ABSTRACT:
This application is a 371 of PCT/JP00/02764 Apr. 17, 2000.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to sulfonamide derivatives useful as microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use.
BACKGROUND ART
A lot of microbicides have ever been synthesized and used as microbicides for agriculture or horticulture. They have contributed greatly to supply agricultural products constantly. However, it is well-known that frequent use of restricted number of compounds has led to outbreak of microbes which are resistant to those drugs. In addition, recent rise in demand for the safety and environmental influence of chemical substances has made it desirable to develop safer microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use. This has given an intention to the researches to explore and research novel compounds with microbicidal activity. As for sulfonamide derivatives, a lot of compounds have also been synthesized so far from the interests in their biological or chemical characteristics. A majority of them are, however, synthetic intermediates, medicines, compounds prepared for the aim of elucidating chemical reaction mechanism or reagents. As for sulfonamide derivatives related to microbicides, there may be cited those described in Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 286366/1986, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 239264/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 238006/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 307851/1988, Japanese Patent Publication for Laid-Open 156952/1989, and in J. Med. Chem. 1983, 26, 1741, and in DE19725447, and so on.
Nevertheless, no sulfonamide derivative has been developed yet, which is safe and has little influence on human beings and firm animals, natural enemies, and the environment, and exert excellent protective effects even on drug-resistant microbes.
Disclosure of Invention
The present inventors have made intensive efforts for many years in order to find out compounds which have excellent microbicidal action and solve the problems mentioned above. As the results, they have found that the compounds represented by the formula I
