DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel imidazole derivatives, to a plurality of processes for their preparation and to their use as microbicides in crop protection and in the protection of materials.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is already known that certain imidazole derivatives have fungicidal properties (cf. EP-A 0 298 196). Thus, for example, 4-chloro-2-cyano-1-morpholine-N-ylsulphonyl-5-phenylimidazole or 4-chloro-2-cyano-5-phenyl-1-(2-thienylsulphonyl)-imidazole can be employed for controlling fungi. The activity of these substances is good, but in some cases leaves something to be desired at low application rates.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention, accordingly, provides novel imidazole derivatives of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and independently of one another each represent hydrogen, halogen, cyano, thiocyanato, nitro, formyl, carboxyl, carbamoyl, thiocarbamoyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsulphonyl, alkenyl, alkenyloxy, halogenoalkyl, halogenoalkoxy, halogenoalkylthio, halogenoalkylsulphinyl, halogenoalkylsulphonyl, halogenoalkenyl, halogenoalkenyloxy, alkylcarbonyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulphonyloxy, alkoxinminoalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylamino, hydroxyalkylaamino, dialkylamino, hydroximinoalkyl or represent Z-R.sup.4, where --*CH.sub.2 --Q--, --Q*--CH.sub.2 --, --*CQ--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --*CH.sub.2 --Q--CQ--, --*Q--CQ--CH.sub.2 --, --*Q--CQ--Q--CH.sub.2 --, --S(O).sub.n --, --*CH.sub.2 --S(O).sub.n --, --CQ-- or --*S(O).sub.n --CH.sub.2 --, in which case attached to R.sup.4, heterocyclyl, thiocyanato or the grouping ##STR3## in which R.sup.5 represents alkyl, ##STR4## in which Y represents oxygen or sulphur and radical which contains at least one nitrogen or oxygen atom, and halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio, halogenoalkylthio, alkenyl, halogenoalkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkenylthio, alkinyl, alkinyloxy, alkinylthio, amino which is optionally substituted by alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aryloxy, optionally substituted arylthio, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyloxy, optionally substituted cycloalkylthio, optionally substituted cycloalkylamnino or represent an optionally substituted, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic radical, or attached represent an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical,
In the definitions, the saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon chains, such as alkyl, alkenyl or alkinyl, are in each case straight-chain or branched, including in combination with hetero atoms, such as in alkoxy, alkylthio or alkylamino.
Furthermore, it has been found that imidazole derivatives of the formula (I) and also their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes are obtained when ##STR5## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each as defined above and are reacted with halides of the formula presence of a diluent, ##STR6## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and A are each as defined above are reacted with hydrogen sulphide, if appropriate in the presence of a base and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or when ##STR7## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and A are each as defined above are reacted with alkylating agents of the formula presence of a diluent, compounds of the formula (I).
Finally, it has been found that the imidazole derivatives of the formula (I) and also their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes have very good microbicidal properties and can be employed both in crop protection and in the protection of materials for controlling undesirable microorganisms.
Surprisingly, the substances according to the invention have better fungicidal activity than 4-chloro-2-cyano-1-morpholine-N-ylsulphonyl-5-phenylimidazole or 4-chloro-2-cyano-5-phenyl-1-(2-thienylsulphonyl)-imidazole, which are constitutionally similar prior-art active compounds of the same direction of action.
The formula (I) provides a general definition of the substances according to the invention. ano
