Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to 6-nitrogen-containing cyclyl picolinic acid and some formate compounds thereof, as well as preparation methods and applications thereof, and belongs to the field of pesticide herbicides. Background Art

[0002] Weeds refer to plants that grow in areas that are harmful to human survival and activities. They are generally non-cultivated wild plants or plants that are harmless to humans. Chemical weeding is a method of using chemical herbicides instead of manual weeding. The main tool used is herbicides. According to morphological classification, weeds can be divided into three categories: grasses, sedges and broadleaf weeds. After being absorbed by plant roots and buds, herbicides act on specific sites, interfere with the physiological and biochemical metabolic reactions of plants, and cause plant growth inhibition or death.

[0003] Picolinic acid herbicides are a type of plant auxin herbicide that can penetrate the stems and leaves of plants and quickly conduct to the growth points, thereby binding to the auxin transporter in the plant body, causing the plant body to produce a large amount of auxin, causing the upper part of the plant to become deformed, wither, fall off leaves, necrosis, and eventually death. Picolinic acid herbicides were discovered and promoted by Dow, and a variety of picolinic acid or picolinate herbicide products have been developed so far. In the 1950s, Dow discovered the first picolinic acid herbicide, Picloram, through studying the metabolites of new nitrification inhibitors. It is mainly used in wheat fields and corn fields to control most dicotyledonous weeds. The second picolinic acid auxin herbicide, Clopyralid, was discovered in the early 1960s. It was a new type of picolinic acid herbicide obtained by Dow through structure-activity relationship (SAR) research, where the 4 and 5 positions of the pyridine ring were replaced by hydrogen atoms. Picloram was further structurally modified, and Aminopyralid was discovered in 2005. It is mainly used for lawn weeding, controlling annual or perennial broadleaf weeds, and has a long lasting effect. Over the next decade, through continuous SAR research and analysis of soil metabolites, Dow discovered that the introduction of phenyl groups into the 6-position of the pyridine ring and methoxy groups into the benzene ring could greatly enhance the herbicidal activity of the parent compound and improve the degradation characteristics of the new compound in the soil. Finally, the aryl picolinate herbicides Halauxifen-methyl and Florpyrauxifen-benzyl were discovered. Halauxifen-methyl was first registered and listed in my country in 2014. It is mainly used in wheat fields to control broadleaf weeds, and also to control resistant weeds, such as resistant cleavers, shepherd's purse, and sophora flavescens.

[0004]

[0005] However, most of these known picolinic acid herbicides are effective in controlling dicotyledonous broadleaf weeds, and except for clopyralid, the other picolinic acid herbicides have poor control effects on grass plants. Therefore, picolinic acid compounds with high efficiency and broad-spectrum herbicidal activity need to be further developed. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to expand the weed control range of existing picolinic acid herbicides and reduce the damage of such compounds to crops, the present invention provides a 6-nitrogen-containing cyclyl picolinic acid and some formate compounds thereof and their preparation methods and applications. In the synthesis of such compounds, by improving the structure of amiloride, different substituted nitrogen-containing cyclyl substituents are introduced to improve the weed control performance of picolinic acid compounds. The present invention has a novel structure, a relatively broad spectrum of weed control activity, a short synthetic route, mild reaction conditions, and a simple preparation method.
