N-AMINOMETHYL-3-PHENYL-4-CYANOPYRROLE DERIVATIVE, MANUFACTURE AND MICROBICIDAL

The invention relates to novel N-aminomethyl-3-phenyl-4-cyanopyrrole derivatives of the formula I (I) wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, methoxy or methylthio, Z is a group (a) (b) (c) wherein R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C6alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by cyano, C1-C6alkoxy or C1-C6alkoxycarbonyl; or are C3-C6alkenyl, C3-C6alkynyl, C3-C7cycloalkyl, benzyl or benzyl which is substituted by halogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkyl and/or C1-C6alkoxy, or phenyl or phenyl which is substituted by halogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkyl and/or C1-C6alkoxy, with the proviso that only one of R3 or R4 can be hydrogen, R5 and R6 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxycarbonyl, or both taken together form a fused aromatic ring, n is 4 or 5, X is oxygen, sulfur, >C=O or >N-R, R7 and R8 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C6alkyl or C1-C6alkoxycarbonyl, and R9 is hydrogen, C1-C6alkyl, formyl, C1-C6alkanoyl or C1-C6alkoxycarbonyl. The invention further relates to the preparation of the compounds of formula I and to microbicidal compositions which contain at least one of said compounds. Also disclosed is a method of controlling phytopathogenic micro-organisms, which comprises the use of the novel compounds or compositions.
