Abstract:
Method for preparing certain oximes and oxime O-methyl ethers by reacting poorly water-soluble carbonyl compounds with salts of hydroxylamine or hydroxylamine O-methyl ether or the free base of hydroxylamine in the presence of certain phosphoric esters or salts thereof of the formula (I) wherein R1, R2 and X are defined as specified in the description.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel, one-stage method for preparing and isolating 3,4-dichloro-N-(2-cyanophenyl)-5-isothiazolecarboxamide (isotianil), which has microbicidal and plant-fortifying (host defence inducer) properties. In the method according to the invention, the amount of waste from the production process (e.g. solvent) is significantly reduced. The product is provided in high yield and purity (minimal amount of by-products and impurities). Compared to existing preparation methods, the method according to the invention has the advantage of low corrosiveness and high yield and high selectivity.
