FUNGICIDAL CONTROL EMPLOYING ESTER DERIVATIVES OF 4,6-DISUBSTITUTED 2-PYRIDINOLS

摘要

64693-4034 6-Halo(or CF3)-4-((di- or tri-)halomethyl)-2-pyridinyl esters of carboxylic, carbonic, carbamic, thiocarbamic, sulfonic, or sulfamic acids, exemplified by 6-chloro-4-(trichloromethyl)-2-pyridinyl pentanoate, 6-chloro-4-(trichloromethyl)-2-pyrindinyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, and 6-chloro-4-(trichloromethyl)-2-pyridinyl methylcarbamate are prepared from the corresponding 6halo(or CF3)-4-((di- or tri-)halomethyl)-2-pyridinols. The compounds are useful for the protection of plants from fungal organisms that attack plant root systems and are generally applied in the form of a fungicidal composition to the plants or their habitat.
