Heterocyclyl pyridines as novel fungicides

This application is a national stage application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2021/064680, filed internationally on Jun. 1, 2021, which claims benefit of European Application No.: 20178203.4, filed Jun. 4, 2020.

The present invention relates to heterocyclyl pyridine compounds and the uses thereof for controlling phytopathogenic microorganisms such as phytopathogenic fungi. It also relates to processes and intermediates for preparing these compounds.

Numerous crop protection agents to combat or prevent microorganisms' infestations have been developed until now. However, the need remains for the development of new compounds as such, so as to provide compounds being effective against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic microorganisms, such as fungi, having low toxicity, high selectivity or that can be used at low application rate whilst still allowing effective pest control. It may also be desired to have new compounds to prevent the emergence of resistances.

The present invention provides new compounds for controlling phytopathogenic microorganisms such as fungi which have advantages over known compounds and compositions in at least some of these aspects.

Heterocyclyl-substituted Pyridazines as fungicides are disclosed in WO 2020/127780.
