Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for identifying compounds that specifically inhibit a metabolic target site or pathway in plants. Enzymes which are specifically affected by the method of the invention include plant pyramidine biosynthetic pathway enzymes, and particularly the enzymes involved in the conversion of orotate to uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP). Further, the invention relates to a method for control of undesirable monocotyledonous and dicotyledenous plant species.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Preparation of an unsymmetrical 4,6-bis(aryloxy)pyrimidine derivatives of formula (I) is new. The process comprises reacting a 4-halo-6-(aryloxy)pyrimidine compound of formula (II) with >=1 molar equivalent of a 1-4C trialkylamine, a 5-14 membered unsaturated heterocyclic amine optionally substituted to 1-3 1-4C alkyl, or 1-4C alkoxy groups in the presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon and/or a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, to form an ammonium halide of formula (III), and reacting the ammonium halide with >=1 phenyl compound of formula (IV) and a base. R1, R8 = H or halo; R1, R7 = H halo, CN, NO2 alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkoxyalkyl or alkoxycarbonyl; R2, R6 = H, halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkoxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, haloalkoxycarbonyl, haloalkylsulphinyl, haloalkylsulphonyl, nitro, or cyano; R3, R5 = H, halo, alkyl or alkoxy; and R4 = H, cyano, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, or phenyl; provided that >= 1 of R2 and R6 is not H, and that the aryloxy groups are different. Q = R10N(R9)(R11) or substituted heteroaryl groups of formulae (a)-(g). R9, R10, R11 = 1-4C alkyl, or R910 = 5-6 membered ring with 3-5 O, S or NR-14 atoms; R11 = 1-4C alkyl; Z = O, S or NR14; R12, R13 = H, 1-4C alkyl, 1-4C alkoxy; or R12, R13 = 5-6 membered saturated or unsaturated ring optionally interrupted with O, S, or NR14, and optionally substituted with 1-3 1-4C alkyl or 1-4C alkoxy groups; and R14 = 1-4C alkyl.
