ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to enhanced propertied pesticides which can be used as fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides or biocides, compositions comprising enhanced propertied pesticides, and the method of use of enhanced propertied pesticides and their compositions. Although there are innumerable pesticides available for use, there is a continuing need for compounds which offer additional advantages to the end user.
Traditional pesticides may possess one or more deficiencies for the end user application. For instance, the pesticide may be slow acting and/or may have a limited spectrum of activity and/or may not possess a sufficiency of rain-fastness in the field to have a good residual activity. In order to be effective against the targeted pest, many pesticides must be applied in an undesirably high use rate from an environmental perspective. This can cause crop damage, especially with herbicides, because of lower than desired selectivity. Frequently the targeted pest builds up a resistance to the applied pesticide and requires larger amounts of it in order to be controlled. Many traditional tank mixes of pesticides cannot be accomplished because of their mutual incompatibility. Additionally, separately applied pesticide combinations arrive at the target pest at different rates, thus muting some of their mutual effectiveness. Some pesticides have adverse water solubilities for their intended application. Many pesticides are of the contact variety and hence possess no systemicity to completely protect the desired crop from the unwanted pest.
The compounds of the present invention overcome various deficiencies of traditional pesticides because they are substituted with a moiety comprising a substituent which enhances or changes the properties of the pesticidal compound. This substituent can be tailored in order to increase the rate of desired pesticidal action, to increase residual control against the pest, to decrease the overall use rate of the pesticide, increase the selectivity of the pesticide, change the water solubility of the pesticide, and increase the systemicity of the pesticide. Furthermore, the substituent on the pesticide may optionally comprise a pesticidal compound which may be the same as or different from the pesticidal compound on which the substituent occurs. This allows a combination of pesticides to be applied simultaneously as a single compound to the target pest or its locus. The application of such a compound provides many advantages such as a greater spectrum of activity against various pests, an attenuation of the build up of pest resistance since the pest is being controlled with two different modes of action, and the ability to combine two pesticidal compounds which would otherwise be incompatible with one another in a tank mix.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,916,230, 5,401,868, WO 99/61017 and WO 98/43970 all describe certain pharmaceutical compounds which are substituted with some of the moieties which are employed in the present invention. However, the use of these moieties to alter the properties of pesticides is neither disclosed nor suggested. JP 1275565 A2 and WO 9636613 A1 both disclose certain herbicidal compounds, some of which are substituted with some of the moieties which are employed in the present invention. However, the use of these moieties to alter the properties of herbicides and other pesticides is neither disclosed nor suggested.
In a first aspect of this invention, it has now been found that certain pesticidal compounds can be substituted with a moiety, said moiety comprising a substituent which enhances or changes the properties of the pesticidal compound.
The term “pesticidal compound” means any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any insects, rodents, nematodes, fungi, or weeds, or any other forms of life declared to be pests; and any substance intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or dessiccant. Therefore, “pesticidal compounds” include classes of compounds comprising fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, insect pheromones, rodenticides, biocides and microbicides.
The term “fungicide” means any agent which destroys fungi and/or inhibits their growth and is generally used on farm crops, preferably as a protective treatment rather than a curative treatment, by application to the surface of the plant in water suspensions or dusts before attack of a fungus. The term “herbicide” means any agent which destroys and/or inhibits the growth of undesirable plants and can be used in a preplanting, preemergence, postemergence or sterilant application. The term “insecticide” means any agent used primarily for the control of insects by preventing, destroying, repeling or mitigating any insects which may be present in any environment whatsoever. The term “acaricide” means any agent used primarily in the control of plant-feeding mites, especially spider mites. The term “nematicide” means any agent used primarily for the control of root-infesting nematodes on crop plants. The term “insect pheromone” means any agent used primarily for the control of behavioral responses of insects. The term “rodenticide” means any agent used primarily for the control of rodents, such as rats, mice, etc., and related animals such as rabbits. The term “biocide” means any agent used primarily to protect inanimate materials or industrial processes from biodeterioration by microorganisms and includes classes of compounds comprising microbicides, preservatives, disinfectants and antiseptics. The term “microbicide” includes compounds that are bactericides, fungicides, algicides, molluscicides and slimicides.
The fungicidal compounds which are suitable for use in this invention are those compounds which can be substituted with a moiety, said moiety comprising a substituent which enhances or changes the properties of the fungicidal compound, said fungicidal compounds said fungicidal compounds including, but not being limited to fenpropidin, triforine, piperalin, spiroxamine, cymoxanil, milneb, dazomat, dodine, dodicin, guazatine, iminoctadine, iminoctadine-tris, prothiocarb, flusulfamide, pyracarbolid, thifluzamide, ethoxabam, zarilamid, furametpyr, trichlamide, dicloran, bithionol, chloraniformethan, dichlorophen, benodanil, flutolanil, fenhexamid, mebenil, mepronil, tecloftalam, benomyl, carbendazim, chlorfenazole, cypendazole, debacarb, fuberidazole, thiabendazole, mecarbinzid, rabenzazole, diethofencarb, iprovalicarb, propamocarb, thiophanate, thiophanate-methyl, furophanate, azaconazole, bromuconazole, difenoconazole, epoxiconazole, etaconazole, fenbuconazole, fluotrimazole, fluquinconazole, flusilazole, furconazole, furconazole-cis, imibenconazole, myclobutanil, oxpoconazole, penconazole, propiconazole, quinconazole, sipconazole, tetraconazole, triadimefon, bitertanol, cyproconazole, diclobutrazole, diniconazole, flutriafol, hexaconazole, ipconazole, metconazole, tebuconazole, triadimenol, triticonazole, uniconazole, clotrimazole, fenapanil, imazalil, pefurazoate, prochloraz, triazoxide, triflumizole, fenamidone, glyodin, iprodione, azithiram, carbamorph, amobam, ferbam, mancozeb, maneb, metam, metiram, nabam, propineb, zineb, ziram, tecoram, cyclafuramid, fenfuram, methfuroxam, furcarbanil, aldimorph, dodemorph, fenpropimorph, tridemorph, fosetyl, fosetyl-aluminum, triamiphos, carboxin, oxycarboxin, drazoxolon, famoxadone, hymexazol, pencycuron, pyrifenox, pyroxychlor, pyroxyfur, fluazinam, bupirimate, cyprodinil, diflumetorim, dimethirimol, ethirimol, fenarimol, ferimzone, mepanipyrim, nuarimol, pyrimethanil, triarimol, quinoxyfen, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, ethoxyquin, halacrinate, quinacetol, benquinox, metominostrobin, SSF-129, 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-2,7-dioxa-3,6-diazaocta-3,5-dien-1-yl]-&agr;-(methoxyimino)-N-methyl-benzeneacetamide, 2-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-2,7-dioxa-3,6-diazaocta-3,5-dien-1-yl]-&agr;-(methoxyimino)-N-methyl-benzeneacetamide, metsulfovax, methasulfocarb, anilazine, zoxamide, carpropamid, diclocymet, diclomezine, fenpiclonil, fludioxo
