Description

s~ :
The present invention ~elates to new 4-benzofuranyl esters, the preparation of these compounds, their use as herbicides, and herbicides containing these compounds as active ingredients.
It is known (German Laid-Open Application DOS 1,926,139) to use 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dime-thyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yl methanesulfonate as a herbicide; however, its action is poor.
We have now found that benzofuran-5-yl esters of the formula \ " 3 oR3 where Rl denotes hydrogen, unsubstituted or chloro- or loweralkoxy-substituted loweralkyl, loweralkenyl or loweralkynyl, R denotes loweralkyl, loweralkenyl, loweralkynyl, a metal atom, loweralkyl-sulfonyl or acyl of the formula 11 , O
R4 denoting unsubstituted or chloro-, loweralkoxy- or loweralkyl-thio-substituted loweralkyl, loweralkenyl or loweralkynyl, .
loweralkylamino, di-loweralkylamino, or unsubstituted or chloro-substituted loweralkoxy, and R3 denotes hydrogen, unsubstituted or chloro- or loweralkoxy-substituted loweralkyl, loweralkenyl or loweralkynyl, or acyl of the formula O
R5 denoting unsubstituted or chloro-, loweralkoxy, or loweralkyl-. 30 thio-substituted loweralkyl, loweralkenyl or loweralkynyl, ~.
loweralkylamino, di-loweralkylamino, or unsubstituted or chloro-.` substituted loweralkoxy, have a herbicidal action which is superior .
to that of prior art herbicides. Furthermore, the new compounds - 1 - ' .`,'.' ' , ~. .

9'~39 have better selectivity in crop.s such as Gossypium hirsutum, Zea mays and seta spp. than 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzo-furan-5-yl methanesulfonate.

t The compounds of the invention may be prepared for instance by the following methods:
