7-aminozolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and fungicides containing these

Abstract

7-Aminoazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines of the formula <IMAGE> I where R1 is alkyl or aralkyl, R2 and R3 are each hydrogen or alkyl, and A is nitrogen or CR4, where R4 is hydrogen, alkyl or halogen, and fungicides containing these compounds.

We claim: 
     
       1. ##STR12## where R 1  is a .[.C 6  -C 18  -alkyl.]. .Iadd.C 7  -C 18  -alkyl .Iaddend.which is unsubstituted or a C 3  -C 18  alkyl which is mono substituted by a C 1  -C 18  -alkoxy or halogen and R 2  and R 3  are each hydrogen or a C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, and   A is nitrogen or CR 4 , where   R 4  is hydrogen, a C 1  -C 4  alkyl or halogen.   
     
     
       2. A process for combatting fungi, wherein the fungi or the materials, plants, soils or seeds to be protected against fungus attack are treated with a fungicidally effective amount of an aminoazolopyrimidine of the formula ##STR13## where R 1  is a C 4  -C 18  -alkyl which is unsubstituted or mono substituted by a C 1  -C 18  -alkoxy or halogen or is aralkyl where the alkyl is of 1-12 carbons which is unsubstituted or substituted in the aryl moiety by C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, C 1  -C 4  -alkoxy or halogen, R 2  and R 3  are each hydrogen or a C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, and   A is nitrogen or CR 4 , where   R 4  is hydrogen, a C 1  -C 4  -alkyl or halogen.   
     
     
       3. The compound of claim 1 wherein R 1  is n-C 8  H 17 , R 2  is CH 3 , R 3  is CH 3 , R 4  is H and A is CR 4 . 
     
     
       4. The compound of claim 1 wherein R 1  is n-C 8  H 17 , R 2  is CH 3 , R 3  is H and A is N. 
     
     
       5. The compound of claim 1 wherein R 1  is n-C 9  H 19 , R 2  is CH 3 , R 3  is H and A is N. 
     
     
       6. The compound of claim 1 wherein R 1  is n-C 9  H 19 , R 2  is CH 3 , R 3  is CH 3  and A is N. 
     
     
       7. The compound of claim 1 wherein R 1  is an unsubstituted alkyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms.
