The reac-tion is carried out by reacting the pyrazole with an a-halo carboxylic acid ester in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride, sodium alkoxide, potassium carbonate and the like, to give a pyrazole-1-acetic acid ester. The reaction can be carried out in absence of added solvent or in a sol-vent such as ether, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, alcohol and the like. The ester is then hydro1yzed to the corresponding pyrazole-1-acetic acid. The acid is converted to the amide via an acid chloride using conventional techniques. The product is separated by crystallization, chromatography or ~ other suitable means known in the art. This process is ; illustrated in examples 68-93.
in a related procedure, the ester products initially formed in Processes B and C may be directly converted to the amide by reaction with the appropriate amine in a sealed reaction vessel at temperatures of ~0 to 200 C.

A homogeneous disperslble carrier comprehends a par~
culate solid carrier or a liquid carrier diluent. rhe compound can be dispersed in a liquid carrier diluent as a ; so1ute or as finely divided particles (suspension).
The term "dispersible", as used in this specification ` and in the claims, means matter in a liquid or particulate ; 15 state such that it can be evenly distributed over a given area or metered into a body of water. A "liquid" state includes true solutions as well as dispersions of particu-late solids in a liquid. Emulsions of one liquid in another, e.g.~ oil-in-water, are also contemplated. The active com^
pound can be in either the dispersed phase, the continuous phase, or partitioned between them both. In general, tne active compound will be preponderantly in the dispersed phase when emulsions are used. A "particulate" state includes the general concept of finely divided separate particles, and granular particles as large as 10 mesh (U.S.) or even somewhat lar~er when appropriate herbicidal prac-tice indicates an advantage in using larger granules.
- The granular particles could be included in what is termed an "interstitial" state, which contemplates the depos;tion sr entrapment o~ the active compaund within ~he . .

The latter elastomeric matrices as well as'c~nventional granules pro-vide a slow, sustained release of the active herbicide so that herbicidal concentrations of the active compound can be obtained over a prolonged interval ~or the contro1 oF
weeds.
Illustrative of the adjuvants named above, humec~-ants include glycerol, diethylene glycol, solubilized lignins (such as calcium ligninsul~onate), and the like. Disper-sants include bentonite, sodium, ammonium, calcium or 15 aluminum ligninsulfonate, condensed naphthalene sulfonate ~ and the like. Adhesive or sticking agents include vege~able j oils, naturally occurring gums, casein, and the like. A

It will be understood, of cour~e, that the sulfate and sulfonate surfactants suggested above will preferably be used in the form of their soluble salts, for example, their sodium salts. All of these surfactants are capable of reducing the surface tension of water to less than about 40 dynes per centimeter in concentrations of about 1~ or less. The dispersible powder formulations can be prepared with a mixture of surfactants of the types indicated if desired.
The concentration of the active compound of the Formula I according to this invention, in the new herbicidal formu- ;
lations of this invention is not usually a critical, limit-ing factor in achieving a desired herbicidal effect. The most important factor is how much compound is applied to an area of weeds to be controlled. It is readily apparent that one can apply a large amount of a formulation having ~ low concentration of active compound or a relatively small amount of a formulation having a high concentration. Whether - a low or high concentration should be used depends upon the mode of application, the amount and kinds of vegetation, and the thoroughness of coverage desired. The total amount to be applied depends upon the kinds of weeds and crop, if - _ :

Representative homogeneous dispersible formulations according to tnis invention include sprays, dusts, and granular formulations. Spray formulations are preferred for foliar applications and for uniformly controlled appli-~tions to a soil. Granular formulations are usually applied i~ bands spanning the seeded row, a1though broadcast distribution is advantageous when soil incorporation is practiced and a prolonged effect is desired.
The spray formulations in accordance with the invention can be aqueous solutions, aqueous suspensions, water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions , and oil solutions. The spray formulations will conveniently comprise from about 0.1% or lower to about 50% by weight or even higher, a vol~me of spray being applied so that a herbicidally effec-tive amount of compound of Formula I is distributed over the treated area. Sprays containing about 0.25 ounce to about 16 lbs. of compound of Formula I in a 20 gal. to 40 2Q gal. volume are applied to foliage or soil for effective herbicidal action.
Concentrates for preparing spray formulations are advantageously prepared by dissolving the active compounds of the invention in a solvent, or by dispersing the active 25 compounds in aidispersible solid or liquid carrier diluent.
IllustrativelyJ the herbicidally active compound of Formula I of this invention is dissolved or dispersed in water or a suitable water-miscible or water-immiscible inert organic liquid. Representative water-miscible organic liquids include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, :3229 l~S3Z31 alcohols, monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol, ethyl acetate, and the like. Representative substan~ially water-immiscible organic liquids (i.e., a so1vent carrier which is soluble in water to the extent of less that 2.5~ by volume at tem-pera~ures of the order of 20 to 30 C.~ for preparingemulsifiabTe concentrates include petroleum oils, distil-lates, toluene, xylene, cumene, and like aromatic hydro-carbons, isoparaffin oil, mineral oil, and the like.
Advantageously, the concentration of active ingredient in the emulsifiable concentrates (~ith or without surfac-tant) can range from about 5~ to about 90%by weight, preferably from about 10~to about 40%. A concentrate comprising 20% (by weight) of the compound dissolved in a water-immiscible solvent of the kind noted above can be ~5 admixed with an aqueous medium in the proportions of 1~ ml.
of concentrate with 1 gal. of medium to give a mixture containing 700 parts of active ingredient per million parts of liguid carrier. Similarly, 1 qt. of a 20~ concentrate mixed with 40 gals. of water provides about 1200 ppm (parts per million) of active ingredient. In the same mannær, more concentrated solutions of active ingredient can be prepared.
Dùst formulations in accordance with the invention are readily prepared by dispersing the active compound in a dispersible solid by grinding a mixture of the compound and a pulverulent solid carrier in the presence of each other.
Grinding is conveniently accomplished in a ball mill, a hammermill, or by air-blast micronization. These dust compositions can also be prepared by dissolving the compound ~0 of Formula I in a volatile solvent such as methylene chlo-. . - , . .

ride, mixing the solution with a pulverulent solid carrier, evaporating the solvent, and pulverizing the impregnated carrier. A suitable ultimate particle size is less than 60 microns. Preferabl YJ 95% of the particles are less than 50 microns, and about 75~ are 5 to 20 microns. Dusts of this degree of comminution are conveniently free-flowing.
Representative suitable pulverulent solid carriers include the natural clays such as China, Georgia, Barden, Attapulgus, kaolin, and Montmorillonite clays; minerals in their natural forms as they are obtained from the earth such as talc, pyrophyllite, quartz, diatomaceous earth, fuller's earth, chalk, rock phosphates and sulfates, calcium carbonates, sulfur, silica and silicates; chemically modi-fied minerals such as washed bentonite, precipitated calcium phosphate, precipitated calcium carbonate, precipitated calcium silicate, synthetic magnesium silicate, and colloidal silica; and organic flours such as wood, walnut shell, soy-bean, cottonseed~ and tobacco flours, and free-flowing hydrophobic starches.
The proportions of pulverulent carrier and compound of Formu'a I can vary over a wide range depending upon the plants to be controlled, rates of application according to ; equ7pment available, and the conditions of treatment. In general, dust formulations can contain up to about 90% (on a weight basis) of the active ingredient. 3usts having as little as 0.001~ of the active ingredient can be used, but a generally preferred proportion is from about 0.50% to about 20% of active ingredient.
Advantageously, a dust formulation as described above ~0 includes a surfactant, because about 0.1~ to about 12~ of a 322~) ~ (~53Z3~
surfactant prol--otes dispersibility of a dust in w~ter and facilitates formulation of aqueous sprays or di~persibility of a dust l~orrnulation appl ied di rectl y to water surfaces or a~uatic weeds. Dust formu1atior~s cornprising a surfactant 5 are known as dispersible or wett:able powders. As indicated, dispersible or wettable powders can be admixed wi th water to obtain any desired concentration up to about 50,~ w/v of active ingredient. The dispersible or wettable powders can conveniently comprise frorn about: 10,~ to about 90,~ active 10 i ngredient, preferabl y about ~iO% to about 80%.
A suitable dispersible powder formulation is obtained by blending and milling 327 lbs. of Georgia Clay, 4.5 lbs.
olF calcium alkyl aryl benzene çulfonate (NeKal BA77) as a wetting agent, 9 lbs~ of a polymerized sodium salt of sub-15 stituted benzoid long-chain sulfonic acid (Daxad 27) as a d i spers i ng agent, and 113 1 bs . of the act i ve i ngred i ent .

This formulationJ when dispersed in water a~ the rate of 10 lbs. per 100 gals., gives a spray formulation contain Ing about 0.~% (~000 ppm) active ingredient which can be 30 appl ied to weeds at the rate of 40 gal s. per acre to give a '; .

~053;~31 total application of act;ve ingredient of 1 lb. per acre Fur~her in accordance wi th this invention, formulations of the compounds of the Formula I with oil are particularly efficacious, and herbicidal action of the conpound is im-proved. Any petroleum oil can be used s~ long as it is nots~ viscous as to be too difficult ~o disperse. A non-phytotoxic oil is satisfactory.
Advantageously, a 50% wettable powder of the herbicidal active ingredient is mixed with about 38 gals. water and 2 gals. oil for spray application.
The following examples are illustrative of the process and products of the present invention but are not to be construed as limiting.
