Description

New substituted benzothiazine pyridine compounds for combatting phytopathogenic fungi

The present invention relates to new substituted pyridyl benzothiazine derivatives and the N- oxides and the salts thereof, as well as to their use as fungicides. The invention also relates to the composition comprising at least one compound I, to the method for combating phytopathogenic fungi and to the seed coated with at least one compound of the formula I.

JP2011148714, WO 2009/119089, WO 2010/125782, WO 2023/111215 disclose some similar compounds. However, in many cases, in particular at low application rates, the fungicidal activity of known compounds is unsatisfactory. Based on this, it was an objective of the present invention to provide compounds having improved activity and/or a broader activity spectrum against phytopathogenic fungi. Another object of the present invention is to provide fungicides with improved toxicological properties or with improved environmental fate properties.

These and further objects are achieved by the pyridyl compounds of formula (I), as defined below, and by their agriculturally suitable.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to the compounds of formula I wherein

R¹ is in each case independently selected from halogen, CN, Ci-C4-alkyl, C1-C4- halogenalkyl, C2-Ce-alkenyl, C2-Ce-alkynyl, Cs-Ce-cycloalkyl;

R² is in each case independently selected from halogen, CN, Ci-C4-alkyl, C1-C4- halogenalkyl, C2-Ce-alkenyl, C2-Ce-alkynyl, Cs-Ce-cycloalkyl;

R³ is in each case independently selected from O-phenyl, O-benzyl , S-phenyl, S-benzyl, N(X¹)-phenyl, N(X¹)-benzyl, five- or six-membered O -heteroaryl, five- or six-membered S -heteroaryl, five- or six-membered N(X¹) -heteroaryl; wherein the heteroaryl contains one, two or three heteroatoms selected from N, O and S; and wherein the aliphatic or aromatic radicals are unsubstituted or carry 1 , 2 or 3 substituents R^3a; where each R^3a is independently selected from halogen, CN, Ci-Ce-alkyl, Ci-Ce-haloalkyl or O- Ci-Ce-alkyl;

X¹ is independently selected from H, CN, Ci-Ce-alkyl, Ci-Ce-alkenyl, Cs-Ce-cycloalkyl or O-Ci-Ce-alkyl;

R⁴ is in each case independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, CN, Ci-Ce-alkyl, C2-C6- alkenyl, O-Ci-Ce-alkyl, S-Ci-Ce-alkyl; or the N-oxides, tautomers, stereoisomers or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof.

The N-oxides may be prepared from the inventive compounds according to conventional oxidation methods, e. g. by treating compounds I with an organic peracid such as metachloroperbenzoic acid (cf. WO 03/64572 or J. Med. Chem. 38(11), 1892-903, 1995); or with inorganic oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide (cf. J. Heterocyc. Chem. 18(7), 1305-8, 1981) or oxone (cf. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123(25), 5962-5973, 2001). The oxidation may lead to pure mono-N-oxides or to a mixture of different N-oxides, which can be separated by conventional methods such as chromatography.

Agriculturally acceptable salts of the compounds of the formula I encompass especially the salts of those cations or the acid addition salts of those acids whose cations and anions, respectively, have no adverse effect on the fungicidal action of the compounds I. Suitable cations are thus in particular the ions of the alkali metals, preferably sodium and potassium, of the alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium, magnesium and barium, of the transition metals, preferably manganese, copper, zinc and iron, and also the ammonium ion which, if desired, may be substituted with one to four Ci-C4-alkyl substituents and/or one phenyl or benzyl substituent, preferably diisopropylammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, trimethylbenzylammonium, furthermore phosphonium ions, sulfonium ions, preferably tri (C1-C4- alkyl)sulfonium, and sulfoxonium ions, preferably tri(Ci-C4-alkyl)sulfoxonium.

Anions of acceptable acid addition salts are primarily chloride, bromide, fluoride, hydrogensulfate, sulfate, dihydrogenphosphate, hydrogenphosphate, phosphate, nitrate, bicarbonate, carbonate, hexafluorosilicate, hexafluorophosphate, benzoate, and the anions of Ci-C4-alkanoic acids, preferably formate, acetate, propionate and butyrate. They can be formed by reacting a compound I with an acid of the corresponding anion, preferably of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid.

Compounds of the formula I can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers arising from restricted rotation about a single bond of asymmetric groups and geometric isomers. They also form part of the subject matter of the present invention. One skilled in the art will appreciate that one stereoisomer may be more active and/or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s) or when separated from the other stereoisomer(s). Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. The compounds of the invention may be present as a mixture of stereoisomers, e.g. a racemate, individual stereoisomers, or as an optically active form.

Compounds of the formula I can be present in different crystal modifications whose biological activity may differ. They also form part of the subject matter of the present invention.

The compounds I and the compositions thereof, respectively, are suitable as fungicides effective against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, including soil-borne fungi, in particular from the classes of Plasmodiophoromycetes, Peronosporomycetes (syn. Oomyce- tes), Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes (syn. Fungi imperfecti). They can be used in crop protection as foliar fungicides, fungicides for seed dressing, and soil fungicides.

The compounds I and the compositions thereof are preferably useful in the control of phytopathogenic fungi on various cultivated plants, such as cereals, e.g. wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats, or rice; beet, e.g. sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, e.g. pomes (apples, pears, etc.), stone fruits (e.g. plums, peaches, almonds, cherries), or soft fruits, also called berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, etc.); leguminous plants, e.g. lentils, peas, alfalfa, or soybeans; oil plants, e.g. oilseed rape, mustard, olives, sunflowers, coconut, cocoa beans, castor oil plants, oil palms, ground nuts, or soybeans; cucurbits, e.g. squashes, cucumber, or melons; fiber plants, e.g. cotton, flax, hemp, or jute; citrus fruits, e.g. oranges, lemons, grapefruits, or mandarins; vegetables, e.g. spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits, or paprika; lauraceous plants, e.g. avocados, cinnamon, or camphor; energy and raw material plants, e.g. corn, soybean, oilseed rape, sugar cane, or oil palm; corn; tobacco; nuts; coffee; tea; bananas; vines (table grapes and grape juice grape vines); hop; turf; sweet leaf (also called Stevia); natural rubber plants; or ornamental and forestry plants, e.g. flowers, shrubs, broad-leaved trees, or evergreens (conifers, eucalypts, etc.); on the plant propagation material, such as seeds; and on the crop material of these plants.

More preferably, compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively are used for controlling fungi on field crops, such as potatoes, sugar beets, tobacco, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, oilseed rape, legumes, sunflowers, coffee or sugar cane; fruits; vines; ornamentals; or vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, beans or squashes.

The term "plant propagation material" is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant, such as seeds; and vegetative plant materials, such as cuttings and tubers (e.g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants; including seedlings and young plants to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil.

Preferably, treatment of plant propagation materials with compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, is used for controlling fungi on cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats; rice, corn, cotton and soybeans.

According to the invention all of the above cultivated plants are understood to comprise all species, subspecies, variants, varieties and/or hybrids which belong to the respective cultivated plants, including but not limited to winter and spring varieties, in particular in cereals such as wheat and barley, as well as oilseed rape, e.g. winter wheat, spring wheat, winter barley etc, further including dwarf, semi-dwarf and full-dwarf varieties and/or hybrids with reduced height and thicker and shorter stems, e.g. short stature corn (also called ‘smart corn’), semi-dwarf wheat and dwarf rice.

Corn is also known as Indian corn or maize (Zea mays) which comprises all kinds of corn such as field corn and sweet corn. According to the invention all maize or corn subspecies and/or varieties are comprised, in particular flour corn (Zea mays var. amylacea), popcorn (Zea mays var. everta), dent corn (Zea mays var. indentata), flint corn (Zea mays var. i nd u rata), sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata and var. rugosa), waxy corn (Zea mays var. ceratina), amylomaize (high amylose Zea mays varieties), pod corn or wild maize (Zea mays var. tunicata) and striped maize (Zea mays var. japonica).

Most soybean cultivars are classifiable into indeterminate and determinate growth habit, whereas Glycine soja, the wild progenitor of soybean, is indeterminate (PNAS 2010, 107 (19) 8563-8568). The indeterminate growth habit (Maturity Group, MG 00 to MG 4.9) is characterized by a continuation of vegetative growth after flowering begins whereas determinate soybean varieties (MG 5 to MG 8) characteristically have finished most of their vegetative growth when flowering begins. According to the invention all soybean cultivars or varieties are comprised, in particular indeterminate and determinate cultivars or varieties.

The term "cultivated plants" is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering to provide a new trait to a plant or to modify an already present trait. Mutagenesis includes random mutagenesis using X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, but also targeted mutagenesis to create mutations at a specific locus of a plant genome. Targeted mutagenesis frequently uses oligonucleotides or proteins like CRISPR/Cas, zinc-finger nucleases, TALENs or meganucleases. Genetic engineering usually uses recombinant DNA techniques to create modifications in a plant genome which under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutagenesis or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes are integrated into the genome of a plant to add a trait or improve or modify a trait. These integrated genes are also referred to as transgenes, while plant comprising such transgenes are referred to as transgenic plants. The process of plant transformation usually produces several transformation events, wich differ in the genomic locus in which a transgene has been integrated. Plants comprising a specific transgene on a specific genomic locus are usually described as comprising a specific “event”, which is referred to by a specific event name. Traits which have been introduced in plants or have been modified include herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, increased yield and tolerance to abiotic conditions, like drought. Herbicide tolerance has been created by using mutagenesis and genetic engineering. Plants which have been rendered tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by mutagenesis and breeding are e.g. available under the name Clearfield®. Herbicide tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, oxynil herbicides, like bromoxynil and ioxynil, sulfonylurea herbicides, ALS inhibitors and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors, like isoxaflutole and mesotrione, has been created via the use of transgenes.

Cultivated plants comprising a modified oil content have been created by using the transgenes: gm-fad2-1, Pj.D6D, Nc.Fad3, fad2-1A and fatb1-A (e.g. soybean events 260-05, MON87705 and MON87769).

Tolerance to abiotic conditions, such as drought, has been created by using the transgene cspB (corn event MON87460) and Hahb-4 (soybean event IND-00410-5).

Traits are frequently combined by combining genes in a transformation event or by combining different events during the breeding process resulting in a cultivated plant with stacked traits. Preferred combinations of traits are combinations of herbicide tolerance traits to different groups of herbicides, combinations of insect tolerance to different kind of insects, in particular tolerance to lepidopteran and coleopteran insects, combinations of herbicide tolerance with one or several types of insect resistance, combinations of herbicide tolerance with increased yield as well as combinations of herbicide tolerance and tolerance to abiotic conditions.

The compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, are particularly suitable for controlling the following causal agents of plant diseases: rusts on soybean and cereals (e.g. Phakopsora pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae on soy; Pucci nia tritici and P. striiformis on wheat); molds on specialty crops, soybean, oil seed rape and sunflowers (e.g. Botrytis cinerea on strawberries and vines, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. minor and S. rolfsii on oil seed rape, sunflowers and soybean); Fusarium diseases on cereals (e.g. Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum on wheat); downy mildews on specialty crops (e.g. Plasmopara viticola on vines, Phytophthora infestans on potatoes); powdery mildews on specialty crops and cereals (e.g. Uncinula necatoron vines, Erysiphe spp. on various specialty crops, Blumeria graminis on cereals); and leaf spots on cereals, soybean and corn (e.g. Septoria tritici and S. nodorum on cereals, S. glycines on soybean, Cercospora spp. on corn and soybean).

It has been observed that populations of phytopathogenic fungi apparently consisting of non-resistant strains can readily develop resistance. The compounds can be applied under such conditions, too, to prevent the formation of resistance and the spread of resistant strains altogether. In this regard it is useful that they have strong activity also against non- resistant phytopathogenic fungi.

Fungicide-resistant strains of various phytopathogenic fungi have been reported, with strains resistant to one or more fungicides from various mode of action classes being observed by target-site mutations in the genes of the respective proteins (e.g. Qol (C3, according to FRAC convention, for details www.frac.info), quinone outside stigmatellin binding subsite inhibitors (QoSI; C8), and quinone inside inhibitors (Qil; C4): CytB target protein; sterol demethylation (DMI, G1): Cyp51/Erg11 ; carboxylic acid amides (CAA, H5): CesA3; SDHI (C2): SdhB, SdhC and SdhD; dicarboximides (E3): Os-1 (including Bos1, Daf1 etc.); keto reductase inhibitors (KRI; Class III SBIs; G3): Erg27; and oxysterol binding protein inhibitors (OSBPI; F9): ORP1.

Examples of mutation sites of genes encoding such target proteins resulting in the listed single amino acid exchanges, deletions or insertions in the respective target protein sequences conferring resistance against certain fungicides in phytopathogenic fungi are indicated in Table M (see also Pest Manag Sci 72(8) 2016: 1449-1459).

Table M:

* based on alignment to reference sequence from Phytophthora infestans', ** G54E/K/R/V/W indicates the possibility of five different amino acid hanges at position 54; A indicates a deletion of an amino acid; # refers to an amino acid insertion.

Thus, compounds I are particularly useful to control such fungicide-resistant strains of phytopathogenic fungi described in Table M. Such strains may have one or more resistances derived from one or more mutations of one or more genes encoding target proteins of various kinds of the fungicides including but not limited to the mutations listed in Table M and/or a resistance derived from an overexpression of the respective target protein.

In addition, certain strains of fungi may have developed so-called multidrug resistance eventually leading to a broad cross resistance to many structurally and functionally unrelated compounds. "Multidrug resistance” (MDR) also called “pleiotropic drug resistance” (PDR) describes a resistance phenomenon usually caused by overexpression of certain membrane transporters, leading to an increased activity of efflux pump which export certain substrates, e.g., fungal toxins but also fungicidal compounds. Examples of such membrane transporters include ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) transporters. Overexpression of membrane transporters can be confirmed, e.g., by measuring an amount of the transporter protein or of the corresponding mRNA. The measured amount of mRNA may be, e.g., 2-fold, 5-fold, 20-fold, up to 100-fold or more, relative to the mRNA amount of the corresponding fungicide-sensitive wild-type fungus.

The compounds I of the present invention can be applied to control a plant disease that is caused by a multidrug-resistant (MDR) fungus. The multidrug-resistant fungus may have in addition one or more resistances derived from one or more mutations of one or more genes encoding target proteins of various kinds of the fungicides including but not limited to the mutations listed in Table M and/or a resistance derived from an overexpression of the target protein. Thus, compounds I are also particularly useful to control such multidrug-resistant fungi.

The compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, are also suitable for controlling harmful microorganisms in the protection of stored products or harvest, and in the protection of materials.

The term "stored products or harvest" is understood to denote natural substances of plant or animal origin and their processed forms for which long-term protection is desired. Stored products of plant origin, for example stalks, leaves, tubers, seeds, fruits or grains, can be protected in the freshly harvested state or in processed form, such as pre-dried, moistened, comminuted, ground, pressed or roasted, which process is also known as post-harvest treatment. Also falling under the definition of stored products is timber, whether in the form of crude timber, such as construction timber, electricity pylons and barriers, or in the form of finished articles, such as furniture or objects made from wood. Stored products of animal origin are hides, leather, furs, hairs and alike. Preferably, "stored products" is understood to denote natural substances of plant origin and their processed forms, more preferably fruits and their processed forms, such as pomes, stone fruits, soft fruits and citrus fruits and their processed forms, where application of compounds I and compositions thereof can also prevent disadvantageous effects such as decay, discoloration or mold.

The term "protection of materials" is to be understood to denote the protection of technical and non-living materials, such as adhesives, glues, wood, paper, paperboard, textiles, leather, paint dispersions, plastics, cooling lubricants, fiber, or fabrics against the infestation and destruction by harmful microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria.

When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active substance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg of active substance per cubic meter of treated material.

The compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, may be used for improving the health of a plant. The invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagation material, and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with an effective amount of compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively.

The term "plant health" is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other, such as yield (e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), plant vigor (e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”)), quality (e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients), and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other.

The compounds I are employed as such or in form of compositions by treating the fungi, the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds; soil, surfaces, materials, or rooms to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active substances. The application can be carried out both before and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds; soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the fungi.

An agrochemical composition comprises a fungicidally effective amount of a compound I. The term "fungicidally effective amount" denotes an amount of the composition or of the compounds I, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi on cultivated plants or in the protection of stored products or harvest or of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants, the treated stored products or harvest, or to the treated materials. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species to be controlled, the treated cultivated plant, stored product, harvest or material, the climatic conditions, and the specific compound I used.

Plant propagation materials may be treated with compounds I as such or a composition comprising at least one compound I prophylactically either at or before planting or transplanting.

When employed in plant protection, the amounts of active substances applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 2 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, and in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha.

In treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds, e.g. by dusting, coating, or drenching, amounts of active substance of generally from 0.1 to 1000 g, preferably from 1 to 1000 g, more preferably from 1 to 100 g and most preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kg of plant propagation material (preferably seeds) are required. The user applies the agrochemical composition usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane, or an irrigation system. Usually, the agrochemical composition is made up with water, buffer, and/or further auxiliaries to the desired application concentration and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus obtained. Usually, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area.

The compounds I and the compositions containing them may be applied in combination with, or by utilizing smart agricultural technologies, such as precision agriculture, remote and proximate imaging and image recognition, or smart agricultural site management programs. Such technologies typically include models, e.g. computer programs, that support the user by considering information from a variety of sources to increase quality and yield of harvested material, reduce damage by pests including the prediction of pest pressure and smart application of crop protection products, secure environmental protection, support quick and reliable agronomic decision making, reduce usage of fertilizers and crop protection products, reduce product residues in consumables, increase spatial and temporal precision of agronomical measures, automate processes, and enable traceability of measures. Commercially available systems which include agronomic models are e.g. FieldScripts™ (The Climate Corporation), Xarvio™ (BASF) and AGLogic™ (John Deere).

Information input for these models include but is not limited to soil data, information on the plants that are currently growing or that may grow at the area of interest including crops and/or unwanted vegetation, weather information, information on the location of the area and directly derivable information thereof, information on pest pressure, information on beneficial organisms, comprising forecast, present and I or historic information of any of the aforementioned.

The information usable for precision agriculture may be based on input by at least one user, be accessible from external data sources and databases, or be based on sensor data. Data sources typically include proximate-detection systems like soil-borne sensors and remote sensing as may be achieved by imaging with unmanned airborne vehicles like drones, or satellites. Sensors may be included in an Internet-of-Things system and may be directly or indirectly connected to the processing unit, e.g. via a wireless network and/or cloud applications. The information is typically taken into account by at least one processing unit and used to provide recommendations, and to generate control signals.

Typical technologies that are used in smart agricultural technologies include self-steering robots (such as tractors, harvesters, drones), artificial intelligence (e.g. machine learning), imaging technologies (e.g. image segmentation technologies), big data analysis, and model generation, cloud computing, and machine-to-machine communication.

Precision agriculture such as precision farming is characterized by spatially and/or temporally resolved, targeted application of active ingredients like pesticides, plant-growth-regulators, ferthlizers, and/or water including the variation of application rates over the agronomic site, zone or spot application, and of the spatially and/or temporally resolved, targeted planting or seeding of desired plant propagation material to an agronomic site. Precision farming typically includes the use of geo-positioning technologies like GPS for gaining information on the location and bounda-ries of the area of interest, the utilized application equipment, sensing equipment and recorded data, and to control the actions of farm vehicles such as spraying. By combining geopositioning data with (digital) maps, it is possible to (semi)-automate agricultural measures at the site of interest, e.g. by using (semi)-autonomous spraying or seeding equipment.

Precision farming may typically include the application of smart spraying equipment, e.g. spot spraying, and precision spraying at a farm, e.g. by irrigation systems, tractors, robots, helicopters, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones. Such equipment usually includes input sensors (e.g. camera) and a processing unit configured to analyze the input data and configured to provide a recommendation or decision based on the analysis of input data to apply the compounds I or compositions comprising them to the agronomic site, e.g. the soil, the crop plants, or to control pests in a specific and precise manner. Pests may be detected, identified, and/or classified from imagery acquired by a camera. Such identification and classification can make use of image processing algorithms, which may utilize artificial intelligence (e.g. machine learning algorithms), or decision trees. In this manner, the compounds I or compositions described herein can be applied only at the required location, point in time and dose rate.

The compounds I, their N-oxides and salts can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes, granules, pressings, capsules, and mixtures thereof. Examples for composition types (see also “Catalogue of pesticide formulation types and international coding system”, Technical Monograph No. 2, 6^th Ed. May 2008, CropLife International) are suspensions (e.g. SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (e.g. EC), emulsions (e.g. EW, EO, ES, ME), capsules (e.g. CS, ZC), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (e.g. WP, SP, WS, DP, DS), pressings (e.g. BR, TB, DT), granules (e.g. WG, SG, GR, FG, GG, MG), insecticidal articles (e.g. LN), as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials, such as seeds (e.g. GF).

These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1 : 100 to 100: 1 , preferably 1 : 10 to 10: 1.

A pesticide is generally a chemical or biological agent (such as pesticidal active ingredient, compound, composition, virus, bacterium, antimicrobial, or disinfectant) that through its effect deters, incapacitates, kills, or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease or are vectors for disease. The term “pesticide” includes also plant growth regulators that alter the expected growth, flowering, or reproduction rate of plants; defoliants that cause leaves or other foliage to drop from a plant, usually to facilitate harvest; desiccants that promote drying of living tissues, such as unwanted plant tops; plant activators that activate plant physiology for defense of against certain pests; safeners that reduce unwanted herbicidal action of pesticides on crop plants; and plant growth promoters that affect plant physiology e.g. to increase plant growth, biomass, yield or any other quality parameter of the harvestable goods of a crop plant. Biopesticides have been defined as a form of pesticides based on microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, etc.) or natural products (compounds, such as metabolites, proteins, or extracts from biological or other natural sources) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/). Biopesticides fall into two major classes, microbial and biochemical pesticides:

(1) Microbial pesticides consist of bacteria, fungi or viruses (and often include the metabolites that bacteria and fungi produce). Entomopathogenic nematodes are also classified as microbial pesticides, even though they are multi-cellular.

(2) Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests or provide other crop protection uses as defined below, but are relatively non-toxic to mammals.

Mixing the compounds I or the compositions comprising them in the use form as fungicides with other fungicides results in many cases in an expansion of the fungicidal spectrum of activity or in a prevention of fungicide resistance development. Furthermore, in many cases, synergistic effects are obtained (synergistic mixtures).

The following list of pesticides II, in conjunction with which the compounds I can be used, is intended to illustrate the possible combinations but does not limit them:

According to the invention, the solid material (dry matter) of the biopesticides (with the exception of oils such as Neem oil) are considered as active components (e.g. to be obtained after drying or evaporation of the extraction or suspension medium in case of liquid formulations of the microbial pesticides). The weight ratios and percentages used for a biological extract such as Qui Hay extract are based on the total weight of the dry content (solid material) of the respective extract(s).

The total weight ratios of compositions comprising at least one microbial pesticide in the form of viable microbial cells including dormant forms, can be determined using the amount of CFU of the respective microorganism to calculate the total weight of the respective active component with the following equation that 1 x 10¹⁰ CFU equals one gram of total weight of the respective active component. Colony forming unit is measure of viable microbial cells. In addition, CFU may also be understood as the number of (juvenile) individual nematodes in case of nematode biopesticides, such as Steinernema feltiae.

In the binary mixtures the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) generally depends from the properties of the components used, usually it is in the range of from 1:10,000 to 10,000: 1 , often from 1 : 100 to 100: 1 , regularly from 1 :50 to 50: 1 , preferably from 1 :20 to 20: 1 , more preferably from 1:10 to 10:1, even more preferably from 1:4 to 4:1 and in particular from 1:2 to 2:1.

According to further embodiments, the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) usually is in the range of from 10:1 to 1:20,000, often from 1:1 to 1 :10,000, regularly from 1:5 to 1:5,000, preferably from 1 :10 to 1 :5,000, more preferably from 1 :30 to 1 :2,000, even more preferably from 1:100 to 1 :2,000 to and in particular from 1:100 to 1 :1 ,000.

In the ternary mixtures, i.e. compositions comprising the component 1) and component 2) and a compound III (component 3), the weight ratio of component 1) and component 2) depends from the properties of the active substances used, usually it is in the range of from 1 :100 to 100:1, regularly from 1:50 to 50:1 , preferably from 1:20 to 20:1 , more preferably from 1 :10 to 10:1 and in particular from 1 :4 to 4:1 , and the weight ratio of component 1) and component 3) usually it is in the range of from 1 :100 to 100:1 , regularly from 1 :50 to 50:1 , preferably from 1 :20 to 20:1 , more preferably from 1 : 10 to 10: 1 and in particular from 1 :4 to 4: 1 . Any further active components are, if desired, added in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1 :20 to the component 1). These ratios are also suitable for mixtures applied by seed treatment.

I. Synthesis examples

-5-methylpyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-8-phenoxy-2/7-

Step 1 : Preparation of methyl 2-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoate

To a solution of methyl 2-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzoate (736.4 mg, 4.33 mmol) and 4A MS (3.0 g) in DCE (40 mL) was added PhB(OH)₂ (1.3 g, 10.82 mmol), EfeN (2.2 g, 21.64 mmol) and Cu(OAc)₂ (1.18 g, 6.49 mmol) at 20°C. The mixture was stirred at 40°C for 4 h under O₂ (15 psi). TLC (PE: EtOAc = 5:1) showed the reaction was completed. The reaction mixture was quenched by addition of H₂O (10 mL) at 25 °C and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was purified by column (PE/EtOAc = 90%: 10%) to give methyl 2-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoate (1.33 g, crude) as a colorless oil.

¹H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) 5 [ppm] = 7.69 (ddd, J=7.82, 6.07, 1.88 Hz, 1 H) 7.32 - 7.38 (m, 2 H) 7.26 - 7.31 (m, 1 H) 7.19 - 7.25 (m, 1 H) 7.09 - 7.15 (m, 1 H) 6.93 - 6.99 (m, 2 H) 3.91 (s, 3 H)

Step 2: Preparation of methyl 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoate

To a solution of PMBSH (338.2 mg, 2.19 mmol) in DMA (10 mL) was added NaH (60%, 87.71 mg, 2.19 mmol) at 0 °C. After addition, the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 0.5 hr, then methyl 2-fluoro-3- phenoxybenzoate (0.45 g, 1.83 mmol) in DMA (5 mL) was added dropwise at 0 °C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 hr. TLC (PE: EtOAc = 5:1) showed the reaction was completed. Three batches reaction were combined. The reaction mixture was quenched by NH4CI aq. (10 mL) at 25 °C, and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was purified by column (PE : EtOAc=80%: 20%) to give methyl 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoate (1.3 g, 62%) as a yellow oil.

¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃) 6 [ppm] = 7.33 - 7.42 (m, 2 H) 7.23 - 7.30 (m, 3 H) 7.12 - 7.17 (m, 2 H) 6.94 - 7.02 (m, 3 H) 6.73 - 6.81 (m, 2 H) 4.11 (s, 2 H) 3.92 (s, 3 H) 3.78 (s, 3 H). Step 3: Preparation of 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoic acid

To a solution of methyl 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoate (2.3 g, 6.05 mmol) in MeOH (25 mL) and H₂O (5 mL) was added LiOH H₂O (434.33 mg, 18.14 mmol) in one portion at 20°C. The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 2h. LCMS showed reaction was completed. The reaction mixture was quenched by HCI (aq. 1M) to adjust pH=2~3 at 25°C, and extracted with EtOAc (15 mL x 2). The combined organic layers were dried over Na₂SC>4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (2.2 g, crude) as yellow oil. The crude product was used for directly in the next step without further purification.

¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI₃) 6 [ppm] = 7.95 (dd, J=7.88, 1.25 Hz, 1 H) 7.35 - 7.44 (m, 3 H) 7.15 - 7.22 (m, 1 H) 7.04 - 7.13 (m, 3 H) 6.98 (d, J=7.75 Hz, 2 H) 6.73 - 6.78 (m, 2 H) 4.14 (s, 2 H) 3.77 (s, 3 H).

Step 4: Preparation of 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzamide

To a solution of 2-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (2.2 g, 6.00 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added (COCI)₂ (1.14 g, 9.01 mmol) dropwise and DMF (43.88 mg, 600.39 pmol) at 0°C. After addition, the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 2h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the acyl chloride was used directly in the next step directly.

Then to a solution of NH₃ H₂O (25-28%) (2.10 g, 18.01 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added acyl chloride in THF (10 mL) at 0°C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 20°C for 2h.

The fungicidal action of the mixtures according to the invention can be shown by the tests described below.

The visually determined percentages of infected leaf areas are converted into efficacies in % of the untreated control.

The efficacy (E) is calculated as follows using Abbot's formula:

E = (1 - a/p) ■ 100 a corresponds to the fungicidal infection of the treated plants in % and

P corresponds to the fungicidal infection of the untreated (control) plants in %

An efficacy of 0 means that the infection level of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; an efficacy of 100 means that the treated plants were not infected.

The expected efficacies of active compound combinations may be determined using Colby's formula (Colby, S.R. "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations", Weeds, 15, pp. 20-22, 1967) and compared with the observed efficacies.

Colby's formula:

E = x+y - x y/100

E expected efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the mixture of the active compounds A and B at the concentrations a and b x efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the active compound A at the concentration a y efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the active compound B at the concentration b.
