(en)This application is a 371 of PCT/EP98/07815 dated Dec. 2, 1998.
The present invention relates to the use of nitroethane derivatives as microbicides, to specific novel nitroethane derivatives and to processes for their preparation.

No. 175 433-01-09], the corresponding 4-chlorophenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-02-0], 2,6-dichlorophenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-03-01], 2-methoxyphenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-04-02], 3-methoxyphenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-05-03], 4-methoxyphenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-06-04], 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-07-05], and 4-methylphenyl compound [CA-Reg. No. 175 433-08-06], have already been disclosed. Hitherto, only the virostatic and cytostatic properties of these compounds have been investigated (see Pharmazie 51 (1996), 11-16).
A microbicidal activity of these compounds has hitherto not been disclosed.

The known and novel nitroethane derivatives of the formula I in which R 1 , R 2 and A are each as defined above are obtained when nitrostyrenes of the formula II
in which R 1 and A are each as defined above are reacted with L-ascorbic acid of the formula IIIa
or D-isoascorbic acid of the formula IIIb
The reaction of the nitrostyrenes II where R 1 is hydrogen and A is a chlorine-, hydroxyl-, methyl-, methoxy- or nitro-substituted phenyl radical with L-ascorbic acid IIIa is known (Pharmazie, 51 (1996), I, 11-16). The corresponding reactions with D-isoascorbic acid IIIb and the reactions of nitrostyrenes II, where R 1 is not hydrogen, with L-ascorbic acid IIIa and D-isoascorbic acid IIIb are novel.
The nitrostyrenes II are known, and they are easily obtainable by condensation of aldehydes with nitroalkanes according to the following literature references: Chem. Ber. 32 (1899) 1293-1295; Chem. Ber. 68 (1935) 184-192; Chem. Ber. 90 (1957) 1215-1225; J. Prakt. Chem., 137 (1933) 2, 339-344; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 56 (1934) 1556-1558; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 73 (1951) 4664-4666; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 78 (1956) 614-622; J. Org. Chem., 18 (1953) 1-3.
The preparation of the nitroethane derivatives Ia is described in scheme 1, using the reaction of β-bromonitrostyrene IIa and L-ascorbic acid IIIa as an example:
Correspondingly, the reaction with D-isoascorbic acid IIIb yields a similar compound Ib which differs from the compound Ia only in the position of the OH group at carbon atom 5.
The β-bromonitrostyrenes IIa are also known: Farmaco Ed. Sci., 30 (1975) 81-109; J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 73 (1951) 4664-4666.
The reaction of the nitrostyrenes II with L-ascorbic acid IIIa or D-isoascorbic acid IIIb is advantageously carried out in the presence of a solvent at from −10 to 150° C., preferably from 0 to 100° C., particularly preferably from 20 to 50° C.
The solvents that are used for these reactions are, depending on the temperature range, hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, chlorobenzene, 1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-dichlorobenzene, ethers such as 1,4-dioxane, anisole, glycol ethers such as dimethyl glycol ether, diethyl glycol ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, esters such as ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl isobutyrate, isobutyryl acetate, carboxamides such as DMF, N-methylpyrrolidone, nitrated hydrocarbons such as nitrobenzene, ureas such as tetraethylurea, tetrabutylurea, dimethylethyleneurea, dimethylpropyleneurea, sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfones such as dimethylsulfone, diethylsulfone, tetramethylenesulfone, nitriles such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile or isobutyronitrile; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopranol, n-butanol, isobutanol or sec-butanol; water, or else mixtures of individual solvents, in particular mixtures of water with DMF, N-methylpyrrolidone, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol or propanol and particularly preferably 40-80% strength aqueous ethanol.
The molar ratios at which the starting materials are reacted with each other are generally 0.9-2.2, preferably 0.95-1.8, particularly preferably 1-1.5, for the ratio of ascorbic acid III to nitrostyrene II. The concentration of the starting materials in the solvent is 0.1-5 mol/l, preferably 0.2-2 mol/l.
The nitrostyrene II is advantageously added over a period of 10 to 60 min at 20-40° C. to a mixture of the ascorbic acid III in one of the abovementioned solvents or solvent mixtures, and the mixture is then stirred for 10 to 120 hours at 20 to 100° C., preferably at 20-50° C., until the reaction has ended.
However, it is also possible to add the ascorbic acid III to a mixture of the nitrostyrene II in one of the abovementioned solvents or solvent mixtures and to complete the reaction as described above.
The reaction can be carried out under elevated pressure, continuously or batch-wise.
According to the formula I, the nitroethane derivatives may be mono- or polyacylated with respect to their radicals R 2 , the selectivity and rate of acylation depending on the degree of steric hindrance. Preference is generally given to positions 5 and 2.
The acylation can be carried out under customary conditions, for example by reaction of a nitroethane derivative of the formula I in which R 2 is hydrogen with an acyl chloride or an acid anhydride in the presence of a base.
Suitable bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bicarbonates, carbonates, hydroxides or else alkoxides. Preferred alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Preferred alkoxides are metal alkoxides of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol or sec-butanol.
The reaction can also be carried out in the presence of an organic phase, such as, for example, triethylamine, tri—n—propylamine, N-ethyldiisopropylamine, pyridine, α-, β, γ-picoline, 2,4-, 2,6-lutidine, N-methylpyrrolidone, triethylenediamine, dimethylaniline, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, quinoline or acridine.
The acylation reaction is illustrated in scheme 2 by the reaction of α-L-xylo-3-hexulofuranosonic acid, 2-C-(2-nitro-1-phenyl-ethyl), γ-lactone and acetyl chloride.
Suitable solvents are those mentioned above.
Generally 0.9-1.1, preferably 0.95-1.05, equivalents of acylating agent and base are employed per OH equivalent of the nitroethane derivative I. The concentration of the starting materials in the solvent is 0.01-5 mol/l, preferably 0.02-2 mol/l.
The acyl chloride or acid anhydride is advantageously added to a mixture of the hydroxynitroethane derivative I and the base over a period of 5-30 min, and the mixture is then stirred for another 1 to 30 hours, preferably 4 to 20 hours, at 15-70° C., preferably at 20-40° C., until the reaction has come to completion.
However, it is also possible to add the hydroxynitroethane derivative I and the base to a mixture of acylating agent and solvent and to complete the reaction as above.
It is also possible to use the appropriate carboxylic acids as acylating agents and to carry out the reaction as a customary esterification by removing the water of reaction azeotropically using a low-boiling solvent, by binding it chemically or by carrying out an extractive esterification.
Suitable dehydrating agents are conc. sulfuric acid and hydrogen chloride gas. Carbodiimides, for example dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, bind the water of reaction in a particularly gentle fashion.
The reaction can be accelerated by an acylation catalyst, for example by addition of a basic pyridine derivative such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine or 4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine. The molar amount of catalyst is from 0.001 to 20, preferably from 0.1 to 12, mol percent, based on the nitroethane derivative I.
Work-up of the reaction mixtures is usually carried out by known methods, for example by diluting the reaction solution with water and subsequent isolation of the product by filtration, crystallization or solvent extraction, or by removing the solvent, partitioning the residue in a mixture of water and a suitable organic solvent and work-up of the organic phase to give the product.
The active compounds of the formula I and the compositions according to the invention have strong microbicidal action and can be employed for controlling unwanted microorganisms. The active compounds of the formula I and the compositions according to the invention are suitable for protecting industrial materials against attack and destruction by unwanted microorganisms. Industrial materials are non-living materials as obtained in industrial processes or non-living materials intended for use in industry. Industrial materials to be protected by the active compounds I from being altered or destroyed by microbes are, for example, dispersions, adhesives, glues, cosmetics, starch solutions, wax emulsions, clay emulsions, paper, sizes, finishes, spin baths, textiles, leather, raw hides, gelatin preparations, bedding putty, joint fillers, wood, paints, articles made from plastic, coolants, drilling oils and other materials which can be attacked or decomposed by microorganisms. The compounds are further suitable for use as slimicides in the paper industry, in recooling plants and air humidifiers. The nitroethane derivatives I are particularly preferably employed in dispersions, such as polymer dispersions and paints.
Microorganisms which may cause a decomposition or an alteration of the industrial materials are, for example, spores, viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. The active compounds or preparations according to the invention preferably act against fungi, bacteria and algae.
By way of example, microorganisms of the following varieties may be mentioned:

Depending on their physical and chemical properties and on the desired application, the active compounds of the formula I can be converted into customary formulations, for example solutions, emulsions, powders, pastes or dispersions.
These active compound formulations are prepared in a conventional manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with suitable extenders or solvents, if required by employing surfactants, ie. emulsifiers or dispersants. If water is used, organic solvents are generally employed as auxiliary solvents. Suitable solvents are, for example, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and cyclohexanol, or glycols, such as propylene glycol, 2-phenoxyethanol, phenoxypropanol, or aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, xylene, mesitylene, paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes or derivatves thereof, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene or strongly polar solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or N-methylpyrrolidone.
Suitable emulsifiers are, for example, alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, for example of lignosulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl- and arylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, lauryl ether sulfates and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols and octadecanols, and condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene or naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or of naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, polyoxyethylene octyl phenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol or ethoxylated nonylphenyl, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, isotridecyl alcohol, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetate, sorbitol esters; suitable dispersants are, for example, ligno-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Aliphatic carboxylic acids may be added to improve the homogeneity of the concentrates. Such acids are, for example, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, branched carboxylic acids, such as 2-ethylenehexanoic acid, isooctanoic acid, neocarboxylic acids, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, such as sebacic acid, cycloalkylcarboxylic acids, such as cyclohexanoic acid, arylcarboxylic acids, such as benzoic acid, 3- or 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.
Paints or precursors for preparing paints include plastic dispersions, dispersion paints for the paint industry, starch solutions, suspensions of other raw materials, such as color pigments or dyes or suspensions of fillers, such as kaolin, calcium carbonate, silicic acids, silica gels, silicates, talc, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide or ground plastics.
The activity and the spectrum of activity of the active compounds of the formula I or the compositions, intermediates or formulations preparable therefrom can be increased by adding further, optionally antimicrobially active compounds, bactericides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides or other active compounds for widening the spectrum of activity or obtaining special effects. In many instances, this results in synergistic effects, ie. the spectrum of activity of the mixture is superior to the activity of the individual components.

2. Preservation Stress Test in a Polymer Dispersion Based on Polyacrylate
In-depth tests were carried out in a polymer dispersion based on polyacrylate. The active compound Ia.034, Table 9, was dissolved in acetone and admixed to the dispersion in concentrations of 500, 250 and 100 ppm of a.s.

The compounds can be converted into customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules.
In general, the fungicidal compositions comprise from 0.1 to 95, preferably 0.5 to 90% by weight of active compound.

Rates of application conventionally used in the protection of materials are, for example, from 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active compound per cubic meter of material treated.
In the use form as fungicides, the compositions according to the invention can also be present in combination with other active compounds, for example with herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides or else with fertilizers.
In many cases, a mixture with fungicides results in a broader fungicidal spectrum of activity.
The active compounds can be applied as such, in the form of their formulations or in the application forms prepared therefrom, for example in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, compositions for broadcasting, or granules, by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The application forms depend entirely on the intended uses; in any case, they should guarantee a very fine dispersion of the active compounds according to the invention.
The active compound concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within relatively wide ranges.
In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.01 to 1%.

For controlling pests under outdoor conditions, the active compound application rate is from 0.1 to 2.0, preferably from 0.2 to 1.0, kg/ha.
In general, the formulations comprise from 0.01 to 95% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 90% by weight, of the active compound. The active compounds are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably from 95% to 100% (according to the NMR spectrum).

With stirring, 1.7 g (10 mmol) of L-ascorbic acid were added to a mixture of 1.1 g (5 mmol) of β-bromonitrostyrene in 40 ml of ethanol and 10 ml of water, and the mixture was stirred at 27-30° C. for 4 days, with DC monitoring. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, taken up in 100 ml of ethyl acetate and extracted with water. After drying over magnesium sulfate and concentration under reduced pressure, this gave 0.85 g (49% of theory) of the title compound as a foam-like yellow solid. IR (KBr, ν [cm −1 ]): 3426 (OH); 2924 (CH); 1774 (lactone); 1576 (NO 2 ).
Example 3
2,5-Di-O-(2′,4′-hexadienyloxy)-α-L-xylo-3-hexulofuranosonic acid, 2—C-(2′-nitro-1′-[4′-chlorophenyl]ethyl), γ-lactone (compound Ia.064 of Table 10)
Over a period of 5 min, 1.15 g [5.56 mmol] of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were added with stirring to a suspension of 1 g [2.78 mmol] of the compound Ia.008, Table 9, 0.62 g [5.56 mmol] of sorbic acid and 50 mg of 4-[1-pyrrolidinyl]pyridine in 100 ml of methylene chloride. After 18 h of stirring at 22° C., the resulting urea was filtered off with suction and the filtrate was washed 2 times using 1N hydrochloric acid. The organic phase was washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography using toluene/ethyl acetate 9:1 gave 0.91 g (59% of theory) of the title compound as a foam-like colorless solid. IR (KBr, ν [cm −1 ]: 3432 (OH), 2855 (CH), 1805 (lactone), 1714, 1642 [C═O]).
Using appropriately modified starting compounds, the procedures described in the synthetic examples above were used to obtain further nitroethane derivatives of the formulae Ia and Ib. Selected physical data of the nitroethane derivatives Ia are listed in Tables 9 and 10 below, and those of the nitroethane derivatives Ib are listed in Table 11.
