The present invention relates to 3-substituted phenylamidine compounds. More particularly, the present invention relates to 3-substituted phenylamidine compounds of general formula (I), to a process for preparation and to a use thereof as a crop protection agent.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fungal pathogens continue to pose a serious threat to public health and agriculture. Therefore, the control of plant diseases caused by fungal plant pathogens is extremely important in achieving high crop efficiency. The plant diseases damage to ornamental, vegetable, field, cereal and fruit crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in increased costs to the consumer. In addition to often being highly destructive, plant diseases can be difficult to control and may develop resistance to commercial fungicides. Many products are commercially available for these purposes, but the need continues for new fungicidal compounds which are more effective, less costly, less toxic, environmentally safer or have different sites of action.

For example, W02000046184, W02003024219, W02005089547, W02003093224, W02007031507, discloses the phenylamidine derivatives and their use, either alone or as part of compositions, as fungicides.

The effectiveness of phenylamidine derivatives described in the prior art is good, but leaves something to be desired in various cases. Therefore, it is always of high interest in agriculture to use novel pesticidal compounds in order to avoid and/or control the development of microorganisms such as fungal or bacterial pathogens or pests being resistant to known active ingredients. It is therefore of high interest to use novel compounds being more active than those already known, with the aim of decreasing the amounts of active compound to be used, whilst at the same time maintaining an effectiveness at least equivalent to the already known compounds.

Currently, the environmental and economic demands for fungicides are continuously increasing for example with respect to activity spectrum, toxicity, selectivity, application rate, formation of residues and favorable manufacturing processes, and also expand the occurance, for example of resistance problems, therefore there is a continuous need to provide new fungicide compounds which will overcome these environmental and economic requirements and/or alleviate the problems associated with pathogens resistance. Accordingly, the present invention provides a new family of compounds which possesses the above mentioned effects or advantages, thus allowing an unexpected and significantly higher activity

against undesired microorganisms such as fungal or bacterial pathogens.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention provides a 3-substituted phenylamidine compound of general formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salts, structural isomers, stereo-isomers, diastereomers, enantiomers, tautomers, metal complexes, polymorphs or N-oxides thereof.

DF,T ATFFD DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

DEFINITIONS

The following definitions provided for the terminologies used in the present disclosure are for illustrative purpose only and in no manner limit the scope of the present invention disclosed in the present disclosure.

The transitional phrase "comprises", "comprising", "includes", "including", "has", "having", "contains", "containing", "characterized by" or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, subject to any limitation explicitly indicated. For example, a composition, mixture, process or method that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, mixture, process or method.

The transitional phrase "consisting of" excludes any element, step or ingredient not specified. If in the claim, such would close the claim to the inclusion of materials other than those recited, except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith. When the phrase "consisting of' appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

The transitional phrase "consisting essentially of' is used to define a composition or method that includes materials, steps, features, components or elements, in addition to those literally disclosed, provided that these additional materials, steps, features, components or elements do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. The term "consisting essentially of' occupies a middle ground between "comprising" and "consisting of".

Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive "or" and not to an exclusive "or". For example, a condition "A" or "B" is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B is true (or present).

Also, the indefinite articles "a" and "an" preceding an element or component of the present invention are intended to be nonrestrictive regarding the number of instances (i.e. occurrences) of the element or component. Therefore "a" or "an" should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular.

As referred to in this disclosure, the term "pesticide" in each case also always comprises the term "crop protection agent".

The term "undesired microorganisms" or "phytopathogenic microorganisms" such as fungal or bacterial pathogens includes namely Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes and Pseudomonadaceae, Rhizobiaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Corynebacteriaceae and Streptomycetaceae respectively.

The term "agronomic" refers to the production of field crops such as for food, fuels, biofuels, any biomaterials and fiber and includes namely the growth of corn, soybeans and other legumes, rice, cereal (e.g., wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, maize), leafy vegetables (e.g., lettuce, cabbage, and other cole crops), fruiting vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, pepper, eggplant, crucifers and cucurbits), potatoes, sweet potatoes, grapes, cotton, tree fruits (e.g., pome, stone and citrus), small fruit (berries, cherries), biofuel production crops such as com, sugar/starch crops, sugar-beet and sweet sorghum, cellulosic crops such as switchgrass, miscanthus, com stover, poplar, biodiesel crops rapeseed (canola), soybeans, palm oil, mustard, camelina, safflower, sunflower and jatropha and other specialty crops (e.g., canola, sunflower, olives).

The term "nonagronomic" refers to other than field crops, such as horticultural crops (e.g., greenhouse, nursery or ornamental plants not grown in a field), residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial stmctures, turf (e.g., sod farm, pasture, golf course, lawn, sports field, etc.), wood products, stored product, agro-forestry and vegetation management, public health (i.e. human) and animal health (e.g., domesticated animals such as pets, livestock and poultry, undomesticated animals such as wildlife) applications.

The terms alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, aryl and heteroaryl groups, as defined herein, are optionally substituted (e.g., "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkenyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkynyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" carbocyclyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" heterocyclyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" aryl or "substituted" or "unsubstituted" heteroaryl group). In general, the term "substituted", whether preceded by the term "optionally" or not, means that at least one hydrogen present on a group (e.g., a carbon or nitrogen atom etc.) is replaced with a permissible substituent, e.g., a substituent which upon substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction under normal conditions (temperature, pressure, air etc.). Unless otherwise indicated, a "substituted" group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent is either the same or different at each position.
