HERBICIDE COMPOSITIONS
Abstract of the Disclosure Herbicidal active sulfoxide and sulfone compounds and their method of use are described herein. The compounds have the following generic formula:

Description

ll~S12~

Description of the Invention This invention is directed to a novel group of compounds which may be generally described as sulfoxide and sulfone deriva-tives of thiocarbamates which are highly active herbicides. The compounds of the present invention are represented by the generic formula:

¦¦ ,Rl R-S(O) -C-N

wherein n is 1 or 2; R is selected from the group consisting of phenalkyl, alkylphenalkyl, halophenalkyl and haloalkylphenalkyl;
Rl and R2 taken together form a heterocyclic ring structure or lower alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms substituted heterocyclic ring stFucture.

The above-noted compounds can be prepared by reacting an oxidizing agent such as peracetic acid or m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid with a thiocarbamate compound corresponding to the following formula:

¦¦ ~ Rl R-S-C-~I~

wherein R, Rl and R2 have been defined above. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a solvent such as chloroform, methylene chloride, benzene or toluene and at a reduced tempera-ture of from about -25C. to about 65C. ~he amount of oxidizing agent used must be at least one molar equivalent to form the sulfoxide derivative and at least two molar equivalents to form the sulfone derivatives.

.~

1155~27 The thiocarbamate compounds are known herbicides and their method of synthesis is known; see U.S. Patents 2,913,327,
2,983,747, 3,133,927, 3,175,897 and 3,185,720 for example. How-ever, the use of these thiocarbamates as reactive intermediates to form other compounds that also-have pesticidal activity is unexpected.

In order to illustrate the merits of the present inven-tion, the following examples are provided:
.

Example 1 ~ 2 4 ~CH - CH~ 2 In a 500 ml. 3-necked flask with thermometer, mechanice' stirrer and addition device were placed 100 ml. of methylene chlo--ide and 4.0 g. (0.014 mole) S-( ~ -phenylethyl)-1-(5-ethyl-2-methy~-piperidine) carbothioate dissolved in 25 ml. of methylene chlori~e~
Stirring was begun and the temperature lowered to -30C. with a dry ice bath. Then, 2.4 g. (0.014 mole) of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid were added and the temperature held at -30C. for 15 minutes.
The temperature was allowed to reach 0C. in about 30 minutes.
Thereafter, the temperature was allowed to reach 4C., whereupon the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was washed with two 50 ..~1.
portions of 5% potassium carbonate and one 50 ml. portion of water, then dried over magnesium sulfate to yield 3,0 g. of pro-duct, nD - 1.5508.

li~yS12q Example 2 C2H4~ C-N ~ 2 = ~ CH2 A solution was formed containing 5.8 g. of m-chloro-peroxybenzoic acid in 100 ml. of methylene chloride at room tem-perature. The solution was then warmed to 30C. and 4.9 g.
(0.017 mole) of S-(~ -phenylethyl)-1-(5~ethyl-2-methylpiperidine) carbothioate in 25 ml. of methylene chloride were added at a rate such that gentle reflux was maintained. The solution was stirred at reflux for 30 minutes, then cooled to 5C. in an ice bath. The solid was filtered off an~ washed with cold methylene chloride.
The combined filtrate portions were washed with three 50 ml. por-tions of 5% potassium carbonate, two 50 ml. portions of water, then dried over magnesium sulfate and str~pped to yield 5.6 g. of product, nD - 1.5384.

Other compounds were prepared in an analogous manner starting with the appropriate starting materials as outlined above. The following is a table of compounds representative of those embodied by the present invention. Compound numbers have been assigned to them and are used for identification throughout the balance of the specification.

Herbicidal Screening Tests As previously mentioned, the novel compounds herein described are phytotoxic compounds which are useful and valuable in controlling various plant species. Compounds of this inventlon are tested as herbicides in the following manner.

Pre-emer~ence Herbicide Screenin~ Test Using an analytical balance, 20 mg. of the compound to be tested is weighed out on a piece of glassine weighing paper.
The paper and compound are placed in a 30 ml, wide~mouth bott'e and 3 ml. of acetone containing 1% Tween 20 ~ is added to dis-solve the compound, If the material is not soluble in acetone, another solvent such as water, alcohol or dimethylformamide (D~F) is used instead, When DMF is used, only 0,5 ml, or less is used to dissolve the compound and then another solvent is used to make the volume up to 3 ml, The 3 ml. of solution is sprayed uniformLy on the soil contained in a small styrofoam flat one day after planting weed seeds in the flat of soil, A No, 152 DeVilbiss atomizer is used to apply the spray using compressed air at a pressure of 5 lb./sq. inch. The rate of application is 8 lb./acre and the spray volume is 143 gal./acre.

~,lSS~27 On the day preceding treatment, the styrofoam flat which is 7 inchcs long, 5 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep is filled to a depth of 2 inches with loamy sand soil. Seeds of seven different weed species are planted in individual rows using one species per row across the width of the flat. The seeds ar~
covered with soil so that they are planted at a depth of 0.5 inch.
The seeds used are hairy crabgrass (Di~it~ria san~uinalis), yello~
foxtail (Setaria ~lauca), watergrass (Echinochloa crus~alli), red oat (Avena sativa), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) and curly dock (Rumex crispus~.
Ample seeds are planted to give about 20 to 50 seedlings per row after emergence depending on the size of the plants.

After treatment, the flats are placed in the greenhouse at a temperature of 70 to 85F. and watered by sprinkling. Two weeks after treatment, the degree of injury or control is deter-mined by comparison with untreated check plants of the same age.
The injury rating from 0 to 100% is recorded for each species as per cent control with 0% representing no injury and 10~/o repre-senting complete kill.

Post-emer~ence Herbicide Screenin~ Test Seeds of six plant species, including hairy crabgrass, watergrass, red oat, mustard, curly dock and Pinto bean (Phaseolus w lgaris) are planted in the styrofoam flats as described above for pre-emergence screening. The flats are placed in the green-house at 70-85F. and watered daily with a sprinkler. About 13 to 14 days after planting when the primary leaves of the bean plants are almost fully expanded and the first trifoliate leaves are just starting to form, the plants are sprayed. The spray ia prepared by weighing out 20 mg of the test compound, dissolving llSS~

it in S ml. of acetone contalning 1% Tween 20 ~ and then ~dding
5 ml. of w~ter. The solution is sprayed on the foli~ge using 2 No. 152 DeVilbiss atomizer at an air pressure of 5 lb./sq. inch.
The spray concentration is 0.2 and the rate 1s 8 lb./acre. The spray volume is 476 gal./acre. Injury ratings are recorded 14 days after treatment. The rating system is the same as described above for the pre-emergence test.

The results of these tests are shown in Table II, TABLE II
