1,213,654. Fluorinated imidazopyridines. FISONS PEST CONTROL Ltd. 6 May, 1968 [23 May, 1967], No. 23803/67. Heading C2C. [Also in Division A5] The invention comprises compounds of the general formula where one of the groups Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 is a nitrogen atom and the other three groups are CR2, CR3 and CR4 respectively, where -R1 is selected from R5, -C(=A)BR5 and -SO 2 R6, where A is oxygen or sulphur, B is oxygen or sulphur or a single bond, R5 is alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkenyl, substituted alkynyl, cycloaliphatic, substituted cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic, and R6 is alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, substituted alkenyl, substituted alkynyl, substituted aralkyl, cycloaliphatic, substituted cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic, and where R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, substituted alkoxy, aryloxy, substituted aryloxy, nitro, halogen, pseudohalogen, substituted alkyl, carboxy, carboxy ester, carboxy amide, N-substituted or di-substituted carboxy amide, amino, mono-or di-substituted amino, thiol, alkylthiol and oxygenated derivatives thereof, sulphonic acid and esters and amides thereof, substituted sulphonic amides, and a heterocyclic ring attached to the imidazopyridine system through a nitrogen atom, and where X is trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl, and salts and N-oxides thereof. The compounds may be prepared by (i) reacting the corresponding substituted ortho-diaminopyridine or salt thereof, with a trihalogenoacetic acid or pentafluoropropionic acid or functional derivative thereof preferably in a medium of an inorganic acid halide such as phosphorus oxychloride, and if necessary converting the trihalogen derivative to the trifluoro derivative by treatment with a metal fluoride; (ii) (when R1 is the group -COOR5) reacting the corresponding compound wherein R1 is hydrogen with a chloroformate in the presence of a base e.g. triethylamine, or reacting an alkali metal salt of the corresponding imidazopyridine derivative with a chloroformate; or (iii) (when R1 is -SO 2 R6) reacting the corresponding compound where R1 is hydrogen with a sulphonyl halide R6SO 2 D where D is halogen. Examples describe the preparation of 6-chloro-3-cyclohexyloxycarbonyl - 2 - trifluoro - methylimidazo (4,5-b) pyridine and the corresponding 6-nitro, 5-methyl and 5-cyano compounds, 2-trifluoromethyl - 3 - benzyl - 6 - chloroimidazo (4,5-b) pyridine, 3 - allyl - 6 - chloro - 2 - trifluoromethylimidazo (4,5-b) pyridine, 3-propargyl-5- chloro-2-trifluoromethylimidazo (4,5-b) pyridine and 3-cyclohexyl-6-chloro-2-trifluoromethylimidazo (4,5-b) pyridine.
