Studies on herbicidal carbamoyltetrazolinone derivatives: Selection of fentrazamide

1-Phenyl-5(4 H )-4-dialkylcarbamoyltetrazolinones represent a new class of herbicides that are active against barnyardgrass ( Echinochloa spp.) in paddy fields. To select the most favorable compound as a paddy herbicide, herbicidal activity and selectivity of the carbamoyltetrazolinone compounds to transplanted rice were determined in greenhouse tests. Higher herbicidal activities were associated with the compounds having a 2-Cl- or 2-Cl-6-Me-substituted or an unsubstituted phenyl ring, and a combination of C_2–3 linear alkyl group and a C₄ branched-chain alkyl or a C_5–6 cycloalkyl group on the nitrogen atom in the carbamoyl structure. In addition, the compounds carrying a total of seven to nine carbon atoms in the substituents on the carbamoyl nitrogen exhibited a good selectivity between barnyardgrass and transplanted rice plants. From the results of soil thick-layer chromatography, the good crop compatibility of carbamoyltetrazolinones was correlated to the mobility of the compounds in paddy soil. The investigation resulted in the selection of an excellent compound, 4-(2-chlorophenyl)- N -cyclohexyl- N -ethyl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1 H -tetrazole-1-carboxamide (common name: fentrazamide), as a rice paddy herbicide for controlling barnyardgrass.     

Action of fungicidal triazoles of the diclobutrazol series on ustilago maydis

Diclobutrazol [(2RS, 3RS)-1-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)-4, 4-dimethyl-2-(1,2, 4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ol] decreased the rate of growth of Ustilago maydis during the log phase. Marked changes in sterol composition were observed with a decrease in ergosterol and an increase in methyl-sterols, indicating a block in the removal of the 14-methyl group. The inhibition was of rapid onset (<4 h). Changes in other lipid constituents were minor and there was no build up of unsaturated fatty acids. The fungicidal activity resides in the (2R, 3R)-isomer, which is known to be more potent in blocking a yeast 14-demethylase enzyme than the (2S, 3S)-isomer. This relationship held in the 4-chlorophenyl homologues, which as a group were less fungicidal and less potent inhibitors than the 2, 4-dichlorophenyl compounds. The evidence presented indicates that the primary lesion caused by the fungicide was a build up of membrane sterols containing extra methyl groups; this, in combination with a loss of ergosterol, is believed to prevent proper membrane ordering and thus to cause a loss of membrane function.     

Mechanism of herbicidal activity of a new cyclohexane-1,3-dione, tepraloxydim to Poa annua L.

Tepraloxydim [(EZ)‐(RS)‐2‐{1‐[(2E)‐3‐chloroallyloxyimino]propyl}‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐perhydropyran‐4‐ylcyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one] showed high activity against annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.), which is relatively tolerant to sethoxydim [(±)‐2‐(1‐ethoxyiminobutyl)‐5‐[2‐(ethylthio)propyl]‐3‐hydroxycyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐one]. Absorption and translocation rates of tepraloxydim and sethoxydim were higher in P. annua than in Setaria faberi, but the absorption and translocation patterns of tepraloxydim in the two plants were similar to those of sethoxydim. Metabolic rates of tepraloxydim and sethoxydim in P. annua and S. faberi were found to be similar. The concentration for 50% inhibition (I₅₀) of acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) with tepraloxydim was approximately 3 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 for P. annua and 7 × 10^?7 mol L^?1 for S. faberi. For sethoxydim, the I₅₀ was found to be 2 × 10^?6 mol L^?1 with the enzyme of S. faberi, while sethoxydim showed a slight effect on ACCase from P. annua activity, even at 10^?4 mol L^?1. The strong inhibition of ACCase with tepraloxydim is considered to be the major factor contributing to the high herbicidal activity against P. annua. Measuring the whole plant growth response, the ratio of the tepraloxydim I₅₀ dose of P. annua to that of S. faberi (P/S) was found to be 2.4, while the P/S ratio of sethoxydim and a tepraloxydim analog with a propyl chain at R₂ were 56.3 and 73.3, respectively. The herbicidal activity against P. annua was remarkably influenced by the length of the R₂ alkyl chain, while the effect on S. faberi was not affected. Acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylase from P. annua also exhibited a higher resistance to the tepraloxydim analog with a propyl chain than to tepraloxydim. These results suggest that a binding site structure of cyclohexane‐1,3‐diones in the ACCase differs between P. annua and S. faberi.     

Binding of azole fungicides related to diclobutrazol to cytochrome P-450

Fungicides containing the imidazole and triazole groups are known to block the 14α-demethylation reaction in ergosterol biosynthesis, which is a cytochrome P-450 enzyme system. Fungicides related to diclobutrazol [(2RS, 3RS)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ol] bind to cytochrome P-450 in rat liver microsomes, whole yeast cells, yeast microsomes and to a partially purified cytochrome P-450 from yeast, with Type II spectral changes. The most fungicidally active isomer (2R, 3R) shows greater binding than the less active (2S, 3S)-enantiomer to yeast microsomes; when the cytochrome P-450 was purified, a preparation was obtained to which binding more closely matched the fungicidal activity. Binding to rat liver microsomes does not reflect the fungicidal activity of the compounds.

Studies on residues and the metabolic pathway of methidathion in tomato fruit

The residues and metabolism of methidathion [S-(2, 3-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1, 3, 4-thiadiazol-3-ylmethyl) O, O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate] and its secondary metabolites: demethyl-methidathion [S-(2, 3-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1, 3, 4-thiadiazol-3-ylmethyl) O-methyl O-hydrogen phosphorodithioate] ( IV ), the sulphide (2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-3-methylthiomethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one) ( I ), tsulphoxide(2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-3- methylsulphinylmethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one) ( II ) and the sulphone (2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-3-methylsulphonylmethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one ( III ) were studied in laboratory-treated tomato fruit. The metabolites and residues of methidathion were determined for the applied doses of 1, 7 and 14 mg of methidathion kg^?1 of fruit. Methidathion was metabolised extensively over a 14-day period. The amount of metabolites formed was a function of both the applied dose as well as the time after application. Major water-soluble metabolites were found to be IV and the cysteine conjugate S-(2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3-ylmethyl)-L-cysteine ( VI ). The chloroform-soluble metabolites were identified as the oxygen analogue of methidathion [S-(2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3-ylmethyl) O, O-dimethyl phosphorothioate] ( V ), the sulphoxide II , and the hydroxy compound 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-5-methoxy-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-one. The oxygen analogue of methidathion ( V ) was found in small amounts, corresponding to <5% of the added methidathion. Demethyl-methidathion ( IV ) appeared to be a precursor in the formation of the cysteine conjugate VI . The sulphide I seemed to be more reactive in forming the cysteine conjugate than the sulphoxide II or the sulphone III .     

Structural studies in azolylmethanes

The crystal structures of a number of fungicidal azolylmethanes are compared. In the benzyl compounds [1-aryl-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ones, the corresponding pentan-3-ols, and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-1-one], the benzyl and tert-butyl groups (or 4-chlorophenyl group) are trans, whereas in the analogous phenoxy compounds [1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-one and the corresponding butan-2-ol], the tert-butyl groups are trans to the triazole and gauche to the phenoxy group. Coupling constants, determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy, suggest that for some compounds there is one dominant solution conformation. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, observed by infrared spectroscopy in two of the compounds, supports the findings by n.m.r. For some compounds, the crystal and solution conformations appear to be very similar, whereas in others they are quite different. Published data on the relative activity of the enantiomers of the benzyl- and phenoxy-compounds are discussed, but differences in the relative activity of enantiomers in the two series cannot be readily rationalised. It is concluded that different enantiomers may have different modes of binding at the active site.

Differential Metal Binding Interactions of the Imidazolinones Revealed by NMR and UV Spectroscopy

NMR and UV spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods were applied to probe the interaction of the two imidazolinones, imazethapyr (5-ethyl-2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)nicotinic acid) and its structural isomer CL 303,135 (5-ethyl-3-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)picolinic acid), with metal ions. Both the imidazolinones inhibit the enzyme acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) in vitro. However, while imazethapyr is a herbicide that is used widely in agriculture, CL303,135 does not exhibit herbicidal activity. Imazethapyr and CL303,135 exhibited considerable differences in their interactions with metals. In the metal complex of imazethapyr, the carboxyl moiety binds strongly and the pyridine nitrogen binds weakly with metals. In the case of CL303,135, both the pyridine nitrogen and the carboxyl group that are positioned ortho to each other participated strongly in the binding and were found to act together as a strong bidentate ligand to a metal ion. Both of the imidazolinones form predominantly 2:1 complexes with multivalent metal ions. However, imazethapyr binds two orders-of-magnitude more weakly (1·0×10⁹ M ^-2) with metal ions compared to CL303,135 (1·7×10¹¹ M ^-2). The interactions of the model compounds, nicotinic acid and picolinic acid, with metals were examined similarly. It was concluded that the strong affinity of CL303,135 for metals compared to imazethapyr may affect its absorption from soil into plants, or its translocation in plants, thereby explaining the differences in herbicidal activity of imazethapyr and CL303,135. © 1997 SCI.     

Synthesis,spectral properties and insecticidal,acaricidal and ovicidal activities of some O-(1,5-disubstituted- 6-oxo-12H-pyridazin-4-yl) phosphorothioates

A synthesis of O,O-dialkyl, O-alkyl O-2-chloroethyl (or O-2-ethoxyethyl) O-(1,5-disubstituted-6-oxo-1H-pyridazin-4-yl) phosphorothioates is described. Infrared, Raman and ultraviolet spectra of the compounds prepared are interpreted. The wave-numbers of the v(C? C) bands were correlated with substituent constants. Good linear correlations of v(C? O) with σ, σ^F, σ_I and σ_R were observed for compounds containing various substituents in the neighbourhood of the keto group of the pyridazinone ring. The insecticidal, acaricidal and ovicidal activities of O-(ethyl or isopropyl), O-(alkyl, 2-chloroethyl, or 2-ethoxyethyl) O-(5-methoxy-1-methyl-6-oxo-1H- pyridazin-4-yl) phosphorothioates, O-ethyl O-isopropyl O-(5-methoxy-1-substituted-6-oxo-1H-pyridazin-4-yl) phosphorothioates and O-ethyl O-isopropyl O-(1-methyl-5-substitutedd-oxo-1H-pyridazin-4-yl) phosphorothioates are reported together with the toxicity of some of these compounds to rats.

Studies of the New Herbicide KIH-6127. Part II. Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of 6-Acyl Pyrimidin-2-yl Salicylates and Analogues against Barnyard Grass

The method reported previously (Part I) was employed to prepare a variety of novel 6-acylsalicylates as key intermediates. 6-Acylpyrimidin-2-yl salicylates (2-acyl-6-[(4,6-disubstituted pyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoate derivatives: Type 1), the closely related phthalide compounds (3-alkyl-7-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]phthalide derivatives: Type 2) and the ketal derivatives of 2-acyl-6-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoates (Type 3) were synthesized and their herbicidal activities measured. Methyl 2-acetyl-6-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoate gave excellent control of barnyard grass with a promising profile as a prototype rice herbicide.     

Studies of the New Herbicide KIH-6127. Part III. Synthesis and Structure–Activity Studies of Analogues of KIH-6127 against Barnyard Grass (Echinochloa oryzicola)*

The previously evaluated prototype, methyl 6-acetyl-2-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoate, was modified by the introduction of an oximino group. Further extensive synthetic modifications were then made to the 6-alkyl moiety (R¹), the ester moiety (R²), the alkoxyimino moiety (R³), the bridge-atom (X) and the 4,6-disubstituted-pyrimidine moiety (A, B, Z). Structure–activity relationships of the synthesized compounds were studied by examining their herbicidal activity against Barnyard grass (Echinochloa oryzicola) in paddy rice at various growth stages, including pre-emergence. The novel herbicide methyl 2-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]-6-[1-(methoxyimino)ethyl]benzoate, (KIH-6127) was found to be the most effective compound. The commercial development of this compound is currently in progress. © 1997 SCI.     

Molecular modifications of benzylphenol and benzyl-1,3-benzodioxole types of insect chemosterilants

Rationally planned structural modifications were carried out on benzylphenols and benzyl-1,3-benzodioxoles described as fly chemosterilants and as anti-juvenile hormones. The introduction of a prop-2-ynyloxy group at various sites of the molecule resulted in compounds with a moderate inhibitory action on cytochrome P-450 mono-oxygenases, as measured by aldrin epoxidation. One compound, 5-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-prop-2-ynyloxy-1,3-benzodioxole, revealed chemosterilant activity on Phormia regina, but its activity was less than that of the parent compounds. 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-[4-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutoxy)benzyl]phenol, which possessed a juvenoid structure, revealed no juvenile hormone (JH) activity but showed a high sterilant effect against Dysdercus cingulatus. In contrast to the parent substances, none of the tested compounds showed a detectable anti-JH effect in the Galleria assay. 8-Methoxy-2,3-methylenedioxydibenz[b,e]oxepine, a hitherto undescribed fused heterocyclic ring system, was devoid of activity, indicating the importance of free rotation and/or molecular flexibility. In spite of the moderate activities of these compounds, the manifold biological potential of the quinone-methide mechanism justifies further research on these lines.     

吡啶衍生物研究(X):2-仲丁氨基-5-(2-芳氧吡啶-4-基)-1,3,4-噻二唑的合成及除草活性

为了研究2-仲丁氨基-5-(2-氯吡啶-4-基)-1,3,4-噻二唑(BCPT)的结构-活性关系和开发活性更高的新型除草剂,以BCPT为先导化合物,依据活性亚结构连接法,在吡啶环2-位上引入二芳醚类除草剂的典型结构单元——芳醚,设计并合成了一系列新的芳氧吡啶噻二唑类化合物,其结构经元素分析和1H NMR确证。初步除草活性测定结果表明,在500 mg/L剂量下,所有化合物的除草活性(抑制率0~45%)远低于先导化合物(抑制率72％~87%),说明吡啶环2-位上的氯原子可能对维持该类化合物的除草活性是必需的。
