; Sparks T. C. et al., 2000, Pestic. Biochem. Physiol. 67 (3): 187-197; Paquette L. A. et al., 1998, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120 (11): 2553-2563; Evans D. A. et al., 1993, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 115 (11): 4497-4513; Crouse G. D. et al., 2001, Pest. Manag. Sci. 57 (2): 177-185; Creemer L. C. et al., 2000, J. Antibiotics 53 (2): 171-178; Sparks T. C. et al., 2000, Proc.-Beltwide Cotton Conf. Vol. 2: 1225-1229) or can be produced according to the method described in WO 01/16303. In a similar manner, the initial compounds to be used in the method described above can be obtained on the basis of the corresponding natural spinosyns (see PCT/EP02/07572).

[0330] For example, one of the following strains can be used for this method, which are on deposit at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ) (German Collection of Microorgansims and Cell Cultures), Mascheroder Weg 1b, D-38124 Braunschweig, Germany, in accordance with the requirements of the Budapest Treaty:

[0331]


	Name	Deposit Number

	Streptomyces djakartensis	DSM 14327
	Streptomyces griseofuscus	DSM 14330
	Streptomyces caelestis	DSM 14328
	Streptomyces antibioticus	DSM 14329
	Streptomyces griseus	DSM 14331
	Streptomyces aureofaciens	DSM 14332

[0332] The aqueous culture medium typically contains an assimilable carbon source and an assimilable nitrogen source.

[0333] The compounds according to formula (IIa) are produced, for example, when one of the following strains are fermented in an aqueous culture medium under aerobic conditions in the presence of compounds according to formula (IIb): Streptomyces djakartensis, S. griseofuscus, S. caelestis, S. antibioticus, S. griseus or S. aureofaciens. The microorganisms are typically fermented in a culture medium, which contains a carbon source and possibly a protein-like material. Preferred carbon sources include glucose, brown sugar, saccharose, glycerine, starch, cornstarch, lactose, dextrin, molasses, etc. Preferred nitrogen sources include cottonseed flour, yeast, autolysed bakers yeast, solid milk components, soybean flour, maize flour, pancreatic or papain digested decomposition products from casein, solid distillation components, stocks from animal peptone, pieces of meat and pieces of bone, etc. Preferably combinations of these carbon sources and nitrogen sources are used. Trace elements, e.g. zinc, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, iron, etc., do not have to be added to the cultivation medium, as long as tap water and unpurified components are used as components in the medium.

[0334] The production of the compounds according to the general formula (IIa) can be induced at any temperature that guarantees sufficient growth of the microorganisms. The temperature is preferably between 21° C. and 32° C., particularly preferably approximately 28° C. In general, optimal production of the compounds according to formula (IIa) is obtained from 2 to 4 days after the compounds according to formula (IIb) are added to the culture. The production of the compounds according to the invention can take place both in shake flasks and in stirred fermentors.

[0335] Various methods can be used in order to isolate the compounds from the fermentation broth and to purify them, e.g. preparative gel chromatography, reversed phase preparative chromatography or preparative absorption chromatography. Detection can occur using UV-absorption or mass spectrometry, for example.

[0336] Compounds according to the general formula (II), in which R¹stands for an amino sugar shown in formula 1d or 1e, and R³and A-B have the meanings indicated above, are novel and are a subject of the present invention.

[0337] Compounds according to the general formula (II), in which R¹stands for an amino sugar shown in formula 1a, R³stands for hydrogen or hydroxy, and A-B stands for one of the following groups: —HC═C(CH₃)—, —H₂C—CH₂— or —H₂C—CH(CH₃)—, are novel and are a subject of the present invention.

[0338] The additional initial substances of the amino compounds used for carrying out the method according to the invention are defined by the general formula (III).

[0339] In formula (III), X and R²have the meanings that were already mentioned, in conjunction with the description of the compounds according to the invention according to the general formula (I), as being preferred for this substituent.

[0340] The amino compounds according to formula (III) are partially commercially available, some of them are known, and can they be obtained according to known methods (e.g. see hetaryl-methoxamine: U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,680; DE-A 21 19 012, alkoxyamine: EP-A 495 750; DE-A 22 06 890; D. Favara et al., Farmaco, Ed. Sci. 42 (10), 1987, p. 697).

[0341] A general method for the manufacture of aminoxy compounds (R²—X—, where X═O) according to formula (III), for example, consists in reacting a hydroxylamine derivative, which exhibits a protective group on the nitrogen (e.g. R′ and R″ together: phthaloyl group, isopropylidene group, α-hydroxy-benzylidene group), with a compound R²-E (O-alkylation) in a diluent, and the protective group is subsequently separated. In the R²-E compound, R²has the same meaning as indicated previously, and E stands for a nucleofuge leaving group, for example aliphatically or aromatically substituted sulphonyloxy, e.g. methanesulphonyloxy, salts of the sulphonic acid, p-toluene-sulphonyloxy (tosyloxy), and also halogen, for example, particularly bromine, chlorine or iodine (see O-alkylation). In FIG. 4 below, the production of amino compounds according to formula (III) is shown (R²—X, where X═O):

[0342]

[0343] Alternatively, an intermolecular dehydration reaction can be performed by using a hydroxy compound, (R²—OH, in FIG. 4, E═OH) for example. In particular, a variant of the Mitsunobu reaction comes under consideration (see Synthesis 1976, p. 682), in which the hydroxy compounds are reacted with N-protected hydroxylamine derivatives, such as N-hydroxyphthalimide, N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imide or acethydroxamic acid ethyl ester, as well as triphenylphosphine and N,N′-azodicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, for example.

[0344] The compounds according to formula (III) can be purposefully released in the following manner: the hydrazinolysis can preferably take place in a diluent, for example alcohol, at boiling temperature. Hydrolysis can preferably be carried out in an aqueous, aqueous-alcohol or alcohol solution by heating it for several hours. If R′ and R″ together designate an isopropylidene group, acidic hydrolysis can be used, and if R′ and R″ together designate an a-hydroxy-benzylidene group or if R″ designates a carbethoxy group, both alkaline and acidic hydrolysis can be used (see DE-A 21 19 012; D. Favara et al., Farmaco, Ed. Sci. 42 (10), (1987) p. 697).

[0345] For the production of the salts, inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid in ethanolic or isopropanolic solution are preferably used.

[0346] According to the invention, a possibly substituted aryl moiety or arylalkyl moiety can stand for the R²moiety, if necessary. If R²stands for an amino-substituted aryl moiety or arylalkyl moiety, the aromatic NH₂group can be modified according to generally known methods. It can be advantageous for the acylation reactions, alkylation reactions or sulphonylation reactions to already take place in the protected intermediate R′R″N—O—R²in the presence of basic reaction additives and in the presence of a suitable diluent. The compounds according to the general formula (IIIa) can be released according to the methods described above (also see FIG. 5):

[0347]

[0348] A general method for the manufacture of aminoxy compounds (R²—X—, where X═NH, NR⁴) according to formula (Ill) consists in, for example, reacting a suitable primary or secondary amino compound with an N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) transfer reagent, e.g. the commercially available N-Boc-3-(4-cyanophenyl)oxaziridine (BCPO), according to known methods (J. Vidal et al., J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1991, 435-437; J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 4791-4793). Alternatively, the commercially available N-(Boc-amino)phthalimide or N-(benzyloxycarbonyl-amino)phthalimide can be used as suitable initial components (N. Brosse et al., J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 2869). The R²moiety can be introduced via a Mitsunobu reaction or N-alkylation. After separating the protective groups (Boc, benzyloxycarbonyl), the hydrazines can be utilised for the reaction according to the invention (also see FIG. 6).

[0349]

[0419] The active compounds according to the invention also have very good fortifying action in plants. Accordingly, they can be used for mobilizing the defences of the plant against attack by undesirable microorganisms.

[0420] In the present context, plant-fortifying (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning those substances, which are capable of stimulating the defence system of plants such that, when the treated plants are subsequently innoculated with undesirable microorganisms, they show substantial resistance against these microorganisms.

[0421] In the present case, undesirable microorganisms are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Accordingly, the substances according to the invention can be used to protect plants for a certain period after the treatment against attack by the pathogens mentioned. The period for which protection is provided generally extends over 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.

[0422] The fact that the active compounds are well tolerated by plants at the concentrations required for controlling plant diseases permits the treatment of aboveground parts of plants, of propagation stock and seeds, and of the soil.

[0423] The active compounds according to the invention can be used to treat all plants and parts of plants. By plants are understood here all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimisation methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or cannot be protected by varietal property rights. Parts of plants are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants, such as the shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit-bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. Parts of plants also include harvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds. Parts of plants also include harvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds.

[0424] Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivated plants, which are in each case commercially available or in use, are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivated plants are to be understood as meaning plants having new properties (“traits”) and which have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivated plants, varieties, bio- or genotypes.

[0425] Depending on the plant species or plant cultivated plants, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, nutrition), the treatment according to the invention may also result in super-additive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible, which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.

[0426] The transgenic plants or plant cultivated plants (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering), which are preferably treated according to the invention, include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particularly advantageous useful properties (“traits”) to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasised are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinafter referred to as “Bt plants”). Traits that are also particularly emphasised are the increased defence of the plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosates or phosphinotricin (for example the “PAT” gene). The genes, which impart the desired traits in question, can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of “Bt plants” which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties, which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosates, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylureas, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance), which may be mentioned, include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivated plants having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which will be developed and/or marketed in the future.

[0427] The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the compounds according to the general formula (I) or the active substance mixtures according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for the active compounds and mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the compounds or mixture specifically mentioned in the present text.

[0428] The treatment of the plants and the parts of plants with the active compounds according to the invention is carried out directly or by action on their surroundings, habitat or storage space, according to customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating, atomising, strewing, spreading and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, further with single or multi-layer coating.

[0429] In the protection of materials, the compounds according to the invention can be employed for protecting industrial materials against infection with, and destruction by, undesired microorganisms.

[0430] Industrial materials in the present context are understood as meaning non-living materials that have been prepared for use in industry. For example, industrial materials, which are intended to be protected by active compounds according to the invention from microbial change or destruction, can be adhesives, glues, paper and cardboard, textiles, leather, wood, paints and plastic articles, cooling lubricants and other materials which can be infected with, or destroyed by, microorganisms. Parts of production plants, for example cooling-water circuits, which may be impaired by the proliferation of microorganisms may also be mentioned within the scope of the materials to be protected. Industrial materials, which may be mentioned within the scope of the present invention, are preferably adhesives, glues, paper and cardboard, leather, wood, paints, cooling lubricants and heat-transfer liquids, particularly preferably wood.

[0431] Microorganisms capable of degrading or changing the industrial materials are, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. The active compounds according to the invention preferably act against fungi, in particular moulds, wood-discolouring and wood-destroying fungi (Basidiomycetes), and against slime organisms and algae.

[0432] Microorganisms of the following genera may be mentioned as examples:

[0433] Alternaria, such as Alternaria tenuis;

[0434] Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus niger;

[0435] Chaetomium, such as Chaetomium globosum;

[0436] Coniophora, such as Coniophora puetana;

[0437] Lentinus, such as Lentinus tigrinus;

[0442] Trichoderma, such as Trichoderma viride;

[0443] Escherichia, such as Escherichia coli;

[0444] Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa;

[0445] Staphylococcus, such as Staphylococcus aureus.

[0446] Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols and micro-encapsulations in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seeds, and ULV cool and warm fogging formulations.

[0447] These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foaming agents. If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulphoxide, as well as water. Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are to be understood as meaning liquids which are gaseous at standard temperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants such as halogenated hydrocarbons, or else butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Suitable solid carriers are: for example, ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals such as highly disperse silicic acid, aluminium oxide and silicates. Suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Suitable emulsifiers and/or foaming agents are: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, or else protein hydrolysates. Suitable dispersants are: for example, lignosulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

[0448] Bonding agents such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latex-forming polymers, such as Gum Arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.

[0449] It is possible to use colourants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and cyan blue, and organic dyes such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

[0450] The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95 percent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

[0451] The active compounds according to the invention can be used as such or in their formulations, also in a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides, to broaden, for example, the activity spectrum or to prevent development of resistance. In many cases, synergistic effects are obtained, i.e. the activity of the mixture is greater than the activity of the individual components.

[0483] as well as other preparations, which contain plant extracts effective as insecticides, nematodes, fungi or viruses.

[0484] A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth regulators, safeners or semiochemicals is also possible.

[0485] In addition, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention also have very good antimycotic activity. They have a very broad antimycotic activity spectrum in particular against dermatophytes and yeasts, moulds and diphasic fungi, (for example against Candida species, such as Candida albicans, Candida glabrata), and Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus species, such as Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton species, such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporon species such as Microsporon canis and audouinii. The list of these fungi by no means covers the entire extent of the mycotic spectrum covered, but is only for illustration.

[0486] When the active substances according to the invention are used as fungicides, the application rate can be varied within a large range depending on the type of application. When treating plant parts, the application rates of the active substance are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 10 and 1,000 g/ha. When treating seeds, the application rates of the active substance are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seeds, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seeds. When treating soil, the application rates of the active substance are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 1 and 5,000 g/ha.

[0487] When used as insecticides, the active substances according to the invention can furthermore be present in their commercial formulations and in the forms of use prepared from these formulations, in mixtures with synergists. Synergists are compounds which increase the activity of the active compounds, without it being necessary for the added synergist to be active itself.

[0488] When used as insecticides, the active substances according to the invention can furthermore be present in their commercial formulations and in the forms of use prepared from these formulations, in mixtures with inhibitors, which reduce decomposition of the active substance after application in the vicinity of the plant, on the surface of plant parts or in plant tissue.

[0489] The application is carried out in a manner that is adapted to the form of use.

[0490] When used against hygiene pests and stored product pests, the active substance is distinguished by excellent residual activity on wood and clay, and by good alkaline stability on limed substrates.

[0491] The active substances according to the invention act not only against plant, hygiene and stored product pests, but also in the veterinary medicine sector against animal parasites (ectoparasites), such as hard ticks, soft ticks, mange mites, leaf mites, flies (biting and licking), parasitic fly larvae, lice, hair lice, feather lice and fleas. These parasites include:

[0492] From the order of Anoplurida, for example, Haematopinus spp., Linognathus spp., Pediculus spp., Phtirus spp., Solenopotes spp.

[0499] From the order of Actinedida (Prostigmata) und Acaridida (Astigmata), for example, Acarapis spp., Cheyletiella spp., Ornithocheyletia spp., Myobia spp., Psorergates spp., Demodex spp., Trombicula spp., Listrophorus spp., Acarus spp., Tyrophagus spp., Caloglyphus spp., Hypodectes spp., Pterolichus spp., Psoroptes spp., Chorioptes spp., Otodectes spp., Sarcoptes spp., Notoedres spp., Knemidocoptes spp., Cytodites spp., Laminosioptes spp.

[0500] The Active substances according to the invention according to formula (I) are also suitable for controlling arthropods which attack agricultural livestock such as, for example, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, donkeys, camels, buffalo, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, honey bees, other domestic animals such as, for example, dogs, cats, caged birds, aquarium fish and so-called experimental animals such as, for example, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and mice. By controlling these arthropods, cases of death and reductions in productivity (for meat, milk, wool, hides, eggs, honey and the like) should be diminished, so that more economical and simpler animal husbandry is possible with the use of the active compounds according to the invention

[0501] The active substances according to the invention are used in the veterinary sector in a known manner via enteral administration in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, potions, drenches, granules, pastes, boli, the feed-through method, suppositories, via parenteral administration such as, for example, by injections (intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intravenously, intraperitoneally and the like), by implants, by nasal administration, by dermal administration in the form of, for example, immersing or dipping, spraying, pouring-on, spotting-on, washing, dusting, and with the aid of moulded articles containing active substances such as collars, ear tags, tail tags, limb bands, halters, marking devices and the like.

[0502] When used for cattle, poultry, domestic animals and the like, the active substances according to formula (I) can be applied as formulations (for example powders, emulsions, flowing agents), which contain the active substances in an amount of 1 to 80% by weight, either directly or after 100- to 10,000-fold dilution, or they may be used as a chemical bath.

[0503] Moreover, it has been found that the active substances according to the invention exhibit potent insecticidal action against insects that destroy industrial materials.

[0504] The following insects may be mentioned as an example and with preference, but not as a limitation:

[0505] Beetles, such as, for example, Hylotrupes bajulus, Chlorophorus pilosis, Anobium punctatum, Xestobium rufovillosum, Ptilinus pecticornis, Dendrobium pertinex, Ernobius mollis, Priobium carpini, Lyctus brunneus, Lyctus africanus, Lyctus planicollis, Lyctus linearis, Lyctus pubescens, Trogoxylon aequale, Minthes rugicollis, Xyleborus spec. Tryptodendron spec. Apate monachus, Bostrychus capucins, Heterobostrychus brunneus, Sinoxylon spec. Dinoderus minutus;

[0506] Dermapterans such as, for example, Sirex juvencus, Urocerus gigas, Urocerus gigas taignus, Urocerus augur;

[0507] Termites, such as, for example, Kalotermes flavicollis, Cryptotermes brevis, Heterotermes indicola, Reticulitermes flavipes, Reticulitermes santonensis, Reticulitermes lucifugus, Mastotermes darwiniensis, Zootermopsis nevadensis, Coptoternes formosanus;

[0508] Bristletails, such as, for example, Lepisma saccharina;

[0509] Industrial materials in the present context are understood as meaning non-living materials such as, preferably, plastics, adhesives, glues, paper and cardboard, leather, wood, timber products and paints.

[0510] The materials, which are to be protected from insect attack, are especially preferably wood and timber products.

[0511] Wood and timber products, which can be protected by the substance according to the invention, or mixtures containing the substance, are to be understood as meaning, for example:

[0512] Construction timber, wooden beams, railway sleepers, bridge components, jetties, wooden vehicles, boxes, pallets, containers, telephone poles, wood lagging, wooden windows and doors, plywood, clipboard, joinery, or timber products which quite generally are used in house construction or building joinery.

[0513] The insecticidal compounds or concentrates used for protecting wood and timber products contain the active substance according to the invention in a concentration of 0.0001 to 95% by weight, in particular 0.001 to 60% by weight.

[0514] The amount of compound or concentrate employed depends on the species and the abundance of the insects and on the medium. The optimal quantity to be employed can be determined in each case by test series upon application. In general, however, it will suffice to employ 0.0001 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 10% by weight of the active substance, based on the material to be protected.

[0515] A suitable solvent and/or diluent is an organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or an oily or oil-type organochemical solvent or solvent mixture of low volatility and/or a polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or water and, if appropriate, an emulsifier and/or wettening agent.

[0516] Organochemical solvents, which are preferably, employed are oily or oil-type solvents with an evaporation number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30° C., preferably above 45° C. Such oily and oil-type solvents which are insoluble in water and of low volatility and which are used are suitable mineral oils or their aromatic fractions or mineral-oil-containing solvent mixtures, preferably white spirit, petroleum and/or alkylbenzene.

[0517] Mineral oils, which are preferably used, are those with a boiling range of 170 to 220° C., white spirit with a boiling range of 170 to 220° C., spindle oil with a boiling range of 250 to 350° C., petroleum and aromatics with a boiling range of 160 to 280° C., turpentine oil, and the like.

[0518] In a preferred embodiment, liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 180 to 210° C. or high-boiling mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 180 to 220° C. and/or spindle oil and/or monochloronaphthalene, preferably α.-monochloronaphthalene are used.

[0519] The organic oily or oil-type solvents of low volatility and with an evaporation number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30° C., preferably above 45° C., can be replaced in part by organochemical solvents of high or medium volatility, provided that the solvent mixture also has an evaporation number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30° C., preferably above 45° C., and that the insecticide/fungicide mixture is soluble or emulsifiable in this solvent mixture.

[0520] In a preferred embodiment, some of the organochemical solvent or solvent mixture is replaced by an aliphatic polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture. Aliphatic organochemical solvents that contain hydroxyl and/or ester and/or ether groups are preferably used, such as, for example, glycol ethers, esters or the like.

[0521] Organochemical binders used for the purposes of the present invention are the synthetic resins and/or binding drying oils which are known per se and which can be diluted in water and/or dissolved or dispersed or emulsified in the organochemical solvents employed, in particular binders composed of, or comprising, an acrylate resin, a vinyl resin, for example polyvinyl acetate, polyester resin, polycondensation or polyaddition resin, polyurethane resin, alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin, phenol resin, hydrocarbon resin such as indene/coumarone resin, silicone resin, drying vegetable and/or drying oils and/or physically drying binders based on a natural and/or synthetic resin.

[0522] The synthetic resin employed as binder can be employed in the form of an emulsion, dispersion or solution. Bitumen or bituminous substances may also be used as binders, in amounts of up to 10% by weight. In addition, colorants, pigments, water repellents, odour-masking agents, and inhibitors or anticorrosive agents and the like, all of which are known in their own right, can be employed.

[0523] In accordance with the invention, the compound or the concentrate preferably comprises, as organochemical binders, at least one alkyl resin or modified alkyl resin and/or a drying vegetable oil. Alkyd resins, which are preferably used in accordance with the invention, are those with an oil content of over 45% by weight, preferably 50 to 68% by weight.

[0524] Some or all of the abovementioned binders can be replaced by a fixative (mixture) or plasticiser (mixture). These additives are intended to prevent volatilisation of the active substances, as well as crystallisation or precipitation. They preferably replace 0.01 to 30% of the binder (based on 100% of binder employed).

[0525] The plasticisers are from the chemical classes of phthalic acid esters, such as dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate or benzyl butyl phthalate, phosphoric acid esters such as tributyl phosphate, adipic acid esters such as di-(2-ethylhexyl)-adipate, stearates such as butyl stearate or amyl stearate, oleates such as butyl oleate, glycerol ethers or higher-molecular-weight glycol ethers, glycerol esters and p-toluenesulphonic esters.

[0526] Fixatives are based chemically on polyvinyl alkyl ethers such as, for example, polyvinyl methyl ether, or ketones such as benzophenone and ethylenebenzophenone.

[0527] Other suitable solvents or diluents are, in particular, also water, if appropriate as a mixture with one or more of the abovementioned organochemical solvents or diluents, emulsifiers and dispersants.

[0528] Particularly effective timber protection is achieved by industrial-scale impregnation processes, for example vacuum, double-vacuum or pressure processes.

[0529] The ready-to-use compositions can also comprise other insecticides, if appropriate, and also one or more fungicides, if appropriate.

[0530] Preferable additives are the insecticides and fungicides mentioned in WO 94/29268. The compounds mentioned in this document are an explicit component of the present patent application.

[0531] Especially preferred mixing partners which may be mentioned are insecticides, such as chlorpyriphos, phoxim, silafluofin, alphamethrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, imidacloprid, NI-25, flufenoxuron, hexaflumuron, transfluthrin, thiacloprid, methoxyphenoxide, triflumuron, clothianidine, spinosad and tefluthirn, and also fungicides, such as epoxyconazole, hexaconazole, azaconazole, propiconazole, tebuconazole, cyproconazole, metconazole, imazalil, dichlorfluanid, tolylfluanid, 3-iodo-2-propinyl-butyl carbamate, N-octyl-isothiazolin-3-one and 4,5-dichloro-N-octylisothiazolin-3-one.

[0532] The compounds according to the invention can also be employed for protecting objects from fouling which come into contact with saltwater or brackish water, such as ships' hulls, screens, nets, buildings, moorings and signalling systems.

[0533] Fouling by sessile Oligochaeta, such as Serpulidae, and by shells and species from the Ledamorpha group (goose barnacles), such as various Lepas and Scalpellum species, or by species from the Balanomorpha group (acorn barnacles), such as Balanus or Pollicipes species, increases the frictional drag of ships and, as a consequence, leads to a marked increase in operation costs owing to higher energy consumption and additionally owing to frequent residence in the dry dock.

[0534] Apart from fouling by algae, for example Ectocarpus sp. and Ceramium sp., fouling by sessile Entomostraka groups, which come under the generic term Cirripedia (cirriped crustaceans), is of particular importance.

[0535] Surprisingly, it has now been found that the active compounds according to the invention have an outstanding antifouling action, either alone or in combination with other active substances.

[0536] By using the compounds according to the invention by themselves or in combination with other active substances, one can avoid the use of, or significantly reduce the concentration of compounds containing, heavy metals, such as, for example, in bis(trialkyltin)sulphides, tri-n-butyltin laurate, tri-n-butyltin chloride, copper(I) oxide, triethyltin chloride, tri-n-butyl(2-phenyl-4-chlorophenoxy)tin, tributyltin oxide, molybdenum disulphide, antimony oxide, polymeric butyl titanate, phenyl-(bispyridine)-bismuth chloride, tri-n-butyltin fluoride, manganese ethylenebisthiocarbamate, zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, zinc ethylenebisthiocarbamate, zinc salts and copper salts of 2-pyridinethiol 1-oxide, bisdimethyldithiocarbamoylzinc ethylenebisthiocarbamate, zinc oxide, copper(I) ethylene-bisdithiocarbamate, copper thiocyanate, copper naphthenate and tributyltin halides.

[0537] If appropriate, the ready-to-use antifouling paints can additionally comprise other active substances, preferably algicides, fungicides, herbicides, molluscicides, or other antifouling active substances.

[0538] Preferably, substances to be used in combination with the antifouling compounds according to the invention are:

[0539] Algicides, such as 2-tert.-butylamino-4-cyclopropylamino-6-methylthio-1,3,5-triazine, dichlorophen, diuron, endothal, fentine acetate, isoproturon, methabenzthiazuron, oxyfluorfen, quinoclamine and terbutryn;

[0540] Fungicides, such as benzo[b]thiophenecarboxylic acid cyclohexylamide S,S-dioxide, dichlofluanid, fluor-folpet, 3-iodo-2-propinyl butylcarbamate, tolylfluanid and azoles such as azaconazole, cyproconazole, epoxyconazole, hexaconazole, metconazole, propiconazole and tebuconazole;

[0541] Molluscicides, such as fentin acetate, metaldehyde, methiocarb, niclosamide, thiodicarb and trimethacarb;

Ferrous chelates,

[0542] or conventional antifouling active substances, such as 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, diiodomethylparatryl sulphone, 2-(N,N-di-methylthiocarbamoylthio)-5-nitrothiazyl, potassium, copper, sodium and zinc salts of 2-pyridinethiol 1-oxide, pyridine-triphenylborane, tetrabutyldistannoxane, 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-4-(methylsulphonyl)-pyridine, 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitrile, tetramethylthiuram disulphide and 2,4,6-trichlorophenylmaleinimide.

[0543] The antifouling compounds used comprise the active compound combinations according to the invention in a concentration of 0.001 to 50% by weight, in particular 0.01 to 20% by weight.

[0544] Moreover, the antifouling compounds according to the invention comprise the customary components such as, for example, those described in Ungerer, Chem. Ind. 1985, 37, 730-732 and Williams, Antifouling Marine Coatings, Noyes, Park Ridge, 1973.

[0545] Besides the algicidal, fungicidal, molluscicidal active substances and insecticidal active substances according to the invention, antifouling paints contain, in particular, binders.

[0546] Examples of recognized binders are polyvinyl chloride in a solvent system, chlorinated rubber in a solvent system, acrylic resins in a solvent system, in particular in an aqueous system, vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer systems in the form of aqueous dispersions or in the form of organic solvent systems, butadiene/styrene/acrylonitrile rubbers, drying oils such as linseed oil, resin esters or modified hardened resins in combination with tar or bitumens, asphalt and epoxy compounds, small amounts of chlorine rubber, chlorinated polypropylene and vinyl resins.

[0547] If appropriate, paints also contain inorganic pigments, organic pigments or colourants, which are preferably insoluble in salt water. Paints may furthermore contain materials such as colophonium to allow controlled release of the active substances. Furthermore, the paints may comprise plasticisers, which are modifiers that affect the rheological properties and other conventional constituents. The compounds according to the invention or the abovementioned mixtures may also be incorporated into self-polishing antifouling systems.

[0548] The active compound combinations are also suitable for controlling animal pests, in particular insects, arachnids and mites, which are found in enclosed spaces such as, for example, dwellings, factory halls, offices, vehicle cabins and the like. They can be employed alone or in combination with other active substances and additives in domestic insecticide products for controlling these pests.
