Abstract

This invention relates to a formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted C1-18 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-18 alkenyl, optionally substituted C3-8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C3-8 cycloalkenyl or optionally substituted aryl; provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive; the use of a compound of formula (I) (i) as an adjuvant provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive; and (ii) as a solvent provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is an integer from 5 to 20 inclusive; to certain novel compounds of formula (I) and to a process for preparing those novel compounds.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An agrochemical formulation comprising a herbicide, fungicide, acaricide, nematicide, insecticide or plant growth hormone dissolved in a compound of the stereoisomer of formula (I)

where R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1-18 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1-18 alkenyl, optionally substituted C 3-8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C 3-8 cycloalkenyl or optionally substituted aryl; provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive.

2. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where the formulation is an emulsifiable concentrate or emulsion.

3. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is an integer from 5 to 20 inclusive.

4. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where optionally substituted aryl is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or substituted or unsubstituted tolyl.

5. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where R 1 is hydrogen or C 1-18 alkyl optionally substituted by one, two or three hydroxyl groups.

6. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where R 1 is C 3-18 alkyl optionally substituted by one, two or three hydroxyl groups.

7. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where R 1 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, linear or branched propyl, or linear or branched butyl.

8. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where R 2 is propyl or butyl and R 1 is butyl.

9. A formulation as claimed in claim 1 where R 1 is hydrogen or C 1-2 alkyl and R 2 is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl.

10. A compound of the stereoisomer of formula (I)

where R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1-18 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1-18 alkenyl, optionally substituted C 3-8 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted C 3-8 cycloalkenyl; provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is an integer from 5 to 40 inclusive; and provided that when R 2 is CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 , (CH 3 ) 3 C, (CH 3 ) 2 CH, CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , (CH 3 ) 2 CHCH 2 , CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 , CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 CH 2 , CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH(CH 3 )C(OH), CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 C(OH), CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH(CH 2 CH 3 )CH 2 , hexafluoroisopropyl, hydroxyisopropyl, cyclohexyl, cinacalcet, formoterol, HOCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 SO 3 , CH 3 CHOHCH 2 SO 3 , CH 3 CH(C(CH 3 ) 3 )CH 2 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 or CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 CH 2 C(OH), then R 2 is not the same as R 1 ; when R 1 is CH 3 CH(CH 3 ) then R 2 is not perfluorohexylethyl, perfluorooctylethyl, (CH 3 ) 3 C, CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 or cyclohexyl; when R 2 is cyclohexyl then R 2 is not CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 or (CH 3 ) 3 C; and when R 1 is hydrogen then R 2 is not stearyl.

11. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is an integer from 5 to 20 inclusive.

12. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where optionally substituted aryl is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or substituted or unsubstituted tolyl.

13. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where R 1 is hydrogen or C 1-18 alkyl optionally substituted by one, two or three hydroxyl groups.

14. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where R 2 is C 3-18 alkyl optionally substituted by one, two or three hydroxyl groups.

15. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where R 1 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, linear or branched propyl, or linear or branched butyl.

16. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where R 2 is propyl or butyl and R 1 is butyl.

17. A compound of formula (I) as claimed in claim 10 where R 1 is hydrogen or C 1-2 alkyl and R 2 is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl.
