Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A class of novel 3-phenyl-4(1H)-pyridones and pyridinethiones which are broad-spectrum herbicides are described herein. The new compounds are characterized by a small substituent on the nitrogen, and usually bear a 5-substituent chosen from a class described herein. The phenyl ring may be substituted. The compounds are effective herbicides when applied both before and after the emergence of weeds, and are particularly useful for the control of weeds in cotton or rice cropland.

Description

10756~3~

This invention belongs to the field of agricul-tural chemistry, and provides to the art new preemergence and postemergence' herbicides, and compositions and methods of applying the compounds for the contro:L of weeds. Since the control of weeds is known to be a vital step in the maximization of crop yields, herbicides are now established as vital tools of the farmer and new and improved herbicidal compounds are in constant demand.
Despite the great amount of research which has been performed in the field of agricultural chemistry, active compounds closely related to the compoun~s of formula I herein have not been previously discovered. The poly- ~`
halopyridones, which have two or more chlorine atoms as well as other alkyl and halo substituents on the pyridine ring, are known herbicides, but are obviously quite distinct from the compounds of formula I.
The organic chemical art has explored the pyri-dones rather extensively. For examplei Ishibe et al~, J.
Am. Chem. Soc. 95, 3396-3397 (1973), disclosed a rearrange-20 ment of 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,6-trimethyl-4(1~)-pyridone. Such compounds, however, are not herbicides. Leonard et al., J.
Am. Chem. Soc. 77~ 1852-1855 (1955) ~ taught the synthesis of 3,5-dibenzyl-1-methyl-4(lH)-pyridones, which compounds also ` `~
have no herbicidal~activity. The same principal author also ~ .
disclosed 3,5-di(substituted-benzylidene)tetrahydro-4-pyridones, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 79, 156-160 (1957)o These compounds also have no herbicidal activity.

Light et al., J. Org. Chem. 25, 538-54~ ~1960), taught a number of 4-pyridone compounds including 2,6-diphenyl-l-methyl-4(lH)-pyridone, and related compounds bearing phenyl-ring substituents, none of which are her-bicidally active.
An interesting recent ar~icle was published by El-Kholy et al. in J. Hetero. Chem. 10, 665-667~(published September 7, 1973). El-Kholy described a synthesis of 3,5-diphenyl-l-methyl-4(lH)-pyridone and related compounds by ~ -the reaction with methylamine of the sodium salt of 1,5-dihydroxy-2,4-diphenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-one.
A series of novel 3-phenyl-4(1H)-pyridones(thiones) are herbicides which are active against an unusually wide range of weeds are disclosed in copending Canadian Application Serial No. 233,945, filed August 22, 1975.
New methods and compositions for applying the compounds for the control of weeds, which methods are particularly useful in cotton or rice cropland, are also disclosed.

- Aminoformyla-tions are usually carried out wi-thout solvent, at elevated temperatures from about 50C. to abou-t 200C. Solvents such as dimethylformamide are sometimes used, however, particularly when it is desirable -to raise the boiling point of the reaction mixture.
When aminoformylating with formiminium halides, however, aprotic solvents, such as described above in the description of solvents for formylation, are used at tem-peratures from about 0C. to about 50C., preferably at room temperature. Halogenated solvents such as chloroform and methylené chloride can also be used in such aminoformyla- `
tions if desired.
The exchange reactions with YNH2 are best per-formed in protic solven-ts of which alkanols are preferred and ethanol is most appropriate. Temperatures Erom about -20C. to about 100C. can be used for the exchange re-actions. Room temperature is satisfactory and is preferred.

In general, intermediate compounds in the syn-thesis are not purified, but are simply used in successive steps after separation by extraction, neutralization or removal of excess solvent or reactant as appropriate.
The enamine acylation reactions, A-C, are per-formed in the presence of bases such as tertiary amlnes, alkali metal oarbonates, magnesium oxide and the like, and in aprotic solvents as described above.
In some instances, as organic chemists will understand, it is necessary to apply additional synthetic steps after the pyridone compound has been formed. For example, it is convenient to form compounds having alkoxy and like Rl and R5 substituents by first making the corre-sponding hydroxy-substituted compound, and then suhstituting -on the oxygen atom.

756~7 In another test, NATO rice and barnyard grass were seeded in large metal pots, and pyridone compounds were applied, according to three different methods. In all of th~ test methods, the compounds were formulated as 50 per-cent wettable powders.
A. The test compounds named below were incor-porated into the top 8 cm. of soil in the pots according to the application rates named in the table below. The rice ~
and b~rnyard grass seed were then planted 1.8-2.5 cm. deep. ~`
The~pots were watered daily until the rice plants were 5-8 cm. tall, and then 5-8 cm. of flood water was added to the pots and maintained throughout the test.
B. The pots were filled with soil, and barnyard grass seeds were planted as above. From 5 to 8 cm. of flood water was added to the pots, and rice seedlings were trans~
planted in;to the pots. The test compounds were sprayed over the water three days after the rice plants were transplanted.
C. The test compounds were incorporated into the ~-~top 8 cm. of soil, and ~arnyard grass seeds were planted 20 ~ 1.8-2.5 Gm. deep. From S to 8 cm. of flood water was then added to the pots, and rice seedlings were transplanted into the pots 5 days after treatment.
About 3 weeks after the tests were established, injury to the rice and control of the barnyard grass were measured on an~0-l~ scale where O indicates normal plants and 10 indicatea comp}ete kill. The results are shown in the table below.~

~(~7569'7 Field tests against representative aquatic weeds were carried out in artificial ponds about 1 meter in diameter and 1/2 meter deep. The ponds contained a layer of earth at the bottom, and were filled with water. Represen~
tative aquatic weeds were planted in the ponds, and com-pounds of this invention were added at application rates named in the table below. The application rates were calculated as parts per million by weight of the total amount of water in each pond. Three weeks, 7 weeks and 12 weeks after the ponds were treated with the test compounds, the percent weed control of eàch species was measured, and -the control is reported in the table below as a mean of the three evaluations of each weed.

The outstanding broad-spectrum activity of the compounds of Formula I is clearly illustrated by the above examples. The examples point up the efficacy of the compounds against annual grasses, the relatively easily-controlled broadleaves such as pigweed, and the more dif-ficult to kill broadleaves such as the nightshades, ragweed `~
and sicklepod. Further, the compounds control such peren-nial weeds as johnsongrass, quackgrass, bindweed, bermuda-grass and nutsedge, which are very difficult to control.
The compounds also control algae and aquatic weeds, such as - soontail, hydrilla and the like. Still further, the com-pounds kill such woody plants as mec;quite, which is an economicaily harmful weed in arid climates. Thus, plant scientists will recognize that the compounds can be used to control undesirable woody plants where such plants are not wanted. Plant scientists will recognize that the exempli-fied activity of the compounds shows that the compounds are effective against all types of weeds.
A preferred embodiment of the herbicidal method, however, is the use of the method to selectively kill herbaceous weeds.
Most unusually, the compounds are herbicidally effective when applied both preemergence and postemergence.
Thus, they can be applied to the soil to kill weeds by soil contact when the weed seeds are germinating and emerging, and can also be used to kill emerged weeds by direct contact with the exposed portions of the weedu When the compounds are~applied preemergence, the weeds are~killed either during germination or shortly after emergence.

The compounds are effectively brought in-to contact with aquatic weeds by either suspending or dissolving the compound in the water in which the weeds grow, or by applying the compound to the sub-aqueous soil in which -the weeds are rooted.
Because of the outstanding efficacy of the com-pounds, a method of using the compounds for killing weeds is an important embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a method of selectively killin~ weeds which comprises contacting the weeds with an herbicidally-effective amount of one of the compounds described above.
In the context~of this invention, weed seeds, which are con-tacted wlth the compounds through preemergence applications o~ the compounds, are regarded as weeds.
Preemergence applications of the compounds are effective, as the examples show, whether the compounds are applied to the surface of the soil or are incorporated in , the soil.
As the examples above illustrate, many of the compounds are acceptably safe to~a number of crops, such as peanuts, soybean, sorghum, wheat and tree crops when applied at~proper rates and at appropriate times. It will be noted that the compoùnds are particularly and notably harmless to :
cotton. Because of the safety with which this crop may be treated with the compounds, the use of the method to kill weeds in ootton cropIand is a preferred embodiment of the ~ -invention. ~

, ~.;; ' ~.~t75697 Observation of the data above shows that the compounds are also notably safe to rice. Accordingly, use of the method to kill weeds in rice cropland, and particularly in rice cropland in flooded transplant culture, is a pre-ferred embodiment of the invention.
The compounds can also be used, at appropriate application rates, for the total control of vegetation.
Such control is often desired, as for keeping cropland fallow for a time, or on industrial property and rights-of-way~ The compounds' ability to control perennial weeds and woody plants makes them particularly valuable total - vegetation control agents.
The method is notable for its ability selectively to kill weeds. The term weeds is not used here in a re-strictive sènse, but is used to refer broadly to undesired and undesirable plants. For example3 the method may be used in cotton cropland to kill not only plants which are un-desirable per se, such as johnsongrass and ragweed, but also volunteer crop plants which are undesirable in a cotton field. It wlll be understood that the proper application rates must be used to achieve selective control of weeds, as plant scientists are well aware.

me proportion of the weed population which is killed by an application of one of the compounds depends upon the species of the weed and the identity and amount of the compound appIied. In many instances, of course, the . ~
~hole population is killed. In other instances, part of the ~ `

X-4097K -~a- ~ ~

'~ :

~7St~7 weeds are killed and part are lnjured, as some of the examples above illustrate. It will be understood that an application of one of the compounds is effective and bene-ficial, even though only part of the weed population is killed and another part of the population is injured. The - mere injury of a weed iB beneficial, because the surrounding crop, growing normally, shades out ~he slow-growing injured weed.
The be~t application rate of a given compound of the invention for the control of a given weed varies, of course, depending upon the method of compound application, cllmaté, sotl type, water and organic matker contents of the soil and other factors known to those ski~led in plant aience. It will be found, however, that the optimum application rate is in the range ~f from about 0.1 to about 20 kg./ha. in virtually every case. The optimum rates will u~ually be found to be within the preferred range of from about 0.1 to abo~t 5 kg./ha. Another preferred range, for .. . .
flooded~transplant rice cropland, is from about 0.025 to abo~t 2 kg./ha.

The time when the compounds should be applied to the soil or th~ weedg is widely variable, since the com-.
~pounds axe efective both preemergence and postemergence.

At least some control of weeds will result from application ~of~the c~mpounds at any ~time when weeds are growing or ge~-inating. They ma~ also be applied to the soil during a . .
dormant ~season to kill weeds germinatlng during the fol-low m g warm sea~son.

~L~756~7 The compounds' efficacy against aquatic weeds is analogous to the efficacy against terrestrial weeds. The compounds are effective at the same rates of application described above in the general descripti.on oE the herbicidal method. Accordingly, the herbicidal met:hod of this inven-tion is effective against aquatic weeds, and is carried out in killing aquatic weeds in the same manner that it is used to kill weeds in general. :
When the compounds are used for weed control in an annual crop, it is usually best to apply a preemergence application of the compound to the soil at the time the crop is being~planted. If the compound is to be soil incorporated, it will usually be applied and incorporated immediately before planting. If it is to be surface applied, it is usually simplest to apply the compound immediately after ~
planting.
The compounds are applied to the soil or to.:: :
emerged weeds in the manners usual in agriculture. They may be applied to the soil in the form of.either water-dispersed :.
or granular formulations, the preparation of which will be discussed below. Usually, water-dispersed formulations will be used for the application of the compounds to emerged weeds. The formulAtions are applied with.any of the many :
types of sprayers and granular appl.icators which are in wide :
. use for the dlstribution of agricultural chemicals over soil : :

The compounds are normally used in the practice of the method of this invention in the form of the herbicidal compositions which are an important embodiment of the in-vention. An herbicidal composition of this invention com-prises a compound of the invention and an inert carrier. In general, the compositions are formulated in the manners usual in agricultural chemistry, and are novel only because of the vital presence of the novel herbicidal compound.
Very often, the compounds are formulated as con-centrated compositions which are applied either to the soil or the foliage in the form of water dispersions or emulsions containing in the range of from about 0.1 percent to about 5 :
percent of the compound. Water-dispersible or emulsifiable compositions are either solids usually known as wettable powders, or liquids usually k~own as emulsifiable concen-: . .
trates. Wettable powders comprise an intimate, finely-divided mixture of the compound, an inert carrier and sur-: 2a factants. The concentration of the compound is usually from about 10 percent to about 90 percent. The inert carrier is usually chosen from among the attapulgite clays, the kaolin clays, the montmorillonite clays, the diatomaceous earths or ~-~
~;~ the purified silicates. Effective surfactants, comprising ~;
rom about 0.5 percent to about 10 percent of the wettable powder, are found among the sulfonated lignins, the con-densed naph~halenèsul~onates, the naphthalenesulfonates, the 3d ::

~75~9~7 alkylbenzenesulfonates, the alkyl sulfates and nonionic sur-factants such as ethylene oxide adducts of phenol.
Typical emulsifiable concentrates of the new com-pounds comprise a convenient concentration of the compound, such as from about 100 to about 500 g. per liter of liquid, dissolved in an inert carrier which is a mixture of water-lmmiscible solvent and emulsifiars. Useful organic solvents include the aromatics, especially the xylenes, and the petroleum fractions, especially the high-boiling naphthalenic and olefinic portions of petroleumO Many other organic solvents may also be used such as the terpenic solvents, and the complex alcohols such as 2-ethoxyethanol. Suitable emul~ifiers for emulsifiable concentrates are chosen from the same types of surfactants used ~or wettable powders.
A special type of emulslfiable concentrate com-position is used to form invert emulsions. Such emulsions have the aqueous phase dispersed in the oil phase, and have been used for some years in the agricultural chemical industry. They are particularly useful in postemergent and aquat1c applications of the compounds, since they adhere very well to foliage, and do not rapidly disperse in water.
Thus, by slmple ad~ustment of the density, an invert emul-sion can be accurately placed at the top or bottom of a body of water. Invert emulsion compositlons usually include an inverting oil, a mixture of solvents and surfactan s specially balanced t~ make invert emulsions when combined with water.

Another special type of composition which can be useful for application to water, as for flooded rice or aquatic weed applications, is one which forms a hydrophobic film. Such a composition, when applied to water, tends to spread itself evenly over the water surface, thereby achieving even application of the herbicide, despite any inaccuracy in applying the composition. Such compositions are usually based on a hydrophobic Iiquid, such as xylene, for example, in whlch the herbicide is dissolved or suspended.
~ When a compound is to be applied to the soil, as for a preemergence application of the compound, it is con-venient to use a granular formulation. Such a formulation , . :.
typically comprises the compound dispersed on a granular inert carrier such as coarsely ground clay. The particle size of granules usually ranges from about 0.1 to about 3 mm. The usual formulation process for granules comprises dissolving the compound in an inexpensive solvent and applying the solution to the carrier in an appropriate solids mixer. Somewhat less economically, the compound may be dispersed in a dough composed of damp clay or other inert ; ~ ~ carrier, which is then dried and coarsely ground to produce the desired granular product. Granules are also particu-larly useful in aquatic weed applications.
It has become customary in agricultural chemistry to apply two or even morè agricultural chemicals simul-taneously in ordsr to control weeds of many different types, or;~weeds;and o her pests, with a single appliaation of chem-icàls. The compounds of this invention lend themselves X-4097K~ b~

` ~75~;97 well to combination with other a~ricultural chemicals and may use~ully be combined with insecticides, fun~icides, nematicides and other herbicides as may be desirable and convenient.
