ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Herbicidally active chloracetanilides of the formula I

Description

~ 0~ 6 ~ ~
The present invention is concerned with new herbicidally active chloracetanilides, w~th a process for the manufacture of these compounds and also with their use~
Halogeno-acetanilide derivatives having a herbicidal action are already known (see United States Patent Specification No. 3,547,620). Howevert they have only a narrow range of action and their action is strongly dependent on the soil.
The prohlem upon which the present invention is based has therefore been to develop a herbicide, which has a wide range of action and is not dependent on the soil.
This problem ls solved in accordance with the present invention by the compounds of the general formula I, as defined below.
The present invention accordingly provides compounds of the general formula I

oH2oH2 (~2CH2)n~R4 / \ G~H

~0 ~ 2 in which Rl, R2 and R3 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl group, R4 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and n represents 1, 2 or 3.
The meanings of the symbols Rl, R2 and R3 may be the same or different.
The compo~mds of the present invention are distinguished by a broad soil-herbicidal action. They can be used for combating mono- and di-cotyledonous weeds.
Weeds that can be combated by means of these compounds by the pre-emergence method are, for example, ~llium, Solanum, 99~;

Senecio, Matricarla, Galium, Polygonum, Trifolium, Escholtzia, .:
Di~italis, Phacella, Sorghum, Echinochloa, Setaria, Digitaris, Cyperus, Poa, Agrostls, sromus~ Lolium, Phleum, Dactylis and Festuca.
For combating weeds there are generally used applica-tion quantities within the range of from 0.5 kg of active substance per hectare to 5 kg of acti~e substance per hectare.
The aCtiYe compounds of the present invention have thereby also proved to be surprisingly selectively active in crops of useful plants, for example cotton, ground-nut, rape, kale, cauliflower, soya bean, pea-, sugar beet, spinach and lettuce crops. When two or more compounds of the general formula I are used the range of 0.5 to 5 kg per hectare refers of course to the total amount appIied of these compounds.
The active compounds o~ the present invention have a further advantage in that they also exhibit growth-regulating properties.
As the further technically valuable changes in the de~elopment of plants caused by the compounds of the present :~ :
inventlon there may be mentioned, for exam.ple, retardation of ~ :
vertical growth, retardation of root development., stimulation : of the growth of bud shoots or side-shoots from low-lying buds, ..
intensification of the formation of plant colouring matters and improvement in the storage capacity of plant components.
The present invention accordingly also provides a herbicidal preparation which comprises a compound of the general .
formula I, in admixture or con~unction with a suitable carrier.
The preparation may of course contain one or more compounds of the general formula I. ~ .
The present invention further provides a method of protecting a living plant against weeds, wherein the area in the vicinity of the Iiving plant is treated with a compound of the - ~ . : -, . .. .. . .

general formula I.
The present invention further provides a method of protecting a crop area against weeds, wherein the crop area is treated with a compound of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a method of reyulating the growth of a living plant, wherein the liviny plant is treated with a compound of the general formula I.
The present invention further provides a pack which comprises a compound of the yeneral formula I toyether with instructions for its use as a herbicide and/or for regulatiny the yrowth of a living plant.
The compounds of the present invention may be used either alone, or in admixture with one another or with other active substances. If desired, other plant protectiny or pest-combating agents may be added depending on the purpose desired.
If it is lntended to broaden the range of ac-tion other herbicides may also be added. As suitable herbicidally active co-components there may be mentioned, for example, active substances belonging to the groups of triazines, aminotriazoles, anllides, diaziDes, uracils, aliphatic carboxylic acids and halogeno-carboxyllc acids, substituted benzoic acids and aryloxy-carboxylic acids, hydrazides, amides, nitriles, esters of such carboxylic acids, carbamic acid esters and thiocarbamic acid esters, ureas, l,3,6-trichlorobenzyloxy--propanil and thiocyan-ate-containing agents. Among other additives there are to be understood, for example, non-phytotoxic additives, which give a synergistic increase in action with herbicides, for example wetting agents, emulsifiers, solvents and oily additives.
The active compounds of the general formula I or mixtures thereof are advantageously used in the form of herbicidal preparations, for example powders, strewable preparations, ` ~ :

granules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, wi-th the addition Qf liquid and/or solid vehicles or diluents and, if desired, of surface-active agents, for example wetting, adherent, emulsifying and/or dispersing agents.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example, water, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, for example benzene, toluene and xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulphoxide and dimethylformamide, and also mineral oil ~ractions.
As solid carriers there are suitable, for example, mineral earths for example tonsil, sllica gel, talcurn, kaolin, attaclay, limestone and silicic acid, and vegetable products, for example meals.
As surface-active agents there may be mentioned, for example, calcium lignin sulphonate, polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ethers, naphthalene sulphonic acids an~ salts thereof, phenol sulphonic acids and salts thereof, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulphates and also substituted ben~ene sulphonic acids and salts thereof.
The total amount of the active substance or substances in the various herbicidal preparations may vary within wide limits. For example, the preparations may contain approximately 5 to 95~ by weight of active substance(5), approximately 95 to --5~ by weight of li~uid or solid carrier and, if desired, also up to 20% by wei~ht of sur~ace-active agent(s).
The active substances may be applied in the usual manner, for example with water as carrier in quantities of spray liquor of approximately 100 to 1000 litres per hectare. It is also possible to apply the active substances by the so-called low-volume method and ultra-low-volume method and it is also possible to apply them in the form o~ so called microgranules.
As substituents represented by Rl , R2 and R3 in the general formula I there may be mentioned, for example, methyl, .:

ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, _-butyl, sec.-butyl, isobutyl, tert.-butyl, fluoro, chlo.ro, bromo, iodo and trifluoromethyl substituents.
The symbol R4 may represent, for example, a methyl ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec.-butyl, isobutyl, tert.-butyl, n-pentyl or n-hexyl group.
Among the compounds of the present invention that are dist~nguished-by an outstanding action are especially those of the general formula I in which Rl and R2 have identical :
or different meanings and each represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R3 represents a hydrogen atom, R4 represents an alkyl group containing l to 4 carbon atoms and ~
n represents the number 1 or 2. :

After cooling, water and 25 ml of a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide were added and, after dilution with ethyl acetate, the organic phase was separated. It was !
then washed until almost neutral with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and after filtration concentrated in vacuo.
The residue was distilled in vacuo, and N-(3,6-dioxa-heptyl)-2,6-dimethylaniline having a boiling interval of 119 -131~C (0.~ Torr) was obtained.
Yie~d: 32.44 gms = 58.1% of the theoretical yield.
Into a solution of 11.15 gms (0.05 mole) of N-(3,6-dioxaheptyl)-2,6-dimethylàniline in 50 ml of ethyl acetate were introduced 13.82 gms (0.1 mole~ of anhydrous potassium carbonate. There were introduced into the stirred suspension dropwise at 25 - 30C whi~e cooling with ice 11.29 gms (0.1 mole) -of chloracetyl chlorlde, and the whole was further stirred for one hour. The mixture was left to stand for a few hours at room temperature. Water was then added and the mixture was extracted by agitatlon several times with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate phases were dried over magnesium sulphate and, after filtration, concentrated in vacuo.
After drying at room temperature under a high vacuum an almost colourless oil was obtained.
Yield: 12.23 gms (= 81.6~ of the theoretical yield) of chloracetic acid ~N-(3,6-dioxaheptyl)-2/6-dimethyl-anilide].
