The present invention pertains to a process for preparing compounds of Formula I (useful as fungicides and/or intermediates for producing fungicides)
wherein Q is O or NH; W is O or S; X is H, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 haloalkyl or OR4; Y is H or halogen; R1 is C1-C4 alkyl; R4 is C1 -C4 alkyl, C1 -C4 haloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl; and * represents the location of the chiral center; and important intermediates of Formula II used in that process.
The process of this invention comprises treating a compound of Formula II (that is racemic, enantiomerically enriched, or enantiomerically pure at chiral center *), or esters thereof,
wherein OR3 is an oxygen-linked coupling agent (and Q, W, X, R1, R4 and * are as previously defined); with phenyl hydrazine in the presence of an acidic catalyst (and preferrably a basic catalyst).
本发明涉及一种制备Formula I化合物的过程(作为杀菌剂和/或用于生产杀菌剂的中间体),其中Q为O或NH;W为O或S;X为H、卤素、C1-C4烷基、C1-C4卤代烷基或OR4;Y为H或卤素;R1为C1-C4烷基;R4为C1-C4烷基、C1-C4卤代烷基或可选地取代的苯基;*表示手性中心的位置;以及在该过程中使用的Formula II的重要中间体。本发明的过程包括在存在酸性催化剂(最好是碱性催化剂)的情况下,处理Formula II化合物(即在手性中心*处为消旋、对映富集或对映纯的化合物,或其酯),其中OR3为氧键合偶联剂(且Q、W、X、R1、R4和*如前所定义);与苯基肼发生反应。
