Description

[0001] This invention relates to useful plant protection compounds and compositions comprising specific compounds as safeners for reducing the phytotoxicity of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides. More specifically, this invention relates to specific [(1,5-di(heteroaryl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)oxy]acetic acid derivatives as safeners, their salts, and methods for their preparation.

[0002] When pesticides are used to control unwanted organisms in horticultural and forestry crops, the beneficial plants are often also more or less harmed by the pesticides used (e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.). This unwanted phytotoxicity occurs to a certain degree when large amounts of herbicides are used in beneficial crops (e.g., corn, rice, or cereals) (primarily in post-emergence application). In some cases, the use of "safeners" or "antidotes" can protect beneficial plants from the phytotoxicity of pesticides without reducing or significantly impairing pesticide efficacy against pests. In some cases, even enhanced pesticide efficacy against pests (such as weeds) has been observed in the presence of safeners.

[0003] To date, compounds known as safeners belong to a wide range of different chemical structures, and their suitability as safeners often depends on the chemical structure of the pesticide and the useful plant crop.

[0004] The safener effect of compounds selected from phenoxy or heteroaryloxyalkane carboxylic acid derivatives when used in combination with herbicides is well known. Examples of such compounds are MCPA and similar compounds that still retain herbicidal activity against harmful plants, or cloquintocet-mexyl.

[0005] Also known are safeners selected from N-phenyl-substituted heteroaryl carboxylic acid ester derivatives having multiple heteroatoms in heteroaromatic systems. Examples of such safeners are mefenpyr-diethyl and isoxadifen-ethyl, which are used in commercially available products.

[0006] WO 2004 / 084631 discloses the use of hydroxylated aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives. WO 2005 / 015994 describes specific salicylic acid derivatives as safeners. These are particularly suitable for use as safeners in corn and soybean crops.

[0007] In addition, WO 2005 / 112630 discloses 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives, and WO 2008 / 131860 discloses pyridone formamide as a safer agent.

[0008] The active ingredients, which are derived from the chemical categories of 1,5-diphenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives and 1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives with plant-active properties, and are used as safeners, are known from WO2006 / 040016.

[0009] The active ingredient, which is a chemical class of 1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives with plant-active properties, is also known as a safener from EP0268554.

[0010] The active ingredients derived from the chemical category of [(1,5-di(heteroaryl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)oxy]acetic acid derivatives with plant-active properties are unknown in the literature.

[0011] Various literatures document pharmaceutically valuable derivatives of [(1,5-diphenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)oxy]acetic acid. Polish J. Chem. 2006, 80, 889-897 and Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 2018, 26, 3321-3344 disclose derivatives of [(1,5-diphenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)oxy]acetic acid.

[0012] When safeners are used to protect crops from pesticide damage, it has been found that known safeners have drawbacks in many cases. These drawbacks include:

[0013] - Insufficient useful plant protection characteristics

[0014] - When used in combination with a specific herbicide, the range of beneficial plants for the safener / herbicide to be used is not large enough.

[0015] - Certain safeners can only be combined with a few herbicides.

[0016] The use of safety agents increases the application rate and dosage of formulation adjuvants, which can lead to application-related problems.

[0017] For the reasons stated above, there is an increasing need to provide alternative compounds that act as safety agents.

[0018] This invention provides novel useful plant protection compounds of general formula (I) or salts thereof.

In the case of optionally substituted cycloalkenyl groups, the description of substituted cycloalkyl groups applies accordingly.

[0102] The term "alkylene", for example (C1-C 10The alkylene group (=) also refers to a straight-chain or branched open-chain hydrocarbon group linked by a double bond. The possible bonding sites for alkylene groups are naturally only those positions in the basic structure where two hydrogen atoms can be replaced by a double bond; the group is, for example, =CH2, =CH-CH3, =C(CH3)-CH3, =C(CH3)-C2H5, or =C(C2H5)-C2H5. Cycloalkylene groups represent carbocyclic groups linked by a double bond.

[0108] If a compound can form tautomers whose structures are not formally covered by general formula (I) through hydrogen transposition, these tautomers are still covered by the definition of compounds of general formula (I) of this invention, unless a specific tautomer is considered. For example, many carbonyl compounds can exist in ketone form and enol form, both of which are covered by the definition of compounds of general formula (I).

[0109] Compounds of general formula (I) can exist in stereoisomers, depending on the nature of the substituents and their linkage. Possible stereoisomers defined by their specific three-dimensional forms, such as enantiomers, diastereomers, Z- and E-isomers, are all covered by general formula (I). For example, the presence of one or more alkenyl groups can produce diastereomers (Z- and E-isomers). Similarly, the presence of one or more asymmetric carbon atoms can produce enantiomers and diastereomers.

[0379] The following are selected detailed synthetic examples of compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention. The chemical examples described in the following sections... 1 H NMR, 13 C-NMR and 19 F-NMR spectral data ( 1 H-NMR is 400MHz 13 C-NMR is 150MHz 19F-NMR was performed at 375 MHz using CDCl3, CD3OD, or d6-DMSO as solvents, with tetramethylsilane (δ = 0.00 ppm) on a Bruker instrument. The listed signals have the following meanings: br = broad peak, s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, dd = doublet, ddd = double doublet, m = multiplet, q = quartet, quintet, sext = sextet, sept = septet, dq = double quartet, dt = double triplet. In the case of diastereomer mixtures, significant signals for each of the two diastereomers were recorded, or the characteristic signal of the dominant diastereomer was recorded. The abbreviations used for chemical groups have the following meanings, for example: Me = CH3, Et = CH2CH3, t-Hex = C(CH3)2CH(CH3)2, t-Bu = C(CH3)3, n-Bu = unbranched butyl, n-Pr = unbranched propyl, i-Pr = branched propyl, c-Pr = cyclopropyl, c-Hex = cyclohexyl.

[0380] The spectral data of the selected tabular examples listed below are obtained through conventional methods. 1 H NMR description or evaluation using NMR peak listing methods.

[0381] conventional 1 H NMR Explanation

[0382] Example 1 number I.28-10:

[0383] 1 H-NMR (400MHz, DMSO-d6δ, ppm) 8.50 (d, 1H), 8.45 (d, 1H), 8.19-8.11 (m, 2H), 7.96 (dd, 1H), 7.71 (dd, 1H), 5.03 (s, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H).

[0384] Example 1, No. I.32-10:

[0385] 1 H-NMR (400MHz, CDCl3δ, ppm)8.26-8.24(m,2H),8.02(m,1H),7.82(dd,1H),7.58-7.49(m,2H),4.94(s,2H),4.27(q,2H),1.29(t,3H).

[0386] Example 1.30-10:

[0387] 1H-NMR (400MHz, CDCl3δ, ppm) 8.36 (d, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 7.94 (d, 1H), 7.84-7.78 (m, 2H), 7.58 (m, 1H), 4.98 (s, 2H).

[0388] NMR peak listing method

[0389] The 1H NMR data for the selected examples are presented as a list of 1H NMR peaks. For each signal peak, the δ value in ppm is listed first, followed by the signal intensity in parentheses. δ value / signal intensity pairs for different signal peaks are separated by semicolons.

[0390] Therefore, the peak list for an instance takes the following form:

[0391] δ1 (Intensity 1); δ2 (Intensity 2); ...; δ i (strength i );……;δ n (strength n )

[0392] The intensity of the spike signal is highly correlated with the signal in cm in the printed example of the NMR spectrum, showing the true proportion of the signal intensity. In the case of a broad-peak signal, several peaks or the middle portion of the signal can be displayed, along with their relative intensities compared to the strongest signal in the spectrum.

[0393] In order to correct 1 Chemical shifts in 1H NMR spectra, using the chemical shifts of tetramethylsilane and / or solvent, especially in the case of spectra measured in DMSO. Therefore, a tetramethylsilane peak may, but is not necessarily, appear in the NMR peak list.

[0394] 1 H NMR peak list and conventional 1 The 1H NMR printouts are similar, therefore, they typically include all the peaks listed in a standard NMR description.

[0395] In addition, as usual 1 1H NMR prints can show solvent signals, signals of stereoisomers of the target compound (which are also provided by this invention), and / or peaks of impurities.

[0396] When recording compound signals in the δ range of solvent and / or water, 1 The H NMR peak list shows standard solvent peaks, such as peaks for DMSO in DMSO-d6 and peaks for water, which, on average, typically have high intensity.

[0397] The average intensity of the peaks of the stereoisomers of the target compound and / or the peaks of impurities is usually lower than that of the peaks of the target compound (e.g., with a purity of >90%).

[0398] Such stereoisomers and / or impurities can be specific to a particular preparation method. Therefore, their peaks can help identify the reproducibility of the preparation method by referring to the "by-product fingerprint".

[0399] A specialist who has calculated the peaks of the target compound using known methods (MestreC, ACD simulation, and expected values ​​using empirical estimations) can, as needed, separate the peaks of the target compound, optionally using additional intensity filters. This separation is similar to conventional methods. 1 Peak selection as described in the H NMR specification.

[0402]

[0403] The present invention also provides a method for protecting crop plants or useful plants from the phytotoxic effects of agrochemicals such as pesticides or, in particular, herbicides, which cause damage to crop plants or useful plants, characterized by the use of a compound of general formula (I) or a salt thereof as a safe agent, preferably by applying an effective amount of a compound of general formula (I) or a salt thereof to the plant, plant parts or its seeds (or seed material).

[0404] Compounds of general formula (I) specified above (=safeners) are suitable for use with active ingredients (pesticides) to selectively control pests in a variety of crop cultures, such as economically important crops, including, for example, cereals (wheat, barley, rye, rice, corn, millet / sorghum), sugar beets, sugarcane, rapeseed, cotton, sunflower, peas, beans, and soybeans. Herbicide-safener combinations containing safeners of general formula (I) are also suitable for controlling harmful plants in nurseries and areas of useful and ornamental plants, such as lawn areas of practical or decorative turfgrasses, particularly ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, or Bermuda grass.

[0405] With regard to useful plants and crops in which herbicide-safety agent combinations containing compounds of the above general formula (I) can be used, it is equally important to mutant crops or genetically modified crops that are fully or partially resistant to some pesticides, such as corn crops resistant to glufosinate or glyphosate, or soybean crops resistant to imidazolinones with phytotoxic effects. However, a particular benefit of safeties of general formula (I) used in novel ways is their effectiveness in crops that are not normally sufficiently resistant to the pesticides used.

[0406] When used in conjunction with pesticides, compounds of general formula (I) can be applied simultaneously with or in any order to the active ingredients, thereby reducing or completely preventing the detrimental side effects of these active ingredients on crop plants without impairing or significantly reducing their efficacy against unwanted pests. This also significantly reduces or completely prevents damage caused by the use of more than one pesticide, such as more than one herbicide or a combination of herbicide and insecticide or fungicide. This can considerably expand the application scope of conventional pesticides.

[0407] If the compositions of the present invention contain pesticides, these compositions are applied directly to the growing area at an appropriate dilution, to germinated harmful plants and / or beneficial plants, or to seedlings of harmful plants and / or beneficial plants. If the compositions of the present invention do not contain any pesticides, these compositions can be used by the so-called tank mixing method, which means that the user mixes and dilutes the separately formulated products (= plant protection composition and pesticide) before application to the area to be treated, before or after application of pesticides, or for seed pretreatment (i.e., for coating of seeds of beneficial plants). It is preferred that the safener be applied promptly with the pesticide, especially when the safener is applied to the plants after a herbicide. The beneficial effects of compounds of general formula (I) can be observed when used with pesticides via pre-emergence or post-emergence methods, for example, when applied simultaneously as tank mixes or co-formulations, or when applied separately in parallel or consecutively (multiple applications). Repeated applications are also possible. Sometimes it is also reasonable to combine pre-emergence and post-emergence applications. One option is to apply the compound (I) of the invention to the useful plant or crop plant in a post-emergence form, and to apply the pesticide simultaneously or later. Another option is to use the compound (I) of the invention for seed dressing, (dipping) treatment of seedlings (e.g., rice), or treatment of other propagation materials (e.g., potato tubers).

[0408] When compounds of general formula (I) are used in combination with herbicides, not only is a safener effect typically observed, but also an enhanced herbicidal effect on harmful plants is observed. Furthermore, in many cases, the growth of beneficial plants and crop plants is improved, and harvest yield can be increased.

[0409] The compositions of the present invention may comprise one or more pesticides. Examples of useful pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, acaricides, and nematicides, each of which, when used alone, can cause or may cause phytotoxic damage to crop plants. Of particular importance are the respective active pesticide components selected from herbicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, and fungicides (especially herbicides).

[0410] The weight ratio of the safener to the pesticide (of general formula (I)) can vary over a wide range, and is typically 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:20 to 20:1, and particularly 1:10 to 10:1. The optimal weight ratio of safener to pesticide depends on the appropriate safener and pesticide used, as well as the type of useful plant or crop to be protected. Depending on the pesticide used and the type of useful plant to be protected, the required safener application rate can vary over a wide range, and is typically 0.001 to 10 kg per hectare, preferably 0.01 to 1 kg, and particularly 0.01 to 0.2 kg of safener. The amount and weight ratio required for successful treatment can be determined by simple preliminary testing.

[0411] In the case of seed dressing, for example, 0.005 to 20 g of safener (of general formula (I)) per kilogram of seed is used, preferably 0.01 to 10 g of safener per kilogram of seed, and particularly 0.05 to 5 g of safener per kilogram of seed.

[0412] When using a solution of a safener (of general formula (I)) in seed treatment and wetting seeds or seedlings with the solution, the appropriate concentration, based on weight, is typically 1 to 10,000 ppm, preferably 100 to 1,000 ppm. The amount and weight ratio required for successful treatment can be determined by simple preliminary testing.

[0413] Safes of general formula (I) can be formulated alone or in combination with pesticides in a conventional manner. Therefore, useful plant or crop protection compositions are also provided.

[0414] It is preferable to use safeners and pesticides in combination, especially in the form of finished formulations or by tank mixing.

[0415] It is also preferred to apply a safer of formula (I) during seed treatment and then apply the pesticide, preferably a herbicide, after sowing via pre- or post-emergence methods.

[0416] Compounds of general formula (I) or their salts can be used as is or in combination with other pesticide active substances in the form of formulations (formulated formulations), such as insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, herbicides, fungicides, safeners, fertilizers, and / or growth regulators, for example, in the form of finished formulations or tank mixes. Considering the physical properties and stability of the active ingredients to be combined, combined formulations can be prepared based on the above formulations.

[0417] Combination formulations of the compounds of the present invention that can be used in mixed formulations or tank mixes are, for example, based on known active ingredients that inhibit the following: for example, acetyllactate synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, cellulase, enolpyruvate-3-phosphate synthase, glutamine synthase, p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, phytopenic oleoresin, photosystem I, photosystem II, or protoporphyrinogen oxidase, as known, for example, in Weed Research 26 (1986) 441-445 or “The Pesticide Manual”, 16th edition, The British Crop Protection Council and the Royal Soc. of Chemistry, 2006, and the references cited therein.

[0418] For example, known herbicides or plant growth regulators that can be combined with the compounds of the present invention are as follows, wherein the active ingredient is represented by its "common name" or chemical name or code number as specified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). They always include all forms of use, such as acids, salts, esters, and all isomers, such as stereoisomers and optical isomers, even if they are not explicitly mentioned.

[0424] When used as active ingredient formulations or co-formulations, these typically contain a variety of conventional binders, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, penetrants, preservatives, antifreeze and solvents, fillers, carriers and dyes, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors and pH and viscosity modifiers, depending on the case.

[0425] Compounds of general formula (I) and their combinations with one or more of the aforementioned pesticides can be formulated in different ways according to defined physicochemical and biological parameters. Suitable examples of formulation types include:

[0426] - An emulsifiable concentrate prepared by dissolving an active ingredient in an organic solvent, such as butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, or a mixture of relatively high-boiling hydrocarbons or organic solvents, and adding one or more ionic and / or nonionic surfactants (emulsifiers). Suitable emulsifiers include, for example, calcium alkyl aryl sulfonate, fatty acid polyethylene glycol esters, alkyl aryl polyethylene glycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers, propylene oxide-ethylene oxide condensation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan esters, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters;

[0427] - Powdered products are obtained by grinding active ingredients together with finely dispersed solid inorganic or organic substances, such as talc, natural clay (e.g., kaolin, bentonite, and pyrophyllite), diatomaceous earth, or diatomaceous earth powder.

[0428] -Water-based or oil-based suspension concentrates, which can be prepared by means of a bead mill, for example by wet milling;

[0429] - Water-soluble powder;

[0430] - Water-soluble concentrate;

[0431] - Granules, such as water-soluble granules, water-dispersible granules, and granules for broadcasting and soil application;

[0432] - Wettable powders, which, in addition to active ingredients, also contain diluents or inert substances and surfactants;

[0433] -Capsule suspensions and microcapsules;

[0434] -Ultra-low dose formulation.

[0435] The aforementioned formulation types are known to those skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the following literature: K. Martens, “Spray Drying Handbook”, 3rd edition, G. Goodwin Ltd., London, 1979; W. van Valkenburg, “Pesticide Formulations”, Marcel Dekker, NY, 1973; Winacker-Küchler, “Chemische Technologie” [Chemical Technology], Vol. 7, C. Hanser Verlag Munich, 4th edition, 1986; “Perry’s Chemical Engineer’s Handbook”, 5th edition, McGraw-Hill, NY, 1973, pp. 8-57.

[0436] Necessary formulation adjuvants (such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents, and other additives) are also known and documented in, for example, the following literature: McCutcheon's "Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MCPubl. Corp., Ridgewood NJ; C. Marsden, "Solvents Guide", 2nd edition, Interscience, NY 1963; H. von Olphen, "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry", 2nd edition, J. Wiley & Sons, NY; [Interface-active Ethylene Oxide Adducts], Wiss. Verlagsgesellschaft, Stuttgart1976; Sisley and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chem. Publ. Co. Inc., NY1964; Watkins, "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd edition, Darland Books, Caldwell NJ; Winnacker-Küchler, "Chemische Technologie", Volume 7, C. Hanser Verlag Munich, 4th Edition 1986.

[0437] In addition to the formulation adjuvants mentioned above, useful plant protection compositions may also include, as appropriate, conventional wetting agents, binders, dispersants, penetrants, emulsifiers, preservatives, antifreeze agents, fillers, carriers and dyes, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors and pH or viscosity adjusters.

[0438] Depending on the type of formulation, useful plant protection compositions typically contain 0.1% to 99% by weight, particularly 0.2% to 95% by weight, of one or more of general formula (I) safeners or combinations of safeners with pesticides. They also contain 1% to 99.9% by weight, particularly 4% to 99.5% by weight, of one or more solid or liquid additives and 0% to 25% by weight, particularly 0.1% to 25% by weight, of surfactants. In emulsifiable concentrates, the concentration of the active ingredient (i.e., the concentration of the safener and / or pesticide) is typically 1% to 90% by weight, particularly 5% to 80% by weight. Powdered products typically contain 1% to 30% by weight, preferably 5% to 20% by weight, of the active ingredient. In wettable powders, the concentration of the active ingredient is typically 10% to 90% by weight. In water-dispersible granules, the content of the active ingredient is, for example, 1% to 95% by weight, preferably 10% to 80% by weight.

[0439] For application, commercially available formulations are diluted in the usual manner, if appropriate, such as with water in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersants, and water-dispersible granules. Powdered formulations, granules, and sprayable solutions are generally not further diluted with other inert substances before application. The required application rate of safeners of general formula (I) varies with external conditions, including temperature, humidity, and the type of herbicide used.

[0469] 2. Biological Example:

[0470] 2.1 Taking the reduction of damage to summer wheat (TRZAS) by mesosulfuron-methyl as an example, the relevant effects of the compounds selected in this invention are described.

[0471] Seeds of the crop to be treated were placed in sandy loam soil in plastic pots (~4 cm in diameter), covered with soil, and grown in a greenhouse under good germination and growth conditions. The test plants were treated at the early leaf stage (BBCH10-BBCH12). During this process, the compound of general formula (I) of the present invention, formulated as a wettable powder (WP), was sprayed onto the aboveground parts of the plant as an aqueous suspension with a water application rate equivalent to 800 l / ha and the addition of a specified dose of wetting agent (e.g., 0.2% Genapol-LRO or 0.2% Mero).

[0472] Herbicides were then applied. For this purpose, mesosulfuron-methyl, formulated as a water-dispersible granule (WG), was sprayed onto the aboveground parts of the plants as a water dispersion, with a water application rate equivalent to 800 l / ha and the addition of a wetting agent at a dose of 40–60 g / ha (e.g., 0.2% Genapol-LRO or 1 l / ha Biopower). The dosage of the herbicide was chosen such that, at the time of evaluation, it caused visually significant damage (minimum 30%, maximum 75%) to the control crop plants included in the same experiment that were not treated with a safener, compared to untreated crop plants.

[0473] Following application, the plants were cultivated in a greenhouse under favorable growing conditions. The efficacy of the test compound was visually assessed 9–13 days post-application. For this purpose, the appearance of plants treated with the test compound and herbicide was compared to that of the corresponding herbicide control group (without safener; showing clearly visible damage) and the untreated control group (without damage). The damage-reducing effect of the test compound in this paper is expressed using graded efficacy codes according to the following scheme:

[0474] 0: No reduction in damage (appearance corresponds to the herbicide control group)

[0475] 1: Slightly reduce damage

[0476] 2: Significantly reduces damage

[0477] 3: Significantly reduces damage

[0478] 4: Complete reduction of damage (appearance compared to the untreated control group)

[0479] Experiments have shown that the selected compounds of the present invention are significantly effective in mitigating damage to summer wheat crops (TRZAS; cultivar Triso) caused by the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl:
