Benefits of technology

[0009]This invention concerns the discovery of lack of cross-resistance for N-substituted sulfoximine compounds on insect pests that have developed resistance to one or more classes of insecticides including imidacloprid and other neonicotinoids. More particularly, this invention concerns a method

Problems solved by technology

In contrast to the above, the case where the target site of the novel chemistry is not known or where resistance is conferred by some mechanism other than target site insensitivity (e.g., metabolic detoxification, sequestration, or excretion), cross resistance is difficult to predict.

example i

[(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)methyl](methyl)-oxido-λ4-sulfanylidenecyanamide (1)

[0050]

[0051][(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)methyl](methyl)-oxido-λ4-sulfanylidene-cyanamide (1) was prepared from 3-chloromethyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine according to the following three step sequence:

[0052]To a solution of 3-chloromethyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (5.1 g, 26 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 20 mL) was added in one portion sodium thiomethoxide (1.8 g, 26 mmol). A violent exothermic reaction was observed which resulted in the reaction turning dark. The reaction was stirred for 1 hr, then additional sodium thiomethoxide (0.91 g, 13 mmol) was added slowly. The reaction was stirred overnight, after which it was poured into H2O and several drops of conc. HCl were added. The mixture was extracted with Et2O (3×50 mL) and the organic layers combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by chromatography (Prep 500, 10% acetone / hexanes) t...

[1-(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl](methyl)-oxido-λ4-sulfanylidenecyanamide (2)

[0055]

[0056][1-(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl](methyl)-oxido-λ4-sulfanylidene-cyanamide (2) was prepared from [(6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)methyl]-(methyl)-oxido-λ4-sulfanylidenecyanamide (1) using the method outlined in Scheme C:

[0057]To a solution of sulfoximine (1) (50 mg, 0.19 mmol) and hexamethyl-phosphoramide (HMPA; 17 μL, 0.10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 2 mL) at −78° C. was added potassium hexamethyldisilazane (KHMDS; 0.5 M in toluene, 420 μL, 0.21 mmol) dropwise. The solution was stirred at −78° C. for an additional 20 min, after which iodomethane (13 μL, 0.21 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature over the course of 1 hr, after which it was quenched with saturated aqueous (aq.) NH4Cl and extracted with dichloro-methane. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and the crude product purified by chromatography (chromatotron, 70% aceton...

2-(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-1-oxido-tetrahydro-1H-1λ4-thien-1-ylidenecyanamide (3)

[0058]

[0059]2-(6-Trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-1-oxido-tetrahydro-1H-1λ4-thien-1-ylidene-cyanamide (3) was prepared from 3-chloromethyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridine according to the 5 step sequence outline below:

[0060]To a suspension of thiourea (1.2 g, 16 mmol) in EtOH (25 mL) was added a solution of 3-chloromethyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine in EtOH (10 mL). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 2 days, during which a white precipitated formed. The precipitate was filtered to give the desired amidine hydrochloride as a white solid (2.4 g, 58%). Mp=186-188° C. No further attempt was made to purify the product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.9 (bs, 4H), 8.4 (s, 1H), 7.6 (d, 1H), 7.3 (d, 1H), 4.2 (s, 2H); LC-MS (ELSD): mass calcd for C8H8F3N3S [M+H]+ 236.05. Found 236.01.

[0061]To a solution of amidine hydrochloride (A) (1.8 g, 6.8 mmol) in H2O (12 mL) at 10° C. was added 10 N NaOH (0.68 ...

Abstract

N-Substituted sulfoximines are effective at controlling insects resistant to common insecticides.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 815,932 filed on Jun. 23, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention concerns a novel method to control certain insect pests, specifically those that have developed resistance to one or more classes of insecticides, through the use of N-substituted sulfoximines.[0003]The development of resistance to insecticides in insect populations is a well recognized phenomenon and there are well documented cases of resistance for all of the major classes of insecticides (Georghiou and Saito, 1984 Pest Resistance to Pesticides. Plenum Press, New York; Whalon et al., 2007 Arthropod Pest Resistance Database, http: / / www.cips.msu.edu / resistance / rmdb). The reduction in effectiveness of insecticides due to the development of resistance is one of the forces that drives the discovery and development of new insecticides.[0004]Predicting whether or not a resistance mechanism that has conferred resistance...
