There have been hexeto~oxe proposed a ~ide variety of diphenyl ether derivatives as agricultural herbicides and a considerable number of them has b~ien on the market for practi-cal use: for example, such herbici.des as "NIP" (active ingre-dient: 2',4'-dichloro-4-nitrodiphenyl ether), "CNP" (active ingredient: 2',4', 6'-trichloro-4-notrodiphenyl ether) and "TOPE" (active ingredient:

f ~
.
- lh -
3~-methyl-4-nitrodiphenyl ether) may be mentioned. These previously know diphenyl ether type herbicides can generally show a superior herbicidal effect in soll -treatment agalnst annuaI
weed~ o~ the family Gramineae devèloped in a paddy field, but they have a common characteristic of having an inferior herbicidal effect against variou3 weeds in foliar treatment or annual broad-leaved weeds and perennial weeds. Further, it can be frequently seen in those derivatives of such a type that it ma~ unexpectedly be different, upon differences in their chemical structures such as those in the sort, number or position of substituents, whether . a herbicidal e~fect may be exerted, how high a herbicidal effect may be? how rapidly a herbicidal..effect may be developed or how a phytox-icity may be to crop~ and so on.
: ~he present inventors have made earne~t studie~ to find out new diphenyl ether derivatives having a commercial usefulness and, as a result, they have successfully synthesized a new group of the diphenyl ether.derivatives of the above formula (I) and also found such new diphenyl ether derivatives (I) can show a remarkable herbicidal effect against various weed~, without any 20 phytotoxycity to crops and toxicity to human beings and domestic animals as well as fish and shellfi~hes and do not have any other harm~ul properties such as a naty smell and the like, This in-vention has been, therefore, completed upon these findings.
~ he diphenyl ether derivatives (I) of this invention can show a superior weed-killing activity by pre- and post-emergence treatment in soil; in other words, they have both soil treating activities and foliar treating activities. ~hen,-they are effective aga:inst various weeds such as annual or perennial weeds of the fami:Ly Gramineae growing in a paddy or upland field, broad-leaved weed~3 and the like.
Accordingly, the herbicidal diphenyl ether derivatives (I) of this invention can be e~fectively applied to a paddy field . ~ .

: as a pre-emergent herbicide before or after rice planting or a post-emergent herbicide against perennial weeds or broad-leaved weeds after 1 - 2 weeks from rice planting, and, further, they can be effectively employed as a soil treatment herbicide before or after sow.ing in an upland field or as a foliar treatment herbi-cide against variou~ weeds in an orchard, a tea garden, a mulber-ry field or a non-crop land. In addition, the diphenyl ether derivativee (I) of this invention has a particular oharacteri3tic that they can exert an extremely hlgh herbicidal activity against weedg of the family Caryophyllaceae which those previou~ly known . diphenyl ether type derivative~ could not contro.L.
It i~, accordingly, primary object of thi~ invention to ......... provide new diphenyl ether derivatives of the above.formula (I) which show an excellent herbicidal effect. Another object of this invention i9 to provide a process for preparing the above-mention-ed diphenyl ether derivatives.
A further object of this invention i~ to provide a her-bicidal composition ~hich comprises a~ an active ingredient a-t lea~t one of the diphenyl ether derivatives (I).
According to one aspect of this invention, there is provided a group of new diphenyl~ether derivatives of the above formula`(I). Representative examples of the diphenyl ether deri-vatives (I) are given in the following Table 1 for illustrating . purpose only.
~ A~ explained above, alkali metal salt~ of the diphen~l `~ ether derivatives (I) also fall within the scope of this invention and, as illustrat:ive examples, sodium ~alt of 2',4',6'-trichloro-3-methoxycarbonylaminosulfonyl-4-notro-diphenyl ether and sodium salt of 2',4~-dichloro-3-methoxycarbonylaminosulfonyl-4-nitrodi-phenyl ether are given in ~able 1, designated as Compound ~o. 25 and No. 36, respectively.

~ ' Among the diphenyl ether derivatives according to this - invention, compounds repre~ented by formula (I) wherein Xn repre-sents a 2~4-dichloro-, 2,496-trichloro-, 2,4-dichloro-6-fluoro-, 2-chloro-4-bromo- or 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-~ubstituent, are preferable in ~iew o~ the herbicidal e~ect upon perennial weeds, particularly upon "Mizugayatsuri (cyper s serotinus Rottb.~, the price for production and the phytotoxicity.
~` As particularly preferable compounds may be mentioned 2',4'-dichloro-3-methoxycarbonylaminosulfonyl~4-nitro-diphenyl ether (Compound No. 9), . 2',4',6'-trichloro-3-methoxycarbonylamino~ulfony:L-4-nitrodiphenyl ether (Compound No 23), 2',4'-dichloro-6-fluoro-3-methoxycarbonylaminosulfonyl-4-nitrodi-phenyl ether ~Compound No, 38), .

`~ Xn C ~ 2 + ~ OH
YSCH2~

Xn ~ 2 HC b A~q the solvant ma~ preferably be employed an aqueous acetic acid. ~he aqueous acetic acid to be used contains 5-- 50 wt.%, preferably 10 - 15 wt.~ of water. The reaction time may be more than l hours, preferably 3 - 6 hours. ~he reaction temperature may preferably be in the range of 10 - 15a. At a hig-ger temperature, substitution on the nucleu~q tends to occur. ~he thus produced compound may be recovered from the reaction medium by ordinary procedures.~
In the second step, the product in the firqt step is reacted easily with an excess amount of ammonia. As the solvent for the reaction may be used ~n organic solvent, e.g.~ an aromatic solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. ~nd an e~ter such as ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, etc. ~he desired product can - also be obtained in high yield without any solvent by adding the starting ~ulfonyl chloride to a 5 - 28% a~ueous ammonia ~he reaction temperature may preferably be maintained at 10 - 30C with cooling, since the reaction is exothermic.

. . ' ' .

In the third step, the desired compound of this invention can be obtained by adding an acid chloride to a solution of the starting sulfonamide compound in an organic solvent or an alkaline water in the presence of a base. Whe~ the acid chloride - is ~mstable against water or has ;poor reactivity, the reaction may pre~erably be conducted by using an organic solvent and by heating the reaction system.
While any organic solveIlt can be usea for the purpose if it does not react with the acid chloride, there may preferably be mentioned a~ a solvent acetone, dimethylsulfoxide, dime thylformamide, dimethylacetamide, etc.
In particular, acetone may most advantageousl~ be employed for the purpose.
As the base, potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide ~- may preferably be employed when the reaction is carried out in an aqueous medium. These hydroxides may advantageously be employ-ed as a 1 - 5 wt.% a~ueou~ olutionO When the reaction is carried out in an organic medium, potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate may advantageously be used. ~he reaction is carried out at 10 -20C in an alkaline aqueou~ medium and at a temperature between room temperature and 150C in an organic medium. While the reac-tion period depends on the kind of the reagent to be used9 it i8 in the range of about 1 - 10 hours.
The desired product can easily be recovered by an ordi-nary method.
~ he above-depicted reaction steps will be more fully illustrated by the following examples.
