Dimethoxypyrimidines as Novel Herbicides. Part 1. Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Dimethoxyphenoxyphenoxypyrimidines and Analogues
摘要:
A number of 6-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)pyrimidines and triazines were synthesized and their herbicidal activity was measured. Compounds with the methoxy groups at the 2- and 4-positions on the pyrimidine and triazine rings exhibited high herbicidal activity. Introduction of a substituent into the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring diminished the activity. In the phenoxyphenoxy substructure at the 6-position, the central ether bond can be replaced by a methylene group without loss of activity. The optimum substituent on the terminal phenyl ring was 3-trifluoromethyl. The compounds showed a strong Hill reaction inhibition, but unfortunately showed poor selectivity between weeds and crops.

Model studies show that displacement of fluorine, rather than chlorine, occurs upon reaction of 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoropyridine with sodium methoxide and phenoxide. Subsequent hydro-dechlorination can be achieved by reaction with lithium aluminium hydride whereas reaction of sodium in iso-propanol leads to formation of the tri-iso-propoxy pyridine derivative, via nucleophilic substitution of the
