Description

A PREPARATION EXAMPLES

Example 1: 3-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-2-OH-propanoic acid

1.1 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-4-CH.SUB.3.-pyrimidine

(1) A solution of 1-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-propanone (31 g) in dimethylformamiddimethylacetal (60 mL) was stirred for 2 h at 125° C. TLC showed that the SM was consumed (PE:EtOAc=1:1). The mixture was concentrated to give (E)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-(dimethylamino)but-3-en-2-one (41 g, 99.5%) as a yellow oil and used directly without purification. To a solution of the crude (E)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-(dimethylamino)but-3-en-2-one (33.6 g) in EtOH (600 mL) was added cyclopropanecarboxamidine hydrochloride (45 g) and t-BuOK (42 g). The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 h at 90° C. TLC (PE:EtOAc=3:1) showed that the SM was consumed. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated, purified by column (gradient EtOAc: PE=from 0:1 to 1:10) to give 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-4-CH.sub.3-pyrimidine (29 g, 79.23%) as a yellow oil.

(2) .sup.1H NMR CDCl3 400 MHz: δ: 1.04-1.11 (m, 2H); 1.16-1.23 (m, 2H); 2.19-2.36 (m, 1H); 2.3 (s, 3H); 7.17-7.23 (m, 1H) 7.30-7.41 (m, 2H) 7.43-7.56 (m, 1H) 8.28 (s, 1H).

1.2 ethyl 3-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-2-OH-propanoate

(3) To a solution of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-4-CH.sub.3-pyrimidine (3 g) in THF (60 mL) was added LDA (8 mL) dropwise at −78° C. 10 min later, glyoxalic acid ethylester (1.6 g) in THF was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. aq. NH.sub.4Cl (60 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4 and concentrated. The crude was purified by column (PE:EtOAc=50:1 to 2:1) to give ethyl 3-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-2-OH-propanoate (3 g, 47.2%) as a yellow oil.

(4) .sup.1H NMR: CDCl.sub.3 400 MHz δ ppm 1.11-1.19 (m, 4H); 1.23 (m, 3H); 2.19-2.34 (m, 1H); 2.89-3.06 (m, 1H); 3.08-3.17 (m, 1H); 4.10-4.27 (m, 3H); 4.32-4.41 (m, 1H); 4.46-4.55 (m, 1H); 4.58-4.70 (m, 1H); 7.20-7.26 (m, 1H); 7.33-7.42 (m, 2H); 7.51 (d, 1H); 8.35 (s, 1H).

1.3 3-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-2-OH-propanoic acid

(5) A solution of ethyl 3-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-2-OH-propanoate (1 g) in MeOH (30 ml) and THF (30 mL) and H.sub.2O (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C.

9.2: 1-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]ethanol

(46) MeMgBr (3N in Et.sub.2O, 33.4 mL) is added dropwise to a solution of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidine-4-carbaldehyde (23.6 g) in Et.sub.2O (200 mL) at −10° C. Upon completion of the addition the reaction mixture is warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 1 h. EtOAc and aq. sat. NH.sub.4Cl are added and the phases are separated. The organic phase is dried over MgSO.sub.4, solid parts are removed by filtration and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography (ISCO-CombiFlash Rf, reversed phase, MeCN/water)) yields the title compound (17.9 g, 68%) as a colorless oil.

Example 10: 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-4-(1-methoxyethyl)pyrimidine

(48) NaH (21.2 mg) is added to a solution of 1-[5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyclopropyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]ethanol (210 mg) in DMF (5 mL) at 0° C. The mixture is warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 30 min before MeI (52.6 μL) is added. The reaction is stirred for 2 h at 25° C. Water and EtOAc are and the phases are separated. The organic phase is dried over MgSO.sub.4, solid parts are removed by filtration and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography (ISCO-CombiFlash Rf, reversed phase, MeCN/water)) yields the title compound (80.0 mg, 36%) as a colorless oil.

B USE EXAMPLES

(76) The herbicidal activity of the pyrimidine compounds of formula (I) was demonstrated by the following greenhouse experiments:

(77) The culture containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% of humus as the substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species.

(78) For the pre-emergence treatment, the active ingredients, which had been suspended or emulsified in water, were applied directly after sowing by means of finely distributing nozzles. The containers were irrigated gently to promote germination and growth and subsequently covered with transparent plastic hoods until the plants had rooted. This cover caused uniform germination of the test plants, unless this had been impaired by the active ingredients.

(79) For the post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on the plant habit, and only then treated with the active ingredients which had been suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants were either sown directly and grown in the same containers, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to treatment.

(80) Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10-25° C. or 20-35° C., respectively.

(81) The test period extended over 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended, and their response to the individual treatments was evaluated.

(82) Evaluation was carried out using a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants, or complete destruction of at least the aerial moieties, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of growth. A good herbicidal activity is given at values of at least 70 and a very good herbicidal activity is given at values of at least 85.

(83) The plants used in the greenhouse experiments were of the following species:

(84) TABLE-US-00007 Bayer code Scientific name ABUTH Abutilon theophrasti ALOMY Alopecurus myosuroides AMARE Amaranthus retroflexus APESV Apera spica-venti AVEFA Avena fatua ECHCG Echinocloa crus-galli SETVI Setaria viridis SETFA Setaria faberi POAAN Poa annua AGSST Agrostis stolonifera LOLMU Lolium multiflorum POLCO Polygonum convolvulus MATIN Matricaria inodora AGSST Agrostis stolonifera CHEAL Chenopodium album
