Description

The present application relates to novel halogen-substituted compounds, to processes for their preparation and to their use for controlling animal pests, especially arthropods and in particular insects, arachnids and nematodes.

It is known that certain halogen-substituted compounds are herbicidally effective (cf. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62(17), 5908-5919, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1998, 35(6), 1493-1499, WO 2004/035545, WO 2004/106324, US 2006/069132, WO 2008/029084).

In addition, it is known that certain halogen-substituted compounds have cytokine-inhibitory activities (WO 00/07980).

However, nothing is known about the use of such halogen-substituted compounds for controlling animal pests, in particular as crop protection compositions.

Modern crop protection compositions have to satisfy many requirements, for example with regard to level, duration and scope of their effect and possible use. Questions of toxicity, of combinability with other active ingredients or formulation auxiliaries play a role, as does the question of complexity which is required for the synthesis of an active ingredient. Furthermore, resistances may occur. For all of these reasons, the search for novel crop protection compositions can never be considered complete and there is a continuing need for novel compounds with improved properties compared with the known compounds at least with regard to individual aspects.

It was an object of the present invention to provide compounds through which the spectrum of the pest control compositions is broadened from various aspects.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain halogen-substituted compounds, and their N-oxides and salts, have biological properties and are particularly suitable for controlling animal pests, and can therefore be used particularly well in the agrochemical sector and in the field of animal health.

This invention provides the use of the described compounds for controlling animal pests in agriculture and in animal health. In addition, this invention also provides novel compounds which have the uses described above and also processes for their preparation.

According to the invention, “heterocycle”, “heterocyclic ring” or “heterocyclic ring system” is a carbocyclic ring system with at least one ring in which at least one carbon atom is replaced by a heteroatom, preferably by a heteroatom from the group consisting of N, O, S, P, B, Si, Se and which is saturated, unsaturated or heteroaromatic and may be unsubstituted or substituted by a substituent Z, where the bonding site is localized on a ring atom. Unless defined otherwise, the heterocyclic ring comprises preferably 3 to 9 ring atoms, in particular 3 to 6 ring atoms, and one or more, preferably 1 to 4, in particular 1, 2 or 3, heteroatoms in the heterocyclic ring, preferably from the group consisting of N, O and S, where, however, two oxygen atoms should not be directly adjacent. The heterocyclic rings usually comprise not more than 4 nitrogen atoms, and/or not more than 2 oxygen atoms and/or not more than 2 sulphur atoms.

As is known, tert-amines, such as, for example, some of the compounds according to the invention, can form N-oxides, which likewise constitute salts according to the invention.

In addition, preferred embodiments of the invention are the compounds of the general formulae (Ia) to (Iv).

The compounds according to the invention can be present as geometric and/or as optically active isomers or corresponding isomer mixtures in varying composition depending on the nature of the substituents. These stereoisomers are, for example, enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers or geometric isomers. The invention thus encompasses pure stereoisomers and also any desired mixtures of these isomers.

The compounds according to the invention can, if appropriate, be present in various polymorphic forms or as a mixture of different polymorphic forms. Both the pure polymorphs and also the polymorph mixtures are provided by the invention can be used according to the invention.

Finally, it has been found that the novel compounds of the formula (I), coupled with good plant compatibility, favourable toxicity to warm-blooded animals and good environmental compatibility, are suitable in particular for controlling animal pests, in particular arthropods, insects, arachnids, helminths, nematodes and molluscs, which are encountered in agriculture, in forestry, in the protection of stored products and of materials, and also in the hygiene sector or in the area of animal health. The compounds according to the invention can likewise be used in the field of animal health, for example for controlling endo- and/or ectoparasites.

The compounds according to the invention can be used as compositions for controlling animals pests, preferably as crop protection compositions. They are effective against normally sensitive and resistant species and against all or some stages of development.

The compounds according to the invention can be converted to generally known formulations. Such formulations generally comprise from 0.01 to 98% by weight of active ingredient, preferably from 0.5 to 90% by weight.

The compounds according to the invention can be present in their standard commercial formulations and in application forms prepared from these formulations in a mixture with other active ingredients or synergists. Synergists are compounds through which the effect of the active ingredients is increased without the added synergist itself having to be actively effective.

The active ingredient content of the application forms prepared from the standard commercial formulations can vary within wide ranges. The active ingredient concentration of the application forms can be from 0.00000001 to 95% by weight of active ingredient, preferably from 0.00001 to 1% by weight.

The application takes place in a customary manner appropriate for the application forms.

According to the invention, all plants and plant parts can be treated. Here, plants are to be understood as meaning all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant cultivars protectable or nonprotectable by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits and seed material and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material, and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seed material.

Treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active ingredients takes place directly or by allowing the compounds to act on their surroundings, habitat or storage space by the customary treatment methods, e.g. by immersion, spraying, evaporation, fogging, scattering, painting on, injecting and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seed material, also by applying one or more coats.

As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as hybridizing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof, are treated. The terms “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” have been explained above.

Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are to be understood as meaning plants having new properties (“traits”) which have been cultivated by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. These can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes.

In the field of animal health, i.e. in the field of veterinary medicine, the active ingredients according to the present invention are effective against animal parasites, in particular ectoparasites or endoparasites. The term endoparasites includes in particular helminths, such as cestodes, nematodes or trematodes, and protozoa, such as coccidia. Ectoparasites are typically and preferably arthropods, in particular insects such as flies (stinging and licking), parasitic fly larvae, lice, hair lice, bird lice, fleas and the like; or acarids, such as ticks, for example hard ticks or soft ticks, or mites, such as scab mites, harvest mites, bird mites and the like.

Moreover, it has been found that the compounds according to the invention exhibit a high insecticidal effect against insects which destroy industrial materials. In the present context, industrial materials are to be understood as meaning inanimate materials, such as, preferably, plastics, adhesives, sizes, papers and cardboards, leather, wood and processed wood products and coating compositions.

Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention can be used alone or in combinations with other active ingredients as antifouling compositions.

The active ingredients are also suitable for controlling animal pests in domestic, hygiene and stored-product protection, in particular insects, arachnids and mites, which are found in enclosed spaces such as, for example, dwellings, factory halls, offices, vehicle cabins and the like. For controlling these pests, they can be used alone or in combination with other active ingredients and auxiliaries in domestic insecticide products. They are effective against sensitive and resistant species and also against all developmental stages.

Plants are to be understood as meaning all plant species, plant cultivars and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants. Crop plants to be treated according to the invention are plants which occur naturally, or those which have been obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or by combinations of the aforementioned methods. The term crop plant of course also encompasses transgenic plants.

Plant cultivars are understood as meaning plants with new properties, so-called traits, which have been cultivated either by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques or a combination thereof. These can be cultivars, strains, bio- and genotypes.

Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of the plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, in particular leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. Furthermore, the term plant parts encompasses harvested material and also vegetative and generative propagation material, such as, for example, cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seeds or seed material.

In one embodiment of the invention, plant species and plant cultivars which are naturally occurring or have been obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods (e.g. hybridization or protoplast fusion), and plant parts thereof, are treated.

In a further embodiment according to the invention, transgenic plants which have been obtained by genetic engineering methods, optionally in combination with conventional methods, and parts thereof, are treated.

The treatment method according to the invention is preferably used on genetically modified organisms, such as, for example, plants or plant parts.

Genetically modified plants, so-called transgenic plants, are plants in which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into the genome.

The term “heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which is provided or assembled outside of the plant and, when introduced into the nuclear, chloroplastic or hypochondrial genome, gives the transformed plant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing a protein or polypeptide of interest or by downregulating or silencing other gene(s) which is/are present in the plant (using, for example, antisense technology, cosuppression technology or RNAi technology [RNA interference]). A heterologous gene which is present in the genome is likewise called a transgene. A transgene that is defined by its specific presence in the plant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and their growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also lead to superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, the following effects, which exceed the effects which are actually to be expected, are possible: reduced application rates and/or extended activity spectrum and/or increased effectiveness of the active ingredients and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, larger plant height, greener leaf colour, earlier flowering, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration in the fruits, better storability and/or processability of the harvested products.

At certain application rates, the active ingredient combinations according to the invention may also have a strengthening effect in plants. They are therefore suitable for mobilizing the defence system of the plant against attack by undesired phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses. This may, if appropriate, be one of the reasons for the increased effectiveness of the combinations according to the invention, for example in respect of fungi. Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning in the present context also those substances or substance combinations which are capable of stimulating the defence system of plants in such a way that, when subsequently inoculated with undesired phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses, the treated plants have a considerable degree of resistance to these undesired phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses. In the present case, undesired phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or viruses are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and virsues. The substances according to the invention can therefore be used for protecting plants against attack by the mentioned pathogens within a certain period of time after treatment. The period of time over which a protective effect is achieved extends generally from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, following treatment of the plants with the active ingredients.

Plants which are also preferably treated according to the invention are resistant to one or more biotic stress factors, i.e. these plants have an improved defence against animal and microbial pests, such as nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids.

Besides the aforementioned plants and plant cultivars, according to the invention, it is also possible to treat those which are resistant to one or more abiotic stress factors.

Abiotic stress conditions can include, for example, drought, cold temperature conditions, heat conditions, osmotic stress, flooding, increased soil salt content, increased mineral exposure, ozone conditions, bright light conditions, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorus nutrients or shade avoidance.

Plants and plant cultivars which may likewise be treated according to the invention are those plants characterized by enhanced yield characteristics. Enhanced yield in said plants can be the result, for example, of improved plant physiology, improved plant growth and improved plant development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germinating power and accelerated maturation. The yield can moreover be influenced by improving plant architecture (under stress and nonstress conditions), including early flowering, flowering control for the production of hybrid seed material, seedling vigour, plant size, internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, pod size, pod or ear number, number of seeds per shoot or ear, seed mass, enhanced seed filling, reduced seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodging resistance. Further yield features include seed composition such as carbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and oil composition, nutritional value, reduction in antinutritional compounds, improved processability and better storability.

Plants which can be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants that already express the properties of heterosis or the hybrid effect, which results in generally higher yield, greater vigour, better health and better resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors. Such plants are typically produced by crossing an inbred male-sterile parent line (the female hybridization partner) with another inbred pollen-fertile parent line (the male hybridization partner). The hybrid seed material is typically harvested from the male-sterile plants and sold to growers. Male-sterile plants can sometimes (e.g. in the case of corn) be produced by detasseling (i.e. mechanically removing the male reproductive organs or the male flowers); however, it is more usual for the male sterility to be based on genetic determinants in the plant genome. In this case, and especially when the desired product to be harvested from the hybrid plants is seeds, it is typically favourable to ensure that the pollen fertility in hybrid plants which contain the genetic determinants responsible for the male sterility, is fully restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that the male hybridization partners have corresponding fertility restorer genes which are capable of restoring the male fertility in hybrid plants that contain the genetic determinants responsible for the male sterility. Genetic determinants for male sterility can be localized in the cytoplasm. Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been described, for example, for Brassica species. However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome. Male-sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396, where for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar.

Plants or plant cultivars (which are obtained using plant biotechnology methods, such as genetic engineering), which can be treated according to the invention are herbicide tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or more given herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance.

Herbicide-tolerant plants are, for example, glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. Thus, for example, glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding for the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp., the genes which encode a petunia EPSPS, a tomato EPSPS or an Eleusine EPSPS. It may also be a mutated EPSPS. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxidereductase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants which naturally occurring mutations of the aforementioned genes.

Other herbicide-resistant plants are, for example, plants which have been rendered tolerant to herbicides which inhibit the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme which detoxifies the herbicide or a mutant of the enzyme glutamine synthase that is resistant to inhibition. One such effective detoxifying enzyme is, for example, an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (such as, for example, the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species). Plants which express an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyl transferase have been described.

Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants which have been rendered tolerant to the herbicides which inhibit the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD). Hydroxyphenylpyruvate-dioxygenases are enzymes which catalyse the reaction in which para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) is converted to homogentisate. Plants which are tolerant to HPPD inhibitors can be transformed with a gene which encodes a naturally occurring resistant HPPD enzyme or a gene which encodes a mutated HPPD enzyme. Tolerance to HPPD inhibitors can also be attained by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes which permit the formation of homogentisate despite inhibition of the native HPPD enzyme by the HPPD inhibitor. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding a prephenate dehydrogenase enzyme in addition to a gene encoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme.

Further herbicide-resistant plants are plants which have been rendered tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS inhibitors include, for example, sulphonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidinyloxy(thio)benzoates and/or sulphonylaminocarbonylthiazolinone herbicides. It is known that different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxy acid synthase, AHAS) confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides. The production of sulphonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants is described in the international publication WO 1996/033270. Further sulphonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in, for example, WO 2007/024782.

Further plants which are tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulphonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or by mutation breeding.

Plants or plant cultivars (which have been obtained by plant biotechnology methods, such as genetic engineering) which can likewise be treated according to the invention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants rendered resistant to attack by certain target insects. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation which imparts such insect resistance.

In the present context, the term “insect-resistant transgenic plant” encompasses any plant containing at least one transgene which includes a coding sequence encoding the following:

  • 1) an insecticidal crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or an insecticidal portion thereof, such as the insecticidal crystal proteins which are described online at: http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/Home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/, has been listed, or insecticidal portions thereof, e.g. proteins of the Cry protein classes Cry1Ab, Cry 1Ac, Cry1F, Cry2Ab, Cry3Ae or Cry3Bb or insecticidal portions thereof;
  • 2) a crystal protein comprising Bacillus thuringiensis or a portion thereof which has an insecticidal effect in the presence of a second crystal protein other than Bacillus thuringiensis or a portion thereof, such as the binary toxin which consists of the crystal proteins Cy34 and Cy35; or
  • 3) an insecticidal hybrid protein which comprises portions of two different insecticidal crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as, for example, a hybrid of the proteins from 1) above or a hybrid of the proteins from 2) above, e.g. the protein Cry1A.105, which is produced by the maize event MON98034 (WO 2007/027777); or
  • 4) a protein according to any one of points 1) to 3) above wherein some, in particular 1 to 10, amino acids have been replaced by another amino acid in order to achieve higher insecticidal effectiveness in respect of a target insect species and/or in order to expand the spectrum of the corresponding target insect species and/or because of changes which have been induced in the encoding DNA during cloning or transformation, such as the Cry3Bb1 protein in the maize event MON863 or MON88017 or the Cry3A protein in the maize event MIR 604;
  • 5) an insecticidal secreted protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus or an insecticidal portion thereof, such as the vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP),
    • which are listed at http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/Home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/vip.html
    • e.g. proteins from the VIP3Aa protein class; or
  • 6) a secreted protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus, which has an insecticidal effect in the presence of a second secreted protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or B. cereus, such as the binary toxin which consists of the proteins VIP1A and VIP2A;
  • 7) an insecticidal hybrid protein comprising portions from different secreted proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus, such as a hybrid of the proteins in 1) or a hybrid of the proteins in 2) above; or
  • 8) a protein according to one of points 1) to 3) above, in which some, in particular 1 to 10, amino acids have been replaced by another amino acid in order to obtain higher insecticidal effectiveness in respect of a target insect species, and/or in order to expand the spectrum of the corresponding target insect species, and/or because of changes which have been induced in the encoding DNA during cloning or transformation (the encoding for an insecticidal protein being retained), such as the VIP3Aa protein in the cotton event COT 102.

The insect-resistant transgenic plants in the present context naturally also include those plants comprising a combination of genes encoding the proteins of one of the aforementioned classes 1 to 8. In one embodiment, an insect-resistant plant contains more than one transgene encoding a protein of any of the aforementioned classes 1 to 8 in order to expand the spectrum of the corresponding target insect species or in order to delay insect resistance development to the plants by using different proteins insecticidal to the same target insect species but having a different mode of action, such as binding to different receptor binding sites in the insect.

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can likewise be treated according to the invention are tolerant to abiotic stress factors. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation which imparts such stress resistance. Particularly useful plants with stress tolerance include the following:

    • a. plants which contain a transgene which is able to reduce the expression and/or activity of the gene for the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) in the plant cells or plants.
    • b. plants which contain a stress tolerance-enhancing transgene which is able to reduce the expression and/or activity of the PARG encoding genes of the plants or plant cells;
    • c. plants which contain a stress tolerance-enhancing transgene encoding a plant-functional enzyme of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide salvage biosynthesis pathway, including nicotinamidase, nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase, nicotinic acid mononucleotide adenyltransferase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthetase or nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase.

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can likewise be treated according to the invention have an altered amount, quality and/or storability of the harvested product and/or modified properties of certain constituents of the harvested products, such as, for example:

  • 1) Transgenic plants which synthesize a modified starch which, in respect of its chemicophysical properties, in particular the amylose content or the amylose/amylopectin ratio, the degree of branching, average chain length, the side chain distribution, the viscosity behaviour, the gelling strength, the starch grain size and/or starch grain morphology, is altered compared to the synthesized starch in wild type plant cells or plants, such that this modified starch is better suited for certain applications.
  • 2) Transgenic plants which synthesize non-starch carbohydrate polymers or non-starch carbohydrate polymers with altered properties compared to wild type plants without genetic modification. Examples are plants which produce polyfructose, in particular of the inulin and levan type, plants which produce alpha-1,4-glucans, plants which produce alpha-1,6-branched alpha-1,4-glucans and plants which produce alternan.
  • 3) Transgenic plants which produce hyaluronan.

Plants or plant cultivars (which have been obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can likewise be treated according to the invention are plants such as cotton plants with altered fibre properties. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such modified fibre properties and include:

    • a) plants such as cotton plants, which contain a modified form of cellulose synthase genes;
    • b) plants such as cotton plants which contain a modified form of rsw2 or rsw3 homologous nucleic acids;
    • c) plants such as cotton plants with an increased expression of sucrose phosphate synthase;
    • d) plants such as cotton plants with an increased expression of sucrose synthase;
    • e) plants such as cotton plants in which the time point of the plasmodesmatal gating at the base of the fibre cell is altered, e.g. through downregulation of fibre-selective β-1,3-glucanase;
  • f) plants such as cotton plants with fibres with altered reactivity, e.g. through expression of the N-acetylglucosaminetransferase gene including nodC, and chitin synthase genes.

Plants or plant cultivars (which have been obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can likewise be treated according to the invention are plants such as oilseed rape or related brassica plants having modified properties of the oil composition. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation which imparts such modified oil properties and include:

    • a) plants such as oilseed rape plants which produce oil with a high oleic acid content;
    • b) plants such as oilseed rape plants which produce oil with a low linolenic acid content;
    • c) plants such as oilseed rape plants which produce oil with a low saturated fatty acid content.

Particularly useful transgenic plants which can be treated according to the invention are plants with one or more genes encoding one or more toxins are the transgenic plants which are supplied under the following trade names: YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soybeans), KnockOut® (for example maize), BiteGard® (for example maize), BT-Xtra® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton), Nucotn 33B® (cotton), NatureGard® (for example maize), Protecta® and NewLeaf® (potato). Herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are, for example, maize varieties, cotton varieties and soybean varieties which are supplied under the following trade names: Roundup Ready® (glyphosate tolerance, for example maize, cotton, soybeans), Liberty Link® (phosphinotricin tolerance, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (imidazolinone tolerance) and SCS® (sulphonylurea tolerance), for example maize. Herbicide-resistant plants (plants traditionally cultivated for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties supplied under the name Clearfield® (for example maize).

Particularly useful transgenic plants which can be treated according to the invention are plants which contain transformation events or a combination of transformation events and which are listed, for example, in the databases of various national or regional authorities (see, for example, http://gmoinfo.jrc.it/gmp_browse.aspx and http://www.agbios.com/dbase.php).

The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active ingredient combinations is carried out directly or through action on their environment, habitat or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, vaporizing, misting, scattering, painting on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seed material, also by coating with one or more layers.

In particular, the mixtures according to the invention are suitable for treating seed material. In this connection, the combinations according to the invention specified above as preferred or particularly preferred are preferably to be mentioned. Thus, a large part of the damage to crop plants which is caused by pests occurs as early as when the seed material is infested during storage and after the seed material is introduced into the soil, as well as during and directly after germination of the plants. This phase is particularly critical since the roots and shoots of the growing plant are particularly sensitive and even minor damage can lead to the death of the whole plant. Protecting the seed material and the germinating plant through the use of suitable compositions is therefore of particularly great interest.

The control of pests by treating the seed material of plants has been known for a long time and is the subject of continual improvements. Nevertheless, the treatment of seed material entails a series of problems which cannot always be solved satisfactorily. Thus, it is desirable to develop methods for protecting the seed material and the germinating plant which dispense with the additional application of crop protection products after planting or after emergence of the plants. It is furthermore desirable to optimize the amount of active ingredient used in such a way as to provide optimum protection for the seed material and the germinating plant from attack by pests, but without damaging the plant itself by the active ingredient used. In particular, methods for the treatment of seed material should also take into consideration the intrinsic insecticidal properties of transgenic plants in order to achieve optimum protection of the seed material and of the germinating plant with a minimum of crop protection products being used.

The present invention therefore relates in particular also to a method for the protection of seed material and germinating plants from attack by pests, by treating the seed material with a composition according to the invention. The invention likewise relates to the use of the compositions according to the invention for the treatment of seed material for protecting the seed material and the plants resulting therefrom from pests. Furthermore, the invention relates to seed material which has been treated with a composition according to the invention for protection against pests.

It is one of the advantages of the present invention that the particular systemic properties of the compositions according to the invention mean that treatment of the seed material with these compositions not only protects the seed material itself, but also the resulting plants after emergence, from pests. In this manner, the immediate treatment of the crop at the time of sowing or shortly thereafter can be dispensed with.

A further advantage is the synergistic increase in the insecticidal effectiveness of the compositions according to the invention compared with the insecticidal individual active ingredient, which exceeds the expected effectiveness of the two active ingredients applied individually. The synergistic increase in the fungicidal effectiveness of the compositions according to the invention compared with the fungicidal individual active ingredient, which exceeds the expected effectiveness of the active ingredient applied individually, is also advantageous. This makes it possible to optimize the amount of active ingredients used.

It is likewise considered advantageous that the mixtures according to the invention can also be used in particular in transgenic seed material, in which case the plants resulting from this seed material are capable of expressing a protein directed against pests. By treating such seed material with the compositions according to the invention, certain pests can be controlled merely through the expression of the, for example, insecticidal protein, and additionally through the compositions according to the invention are protected against damage.

The compositions according to the invention are suitable for protecting seed material of any plant variety as already mentioned above which is used in agriculture, in a greenhouse, in forests or in horticulture. In particular, it is seed material from maize, peanut, canola, oilseed rape, poppy, soybean, cotton, beet (e.g. sugarbeet and fodder beet), rice, millet, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sunflower, tobacco, potatoes or vegetables (e.g. tomatoes, cabbage plants). The compositions according to the invention are likewise suitable for treating the seed material of fruit plants and vegetables as already specified above. The treatment of the seed material of maize, soybeans, cotton, wheat and canola or oilseed rape is of particular importance.

As already mentioned above, the treatment of transgenic seed material with a composition according to the invention is also of particular importance. In this connection, the seed material is that of plants which generally comprise at least one heterologous gene which controls the expression of a polypeptide with in particular insecticidal properties. In this connection, the heterologous genes in transgenic seed material can originate from microorganisms such as Bacillus, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Trichoderma, Clavibacter, Glomus or Gliocladium. The present invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of transgenic seed material which comprises at least one heterologous gene originating from Bacillus sp. and whose gene product exhibits effectiveness against the European corn borer and/or the corn root worm. Here, it is particularly preferably a heterologous gene which originates from Bacillus thuringiensis.

Within the context of the present invention, the composition according to the invention is applied to the seed material alone or in a suitable formulation. Preferably, the seed material is treated in a state in which it is stable enough to avoid damage during treatment. In general, the seed material can be treated at any time between harvest and sowing. The seed material usually used has been separated from the plant and freed from cobs, shells, stalks, coats, hairs or fruit flesh.

When treating the seed material, care must generally be taken that the amount of the composition according to the invention applied to the seed material and/or further additives is selected in such a way that the termination of the seed material is not adversely affected, or that the resulting plant is not damaged. This must be ensured particularly in the case of active ingredients which can exhibit phytotoxic effects at certain application rates.

Moreover, the compounds according to the invention can be used for controlling a large number of different pests including, for example, harmful sucking insects, biting insects and other plant-parasitic pests, stored grain pests, pests which destroy industrial materials, and hygiene pests including parasites in the field of animal health and can be used for their control, like, for example, their eradication and extermination. The present invention therefore also encompasses a method for controlling pests.

The active ingredients according to the invention are also suitable for controlling arthropods, helminths and protozoa which attack animals. The animals include agricultural livestock such as, for example, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, donkeys, camels, buffaloes, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, cultured fish, honeybees. Moreover, the animals include domestic animals which are also referred to as companion animals such as, for example, dogs, cats, cage birds, aquarium fish and so-called experimental animals such as, for example, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and mice.

By controlling these arthropods, helminths and/or protozoa, the intention is to reduce deaths and improve performance (in the case of meat, milk, wool, hides, eggs, honey etc.) and the health of the host animal, so that more economical and simpler animal keeping is made possible through the usde of the active ingredients according to the invention.

For example, it is thus desirable to prevent or interrupt the uptake of blood by the parasites from the host (where applicable). Moreover, controlling the parasites can contribute to preventing the transmission of infectious substances.

The term “controlling” as used herein with regard to the field of animal health means that the active ingredients are effective in reducing the incidence of the respective parasite in an animal infected with such parasites to innocuous levels. More specifically, “controlling”, as used herein, means that the active ingredient kills the respective parasite, inhibits its growth or inhibits its proliferation.

In general, the active ingredients according to the invention can be applied directly when used for the treatment of animals. They are preferably applied in the form of pharmaceutical compositions which may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and/or auxiliaries known in the prior art.

In the field of animal health and in animal keeping, the active ingredients are applied (=administered) in a known manner by enteral administration in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, drinks, drenches, granules, pastes, boli, the feed-through method, suppositories, by parenteral administration, such as, for example, by injections (intramuscular, subcutanous, intravenous, intraperitoneal and the like), implants, by nasal application, by dermal application in the form of, for example, dipping or bathing, spraying, pouring-on and spotting-on, washing, dusting, and with the help of active-ingredient-containing shaped articles, such as collars, ear tags, tail tags, limb bands, halters, marking devices and the like. The active ingredients can be formulated as shampoo or as suitable formulations that can be used in aerosols or unpressurized sprays, e.g. pump sprays and atomizer sprays.

When used for livestock, poultry, domestic animals etc., the active ingredients according to the invention can be applied as formulations (for example powders, wettable powders [“WP”], emulsions, emulsifiable concentrates [“EC”], flowable compositions, homogeneous solutions and suspension concentrates [“SC”]) which comprise the active ingredients in an amount of from 1 to 80% by weight, either directly or after dilution (e.g. 100- to 10 000-fold dilution), or they can be used as a chemical bath.

When used in the field of animal health, the active ingredients according to the invention can be used in combination with suitable synergists or other active ingredients, such as, for example, acaricides, insecticides, anthelmintics, anti-protozoal compositions.

The compounds according to the invention can be prepared by customary methods known to the person skilled in the art.

Reaction scheme 1 depicts the general synthesis process A for the compounds (I-1) according to the invention.

The radicals A1-A4, Q and T have the meanings described above. X is any desired leaving group.

Compounds according to the invention of the type (I-1) can be synthesized by reacting amines of the general structure (IV) with activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (V). The reaction can be carried out with or without solvents. In this step, a suitable base can likewise be used.

In general, it is advantageous to carry out the first reaction step of the synthesis method A according to the invention, if appropriate, in the presence of a suitable diluent and, if appropriate, in the presence of suitable basic reaction auxiliary.

Diluents are advantageously used in an amount such that the reaction mixture remains readily stirrable throughout the entire process.

The solvent which may be used is any solvent which does not adversely affect the reaction, such as, for example, water. Of suitability are aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene or toluene; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform or tetrachloromethane, open-chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane; esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; ketones such as, for example, acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone and cyclohexanone; amides such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; nitriles such as acetonitrile; and other inert solvents such as 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone; the solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The base used can be an organic base such as triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine, tri-n-butylamine, pyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine; furthermore, the following bases can, for example, be used: alkali metal hydroxides, such as, for example, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; carbonates such as sodium hydrogencarbonate and potassium carbonate; phosphates such as dipotassium hydrogenphosphate and disodium phosphate; alkali metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride; alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium methanolate and sodium ethanolate. These bases can be used in ratios of from 0.01 to 5.0 mole equivalents based on (IV) and (V).

Furthermore, silver(I) cyanide can also be used as base and activator [Journal of Organic Chemistry. 1992, 57, 4394-4400; Journal of Medicina Chemistry 1992, 35, 3905-3918; Journal of Organic Chemistry 2003, 68, 1843-1851].

The suitable reaction temperature is in the range from −20° C. up to the boiling point of the particular solvent and the reaction time is between a few minutes and 96 hours depending on the choice of reactants, solvents and reaction temperature.

Cyclic carboxylic acid halides, as are represented by the general structure (V), can be prepared simply by reacting a heterocyclic carboxylic acid with halogenating reagents such as thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide, phosphoryl chloride, oxalyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, etc. [Houben-Weyl, 1952, vol. VIII, p. 463 ff.]

The synthesis of carboxamides represented by the formula (I-1) can, however, also be carried out using coupling reagents such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and additives such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole [Chem. Ber. 1970, 788]. It is also possible to use coupling reagents such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, 1,1′-carbonyl-1H-imidazo and similar compounds.

Coupling reagents which are used for carrying out the synthesis process are all those which are suitable for the preparation of an ester or amide bond (cf. e.g. Bodansky et al., Peptide Synthesis, 2nd ed., Wiley & Sons, New York, 1976; Gross, Meienhofer, The Peptide: Analysis, Synthesis, Biology (Academic Press, New York, 1979).

Furthermore, mixed anhydrides can also be used for the synthesis of (I-1) [J. Am. Chem. Soc 1967, 5012]. In this process it is possible to use various chloroformates, such as, for example, isobutyl chloroformate, isopropyl chloroformate. Similarly, diethylacetyl chloride, trimethylacetyl chloride and the like can be used for this.

In this connection, the same conditions apply for the choice of solvent, the reaction conditions, the reaction time and the reagents as for the synthesis of (I-1) described above.

Reaction scheme 2 shows the general synthesis process B for the synthesis of the compounds (I-1) according to the invention.

The radicals A1-A4, Q and T have the meanings described above. X is any desired leaving group and Alk is an alkyl radical, such as, for example, methyl or ethyl.

Compounds according to the invention of the type (I-1) can be synthesized by reacting an amine of the general structure (III) with activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (VIII). Here, the same conditions apply for the choice of solvent, the reaction conditions, the reaction time and the reagents as for the reaction of (IV) and (V) to give (I-1) described in synthesis process A.

The synthesis of activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (VIII) can take place by a two-stage synthesis from the corresponding carboxylic acid esters of the general structure (VII). In the first step, the carboxylic acid function (O-Alk), protected in the form of an ester, of the compound (VII) is deprotected depending on the alkyl ester used with a suitable reagent [Greene's protective groups in organic synthesis, 4th edition, P. G. M. Wuts, T. W. Greene, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, N.J.] and the resulting free hydroxy group of the acid function of (VIII-1) is converted to a leaving group X. In this connection, the same processes can be used as have already been described in the synthesis of (V). Compounds of the general structure (VII) can be synthesized by reacting amines of the general structure (VI) with activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (V). Here, the same conditions apply for the selection of the solvent, the reaction conditions, the reaction time, and the reagents as for the synthesis of (I-1) described in synthesis process A.

If the compounds (I) according to the invention are compounds of the general structures (I-2) and (I-3), the synthesis can take place via synthesis process C (reaction scheme 3).

The radicals Z1, Z3 and Q have the meanings described above. Z2a is optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl, optionally substituted alkenyl or alkynyl or perfluoroalkyl, X is any desired leaving group.

Compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-3) can be synthesized from the compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-2). Here, the iodine atom in the compounds of type (I-2) is replaced, via metal mediation, inter alia by perfluoroalkyl [PCT Int. Appl., 2005095351], aryl [Journal of Organic Chemistry 2007, 72(9), 3589-3591; Synthesis 1997, (5), 563-566; Heterocycles 2006, 68(11), 2247-2252] and alkenyl [PCT Int. Appl., 2005060749; Organic Process Research & Development 2005, 9(5), 694-696; Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin 2005, 53(2), 153-163; Journal of Organic Chemistry 1986, 51(26), 5286-90].

The compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-2) can be synthesized by reacting activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (V-3) with amines of the general structure (IV). The reaction conditions for this reaction have already been described in synthesis process A for the synthesis of (I-1).

The compounds of the general structure (V-3) can be synthesized in a two-stage process starting from pyrazolecarboxylic acids of the type (V-1) which can be prepared by processes known in the literature [Journal of Organic Chemistry 2008, 73(9), 3523-3529; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2005, 15(22), 4898-4906; US2006069270]. Here, in the first step, compounds of the formula (V-1) are iodized in the 4-position with iodine and an oxidizing agent, such as, for example cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate. The hydroxy function of (V-2) is then converted into the leaving group X by those methods already described in synthesis process A for the preparation of (V).

Reaction scheme 4 shows the general synthesis process D for the synthesis of the compounds (I-4) according to the invention.

Compounds of the general formula (V-4) represent here special N-heterocyclic carboxylic acids, for example these may be the carboxylic acids of the type (V-4-a) (V-4-ac). It is common to all of these carboxylic acids that the chlorine atom, on account of its position relative to the nitrogen atoms, is activated for a nucleophilic substitution. The radicals A1-A4 and Q have the meanings described above. X is any desired leaving group. “n”, “t” and “s”, independently of one another, are 0-3, where the sum of “s” and “t” is ≦4.

The compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-4) can be synthesized by the reaction of perfluorinated alcohols of the general structure (X) with chlorine compounds of the general structure (IX). This substitution reaction can be carried out by processes known in the literature [Pest Management Science 2001; 57(9), 844-851; Canadian Journal of Chemistry 1985, 63(11), 3037-42].

The compounds of the general structure (IX) can be synthesized by reacting amines of the general structure (IV) with activated heterocyclic carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (V-4). The reaction conditions for this reaction have already been described in synthesis process A for the synthesis of (I-1).

The preparation of amines of the general structure (IV) takes place according to the method described in synthesis process A by reacting amines of the general structure (III) with activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (II).

Reaction scheme 5 shows the general synthesis process E for the synthesis of the compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-5).

The radicals A1-A4 and T have the meanings described above. E is optionally substituted primary and secondary alkyl radicals. Hal represents a halogen atom, preferably chlorine or bromine.

The compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-5) can be prepared by a substitution reaction between carboxylic acid of the general structure (VIII-1) and halogen compounds of the general structure (XI). The reaction can be carried out analogously to procedures known in the literature [Tetrahedron Letters 2007, 48 (39), 6974-6976; International Journal of Pharmaceutics 1987, 39 (1), 75-85].

Reaction scheme 6 shows the general synthesis process F for the synthesis of the compounds according to the invention of the general structure (I-6).

The radicals A1-A4, Q and T have the meanings described above. Y is bromine, iodine or triflate. X is any desired leaving group and Alk is an alkyl radical, such as, for example, methyl or ethyl.

Compounds according to the invention of the type (I-1) can be synthesized starting from compounds of the general structure (VII) by the process described in synthesis process B. Compounds of the general structure (VII) can be synthesized, inter alia, by a metal-mediated coupling of compounds of the general structure (XII) with carboxamides of the general structure (V-5). The reaction can be carried out analogously to known literature procedures [Chemistry—A European Journal 2008, 14(12), 3527-3529; Organic Letters 2007, 9(23), 4749-4751; Journal of the American Chemical Society 2002, 124(21), 6043-6048; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 2008, 16(6), 3091-3107].

Activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general formula (II) are accessible from cyclic aminocarboxylic acids of the general formula (II-1) by methods already described in synthesis process A for the synthesis of (V). Substances of the general formula (II-1) are generally known compounds in organic chemistry which can be obtained by established synthesis processes. Possible synthesis routes of the cyclic aminocarboxylic acids of the general formula (II-1) are depicted in reaction scheme 7.

Starting materials for the synthesis of aminocarboxylic acids of the general structure (II-1) that may be used are, for example, halogenated (hetero)aromatic nitro and amino compounds, as are represented by the formulae (XII) and (XVII). Here, the leaving group X is replaced by a cyano group and this is then acid- or base-hydrolysed. The halogen-cyano exchange can take place, for example, by a nucleophilic substitution on the aromatic with a cyanide species such as, for example, sodium cyanide [U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,219] or else via a copper-mediated reaction [Journal of Antibiotics 1994, 47(12), 1456-65].

In the case of the nitro compounds (XVII), a reduction of the nitro function into an amino function can then also take place. Suitable processes for such reactions are hydrogenations and metal-mediated reactions such as, for example, tin(II) chloride, iron powder, zinc powder and compounds similar to these.

Hydrogenations can take place in a suitable solvent in the presence of a catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere (atmospheric pressure or increased pressure). Catalysts which can be used are palladium catalysts, such as, for example, palladium on carbon, nickel catalysts such as Raney nickel, cobalt catalysts, ruthenium catalysts, rhodium catalysts, platinum catalysts and compounds similar to these. Suitable solvents are water, alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene, open-chain or cyclic ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, and also esters such as ethyl acetate. The reductions can be carried out in a pressure range from 1 bar to 100 bar, and the temperature can vary between −20° C. and the boiling point of the solvent used. Depending on the reaction conditions, the reaction times are between a few minutes and 96 hours.

The metal-mediated reductions such as, for example, with tin(II) chloride, can be carried out by a process described in Organic Syntheses Coll. Vol. (III), 453.

Furthermore, (hetero)aromatic aminocarboxylic acids of the general structure (II-1) can also be synthesized from the corresponding methyl precursors of the type (XIII) by oxidation. Oxidizing agents suitable for such oxidations are, for example, potassium permanganate, sodium dichromate, chromium trioxide and compounds similar to these [Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 36(25), 4369-72; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2001, 17(4), 1043-1046]. Enzymatic processes can likewise also be used for such oxidations [PCT Int. Appl., 9502061]. The subsequently required reduction of the nitro function can be carried out analogously to the processes described above.

A further method for synthesizing (hetero)aromatic aminocarboxylic acids of the general structure (II-1) is the nitration of carboxylic acid precursors represented by the formula (XIV) or (XV) and the subsequent reduction of the nitro function. The nitrations can be carried out by processes in the literature [Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie [Annals of chemistry] 1958, 611, 194-205; Organikum [Organic chemistry], Wiley-VCH, 22nd edition, 358 ff]. The subsequently required reduction of the nitro function can be carried out analogously to the processes described above.

Furthermore, (hetero)aromatic aminocarboxylic acids of the general structure (II-1) can be prepared from the corresponding (hetero)aryl triflates of the type (XVI) with the help of a palladium-catalyzed process [Synthesis 2006, (4), 594-596].

Possible syntheses of the heterocyclic carboxylic acid derivatives of the general formula (V) are depicted in reaction scheme 8.

Heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general structure (V-5) can be synthesized, inter alia, from methyl derivatives of the general formula (XVIII) by oxidation of the methyl function. Here, the processes already mentioned for the oxidation of methyl groups of the compounds of the general structure (XIII) can be used.

Heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general structure (V-5) can be synthesized from precursors of the general structure (XIX) by deprotonation with a suitable base and by scavenging the corresponding carbanion with carbon dioxide [Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2008, 51(4), 937-947; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2007, 17(22), 6274-6279]. Suitable bases are, for example, lithium diisopropylamide, n-butyllithium, sec-butyllithium and compounds similar to these.

For the above-described process for the synthesis of heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general structure (V-5), the corresponding halogenated heterocycles (XX) are likewise suitable. However, the carbanion here is not generated by deprotonation, but by a metallation reaction [Angewandte Chemie, International Edition 2008, 47(2), 311-315]. Of suitability for these metallation reactions are preferably n-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium and isopropylmagnesium chloride.

Heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general structure (V-5) can likewise be converted from halogenated precursors of the general structure (XX) with the help of palladium-catalysed reactions known in the literature into the corresponding heterocyclic carboxylic acid esters [Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry 2007, 80(4), 571-575].

Furthermore, heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general structure (V-5) can be synthesized from halogenated compounds of the general structure (XX) by a substitution reaction of the halogens with cyanides and subsequent hydrolysis of the nitrile function with strong acid or bases [WO 2005079801].

Heterocyclic activated carboxylic acid derivatives, such as, for example, carboxylic acid halides, as are represented by the general structure V, can be prepared by reacting a cyclic carboxylic acid represented by the formula (V-5) with halogenating reagents such as thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide, phosphoryl chloride, oxalyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, etc. [Organikum [Organic chemistry], Wiley-VCH, 22nd edition, 496ff].

Activated carboxylic acid derivatives of the general structure (II) can be synthesized by generally known literature processes from carboxylic acids of the formula (II-1) [Organikum (Organic chemistry), Wiley-VCH, 22nd edition, 496ff; Chem. Ber. 1970, 788; J. Am. Chem. Soc 1967, 5012]. The compounds of the formula (II-1) are commercially available or can be prepared by known literature processes [Synthesis 2006, (4), 594-596; Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 36(25), 4369-72; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2007, 17(4), 1043-1046; PCT Int. Appl., 9502061, Journal of Organic Chemistry 1954, 19, 357-64; WO 2001083459].

Compounds of the general structure III are commercially available and/or can be prepared by processes generally known in the specialist literature [Houben-Weyl (1992), Vol. E, 16d, 646ff; Tetrahedron Letters, 33(24), 3487-90; 1992].

Compounds of the general structure (V) are generally commercially available and/or can be synthesized by known Literature processes [Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2008, 51(4), 937-947; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2007, 17(22), 6274-6279; Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry 2007, 80(4), 571-575; WO 2005079801; Journal of Organic Chemistry 2008, 73(9), 3523-3529; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2005, 15(22), 4898-4906; US2006069270].

Compounds of the general structures (X) to XX are commercially available and/or known from the relevant specialist literature.

Oxidizing agents for the oxidation of alcoholic groups are known (cf. e.g. oxidation reagents in Organic Synthesis by Oxidation with Metal Compounds, Mijs, de Jonge, Plenum Verlag, New York, 1986; Manganese Compounds as Oxidizing Agens in Organic Chemistry, Arndt, Open Court Publishing Company, La Salle, Ill., 1981; The Oxidation of Organic Compounds by Permanganate Ion and Hexavalent Chromium, Lee, Open Court Publishing Company, La Salle, Ill., 1980). An oxidation can be carried out, for example, in the presence of permanganates (e.g. potassium permanganate), metal oxides (e.g. manganese dioxide, chromium dioxides which are used, for example, in dipyridine-chromium(VI) oxide as Collins reagent (cf. J. C. Collins et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 30, 3363-3366, 1968)). Likewise in the presence of pyridinium chlorochromate (e.g. Corey's reagent) (cf. also R. O.

KGaA, 2004). Likewise suitable are ultrasound-induced oxidation reactions, and the use of potassium permanganate (cf. J. Yamawaki et al., Chem. Lett. 3, 379-380, 1983).

For the deblocking/elimination of the protective group PG, all known suitable acidic or basic reaction auxiliaries can be used in accordance with the process method described in the literature. When using protective groups for amino groups of the carbamate type, preference is given to using acidic reaction auxiliaries. When using the tert-butylcarbamate protective group (BOC group), mixtures of mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid or organic acids such as benzoic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid or toluenesulphonic acid and a suitable diluent such as water and/or an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol or methanol, for example, are used. Preference is given to mixtures of hydrochloric acid or acetic acid with water and/or an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate.

It is known that some reactions and preparation processes can be carried out particularly well in the presence of diluents or solvents and basic or acidic reaction auxiliaries. Mixtures of the diluents and solvents can likewise be used. The diluents or solvents are advantageously used in an amount such that the reaction mixture is readily stirrable through the entire process.

Suitable catalysts for carrying out a catalytic hydrogenation in the process according to the invention are all customary hydrogenation catalysts, such as, for example, platinum catalysts (e.g. platinum plate, platinum sponge, platinum black, colloidal platinum, platinum oxide, platinum wire), palladium catalysts (e.g. palladium sponge, palladium black, palladium oxide, palladium-carbon, colloidal palladium, palladium-barium sulphate, palladium-barium carbonate, palladium hydroxide), nickel catalysts (e.g. reduced nickel, nickel oxide, Raney nickel), ruthenium catalysts, cobalt catalysts (e.g. reduced cobalt, Raney cobalt), copper catalysts (e.g. reduced copper, Raney copper, Ullmann copper). Preference is given to using noble metal catalysts (e.g. platinum and palladium or ruthenium catalysts), which are optionally applied to a suitable support (e.g. carbon or silicon), rhodium catalysts (e.g. tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride in the presence of triphenylphosphine). In addition, “chiral hydrogenation catalysts” (e.g. those which contain chiral diphosphine ligands, such as (2S,3S)-(−)-2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane [(S,S)-chiraphos] or (R)-(+)-2,2′ or (S)-(−)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene [R(+)-BINAP and S(−)-BINAP]) can be used, as the result of which the fraction of one isomer in the isomer mixture is increased and the appearance of another isomer is almost completely suppressed.

The preparation of salts of the compounds according to the invention takes place by standard processes. Representative acid addition salts are, for example, those which are formed by reaction with inorganic acids, such as, for example, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid or organic carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, camphoric acid, oxalic acid, phthalic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, glutaric acid, stearic acid, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, tartaric acid, cinnamic acid, valeric acid, picric acid, benzoic acid or organic sulphonic acids such as methanesulphonic acid and 4-toluenesulphonic acid.

Also representative are salts of compounds according to the invention which are formed from organic bases, such as, for example, pyridine or triethylamines, or those which are formed from inorganic bases, such as, for example, hydrides, hydroxides or carbonates of sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium or barium if the compound of the general formula (I) has a structural element suitable for this salt formation.

Synthesis methods for the synthesis of heterocyclic N-oxides and tert-amines are known. They can be obtained with peroxy acids (e.g. peracetic acid and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), hydrogen peroxide), alkyl hydroperoxides (e.g. tert-butyl hydroperoxide), sodium perborate and dioxiranes (e.g. dimethyldioxirane).

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Synthesis Process A Example (Ik-1) N-[4-Chloro-3-(cyclopropylcarbamoyl)phenyl]-1-methyl-3-(pentafluoroethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide

560 mg (1.79 mmol) of 1-methyl-3-pentafluoroethyl-4-trifluoromethylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid are suspended in 10 ml of dichloromethane. The suspension is cooled to 0° C. and then subsequently admixed with 0.02 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide and 188 μl (2.15 mmol) of oxalyl chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred firstly for 0.5 h at 0° C. and then for 3 hours at room temperature. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator. The resulting 1-methyl-3-(pentafluoroethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbonyl chloride is used for the subsequent synthesis step without further work-up.

95.3 mg (0.45 mmol) of 5-amino-2-chloro-N-cyclopropylbenzamide, 3.7 mg (0.03 mmol) of N,N-dimethylpyridine-4-amine are dissolved in 2.5 ml of ethyl acetate. The solution is cooled to 0° C. using an ice bath and admixed with 158 μl (0.91 mmol) of N-ethyldiisopropylamine. 100 mg (0.30 mmol) of 1-methyl-3-(pentafluoroethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbonyl chloride are suspended in 2.5 ml of ethyl acetate and then added to the cooled reaction solution. The reaction mixture is heated for four hours at 50° C. and then stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction solution is diluted with 10.0 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed three times with 1M hydrochloric acid, twice with 1M sodium hydroxide solution and once with saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and filtered and solvent is removed under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator. This gives 151 mg of N-[4-chloro-3-(cyclopropylcarbamoyl)phenyl]-1-methyl-3-(pentafluoroethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (97%) as white solid.

The reaction mixture is heated for four hours at 50° C. and then further stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction solution is diluted with 8 ml of ethyl acetete. The organic phase is washed twice with 1M hydrochloric acid, once with 1M sodium hydroxide solution and once with saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and filtered and solvent is removed under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator.
