| abstract |
This invention provides compounds of formula (1) wherein X is CR5, where R5 is H, Cl or CH¿3?; Y is CR?5¿ where R5 is H, Cl, or Br; Z is O, S, SO, SO¿2, NR?6, where R6 is H, C¿1?-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 acyl, CR?7R8¿, where R?7 and R8¿ are independently H, C¿1?-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkenyl, C2-C4 alkynyl, C1-C4 acyl, CN, or OH, or R?7 and R8¿ together combine to form a carbocyclic ring containing four to six carbon atoms; V is CR7R8 where R?7 and R8¿ are independently H, C¿1?-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkenyl, C2-C4 alkynyl, C1-C4 acyl, CN, optionally substituted phenoxy, halo C1-C4 alkyl, or OH, or R?7 and R8¿ together combine to form a carbocyclic ring containing four to six carbon atoms; A is (a) a C¿1?-C18 saturated or unsaturated straight or branched hydrocarbon chain, optionally including a hetero atom selected from O, S, SO, or SO2, and optionally substituted with halo, halo C1-C4 alkoxy, OH, or C1-C4 acyl; (b) C3-C8 cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl; (c) a possibly substituted phenyl group; (d) a furyl group of formula (3); (e) a thienyl group; (f) a group of formula (5) or (5a); (g) a group selected from pyridyl or substituted pyridyl; (h) a group selected from pyrimidinyl or substituted pyrimidinyl; or (i) a group selected from 1-naphthyl, substituted 1-naphthyl, 4-pyrazolyl, 3-methyl-4-pyrazolyl, 1,3-benzodioxolyl, tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]dec-2-yl,1-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl, pyridyl, substituted pyridyl, or an acid addition salt of a compound of formula (1), or an N-oxide of a compound of formula (1) where Y is CH. The compounds of formula (1) are plant fungicides. |
