An exemplary compound of the present invention is N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-[5-(methylthio-1,3,4-oxad iazol-2yl]benzenemethanesulfonamide, m.p. 174.degree.-177.degree. C.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION SynthesisThe compounds of Formula I can be prepared by one or more of the methods described below in Equations 1, 2 or 3.
As shown in Equation 1 below, the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by treating sulfonamides of Formula II with the methyl ester of a pyrimidine or triazinecarbamic acid of Formula III in the presence of an equimolar quantity of trimethylaluminum. ##STR9## wherein Q, R and A are as previously defined.
The reaction of Equation 1 is best carried out at temperatures between 23.degree. to 83.degree. C. in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride or 1,2-dichloroethane for 12 to 96 hours under an inert atmosphere. The product can be isolated by the addition of an aqueous acetic acid solution followed by extraction of the product into methylene chloride or direct filtration of a product of low solubility. The product can ordinarily be purified by trituration with solvents such as n-butyl chloride or ether or by chromatography procedures. The methyl carbamates, III, can be conveniently prepared by treatment of the corresponding heterocyclic amines of Formula VI with dimethyl carbonate or methyl chloroformate in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride or pyridine.
Further details of this reaction and the preparation of the carbamates of Formula III can be found in EP-A No. 83,975 (published July 20, 1983).
Alteratively, compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the reaction of sulfonamides of Formula II with the phenyl ester of the appropriate carbamic acid, IV, in the presence of an equimolar quantity of a tertiary amine base such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU). ##STR10## wherein A is as previously defined.
The reaction of Equation 2 is best carried out at 20.degree. to 30.degree. C. in an inert solvent such as dioxane or acetonitrile. Aqueous acid work-up affords the desired products, according to the teachings of EP-A No. 70,804 (published Jan. 26, 1983) and South African Patent Application Nos. 825,042 and 830,441. The phenyl carbamates, IV, can be synthesized by treating the corresponding heterocyclic amines of Formula VI with diphenyl carbonate or phenyl chloroformate in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride or pyridine.
Also, many components of Formula I can be prepared by reacting an appropriate sulfonyl isocyanate, V, with the appropriately substituted aminoheterocycle, VI, as shown in Equation 3 below, ##STR11## wherein R and A are as previously defined; and Q is Q-1 to Q-22 and Q-24 to Q-27.
The reaction is best performed in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile or toluene at 23.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours. In cases where the products are insoluble in the reaction solvent, they may be isolated by simple filtration. When the products are soluble, they may be isolated by evaporation of the solvent and trituration of the residue with an appropriate solvent such as 1-chlorobutane, diethyl ester, methanol or ethyl acetate and filtration.
Sulfonyl isocyanates of Formula V above may be prepared, although often times in low yields, from corresponding sulfonamides of Formula II by methods analogous to those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,238,621, 4,420,325 (issued Dec. 13, 1983) and EP-A No. 83,975 (published July 20, 1983). By a preferred method, sulfonamides are reacted with phosgene, in the presence of n-butyl isocyanate and a tertiary amine catalyst, at reflux in an inert solvent such as xylenes. A preferred catalyst is 1,4-diazabicyclooctane-[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Alternatively, isocyanates, V, may be prepared by (1) reacting sulfonamides, II, with n-butyl isocyanate and a base such as potassium carbonate at reflux in an inert solvent such as 2-butanone to form a n-butyl sulfonylurea; and (2) reacting this compound with phosgene and DABCO catalyst at reflux in xylenes solvent.
Benzenemethanesulfonamides of Formula II can be prepared from appropriately substituted benzyl chlorides or benzyl bromides of Formula VII by a sequence of reactions described in Equation 4 below. ##STR12## wherein M is chlorine or bromine; R is as originally defined; except R is not SCH.sub.3 or SCF.sub.2 H; Q is Q-1 to Q-20, and Q-23.
Reaction 4(a)The conversion of alkyl halides to isothiouronium salts is well precedented in the literature. For relevant examples, see T. B. Johnson and J. M. Sprague, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 58, 1348 (1936); 59, 1837 and 2439 (1937); 61, 176 (1939). In a typical procedure, a benzyl halide of Formula VII is treated with thiourea in a suitable solvent such as ethanol or tetrahydrofuran. Temperatures of 40.degree.-80.degree. C. over one-half to 4 hours are typically required to complete the reaction. The product salts, VIII, are isolated by cooling and filtration or by concentration to remove the solvent. The salts, VIII, are generally sufficiently pure to be carried on directly to step 4(b) without further purification.
Reaction 4(b)The oxidative chlorination of isothiouronium salts to afford sulfonyl chlorides is most conveniently effected according to the procedure of Johnson as described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 61, 2548 (1939). Thus, the appropriate isothiouronium salts, VIII, are suspended in aqueous acetic acid and treated with at least three equivalents of chlorine at temperatures between 0.degree. and 20.degree. C. The product sulfonyl chlorides of Formula IX are isolated by filtration or extraction into methylene chloride followed by drying and evaporation of the solvent. No further purification of the sulfonyl chlorides is generally necessary.
Reaction 4(c)The conversion of sulfonyl chlorides to sulfonamides is well precedented in the literature. For example, exposure of a sulfonyl chloride to ammonium hydroxide results in the formation of the corresponding sulfonamide, e.g., Crossley et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 60, 2223 (1938). Also, sulfonyl chlorides IX can be suspended in an aprotic solvent such as diethyl ether, 1-chlorobutane, methylene chloride, or tetrahydrofuran and contacted with an excess of anhydrous ammonia at a temperature of about -20.degree. to 25.degree. C. The product sulfonamides, II, are isolated by filtration and washing with water to remove the by-product ammonium chloride, and concentrating the organic solution. The crude sulfonamides, II, can be purified by recrystallization or chromatography procedures.
Alternatively, sulfonamides of Formula II may be prepared from the appropriate benzyl halides of Formula VII by a three-step sequence of reactions shown below in Equation 5. ##STR13## wherein R and Q are as previously defined.
Reaction 5(a)The displacement reactions are best carried out by treating the benzyl halides, VII, with excess sodium thiosulfate (generally about 10 to 30% mole excess) at about 40.degree. to 90.degree. C. for one to 24 hours in an aqueous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. Preferably, sufficient water is used to insure solubility of the sodium thiosulfate. After the reaction is complete, the suspension is cooled and added to excess water. After washing the aqueous suspension with methylene chloride to remove insoluble impurities, the aqueous solution, containing thiosulfate salt, X, is reacted directly as shown in Equation 5(b) without isolation of X.
Reaction 5(b)The oxidative chlorination of thiosulfate salt, X, is most conveniently effected by addition of methylene chloride solvent to the aqueous solution of Equation 5(a) and treating the suspension with excess chlorine (at least three equivalents, preferably three to five equivalents) at temperatures between 0.degree. to 20.degree. C. The reaction generally requires about 0.5 to 5 hours at 0.degree. to 20.degree. C. After completion of reaction, crude sulfonyl chlorides, IX, are isolated by separation, drying and evaporation of the methylene chloride layers.
Reaction 5(c)The amination reaction of Equation 5(c) is carried out as described above for Equation 4(c).
Also, certain sulfonamides of Formula II may be prepared from appropriately substituted o-(methoxycarbonyl)benzenemethanesulfonamides, VII, as shown in Equation 6 below. ##STR14## wherein M' is Cl, Br or I; and R and R.sub.3 are as previously defined.
Reaction 6(a)The conversion of carboxylic esters to hydrazides is well known in the literature. In a typical procedure, a carboxylic ester of Formula XI is reacted with an excess of hydrazine monohydrate (about 10 to 30% mole excess) in an inert solvent such as methanol or ethanol at reflux for one to 24 hours. The hydrazide products, XII, are isolated by cooling and filtration or by concentration to remove the solvent and triturating the hydrazide residue, XII, with water. The hydrazides, XII, are generally sufficiently pure to be carried on directly to step 6(b), but may be purified further by recrystallization procedures. Esters of the general Formula XI are known; see U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,325.
Reaction 6(b)The conversion of hydrazides to 2-mercaptooxidiazoles is also well known in the literature, e.g., R. W. Young and K. H. Wood, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 77, 400 (1955). In a typical procedure, hydrazides, XII, are heated under reflux with equimolar amounts of potassium hydroxide and an excess of carbon disulfide in methanol or ethanol solvent until the evolution of hydrogen sulfide has nearly stopped. Oxadiazoles, XIII, are isolated by concentration of the solvent, addition of water to the residue, filtration of the aqueous suspension to remove insoluble impurities, acidification with hydrochloric acid of the aqueous filtrate and filtration. Oxadiazoles, XIII, are generally pure enough to carry on to step 6(c), but may be further purified by recrystallization procedures.
Reaction 6(c)Alkylation of 2-mercaptooxidazoles is also well known in the literature, e.g. S. Girl et al., Agr. Biol. Chem., 40, 17 (1976). Typically, oxidazoles, XIII, are reacted with an equimolar amount of a base such as potassium hydroxide and excess alkylating agent, R.sub.3 --M', at reflux temperatures in an inert solvent such as methanol or ethanol for 0.5 to 24 hours. Sulfonamides, IIa, are isolated by concentration of the solvent, addition of water to the residue and filtration. For the case where R.sub.3 .dbd.CF.sub.2 H, the reaction is preferably run in DMF solvent at 60.degree.-90.degree. C. with excess potassium carbonate as base. Products IIa, isolated by addition of water and filtration, may be further purified by recrystallization procedures.
Benzyl halides of Formula VII, where Q is Q-1 to Q-20 and Q-23, may be prepared as shown below in Equation 7 by treatment of the appropriately substituted toluene derivatives, XIV, with either N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) or N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS). ##STR15## where R is as previously defined; and Q is Q-1 to Q-20 and Q-23.
The reactions of Equation 7 can be most conveniently carried out by heating a solution of the toluene derivatives, XIV, and either N-bromosuccinimide or N-chlorosuccinimide in a suitable solvent such as carbon tetrachloride at reflux temperature. A free radical catalyst such as azoisobutyronitrile or benzoyl peroxide is usually employed to initiate the reaction. When the reaction is complete, the cooled solution is filtered to remove the by-product succinimide and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The benzyl halides of Formula VIIa and VIIb are often obtained in a sufficiently pure state for further transformation. They may, however, be further purified by recrystallization or chromatography procedures obvious to those skilled in the art.
Benzyl halides of Formula VII containing an o-furan or thiophene group (Q is Q-24 to Q-27) may be prepared by the sequence of reactions shown below in Equation 8. ##STR16## wherein R is H; W is O or S; and Q is Q-24 to Q-27.
Equation (8a,b)A N,N-dimethylbenzylamine of Formula XV is dissolved in an ethanol solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, and one equivalent or n-butyllithium in hexane is added at 0.degree.-25.degree. C. After 1-5 hours at 0.degree.-25.degree., the compound of Formula XVI is formed. This is not isolated, but one equivalent of a copper(I) iodide salt is added at -20.degree. to 0.degree., followed by 1-1.5 equivalents of an appropriate iodofuran or iodothiophene of Formula XVII. The reaction mixture is then heated at 40.degree.-70.degree. C. for 1-3 days, concentrated, poured onto aqueous ammonia, extracted with methylene chloride, dried and concentrated to provide compounds of Formula XVIII. The compounds are further purified by chromatography procedures obvious to one skilled in the art.
Equation 8(c)The compounds of Formula XVIII are treated with cyanogen bromide in an ethereal solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, and stirred at 20.degree.-70.degree. C. for one to 24 hours to provide benzyl bromides of Formula VIIc, according to teachings of Org. React., 7, 198 (1953) and Ber., 43, 3209 (1910). The compounds are isolated by concentration in vacuo and purified by chromatography procedures.
Alternatively, benzyl halides of Formula VIIc above may be prepared by the sequence of reactions shown below in Equation 9. ##STR17## wherein R is as originally defined; and W is O or S.
Reaction 9(a)In this reaction a furyl- or thienylcopper compound of Formula XX is reacted with an appropriate N,N-dimethyl-o-iodobenzylamine of Formula XIX in a solvent such as pyridine or quinoline. The copper compounds of Formula XX are prepared by reacting the corresponding lithium compounds with cuprous iodide or cuprous bromide in a solvent such as diethyl ether. The detailed procedures for analogous types of reactions are described in the following references: M. Nilsson and C. Ullenius, Acta. Chem. Scand., 24, 2379-2388 (1970); C. Ullenius, Acta. Chem. Scand., 26, 3383-3386 (1972).
Reaction 9(b)This reaction is run similar to that described in Equation 8(c).
Benzyl halides of Formula VII containing a tetrahydrofuran group (Q is Q-21 or Q-22) may be prepared by the sequence of reactions shown below in Equation 10. ##STR18## wherein R is as originally defined.
Reaction 10(a)Reductions of furans to tetrahydrofurans are will known in the literature. The choice of catalyst, solvent, pressure and temperature for such reductions has been reviewed by Samuel Sevadash in The Furans by A. P. Dunlop and F. N. Peters, Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York, N.Y., 1953, pp. 674-713; and by P. N. Rylander in Catalytic Hydrogenation in Organic Synthesis, Academic Press, 1979, pp. 227-234.
The o-heterocyclic toluenes of Formula XIV above are important intermediates for the preparation of many of the compounds of this invention. They can be prepared by those skilled in the art by the application of appropriate methods selected from the variety of known literature procedures for preparing substituted aromatic heterocycles.
For instance, as illustrated in equation 11(a) below, EP-A No. 83,975 (published July 20, 1983), and references cited therein, teach methods for transforming various o-(substituted)nitrobenzenes of Formula XXII to o-(heterocyclic)nitrobenzenes of Formula XXIII, where Q is Q-1 to Q-20. As illustrated in Equation 11(b) below, by substituting similarly substituted o-(substituted)toluenes of Formula XXIV for nitrobenzenes, XXII, and carrying out the appropriate reactions taught in EP-A No. 83,975, or simple modifications thereof, those skilled in the art can prepare compounds of Formula XIVa, where Q is Q-1 to Q-20. ##STR19## wherein R is as originally defined; Q is Q-1 to Q-20; and J is an appropriate functional group taught in EP-A No. 83,975, and references cited therein, to prepare ortho-groups Q-1 to Q-20.
In addition, o-(pyrimidin-2-yl)toluenes of Formula XIVb, where Q is Q-23, are prepared from amidine salts, XXV, as shown in Equation 12. ##STR20## wherein R and Q-23 are as previously defined.
The reaction of Equation 12 is accomplished by heating salts, XXV, with 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxy (or methoxy)propane in an inert solvent such ethanol at 25.degree.-80.degree. C. for about 1 to 10 hours. The products, XIVb, are isolated by addition of water, extraction with methylene chloride, drying and concentration of the filtrate.
The sulfonamides of Formula II, substituted by an o-cyclic-acetal or thioacetal group (Q is Q-28 to Q-33), may be prepared by known methods obvious to those skilled in the art.
The heterocyclic amine intermediates such as those depicted by Formula VI above in Equation 3 can be prepared by methods known in the literature, or simple modifications thereof, by those skilled in the art. For instance, the synthesis of aminopyrimidines and triazines has been reviewed in "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds", a series published by Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York and London. Aminopyrimidines are also described by D. J. Brown in the "Pyrimidines", Vol. 16 of this series. Aminotriazines are also reviewed by E. M. Smolin and L. Rapaport in "s-Triazines and Derivatives", Vol. 13 of the same series. The synthesis of triazines is also described by F. C. Schaefer U.S. Pat. No. 3,154,547 and by K. R. Huffman and F. C. Schaefer, J. Org. Chem., 28, 1812 (1963).
The 5,6-dihydrofuropyrimidin-2-amines, the cyclopentapyrimidin-2-amines (VI, A is A-2) and the 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyranopyrimidin-2-amines (VI, A is A-3) are prepared as described in EP-A No. 15,683. Synthesis of the furopyrimidin-2-amines (VI. A is A-4) are described in EP-A No. 46,677, Pyrimidine and triazine amines in which Y is such groups as dialkoxymethyl of 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl are prepared as described in EP-A No. 84,224 (published July 27, 1983). Also, South African Patent Application No. 837,434 (published Oct. 5, 1983) describes methods for the synthesis of cyclopropylpyrimidines and triazine amines substituted by such groups as halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or alkoxyalkyl. Also, South African Patent Application Nos. 825,045, and 825,671 describe methods for the synthesis of aminopyrimidines and triazines substituted by such groups as haloalkoxy or haloalkylthio, e.g., OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Cl, OCH.sub.2 CF.sub.3 or SCF.sub.2 H.
Agriculturally suitable salts of compounds of Formula I are also useful herbicides and can be prepared in a number of ways known to the art. For example, metal salts can be made by contacting compounds of Formula I with a solution of an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt having a sufficiently basic anion (e.g., hydroxide, alkoxide, carbonate or hydroxide). Quaternary amine salts can be made by similar techniques.
Salts of compounds of Formula I can also be prepared by exchange of one cation for another.
Cationic exchange can be effected by direct contact of an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., alkali or quaternary amine salt) with a solution containing the cation to be exchanged. This method is most effective when the desired salt containing the exchanged cation is insoluble in water and can be separated by filtration.
Exchange may also be effected by passing an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., an alkali metal or quaternary amine salt) through a column packed with a cation exchange resin containing the cation to be exchanged for that of the original salt and the desired product is eluted from the column. This method is particularly useful when the desired salt is water-soluble, e.g., a potassium, sodium or calcium salt.
Acid addition salts, useful in this invention, can be obtained by reacting a compound of Formula I with a suitable acid, e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid or the like.
The preparation of the compound of this invention is further illustrated by the following specific examples. Unless otherwise indicated, temperatures are in degrees centigrade.

Formulations
Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

______________________________________
*Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or a Diluent equals
100 weight percent.
Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.
Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0.degree. C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents" Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to residue foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.
The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

UtilityTest results indicate that the compounds of the present invention are highly active preemergent or postemergent herbicides or plant growth regulants. Many of them have utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or postemergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around fuel storage tanks, ammunition depots, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. Alternatively, the subject compounds are useful to modify plant growth.
The rates of application for the compounds of the invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use as plant growth modifiers or as herbicides, the crop species involved, the types of weeds to be controlled, weather, and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foilage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels of around 0.05 to 10 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for plant growth modification or for situations where only short-term persistence is required.
The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commerical herbicide: examples of which are those of the triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenylether, carbamate and bipyridylium types. The compounds may also be used in combination with merfluidide.
The herbicidal properties of the subject compounds were dissolved in a number of greenhouse tests. The test procedures and results follow.
Test ASeeds of crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusqualli), wild oats (Avena fatua), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), sorghum, corn, soybean, cotton, sugar beet, rice, wheat and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with the test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were treated with a soil/foilage application. At the time of treatment, the plants ranged in height from 2 to 18 cm. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually rated for response to treatment. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a numerical scale extending from 0=no injury, to 10=complete kill. The accompanying the descriptive symbols have the following meanings:
C=chlorosis/necrosis;
B=burn;
D=defoliation;
E=emergence inhibition;
G=growth retardation;
H=formative effects;
U=unusual pigmentation;
X=axillary stimulation;
S=albinism; and
6Y=abscised buds or flowers. ##STR38##
