Antimicrobial agents which are substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine compounds.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/777,832, filed Oct. 10, 1991, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,196,441. 
    
    
     The present invention relates to the use of substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives, some of which are known, as anti-microbial agents in plant protection, mainly as fungicides and as antimycotics, as well as new substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives, and a plurality of processes for their preparation. 
     It is already known that certain tetrahydrophthalimides such as, for example, cis-N-[(trichloromethyl)thio]-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboimide, have fungicidal properties (cf. for example, Science, (Washington) 115, 84 (1952); U.S. Pat. No. 2,553,770). 
     However, the action of these compounds is not always entirely satisfactory in all fields of application, in particular when small amounts and low concentrations are applied. 
     Furthermore, it is also already known that 2-cycloalkenylamine derivatives and their salts, such as, for example N-2-cyclohexen-1-yl-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide, have fungicidal properties (cf. EP-OS (European Published Specification) 0,128,006). 
     It has now been found that the substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives, some of which are known, of the formula (I) ##STR2## in which R 1  represents hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, 
     R 2  represents formyl, hydroxyalkyl, or one of the radicals ##STR3## R 3  and R 4  are identical or different and in each case represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, or represent unsubstituted or substituted aryl, or represent unsubstituted or substituted aralkyl, or represent unsubstituted or substituted heteroaryl or alkoxyalkyloxy, 
     R 5  represents alkyl or alkoxy, 
     R 6  represents hydroxyl, hydroxyalkyloxy, halogenoalkyloxy, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyloxy, in each case unsubstituted or substituted alkenylalkyloxy, alkinylalkyloxy and cycloalkyloxy, unsubstituted or substituted aralkyloxy, unsubstituted or substituted aryloxy, unsubstituted or substituted aralkyl, alkylthio, unsubstituted or substituted arylthio, or represents a group --OM, --NR 8  R 9  or --O--Z--NR 8  R 9 , 
     represents hydrogen or alkyl, 
     R 8  represents hydrogen, alkyl or unsubstituted or substituted aryl, 
     R 9  represents hydrogen, alkyl or unsubstituted or substituted aryl, 
     M represents hydrogen, or represents an equivalent of a corresponding alkali metal cation, alkaline earth metal cation or ammonium cation, 
     X and X 1  are identical or different and represent oxygen or sulphur, 
     A represents hydrogen or an amino protective group, and 
     Z represents a straight-chain or branched alkyl chain, 
     and their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes have powerful biological properties. 
     The compounds of the formula (I) contain 1 to 4 centres of chirality and can therefore exist in various mixtures of enantiomers and diastereomers which, if desired, can be separated in the customary fashion. The invention also claims the use of the pure enantiomers and diastereomers as well as the use of the mixtures. 
     For simplicity&#39;s sake, the following text will always mention the use of compounds of the formula (I), even though this is understood as meaning the pure compounds as well as the mixtures with various proportions of isomeric, enantiomeric and diastereomeric compounds. 
     Surprisingly, the substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (I), some of which are known, and their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes have outstanding fungicidal properties when applied in appropriate concentrations. In addition, the substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (I), some of which are known, also have very good anti-microbial properties when applied in appropriate concentrations.

     The term &#34;amino protective group&#34; is generally known and relates to groups which are suitable for protecting (blocking) an amino group from chemical reactions, but which are readily detachable after the desired reaction has been carried out at different sites of the molecule. Typical representatives of such groups are, in particular, unsubstituted or substituted acyl groups, aryl groups, for example DNP (2,4-dinitrophenyl), aralkoxymethyl groups, for example BOM (N-(benzyloxy)methyl) or aralkyl groups (for example benzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl or triphenylmethyl). Since the amino protective groups are removed after the desired reaction (or reaction sequence), their nature and size is usually not crucial; however, those having 1-20, in particular 1-8, carbon atoms are preferred. The term &#34;acyl group&#34; in connection with the present invention must be seen in the broadest sense. It embraces acyl groups which are derived from aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids or sulphonic acids, and, in particular alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, and mainly aralkoxycarbonyl groups. Examples of acyl groups of this type are alkanoyl such as acetyl, propionyl, butyryl; aralkanoyl such as phenylacetyl; aroyl such as benzoyl or toluyl; aryloxyalkanoyl such as POA (phenoxyacetyl); alkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, BOC (tert.-butoxycarbonyl), 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl; aralkyloxycarbonyl such as CBZ (&#34;carbobenzoxy&#34;) and 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl. Preferred amino protective groups are benzyl, acetyl, methoxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl, trichloroethyloxycarbonyl, (±)-menthyloxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl and benzyloxycarbonyl.

     The acid addition salts and metal salt complexes to be mentioned in this connection are those which have already been mentioned in the description of the preferred 2-cyclohexen-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (Ia) which were substituted according to the invention. 
     The substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (Ia) are obtained when 
     A) 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (II) ##STR11## or B) phenylamine derivatives of the formula (III) ##STR12##  in which R 1&#39; , R 2&#39; , R 3&#39; , R 4&#39; , R 5&#39; , R 6&#39;  and A in each case have the abovementioned meaning and

     The substituted 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (Ia) in which 
     A represents hydrogen are furthermore obtained 
     C) from the 2-cyclohexane derivatives of the formula (Ia) ##STR13##  in which R 1&#39; , R 2&#39; , R 3&#39; , R 4&#39; , R 5&#39;  and R 6&#39;  have the abovementioned meaning and 
     A represents an amino protective group 
     in a manner known per se by customary methods, for example by solvolysis, such as hydrolysis, acidolysis, by reduction such as, for example, by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a hydrogenation, catalyst or by means of a reduction system comprising metal and proton-eliminating agent, where, depending on the nature of the protective group, various types (also other types) of elimination methods, also selective elimination methods, can be used, if appropriate in the presence of a suitable solvent or diluent or a mixture of these, the process being carried out, if required, with cooling, at room temperature or with heating, for example, in a temperature range from about -10° C. to the boiling point of the reaction medium, preferably from about -10° C. to about 150° C., and, if necessary, in a sealed vessel, under pressure, in an inert gas atmosphere and/or under anhydrous conditions, 
     and, if desired, the resulting products are converted into acid addition salts or metal salt complexes (cf. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Th. W. Greene, Wiley Interscience, 1981). 
     The formyl, acetyl or 2,2,2-trichloroacetyl group which has been mentioned, amongst others, as amino protective group, can be eliminated for example by hydrolysis. 
     The hydrolysis is effected in a manner known per se with the aid of water, this process being carried out advantageously in the presence of an acid or base which aids hydrolysis, if appropriate in the presence of an inert solvent or diluent, and/or with cooling or heating. 
     Examples of possible acids are inorganic acids such as mineral acids, for example sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid or hydrohalic acids, organic carboxylic acids such as lower alkanecarboxylic acids, for example glacial acetic acid, such as optionally unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, for example oxalic, malonic, maleic or fumaric acid, or such as hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example tartaric acid or citric acid, or sulphonic acids, such as C 1  -C 7  -alkane- or optionally substituted benzenesulphonic acid, for example methane- or p-toluenesulphonic acid. 
     Examples of suitable bases are hydroxides, hydrides, amides, alkanolates, carbonates, triphenylmethylides, di-C 1  -C 7  -alkylamides, amino-C 1  -C 7  -alkylamides or C 1  -C 7  -alkylsilylamides of alkali metals, or naphthalene-amines, C 1  -C 7  -alkylamines, basic heterocycles, ammonium hydroxides, and also carbocyclic amines. Examples which may be mentioned are lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydride, sodium amide, sodium ethylate, potassium tert-butylate, potassium carbonate, lithium triphenylmethylide, lithium diisopropylamide, potassium 3-(aminopropyl) amide, potassium bis-(trimethylsilyl)-amide, dimethyl-aminonaphthalene, di- or triethylamine, pyridine, benzyl-trimethyl-ammonium hydroxide, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) and also 1,8-diaza-bicyclo[5.4.0 ]undec-7-ene (DBU). 
     The acidolysis can be carried out successfully, for example using strong acids, advantageously trifluoroacetic acid or perchloric acid, but also other strong inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid, strong organic carboxylic acids such as trichloroacetic acid, or sulphonic acids such as benzene- or p-toluene sulphonic acid. It is possible for an additional inert solvent to be present. Preferred inert solvents which are suitable are organic solvents, for example carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, amides such as dimethylformamide (DMF), halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, and furthermore also alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, and also water. 
     Mixtures of the abovementioned solvents are also suitable. Trifluoroacetic acid is preferably used in excess without adding a further solvent, perchloric acid is preferably used in the form of a mixture of acetic acid and 70% strength perchloric acid in a ratio of 9:1. The reaction temperatures for these solvolyses are advantageously between about 0° and about 50° C., the process is preferably carried out between 15° and 30° C. (room temperature). 
     For example, the BOC group call preferably be eliminated using 40% strength trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride, or approximately 3 to 5N hydrochloric acid in dioxane at 15°-30° C., and the FMOC group (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) using an approximately 5 to 20% strength solution of dimethylamine, diethylamine or piperidine in dimethylformamide, at 15°-30° C. The DNP group (2,4-dinitrophenyl) can also be eliminated successfully for example using an approximately 3 to 10% strength solution of 2-mercaptoethanol in dimethylformamide/water, at 15°-30° C. Protective groups which can be detached by means of hydrogenolysis (for example BOM, CBZ or benzyl) can be eliminated for example by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (for example a noble-metal catalyst such as palladium, expediently on a support such as charcoal). Suitable solvents in this context are the solvents mentioned above, in particular for example alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol, or amides, such as dimethylformamide. As a rule, the hydrogenolysis is carried out at temperatures from about 0° to 100° C. and a pressure from about 1 to 200 bar, preferably 20° to 30° C. and 1 to 10 bar. For example, hydrogenolysis on the CBZ group is carried out successfully on 5 to 10% Pd/charcoal in methanol at 20°-30° C. 
     Examples of amino protective groups which are eliminated by means of a reducing system of metal and protoneliminating agent are (4-nitro )-benzyloxycarbonyl, 2-iodo- or 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl or phenacyloxycarbonyl. 
     The metal component of the metallic reducing system is, for example, a base metal, such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, for example lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium, or a transition metal, for example zinc, tin, iron or titanium, while suitable proton-eliminating agents are, for example, protonic acids of the type mentioned above, such as hydrochloric acid or acetic acid, C 1  -C 7  -alcohols, such as ethanol, and/or amines or ammonia. Examples of such systems are sodium/ammonia, zinc/hydrochloric or acetic acid, or zinc/ethanol. 
     Furthermore, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl can be split, for example, with a dithionite, such as sodium dithionite, phenacyloxycarbonyl and 2-halogeno-C 2  -C 7  -alkanoyl, for example with the aid of a nucleophilic reagent, such as a thiolate, for example sodium thiophenolate, or thiourea and base, followed by hydrolysis, and allyl or but-2-enyl with the aid of a rhodium(III) halide, such as rhodium(III) chloride. 
     The compounds of the formula (I) which are known can be prepared analogously to the new compounds of the formula (Ia). 
     If, for example, tert.-butyl (6-carbomethoxy-4-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-carbonate, are used as starting substances, the course of the reaction of preparation process (A) can be illustrated by the following equation: ##STR14## 
     If, for example, tert-butyl (4-methyl-2-carbomethoxycyclohexan-1-yl)-carbamate and 1N sodium hydroxide solution are used as starting substances in a first step and 1N hydrochloric acid in a second step, the course of the reaction of the preparation process (C) can be illustrated by the following equation: ##STR15## 
     Formula (II) and formula (III) provide general definitions of the 2-cyclohexen-1-yl-amine derivatives and the phenylamine derivatives, respectively, required as starting substances for carrying out preparation process (A). In this formula (II) or formula (III), R 2&#39; , R 3&#39; , R 4&#39; , R 5&#39;  and R 6&#39;  and R 1&#39;  in formula (II) preferably, or in particular, represent the substituents which have been mentioned above in the description of the new 2-cyclohexan-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (Ia) as being preferred, or particularly preferred, for these radicals. 
     The 2-cyclohexen-1-yl-amine derivatives of the formula (II) and the phenylamine derivatives of the formula (III) are known and can be prepared in a simple, analogous manner by known processes. 
     Processes A and B according to the invention for the preparation of the new cyclohexane derivatives of the formula (Ia) are preferably carried out using diluents.

     However, under certain conditions, the process for the preparation of the new 2-cyclohexane derivatives of the formula (Ia) can also be carried out without diluents and a pressure from 1 to 200 bar. 
     In general, the reactions are carried out in a suitable diluent, and the reaction mixture is stirred for several hours at the particular temperature required. Working-up is carried out in each case by customary methods. In general, the procedure is followed in which the reaction mixture is either concentrated under reduced pressure or poured into water, and the product is isolated by extraction or filtration and purified by chromatography. 
     The compounds of the formula (I), and (Ia) can be obtained as mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. 
     The invention embraces the pure isomers as well as the mixtures. These mixtures of diastereomers can be separated into the components following conventional methods, for example by selective crystallisation, from suitable solvents or chromatography on silica gel or aluminium oxide. Racemates can be resolved by customary methods to give the individual enantiomers, for example by salt formation with optically active acids such as camphorsulphonic acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid and selective crystallisation, or by derivatisation with suitable optically active reagents, separation of the diastereomeric derivatives, and recleavage or separation on optically active column material. 
     Suitable acids for the preparation of acid addition salts of the compounds of the formula (Ia) are preferably those which have already been mentioned in connection with the description of the acid addition salts according to the invention as being preferred acids. 
     The acid addition salts of the compounds of the formula (Ia) can be obtained in a simple manner by customary salt formation methods, for example by dissolving a compound of the general formula (Ia) in a suitable inert solvent and adding the acid, for example hydrochloric acid, and they can be isolated in a customary manner, for example by filtration, and, if appropriate, purified by washing with an inert organic solvent. 
     Suitable salts of metals for the preparation of metal salt complexes of the compounds of the general formula (Ia) are preferably those which have already been described further above. 
     The metal salt complexes of compounds of the general formula (Ia) can be obtained in a simple manner by customary processes, for example by dissolving the metal salt in alcohol, for example ethanol, and adding the solution to compounds of the general formula (Ia). Metal salt complexes can be isolated in a customary manner, for example by filtration, and, if appropriate, purified by recrystallisation. 
     The active compounds of the formulae (I) and (Ia) which can be used according to the invention and their acid addition salts have a powerful biological action and can be employed in practice for combating undesired pests.

     The abovementioned pharmaceutical preparations are produced in a customary manner by known methods, for example by mixing the active compound or active compounds, with the excipient or the excipients. 
     The present invention also includes the use of the active compounds according to the invention and also of pharmaceutical preparations containing one or more active compounds according to the invention, in human and veterinary medicine for the prophylaxis, improvement and/or cure of the abovementioned diseases. 
     The active compounds or the pharmaceutical preparations can be administered locally, orally, parenterally, intraperitoneally and/or rectally, preferably parenterally, in particular intravenously. 
     In general, it has proved advantageous both in human and in veterinary medicine to administer the active compound or active compounds according to the invention in total amounts of about 2.5 to about 200, preferably 5 to 150, mg/kg of body weight every 24 hours, if appropriate in the form of several individual doses, to obtain the desired results. 
     In the case of oral administrations, the active compounds according to the invention are administered in total amounts of about 2.5 to about 200, preferably 5 to 150  mg/kg of body weight every 24 hours, and in the case of parenteral administration in total amounts of about 2.5 to about 50, preferably 1 to 25 mg/kg of body weight every 24 hours. 
     However, it may be necessary to deviate from the said dosages, depending on the species and the body weight of the subject to be treated, the nature and severity of the disease, the type of preparation, and the application of the medicament, and also the period or interval within which the administration takes place. For example, in some cases it may be sufficient to manage with less than the abovementioned amount of active compound, while in other cases the amount of active compound indicated above must be exceeded. The optimum dosage required in each case and the type of administration of the active compounds can easily be established by anyone skilled in the art on the basis of his expert knowledge. 
     The preparation and the use of the active compounds according to the invention can be seen from the examples which follow.

     Preparation of the starting compounds ##STR31## 
     A solution of 10 g (0.05 mol) of methyl 2-carboxy-5-methylcyclohex-3-ene-carboxylate and 8 g (0.062 mol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine in 30 ml of acetone is treated at -5° C. in the course of 30 minutes with a solution of 5.4 g (0.05 mol) of ethyl chloroformate in 15 ml of acetone. After a further 30 minutes at 0° C., an ice-cooled solution of 6.5 g (0.1 mol) of sodium azide in 15 ml of water is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred for 15 minutes at 0° C. and then worked up using water/toluene. 
     The toluene phase which has been concentrated to about 50 ml is then added dropwise to a refluxed solution of 3 g (0.04 mol ) of tert-butanol and 25 mg (0.15 mmol ) of tert-butylcatechol in 20 ml of toluene. The course of the reaction is monitored by means of IR spectroscopy. 
     The mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature and is concentrated. After separation by column chromatography on silica gel using petroleumether/ethyl acetate (6:1) as the mobile phase, 4 g (30% of theory) of tert-butyl (4-methyl-6-carbomethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-carbamate of melting point 89°-91° C. are obtained. 
     Example A 
     Phytophthora test (tomato)/protective 
     Solvent: 4.7 parts by weight of acetone 
     Emulsifier: 0.3 parts by weight of alkyl-aryl poly-glycol ether 
     To prepare a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration. 
     To test for protective activity, young plants are sprayed with the preparation of active compound until dripping wet. After the spray coating has dried on, the plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Phytophthora infestans. 
     The plants are placed in an incubation cabin at 100% relative atmospheric humidity at about 20° C. 
     The evaluation takes place 3 days after inoculation. 
     At an active compound concentration of 10 ppm, the degree of effectiveness of compounds 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 is higher than 90%. 
     Example B 
     Pythium sp. test (peas)/seed treatment 
     The active compounds are applied in the form of agents for dry seed-dressing. They are prepared by extending the active compound in question with ground minerals to give a finely pulverulent mixture which guarantees even distribution on the seed surface. 
     For the seed dressing, the seeds together with the seed-dressing agent are shaken for 3 minutes in a sealed glass flask. 
     Seeds are sown at the rate of 2×50 grains in a depth of 2 cm in a naturally Pythium sp.-infected compost soil and grown in a greenhouse at a temperature of about 20° C. in seed boxes which are exposed to the light for 15 hours per day. 
     The test is evaluated after 14 days. 
     At a dosage rate of active compound of 250 mg/kg seed, compound 3 shows an outstanding action.
