Abstract

Description

The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of new 3-isocyanato-1,2,5-oxadiazo(es by reacting 3-amino-1,2,5-oxadia~oles or appropriate N'-substituted 3-ureido-1,2,5-oxadia~oles wi~h phosgene at temperatures between 150 and Z10C. The 3-isocyanato-1,2,5-oxadiazoLes are useful ;ntermediate products in organic chemical syntheses in many fields, for example for the preparation o~ plant protection agents, medica-ments, dyestuffs, etc.
The preparation of a large number of isocyanates from the corresponding amines by reaction with phosgene ;s already known. It is also known that N-heterocyclic compounds with an isocyanate group in the ~-posit~on are unstable and tend to undergo spontaneous cycl;sation 15 react;ons (see Angew. Chem~ 80, 362 - 363 t1968)).
It has been found tha~ the new 3-isocyanato-1,2,5-oxad;azoles of the general formula I
R ~ NCO (I) in which R represents an opt;onally substituted aromat;c rad;cal, as defined below, are obtained when compounds o~ the general formula II

In view of the prior art, it was surprising, and could not be foreseen by a man skilled in the art, that it would be possible to obtain the compounds of the general formula I in good yield and high purity and in a simple manner by the process accord-ing to the invention. With a knowledge of the prior art, it would in fact have been expected that, under the reaction conditions to be used according to the invention, any isocyanates formed would to a substantial extent undergo decomposition or react further to give undesired products, this taking place in the course of the reaction (see Angew. Chem. 80, 362 - 363 (1968)). Under milder conditions (such as lower temperatures and with the addition of a base), the desired products are obtained only in unsatisfactory amounts.
The optionally substituted aromatic radicals R and R2 of the above formulae contain 6 or 10 carbon atoms in the aryl part. Optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl, preferably phenyl, may be mentioned as examples.
The optionally substituted aliphatic radical R2 repres-ents optionally substituted straight-chain or branched alkyl having

If 3-amino-40phenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole is used as a starting material (formula I, R = phenyl, R1 - H~, the course of the reaction can be represented by the foLLo~-Le A 22 942 :~4~i5~7 ing equation:

If N-n-butyL-N'-(4-phenyl-1,2,5-oxacliazol-3-yl)-urea (formula I~ R = phenyl, R1 = the group of the for-mula IV in which R2 = n-butyl) is used as a starting material~ the course of the reacti~n can be represented by the following equation:

If N,N'-bis-(4-phenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-urea ~formuLa I, R1 = the group of the formula III in which R = phenyl) is used as a starting material, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation:

N ~, N IL~ " -4 HC1 ~' N

The 3-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazoles of the formula II
(R1 = H~ which are to be used as start;ng materials are known and/or can be prepared by methods and processes known from the literature (see J. Prakt. Chem. 315, 4, pages 791 - 795 (1973)).
Some of the oxadiazoles of the formula (II~ (R1 = a group of the formula lII) which are to be used as starting materials are known and/or obtainable by custom-ary methods. They can read;ly be prepared from, for ex-ample, the compounds of the formula II (R1 = H) by the reaction with phosgene at temperatures from 50 to 130C, Le A 22 942 " ~465~7 in an inert organic diluent, for example chLorobenzene.
The oxadiazoles of the formula II (R1 = a group of the formula IV) which are to be used as starting mate-rials are known or can be prepared by customary processes 5see J. Prakt. Chem. 315, 4, pages 791 - 793 (1973)).
AlL diluents customarily used for phosgenations ~an be employed as inert organic diluents. When the re-action is ~carried out in an open system, the diluents used are ~hose which have a boiling point in the range of the react;on temperature ~hich can be used according to the invention (150 to 220C) or ~hich have a ~oiling point above this reaction temperature. ExampLes of sui~able diluents are opt;onally halogenated aliphatic and aroma-tic hydrocarbons, such as naphthalene, or benzene which is substituted by alkyL and/or halogen, and naphthalene or tetrahydronaphthalene or benzonitrile. o-Dichloroben-zene is preferably used.
The process according to the invention is carried out in a temperature range from 150 to 220C. It is pre-ferably carried out at 160 to ~90C, particularly prefer-ably at 160 to 180C. In special cases, it is also pos-sibLe for the temperature to be above or beloh the stated temperatures.
Depending on the apparatus employed, the process according to the invention can be carried out under ele-vated pressure, for example in an autoclave, or under atmospheric pressure. In general, the reaction is car-ried out under atmospheric pressure.
To carry out the process according to the inven-tion, it ;s advantageous to employ at least 1 mol of phos-gene per mol of starting material of the formula II in which R1 = H or the group of the formula IV~ and at least 2 mol of phosgene per mol of starting ma~erial of the formula II in which R1 = a group of the formula III.
When the process is carried out in open systems, the phosgene is passed continuously into the reaction mixture, Le A 2? 942 _ 7 _ ~ 2 ~ ~5 8 7 so that in general an excess of phosgene is introduced.
In carrying out the process according to the in~
vent;on ;n open systems, the star~ing material of the for ~ula II is advantageously discolved or suspended in the diluent. Phosgene is passed in and the reaction mixture is brought to the desired reaction temperatures~ if appro-priate ~hiLe stirring. The phosgene is passed in for about 2 to 5 hours, while heating~ The optimum reaction t;me for the particular reaction can readily be determined in the customary manner. The diluent is then removed by distillation, and the crude product obtained is puriFied by distillation in vacuo.
The procedure in closed systems is carried out in a correspond;ng manner. In this case, the required amount of phosgene is added, under pressure, to the reaction mixture, before the latter is heated.
As already stated above, the new compounds of the general formula I constitute valuable intermediat~
products~ Surprisingly, the end products of the process according to the invention are stable compounds which can be stored and handled without problems.
The compounds of the general formula I can be reacted with, for example, amines of the general formula V
R3 - NH2 (V) in ~hich R3 represents an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaroratic radical, to give substituted furazanes of the general formula VI
R~ ~HCoNHR3 tVI) ~ ~ N
3D in which R and R3 have the meanings given above.
To prepare the compounds of the general formula VI, for example, molar amounts of the compounds of the formulae I and V are reacted in dry toluene at temperatures of Le A 22 ~42 ~2g~58~
~ 8 --approx. ~0C, and the solvent is removed by distillation when the reaction is complete. The rompounds of the for-mula VI remain behind as a solid mass.
For example, the following compounds o~ the for-mula VI can be obtained in this manner:

~ o- ~ -CF3 The compounds of the formula VI have high acti-vities against insects and spider mites and can therefore be used as pest-combating agents in pLant protec~ion.
The acaricidal activity of the compounds of the formula VI can be demonstrated by the following example:
Development_nhib;t;on test w;th Tetranychus urticae (common spider mite) Solvent: 3 parts by we;ght of dimethylformamide Emulsifier: 1 part by ~eight of alkylarylpolyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of active com-pound, 1 part by ~eight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solven~ and the stated amoun~ of emuls;f;er, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the des;red concentrat;ons~
The leaves of the bean plant (Phaseolus vulgar;s) on which about 50 eggs of the common spider mite have been deposited are immersed ;n the active compound preparation of appropriate concentration. The total of destroyed eggs, larvae, nymphs and dormant stages of a generation, based on the number of eggs used, gives the destruction in X. 100% means that all of the animals have been destroyed;
OX means that none of the animaLs have been destroyed.
In this test~ for example, the compounds A1 and A2 Le A 22 942 _ 9 ~
showed a destruct;on of 100X after 12 days at an active compound concentrat;on of 0.02X.
The compounds of the formula VI can be formuLated as solid or liquid pest-combating agents in the customary manner by mixing w;th su;table carriers (for example ground minerals or silica), diluents ~For exampLe dime-thylformamide) and emuls;f;ers (for example dibutylnaph-thalenesulphonate or cslcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate).
Appl;cation of these agents cnto the plants to be trea-ted is carried out by dusting or spraying, if appropriateafter further dilution ~ith water.
The examples wh;ch follow are ;ntended to illus-trate the process according to the invention (all percent-ages are % by weight, unless stated otherwise).
