CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention disclosed in this document is related to the field of processes to
produce molecules that are useful as pesticides (
e.g., acaricides, insecticides, molluscicides, and nematicides), such molecules, and processes
of using such molecules to control pests.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Pests cause millions of human deaths around the world each year. Furthermore, there
are more than ten thousand species of pests that cause losses in agriculture. The
worldwide agricultural losses amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year.
[0004] Termites cause damage to all kinds of private and public structures. The world-wide
termite damage losses amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year.
[0005] Stored food pests eat and adulterate stored food. The world-wide stored food losses
amount to billions of U.S. dollars each year, but more importantly, deprive people
of needed food.
[0006] There is an acute need for new pesticides. Certain pests are developing resistance
to pesticides in current use. Hundreds of pest species are resistant to one or more
pesticides. The development of resistance to some of the older pesticides, such as
DDT, the carbamates, and the organophosphates, is well known. But resistance has even
developed to some of the newer pesticides.
[0007] Therefore, for many reasons, including the above reasons, a need exists for new pesticides.
Pesticidal compounds comprising various triaryl moieties connected to pyranose derivatives
by suitable linking groups are described by
Crouse et al. in PCT Int. Appl. Publ. WO2009/102736 A1. Linking groups comprising a cyclopropanediyl moiety are not disclosed therein.

PREPARATION OF CYCLOPROPYL-LINKED COMPOUNDS
[0044] The cyclopropyl-linked compounds of Formula One can be prepared from the corresponding
aryl aldehydes via reaction with
t-butyl diethylphosphonoacetate and a base, such as sodium hydride (NaH), in tetrahydrofuran
(THF), at 0 °C. The unsaturated ester is converted to the cyclopropyl ester with trimethylsulfoxonium
iodide in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at ambient temperature. The cyclopropyl acyl azide
A can be prepared from the precursor ester in two steps by reaction first with trifluoroacetic
acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (CH
2Cl
2) at temperatures from 0 to 25 °C and then with diphenylphosphorylazide (DPPA) and
a base, such as triethylamine, in toluene at ambient temperature. The acyl azide
A is converted via Curtius rearrangement with
tert-butyl alcohol (
t-BuOH) in toluene at 90 °C to the
tert-butyl carbamate. The
t-butyl carbamate is removed using TFA in dichloromethane at temperatures from 0 to
25 °C to provide the trifluoroacetate salt of the amine
B. The thioureas can be prepared from the salt
B with an appropriately substituted isothiocyanate (R5-NCX1, wherein X1 = S) in the
presence of a base, such as triethylamine, in THF at 80 °C, or in a two-step process,
by first reacting the salt
B with thiophosgene to generate an isothiocyanate, which is allowed to react with an
appropriately substituted amine (R4R5NH) Likewise, ureas can be generated with an
appropriately substituted isocyanate (R5-NCX1, wherein X1 = O) in the presence of
a base, such as triethylamine, in THF at 80 °C.

[0045] Compounds of Formula Two may be synthesized by Curtius rearrangement of acyl azide
A and other alcohols ((R6)OH) with or without a base, such as triethylamine, at 100
°C. Alternatively, the trifluoroacetate salt of the amine
B can be allowed to react with substituted (R6) chloroformates in the presence of a
base to give the compounds of Formulas Two.

[0046] Compounds of Formula Three can be produced via alkylation of compounds of Formula
One with an alkyl halide (R7) in a non-reactive solvent such as chloroform (CHCl
3) at 100 °C.

[0047] Compounds of Formula Four can be generated by reaction of the cyclopropyl carboxylic
acid DPPA and a base, such as triethylamine, in
t-BuOH at 90 °C.

Example 1: Preparation of (E)-3-{4-[1-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]phenyl}acrylic acid tert-butyl ester (synthetic intermediate)
[0048]

[0049] Sodium hydride (NaH, 60% suspension in mineral oil; 440 milligrams (mg), 11.0 millimoles
(mmol)) was suspended in THF (20 milliliters (mL)), and the mixture was cooled to
0 °C.
t-Butyl diethylphophonoacetate (2.57 mL; 11.0 mmol) was added over 2 minutes (min).
The mixture was stirred at 0 °C for another 15 min, during which time the grey slurry
turned clear within 5 min. 4-[1-(4-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-1
H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-benzaldehyde (3.04 grams (g); 9.13 mmol) was suspended in THF
(20 mL) and then added dropwise via cannula to the solution above. The mixture was
then warmed to 25 °C, poured into saturated (satd) aqueous (aq) ammonium chloride
(NH
4Cl; 200 mL), and extracted with 50% ethyl acetate (EtOAc)/hexanes (3 x100 mL). The
combined organic extracts were then dried over sodium sulfate (Na
2SO
4) and concentrated
in vacuo. The yellow solid residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (CH
2Cl
2; 10 mL) and rapidly stirred as hexanes (100 mL) was added dropwise over 30 min. The
light yellow crystals were collected on a Büchner funnel and dried
in vacuo to afford the title compound ((2.93 g, 74%). The filtrate was concentrated
in vacuo and purified by chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution with 15% to 40% to
80% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford additional product (0.215 g, 5%): mp 167-169 °C;

Example 2: Preparation of 2-{4-[1-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]phenyl}cyclopropanecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester
[0050]

[0051] NaH (60% suspension in mineral oil; 400 mg, 10.1 mmol) and trimethylsulfoxonium iodide
(2.22 g, 10 mmol) were charged into a round bottom flask with a stir bar and placed
in an ice bath. DMSO (20 mL) was added over a period of 10 min with vigorous stirring,
and then the resulting grey slurry was warmed to 25 °C and stirred for 1 h, during
which time the slurry became clear. The enoate from Example 1 was dissolved in DMSO
(20 mL) and added to the above solution via cannula over a period of 30 min. DMSO
(5 mL) was used to transfer any remaining material from the flask. The resulting yellow-orange
solution was stirred at 25 °C for 2 h, then warmed to 50 °C and stirred for 3 h. The
solution was then cooled back down to 25 °C, stirred for another 12 h, and poured
into ice water (300 mL). The mixture was extracted with 50% EtOAc/hexanes (3 x150
mL), and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na
2SO
4, and concentrated
in vacuo to give a pale orange solid. Purification by silica gel chromatography (gradient
elution with 15% to 40% to 80% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded the product (2.19 g, 73%)

[0053] Step 1. To a solution of the
tert-butyl ester from Example 2 (0.562 g; 1.26 mmol) in CH
2Cl
2 (8.0 mL) at 25 °C was added trifluoroacetic acid (TFA; 4.0 mL). The solution was
stirred at 25 °C for 18 h and was then concentrated
in vacuo to afford the carboxylic acid TFA salt (665 mg) as a light pink solid.
[0054] Step 2. Without further purification, a portion of this solid (558 mg, 1.11 mmol)
was slurried in toluene (PhCH
3; 3.2 mL). Triethylamine (Et
3N; 0.368 mL, 2.66 mmol) was added, and the slurry clarified to give a yellow solution.
Diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA; 0.287 mL, 1.33 mmol) was then added in one portion.
The mixture was stirred for 2 h at 25 °C , at which point analysis of an aliquot by
liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) showed complete conversion to the
product. The crude reaction mixture was directly applied to a silica gel column and
purified (gradient elution with 15% to 30% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the product

azide (0.301 g, 0.727 mmol) was slurried in PhCH
3 (2.0 mL).
tert-Butyl alcohol (
t-BuOH; 0.250 mL, 2.64 mmol) was added, and the resulting mixture was heated at 90
°C for 24 h. During this time the slurry became homogenous to give a yellow solution.
The mixture was cooled to 25 °C , and an off-white precipitate was observed to form.
The slurry was diluted with hexanes (3 mL) and filtered on a Büchner funnel to afford
the product (0.252 g, 75%) as an off-white solid. The filtrate was concentrated
in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient elution with 15% to 40% to 80%

[0116]

[0117] Step 1. 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (272 mg, 2.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in CH
2Cl
2 (3.33 mL, 0.3 M) under nitrogen (N
2) and cooled to 0 °C. Triphosgene (208 mg, 0.700 mmol, 0.35 equiv) was dissolved in
CH

Example 15: BIOASSAYS ON BEET ARMYWORM ("BAW") AND CORN EARWORM ("CEW")
[0132] BAW has few effective parasites, diseases, or predators to lower its population.
BAW infests many weeds, trees, grasses, legumes, and field crops. In various places,
it is of economic concern upon asparagus, cotton, corn, soybeans, tobacco, alfalfa,
sugar beets, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, peas, sunflowers, and citrus, among
other plants. CEW is known to attack corn and tomatoes, but it also attacks artichoke,
asparagus, cabbage, cantaloupe, collards, cowpeas, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, lima
beans, melon, okra, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkin, snap beans, spinach, squash,
sweet potatoes, and watermelon, among other plants. CEW is also known to be resistant
to certain insecticides. Consequently, because of the above factors control of these
pests is important. Furthermore, molecules that control these pests are useful in
controlling other pests.
[0133] Certain molecules disclosed in this document were tested against BAW and CEW using
procedures described in the following examples. In the reporting of the results, the
"BAW & CEW Rating Table" was used (See Table Section).
BIOASSAYS ON BAW (Spodoptera exigua)
[0134] Bioassays on BAW were conducted using a 128-well diet tray assay. one to five second
instar BAW larvae were placed in each well (3 mL) of the diet tray that had been previously
filled with 1 mL of artificial diet to which 50 µg/cm
2 of the test compound (dissolved in 50 µL of 90:10 acetone-water mixture) had been
applied (to each of eight wells) and then allowed to dry. Trays were covered with
a clear self-adhesive cover, and held at 25 °C, 14:10 light-dark for five to seven
days. Percent mortality was recorded for the larvae in each well; activity in the
eight wells was then averaged. The results are indicated in the table entitled
"Table: Bio Results" (See Table Section).
BIOASSAYS ON CEW (Helicoverpa zea)
[0135] Bioassays on CEW were conducted using a 128-well diet tray assay. one to five second
instar CEW larvae were placed in each well (3 mL) of the diet tray that had been previously
filled with 1 mL of artificial diet to which 50 µg /cm
2 of the test compound (dissolved in 50 µL of 90:10 acetone-water mixture) had been
applied (to each of eight wells) and then allowed to dry. Trays were covered with
a clear self-adhesive cover, and held at 25 °C, 14:10 light-dark for five to seven
days. Percent mortality was recorded for the larvae in each well; activity in the
eight wells was then averaged. The results are indicated in the table entitled
"Table: Bio Results" (See Table Section).
Examplel6: BIOASSAYS ON GREEN PEACH APHID ("GPA") (Myzuspersicae).
[0136] GPA is the most significant aphid pest of peach trees, causing decreased growth,
shriveling of the leaves, and the death of various tissues. It is also hazardous because
it acts as a vector for the transport of plant viruses, such as potato virus Y and
potato leafroll virus to members of the nightshade/potato family
Solanaceae, and various mosaic viruses to many other food crops. GPA attacks such plants as broccoli,
burdock, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, daikon, eggplant, green beans, lettuce, macadamia,
papaya, peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watercress, and zucchini, among other plants.
GPA also attacks many ornamental crops such as carnation, chrysanthemum, flowering
white cabbage, poinsettia, and roses. GPA has developed resistance to many pesticides.
[0137] Certain molecules disclosed in this document were tested against GPA using procedures
described in the following example. In the reporting of the results, the
"GPA Rating Table" was used (See Table Section).
[0138] Cabbage seedlings grown in 3-inch pots, with 2-3 small (3-5 cm) true leaves, were
used as test substrate. The seedlings were infested with 20-50 GPA (wingless adult
and nymph stages) one day prior to chemical application. Four pots with individual
seedlings were used for each treatment. Test compounds (2 mg) were dissolved in 2
mL of acetone/methanol (1:1) solvent, forming stock solutions of 1000 ppm test compound.
The stock solutions were diluted 5X with 0.025% Tween 20 in H
2O to obtain the solution at 200 ppm test compound. A hand-held aspirator-type sprayer
was used for spraying a solution to both sides of cabbage leaves until runoff. Reference
plants (solvent check) were sprayed with the diluent only containing 20% by volume
of acetone/methanol (1:1) solvent. Treated plants were held in a holding room for
three days at approximately 25 °C and ambient relative humidity (RH) prior to grading.
Evaluation was conducted by counting the number of live aphids per plant under a microscope.
Percent Control was measured by using Abbott's correction formula (
W.S. Abbott, "A Method of Computing the Effectiveness of an Insecticide" J. Econ.
Entomol. 18 (1925), pp.265-267) as follows.

where
X = No. of live aphids on solvent check plants and
Y = No. of live aphids on treated plants

PESTICIDALLY ACCEPTABLE ACID ADDITION SALTS, SALT DERIVATIVES, SOLVATES, ESTER DERIVATIVES,
POLYMORPHS, ISOTOPES AND RADIONUCLIDES
[0140] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be formulated into pesticidally
acceptable acid addition salts. By way of a non-limiting example, an amine function
can form salts with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, benzoic,
citric, malonic, salicylic, malic, fumaric, oxalic, succinic, tartaric, lactic, gluconic,
ascorbic, maleic, aspartic, benzenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, hydroxymethanesulfonic,
and hydroxyethanesulfonic acids. Additionally, by way of a non-limiting example, an
acid function can form salts including those derived from alkali or alkaline earth
metals and those derived from ammonia and amines. Examples of preferred cations include
sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
[0141] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be formulated into salt derivatives.
By way of a non-limiting example, a salt derivative can be prepared by contacting
a free base with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt. A free
base may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution
such as dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium carbonate, ammonia, and
sodium bicarbonate. As an example, in many cases, a pesticide, such as 2,4-D, is made
more water-soluble by converting it to its dimethylamine salt..
[0142] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be formulated into stable complexes
with a solvent, such that the complex remains intact after the non-complexed solvent
is removed. These complexes are often referred to as "solvates." However, it is particularly
desirable to form stable hydrates with water as the solvent.
[0143] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be made into ester derivatives.
These ester derivatives can then be applied in the same manner as the invention disclosed
in this document is applied.
[0144] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be made as various crystal polymorphs.
Polymorphism is important in the development of agrochemicals since different crystal
polymorphs or structures of the same molecule can have vastly different physical properties
and biological performances.
[0145] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be made with different isotopes.
Of particular importance are molecules having
2H (also known as deuterium) in place of
1H.
[0146] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be made with different radionuclides.
Of particular importance are molecules having
14C.
STEREOISOMERS
[0147] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may exist as one or more stereoisomers.
Thus, certain molecules can be produced as racemic mixtures. It will be appreciated
by those skilled in the art that one stereoisomer may be more active than the other
stereoisomers. Individual stereoisomers may be obtained by known selective synthetic
procedures, by conventional synthetic procedures using resolved starting materials,
or by conventional resolution procedures.
INSECTICIDES
[0148] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be used in combination (such
as, in a compositional mixture, or a simultaneous or sequential application) with
one or more of the following insecticides - 1,2-dichloropropane, abamectin, acephate,

BIOPESTICIDES
[0153] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be used in combination (such
as in a compositional mixture, or a simultaneous or sequential application) with one
or more biopesticides. The term "biopesticide" is used for microbial biological pest
control agents that are applied in a similar manner to chemical pesticides. Commonly
these are bacterial, but there are also examples of fungal control agents, including
Trichoderma spp. and
Ampelomyces quisqualis (a control agent for grape powdery mildew).
Bacillus subtilis are used to control plant pathogens. Weeds and rodents have also been controlled
with microbial agents. One well-known insecticide example is
Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterial disease of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera. Because it has little
effect on other organisms, it is considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic
pesticides. Biological insecticides include products based on:
- 1. entomopathogenic fungi (e.g. Metarhizium anisopliae);
- 2. entomopathogenic nematodes (e.g. Steinernema feltiae); and
- 3. entomopathogenic viruses (e.g. Cydia pomonella granulovirus).
[0154] Other examples of entomopathogenic organisms include, but are not limited to, baculoviruses,
bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms, fungi, protozoa and Microsproridia. Biologically
derived insecticides include, but not limited to, rotenone, veratridine, as well as
microbial toxins; insect tolerant or resistant plant varieties; and organisms modified
by recombinant DNA technology to either produce insecticides or to convey an insect
resistant property to the genetically modified organism. In one embodiment, the molecules
of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be used with one or more biopesticides in
the area of seed treatments and soil amendments. The Manual of Biocontrol Agents gives
a review of the available biological insecticide (and other biology-based control)
products.

FORMULATIONS
[0158] A pesticide is rarely suitable for application in its pure form. It is usually necessary
to add other substances so that the pesticide can be used at the required concentration
and in an appropriate form, permitting ease of application, handling, transportation,
storage, and maximum pesticide activity. Thus, pesticides are formulated into, for
example, baits, concentrated emulsions, dusts, emulsifiable concentrates, fumigants,
gels, granules, microencapsulations, seed treatments, suspension concentrates, suspoemulsions,
tablets, water soluble liquids, water dispersible granules or dry flowables, wettable
powders, and ultra low volume solutions. For further information on formulation types
see "
Catalogue of Pesticide Formulation Types and International Coding System" Technical
Monograph n°2, 5th Edition by CropLife International (2002).
[0159] Pesticides are applied most often as aqueous suspensions or emulsions prepared from
concentrated formulations of such pesticides. Such water-soluble, water-suspendable,
or emulsifiable formulations are either solids, usually known as wettable powders,
or water dispersible granules, or liquids usually known as emulsifiable concentrates,
or aqueous suspensions. Wettable powders, which may be compacted to form water dispersible
granules, comprise an intimate mixture of the pesticide, a carrier, and surfactants.
The concentration of the pesticide is usually from about 10% to about 90% by weight.
The carrier is usually chosen from among the attapulgite clays, the montmorillonite
clays, the diatomaceous earths, or the purified silicates. Effective surfactants,
comprising from about 0.5% to about 10% of the wettable powder, are found among sulfonated
lignins, condensed naphthalenesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates,
alkyl sulfates, and non-ionic surfactants such as ethylene oxide adducts of alkyl
phenols.
[0160] Emulsifiable concentrates of pesticides comprise a convenient concentration of a
pesticide, such as from about 50 to about 500 grams per liter of liquid dissolved
in a carrier that is either a water miscible solvent or a mixture of water-immiscible
organic solvent and emulsifiers. Useful organic solvents include aromatics, especially
xylenes and petroleum fractions, especially the high-boiling naphthalenic and olefinic
portions of petroleum such as heavy aromatic naphtha. Other organic solvents may also
be used, such as the terpenic solvents including rosin derivatives, aliphatic ketones
such as cyclohexanone, and complex alcohols such as 2-ethoxyethanol. Suitable emulsifiers
for emulsifiable concentrates are chosen from conventional anionic and non-ionic surfactants.
[0161] Aqueous suspensions comprise suspensions of water-insoluble pesticides dispersed
in an aqueous carrier at a concentration in the range from about 5% to about 50% by
weight. Suspensions are prepared by finely grinding the pesticide and vigorously mixing
it into a carrier comprised of water and surfactants. Ingredients, such as inorganic
salts and synthetic or natural gums may also be added, to increase the density and
viscosity of the aqueous carrier. It is often most effective to grind and mix the
pesticide at the same time by preparing the aqueous mixture and homogenizing it in
an implement such as a sand mill, ball mill, or piston-type homogenizer.
[0162] Pesticides may also be applied as granular compositions that are particularly useful
for applications to the soil. Granular compositions usually contain from about 0.5%
to about 10% by weight of the pesticide, dispersed in a carrier that comprises clay
or a similar substance. Such compositions are usually prepared by dissolving the pesticide
in a suitable solvent and applying it to a granular carrier which has been pre-formed
to the appropriate particle size, in the range of from about 0.5 to about 3 mm. Such
compositions may also be formulated by making a dough or paste of the carrier and
compound and crushing and drying to obtain the desired granular particle size.
[0163] Dusts containing a pesticide are prepared by intimately mixing the pesticide in powdered
form with a suitable dusty agricultural carrier, such as kaolin clay, ground volcanic
rock, and the like. Dusts can suitably contain from about 1% to about 10% of the pesticide.
They can be applied as a seed dressing or as a foliage application with a dust blower
machine.
[0164] It is equally practical to apply a pesticide in the form of a solution in an appropriate
organic solvent, usually petroleum oil, such as the spray oils, which are widely used
in agricultural chemistry.
[0165] Pesticides can also be applied in the form of an aerosol composition. In such compositions
the pesticide is dissolved or dispersed in a carrier, which is a pressure-generating
propellant mixture. The aerosol composition is packaged in a container from which
the mixture is dispensed through an atomizing valve.
[0166] Pesticide baits are formed when the pesticide is mixed with food or an attractant
or both. When the pests eat the bait they also consume the pesticide. Baits may take
the form of granules, gels, flowable powders, liquids, or solids. They can be used
in pest harborages.
[0167] Fumigants are pesticides that have a relatively high vapor pressure and hence can
exist as a gas in sufficient concentrations to kill pests in soil or enclosed spaces.
The toxicity of the fumigant is proportional to its concentration and the exposure
time. They are characterized by a good capacity for diffusion and act by penetrating
the pest's respiratory system or being absorbed through the pest's cuticle. Fumigants
are applied to control stored product pests under gas proof sheets, in gas sealed
rooms or buildings or in special chambers.
[0168] Pesticides can be microencapsulated by suspending the pesticide particles or droplets
in plastic polymers of various types. By altering the chemistry of the polymer or
by changing factors in the processing, microcapsules can be formed of various sizes,
solubility, wall thicknesses, and degrees of penetrability. These factors govern the
speed with which the active ingredient within is released, which in turn, affects
the residual performance, speed of action, and odor of the product.
[0169] Oil solution concentrates are made by dissolving pesticide in a solvent that will
hold the pesticide in solution. Oil solutions of a pesticide usually provide faster
knockdown and kill of pests than other formulations due to the solvents themselves
having pesticidal action and the dissolution of the waxy covering of the integument
increasing the speed of uptake of the pesticide. Other advantages of oil solutions
include better storage stability, better penetration of crevices, and better adhesion
to greasy surfaces.
[0170] Another embodiment is an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein the emulsion comprises oily
globules which are each provided with a lamellar liquid crystal coating and are dispersed
in an aqueous phase, wherein each oily globule comprises at least one compound which
is agriculturally active, and is individually coated with a monolamellar or oligolamellar
layer comprising: (1) at least one non-ionic lipophilic surface-active agent, (2)
at least one non-ionic hydrophilic surface-active agent and (3) at least one ionic
surface-active agent, wherein the globules having a mean particle diameter of less
than 800 nanometers. Further information on the embodiment is disclosed in
U.S. patent publication 20070027034 published February 1, 2007, having Patent Application serial number
11/495,228. For ease of use, this embodiment will be referred to as "OIWE".
OTHER FORMULATION COMPONENTS
[0172] Generally, when the molecules disclosed in Formula One are used in a formulation,
such formulation can also contain other components. These components include, but
are not limited to, (this is a non-exhaustive and non-mutually exclusive list) wetters,
spreaders, stickers, penetrants, buffers, sequestering agents, drift reduction agents,
compatibility agents, anti-foam agents, cleaning agents, and emulsifiers. A few components
are described forthwith.
[0173] A wetting agent is a substance that when added to a liquid increases the spreading
or penetration power of the liquid by reducing the interfacial tension between the
liquid and the surface on which it is spreading. Wetting agents are used for two main
functions in agrochemical formulations: during processing and manufacture to increase
the rate of wetting of powders in water to make concentrates for soluble liquids or
suspension concentrates; and during mixing of a product with water in a spray tank
to reduce the wetting time of wettable powders and to improve the penetration of water
into water-dispersible granules. Examples of wetting agents used in wettable powder,
suspension concentrate, and water-dispersible granule formulations are: sodium lauryl
sulfate; sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate; alkyl phenol ethoxylates; and aliphatic alcohol
ethoxylates.
[0174] A dispersing agent is a substance which adsorbs onto the surface of particles and
helps to preserve the state of dispersion of the particles and prevents them from
reaggregating. Dispersing agents are added to agrochemical formulations to facilitate
dispersion and suspension during manufacture, and to ensure the particles redisperse
into water in a spray tank. They are widely used in wettable powders, suspension concentrates
and water-dispersible granules. Surfactants that are used as dispersing agents have
the ability to adsorb strongly onto a particle surface and provide a charged or steric
barrier to reaggregation of particles. The most commonly used surfactants are anionic,
non-ionic, or mixtures of the two types. For wettable powder formulations, the most
common dispersing agents are sodium lignosulfonates. For suspension concentrates,
very good adsorption and stabilization are obtained using polyelectrolytes, such as
sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates. Tristyrylphenol ethoxylate
phosphate esters are also used. Non-ionics such as alkylarylethylene oxide condensates
and EO-PO block copolymers are sometimes combined with anionics as dispersing agents
for suspension concentrates. In recent years, new types of very high molecular weight
polymeric surfactants have been developed as dispersing agents. These have very long
hydrophobic 'backbones' and a large number of ethylene oxide chains forming the 'teeth'
of a 'comb' surfactant. These high molecular weight polymers can give very good long-term
stability to suspension concentrates because the hydrophobic backbones have many anchoring
points onto the particle surfaces. Examples of dispersing agents used in agrochemical
formulations are: sodium lignosulfonates; sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde
condensates; tristyrylphenol ethoxylate phosphate esters; aliphatic alcohol ethoxylates;
alkyl ethoxylates; EO-PO block copolymers; and graft copolymers.
[0175] An emulsifying agent is a substance which stabilizes a suspension of droplets of
one liquid phase in another liquid phase. Without the emulsifying agent the two liquids
would separate into two immiscible liquid phases. The most commonly used emulsifier
blends contain alkylphenol or aliphatic alcohol with twelve or more ethylene oxide
units and the oil-soluble calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. A range of
hydrophile-lipophile balance ("HLB") values from 8 to 18 will normally provide good
stable emulsions. Emulsion stability can sometimes be improved by the addition of
a small amount of an EO-PO block copolymer surfactant.
[0176] A solubilizing agent is a surfactant which will form micelles in water at concentrations
above the critical micelle concentration. The micelles are then able to dissolve or
solubilize water-insoluble materials inside the hydrophobic part of the micelle. The
types of surfactants usually used for solubilization are non-ionics, sorbitan monooleates,
sorbitan monooleate ethoxylates, and methyl oleate esters.
[0177] Surfactants are sometimes used, either alone or with other additives such as mineral
or vegetable oils as adjuvants to spray-tank mixes to improve the biological performance
of the pesticide on the target. The types of surfactants used for bioenhancement depend
generally on the nature and mode of action of the pesticide. However, they are often
non-ionics such as: alkyl ethoxylates; linear aliphatic alcohol ethoxylates; aliphatic
amine ethoxylates.
[0178] A carrier or diluent in an agricultural formulation is a material added to the pesticide
to give a product of the required strength. Carriers are usually materials with high
absorptive capacities, while diluents are usually materials with low absorptive capacities.
Carriers and diluents are used in the formulation of dusts, wettable powders, granules
and water-dispersible granules.
[0179] Organic solvents are used mainly in the formulation of emulsifiable concentrates,
oil-in-water emulsions, suspoemulsions, and ultra low volume formulations, and to
a lesser extent, granular formulations. Sometimes mixtures of solvents are used. The
first main groups of solvents are aliphatic paraffinic oils such as kerosene or refined
paraffins. The second main group (and the most common) comprises the aromatic solvents
such as xylene and higher molecular weight fractions of C9 and C10 aromatic solvents.
Chlorinated hydrocarbons are useful as cosolvents to prevent crystallization of pesticides
when the formulation is emulsified into water. Alcohols are sometimes used as cosolvents
to increase solvent power. Other solvents may include vegetable oils, seed oils, and
esters of vegetable and seed oils.
[0180] Thickeners or gelling agents are used mainly in the formulation of suspension concentrates,
emulsions and suspoemulsions to modify the rheology or flow properties of the liquid
and to prevent separation and settling of the dispersed particles or droplets. Thickening,
gelling, and anti-settling agents generally fall into two categories, namely water-insoluble
particulates and water-soluble polymers. It is possible to produce suspension concentrate
formulations using clays and silicas. Examples of these types of materials, include,
but are not limited to, montmorillonite, bentonite, magnesium aluminum silicate, and
attapulgite. Water-soluble polysaccharides have been used as thickening-gelling agents
for many years. The types of polysaccharides most commonly used are natural extracts
of seeds and seaweeds or are synthetic derivatives of cellulose. Examples of these
types of materials include, but are not limited to, guar gum; locust bean gum; carrageenam;
alginates; methyl cellulose; sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC); hydroxyethyl cellulose
(HEC). Other types of anti-settling agents are based on modified starches, polyacrylates,
polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene oxide. Another good anti-settling agent is xanthan
gum.
[0181] Microorganisms can cause spoilage of formulated products. Therefore preservation
agents are used to eliminate or reduce their effect. Examples of such agents include,
but are not limited to: propionic acid and its sodium salt; sorbic acid and its sodium
or potassium salts; benzoic acid and its sodium salt;
p-hydroxybenzoic acid sodium salt; methyl p-hydroxybenzoate; and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one
(BIT).
[0182] The presence of surfactants often causes water-based formulations to foam during
mixing operations in production and in application through a spray tank. In order
to reduce the tendency to foam, anti-foam agents are often added either during the
production stage or before filling into bottles. Generally, there are two types of
anti-foam agents, namely silicones and non-silicones. Silicones are usually aqueous
emulsions of dimethyl polysiloxane, while the non-silicone anti-foam agents are water-insoluble
oils, such as octanol and nonanol, or silica. In both cases, the function of the anti-foam
agent is to displace the surfactant from the air-water interface.
[0183] "Green" agents (
e.g., adjuvants, surfactants, solvents) can reduce the overall environmental footprint
of crop protection formulations. Green agents are biodegradable and generally derived
from natural and/or sustainable sources,
e.g. plant and animal sources. Specific examples are: vegetable oils, seed oils, and
esters thereof, also alkoxylated alkyl polyglucosides.

APPLICATIONS
[0207] Molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four are generally used in amounts from
about 0.01 grams per hectare to about 5000 grams per hectare to provide control. Amounts
from about 0.1 grams per hectare to about 500 grams per hectare are generally preferred,
and amounts from about 1 gram per hectare to about 50 grams per hectare are generally
more preferred.
[0208] The area to which a molecule of Formula One is applied can be any area inhabited
(or maybe inhabited, or traversed by) a pest, for example: where crops, trees, fruits,
cereals, fodder species, vines, turf and ornamental plants, are growing; where domesticated
animals are residing; the interior or exterior surfaces of buildings (such as places
where grains are stored), the materials of construction used in building (such as
impregnated wood), and the soil around buildings. Particular crop areas to use a molecule
of Formula One include areas where apples, corn, sunflowers, cotton, soybeans, canola,
wheat, rice, sorghum, barley, oats, potatoes, oranges, alfalfa, lettuce, strawberries,
tomatoes, peppers, crucifers, pears, tobacco, almonds, sugar beets, beans and other
valuable crops are growing or the seeds thereof are going to be planted. It is also
advantageous to use aluminum sulfate with a molecule of Formula One when growing various
plants.
[0209] Controlling pests generally means that pest populations, pest activity, or both,
are reduced in an area. This can come about when: pest populations are repulsed from
an area; when pests are incapacitated in or around an area; or pests are exterminated,
in whole, or in part, in or around an area. Of course, a combination of these results
can occur. Generally, pest populations, activity, or both are desirably reduced more
than fifty percent, preferably more than 90 percent. Generally, the area is not in
or on a human; consequently, the locus is generally a non-human area.
[0210] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be used in mixtures, applied
simultaneously or sequentially, alone or with other compounds to enhance plant vigor
(
e.g. to grow a better root system, to better withstand stressful growing conditions).
Such other compounds are, for example, compounds that modulate plant ethylene receptors,
most notably 1-methylcyclopropene (also known as 1-MCP).
[0211] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four can be applied to the foliar and
fruiting portions of plants to control pests. The molecules will either come in direct
contact with the pest, or the pest will consume the pesticide when eating leaf, fruit
mass, or extracting sap, that contains the pesticide. The molecules of Formula One,
Two, Three, and Four can also be applied to the soil, and when applied in this manner,
root and stem feeding pests can be controlled. The roots can absorb a molecule taking
it up into the foliar portions of the plant to control above ground chewing and sap
feeding pests.
[0212] Generally, with baits, the baits are placed in the ground where, for example, termites
can come into contact with, and/or be attracted to, the bait. Baits can also be applied
to a surface of a building, (horizontal, vertical, or slant surface) where, for example,
ants, termites, cockroaches, and flies, can come into contact with, and/or be attracted
to, the bait. Baits can comprise a molecule of Formula One.
[0213] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four can be encapsulated inside, or
placed on the surface of a capsule. The size of the capsules can range from nanometer
size (about 100-900 nanometers in diameter) to micrometer size (about 10-900 microns
in diameter).
[0214] Because of the unique ability of the eggs of some pests to resist certain pesticides,
repeated applications of the molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be
desirable to control newly emerged larvae.
[0215] Systemic movement of pesticides in plants may be utilized to control pests on one
portion of the plant by applying (for example by spraying an area) the molecules of
Formula One, Two, Three, and Four to a different portion of the plant. For example,
control of foliar-feeding insects can be achieved by drip irrigation or furrow application,
by treating the soil with for example pre- or post-planting soil drench, or by treating
the seeds of a plant before planting.
[0216] Seed treatment can be applied to all types of seeds, including those from which plants
genetically modified to express specialized traits will germinate. Representative
examples include those expressing proteins toxic to invertebrate pests, such as
Bacillus thuringiensis or other insecticidal toxins, those expressing herbicide resistance, such as "Roundup
Ready" seed, or those with "stacked" foreign genes expressing insecticidal toxins,
herbicide resistance, nutrition-enhancement, drought resistance, or any other beneficial
traits. Furthermore, such seed treatments with the molecules of Formula One, Two,
Three, and Four may further enhance the ability of a plant to better withstand stressful
growing conditions. This results in a healthier, more vigorous plant, which can lead
to higher yields at harvest time. Generally, about 1 gram of the molecules of Formula
One, Two, Three, and Four to about 500 grams per 100,000 seeds is expected to provide
good benefits, amounts from about 10 grams to about 100 grams per 100,000 seeds is
expected to provide better benefits, and amounts from about 25 grams to about 75 grams
per 100,000 seeds is expected to provide even better benefits.
[0217] It should be readily apparent that the molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and
Four may be used on, in, or around plants genetically modified to express specialized
traits, such as
Bacillus thuringiensis or other insecticidal toxins, or those expressing herbicide resistance, or those
with "stacked" foreign genes expressing insecticidal toxins, herbicide resistance,
nutrition-enhancement, or any other beneficial traits.
[0218] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may be used for controlling endoparasites
and ectoparasites in the veterinary medicine sector or in the field of non-human animal
keeping. The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four are applied, such as by
oral administration in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, drinks, granules,
by dermal application in the form of, for example, dipping, spraying, pouring on,
spotting on, and dusting, and by parenteral administration in the form of, for example,
an injection.
[0219] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be employed advantageously
in livestock keeping, for example, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and geese. They
may also be employed advantageously in pets such as, horses, dogs, and cats. Particular
pests to control would be fleas and ticks that are bothersome to such animals. Suitable
formulations are administered orally to the animals with the drinking water or feed.
The dosages and formulations that are suitable depend on the species.
[0220] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be used for controlling
parasitic worms, especially of the intestine, in the animals listed above.
[0221] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be employed in therapeutic
methods for human health care. Such methods include, but are limited to, oral administration
in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, drinks, granules, and by dermal application.
[0222] Pests around the world have been migrating to new environments (for such pest) and
thereafter becoming a new invasive species in such new environment. The molecules
of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be used on such new invasive species
to control them in such new environment.
[0223] The molecules of Formula One, Two, Three, and Four may also be used in an area where
plants, such as crops, are growing (
e.g. pre-planting, planting, pre-harvesting) and where there are low levels (even no
actual presence) of pests that can commercially damage such plants. The use of such
molecules in such area is to benefit the plants being grown in the area. Such benefits,
may include, but are not limited to, improving the health of a plant, improving the
yield of a plant (
e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), improving the
vigor of a plant (
e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves), improving the quality of a plant (
e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients), and improving the tolerance
to abiotic and/or biotic stress of the plant.
[0224] Before a pesticide can be used or sold commercially, such pesticide undergoes lengthy
evaluation processes by various governmental authorities (local, regional, state,
national, and international). Voluminous data requirements are specified by regulatory
authorities and must be addressed through data generation and submission by the product
registrant or by a third party on the product registrant's behalf, often using a computer
with a connection to the World Wide Web. These governmental authorities then review
such data and if a determination of safety is concluded, provide the potential user
or seller with product registration approval. Thereafter, in that locality where the
product registration is granted and supported, such user or seller may use or sell
such pesticide.
[0225] A molecules according to Formula One, Two, Three, and Four can be tested to determine
its efficacy against pests. Furthermore, mode of action studies can be conducted to
determine if said molecule has a different mode of action than other pesticides. Thereafter,
such acquired data can be disseminated, such as by the internet, to third parties.
