Abstract

The present disclosure relates to substituted thiophene carboxamides and analogues thereof of formula (I) that may be used for protecting plants from bacterial diseases, in particular from bacterial diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Xanthomonas.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compound of formula (I):

wherein
R 1 and R 2 are identical and are a chlorine atom or a bromine atom;
R 3 is methyl;
R 4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, aralkyl, aralkyl substituted by hydroxyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl substituted by a C 1 -C 6 -alkylsulfanyl and R 5 is a hydrogen atom; or
R 4 and R 5 form, together with the carbon atom to which they are linked, a cyclopropyl;
R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 -cyanoalkyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, 4-, 5- or 6-membered heterocyclyl, —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-Si(C 1 -C 6 -alkyl) 3 and —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl.

2. The compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein R 4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, benzyl, benzyl substituted by hydroxyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl substituted by a C 1 -C 6 -alkylsulfanyl and R 5 is a hydrogen atom; or R 4 and R 5 form, together with the carbon atom to which they are linked, a cyclopropyl.

3. The compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 -cyanoalkyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl, 4-, 5- or 6-membered heterocyclyl, —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-Si(C 1 -C 6 -alkyl) 3 and —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-cyclopropyl.

4. The compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 -cyanoalkyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl, C 3 -C 8 -cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl, oxetanyl, thietanyl, dioxothietanyl, oxolanyl, oxanyl, —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-Si(C 1 -C 6 -alkyl) 3 and —C 1 -C 6 -alkyl-cyclopropyl.

5. A composition comprising at least one compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 and at least one agriculturally suitable auxiliary.

6. A method for controlling bacterial diseases comprising the step of applying (i) at least one compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 , or (ii) a composition comprising at least one compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 and at least one agriculturally suitable auxiliary to plants, plant parts, seeds, fruits or to the soil in which the plants grow.

7. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula (IV) or a salt thereof with a compound of formula (V) or a salt thereof:

wherein
R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are as recited in claim 1 ;
U 1 is a halogen atom, a hydroxy group or a C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy group.

8. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula (VI) or a salt thereof with a compound of formula (VII) or a salt thereof:

wherein
R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are as recited in claim 1 ;
U 2 is a bromine atom, an iodine atom, a mesylate group, a tosylate group or a triflate group; and
U 3 is a boron derivative or a halogenometal;
provided that when R 1 and R 2 are bromine atoms, U 2 is not a bromine atom.

9. The process according to claim 8 further comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula (VIII):

wherein
R 1 , R 2 and U 2 are as recited in claim 8 ; and
U 1 is a halogen atom, a hydroxy group or a C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy group,
with a compound of formula (V):

wherein
R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are as defined in claim 8 ,
to provide a compound of formula (VI).

10. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 comprising the step of performing a bromination or chlorination of a compound of formula (IX) or a salt thereof:

wherein
R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are as recited in claim 1 ;
U 4 is a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom or a bromine atom; and
U 5 is a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom or a bromine atom;
provided that at least one of U 4 or U 5 is a hydrogen atom.

11. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 comprising the step of performing a diazotation of a compound of formula (X) or a salt thereof followed by an aromatic substitution:

wherein
R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are as recited in claim 1 ;
U 6 is an amino group, a chlorine atom or a bromine atom;
