R~ y ~2 The compounds of the general formula II are known, or they can be prepared by kno~n processes, such ~s those described, for example, in 6er~an Offenlegungsschrift
2,623,55R, G~rman Offenlegungsschrift 2,914,300, European Otfenlegungsschrift 50,019 and Belgian Pat~nt ~89,7~3.
Th~ co~pounds of the general formula III are like~ise kno~n; their preparation i-~ described~ for example, in German O~fenlegungsschrift 2,353,~04.
The compounds of the formula llI are preferably employed in the process according ~o the in~ention in the form of their hydrochloric acid or sulfur;c acid saLts.
The reactions are carried out in the presence of inorgan;c or organic bases~ the alkali ~etal hydroxides being preferred here.
~r Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons or halogeno-,~.
~Z4!2~
~, hydrocarbons which are ;nert under the reaction condi-tions, such as, for example, toluene, xylene or methylene chloride.
If the reaction is carr;ed out in methylene chlor;de, it i5 advisable to add ~ater. A procedure is then preferably follQwed in ~hich, for examp!e, the sul-fur;c dcid salts of the compounds III are initially intro-dused into a mixture of ~ater and methylene chlorlde at temperatures of -10C to +40C and the compounds II and and t~ice the molar a~ount of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise from separate vessels. De-pending on their solubility, the compounds accord;ng to the ;nvention are worked up and isolated by filtrat;on with suc~ion or by evaporation of the methylene chloride phase.
The compounds of the general formula I according to the inYention have a center of asymmetry and are usually present in racemic form. Ho~ever, it is also possible to use optically active starting substances of the g~neral formula II in the preparation process des-cribed, the preparation of these subst~nces being des-cribed, ~or example, in Europ~an Pat~nt 2,800. The des-ired isom~rs are thereby obtained in high optical purity.
On the basis of biological activity, the D-isomers are preferred. The general formuLa I thus comprises both the race~ates and the D-iso~ers o~ the compounds accord-ing to th~ invention.
The compounds of the formula I exhibit a good herbicidal action and good s~lectivity in important large-scale crops. They are suitable for ~electively combat-ing broad-leav~d and graminaceous annual and perennial ~eeds in agriculturally i~portant crops~ such as, for example, ~heat, rice, mai~e, sugar be~t, ~oybean and cotton) by the pre-e~ergence and post-emergence ~ethod.
Moreover, the s~bst~nces according to the invention e~-hibit good gro~th-regul3ting properties on crop plants.
They have a reguLating effect on the endogenous ~etabol-ism of plants and can thus be used for controlled infLu-encing of the contenes of plants and for facilitating z%
harvesting, such as~ for example, for des;ccation, abs-ciss;on or growth compression. Furthermore, they are also suitable for general control and inhibition of un-desirable vegeta~ive growth, without thereby destroying the plants. Inhibi~ion of vegetative gro~th is of great i~portance in many monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, since lodging can thereby be reduced or completely prevented.
The compounds according to the invention also exhibit a surprising activity as herbicide antidotes (safeners). They can thus antagonize, that is to say completely eliminate, phytotoxic effects arising from the use of various herbicides on crop plants. It is thereby possible to use known herbicides selectively in crops where use ~as not hitherto possible.
The agents according to the invention can be appLied as ~ettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, solutions ~hich can be sprayed, dusting agents, dressing agents, dispersions, granules or microgranules in the usual formulations.
~ ettable po~ders are products wh;ch are uniformly dispersible in ~ater and ~h;cho in addition to the active substance and ~part from a diluent or inert substance, if appropriate, also contain wetting agents, for example polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols and ~lkyl- or alkylphenyl-sulfonates, and dis-persing ~gents, for example sodium lignin-sulfonate~
sodiu~ 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfona~e, sodium dibutylnaphthaleneswlfonate or sodium oleyl-methyl-taur-ide. ~hey are prepared in the customary manner, ~forexample by grinding and mixing the comPonents.
E~ulsifiable concentrates can be pr~pared~ for example, by diss~lving the ac~ive substance ;n an inert organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylfor0amide, xylene or higher-boiling aro~atics or hydrocarbons, w;th the addition of one or mor~ emulsi-fiers. In the cas@ of l;qu;d active subs~ances, all or some of this solven~ content can also be dispensed with.
Examples of em~lsifiers which can be used: calcium alkyl--- 6 --arylsulfonat2s, such as Ca dodecylbenzenesulfonate, or non-ionic e~ulsifiers, such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, aLkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol poly-glycol ethers, propyl2ne o~ide/ethylene oxide condens-ation products, fatty alcohol/propylene oxide/ethyleneoxide condensation products, alkyl polyglycol ethers, sorbitan fa~ty acid esters, polyoxyethyLene sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sorbi~ol esters~
Dusting agents can be obtained by grinding the active substance with finely divided, solid substances, for exa~ple ealc or natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophiLite or diatomaceous earth.
Granules can be prepared either by spraying the active substance onto adsorbent, granular inert material or by applyiny active substance concentrates to the sur-face of carriers, such as sand or kaolinites, or granular inert material by means of binders, for example Polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or mineral oils. Suitable act;ve substances can al50 be granulated in the usual ~anner for the prepara~ion of fertilizer granules, if desired mixed with fertilizers~
~ he active substance concentration in wettable pouders is, tor ~xample, about 10 to 90X by ~eight~ the remainder to ~ake up to 100X by ~eight consisein~ of the usual formuLaeion constituents. The active substance concen~ra~ion in emulsifiable concentrates can be about 10 to ~OX by ~ight. Dust-like formulations usually con-tain 5 to 20~ by ~eight of active substance~ and solut;ons ~hich can be sprayed contain about 2 to 20X by ~eight.
The active substance content in granules parely depends on whether the aceive compound is presen~ in li~uid or solid for~ and ~hich granulaeion auxiliaries, fill2rs and the like are used.
The active substance for~ulations mentioned also contain, if appropriate, the particular customary ~acki-fiers, ~etting agents, dispersing ayents~ e~ulsif;ers, penetration agents, solvents~ fillers or carriers.
For use, the concentrates in the commercially avaiLable form are diluted~ if appropria~e, in the cus-~ >~ ~ g ~
-- 7 --tomary manner, ~or example by means of hater in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, disper-sions and somet;mes also microgranules. Dust-like and granular formulations and solutions which can sprayed are usually not further diluted with additional inert substances before use.
Mixtures or mixed formulations with other act;ve substances, such as, for example, insecticides, acari-cides~ herbicides, fertili~ers, growth regulators or fungicides, are also possible, where relevant.
Some formulation examples are described below:
Example A
_ _ A dust;ng agent is obtained by ~ixing 10 parts by ~eight of active substance and 90parts by weight of talc, as the ;nert substance, and comminut;ng the ~ix-ture in an impact mill.
Example 3 A powder wh;ch is read;ly dispersible and ~et-table in water is obtained by mixing ZS parts by weight o~ active substance, ~4 parts by ~eight of kaolin-contain-ing quartx, as ~he inert substance, 10 parts by weight of potassium lignin-sulfonat~ and 1 part by ~eight of sodium ol~yl-methyl t~uride, as the ~etting agent and dispersing agent, and grinding the mixtur~ in a pinned disc mill.
A dispersion concentration which is readily dis-persi~le in water is obtained by mixing 20 parts by ~eight of active ~ubstance with 6 parts by ~eight of alkylphenol polyglycol ether tTriton X 207), 3 parts by ~eight o~ isotridecanol polyglycol ether t8 moles of ethylene oxide) and 71 parts by ~eight of paraffinic mineral oil tboil;ng range, for example, about 255 to above 377C), and grinding the ~ixture to a fineness of less than S microns i~ a balL mill.

Herbicidal action The present compounds according to the invention exhibit a good herbicidal activity against a broad spec-trum of economically ;mpor~ant monocotyledonous and di-coeyledonous harmful plants. The active substances also have a good action against perennial species which are difficult to combat. It is irrelevant here whether the su~stances are applied by pre-sow;ng, pre-emergence or 1D post-emergence spraying. If the compounds according to the invention are applied to the soil surface by the pre-so~ing or pre-emergence method befors germination of the ~eeds, the emergence of seedlings is not completely pre-vented. The weeds grow to the cotyledon stage, but their growth then stops and they finally die completely after
Th~ co~pounds of the general formula III are like~ise kno~n; their preparation i-~ described~ for example, in German O~fenlegungsschrift 2,353,~04.
The compounds of the formula llI are preferably employed in the process according ~o the in~ention in the form of their hydrochloric acid or sulfur;c acid saLts.
The reactions are carried out in the presence of inorgan;c or organic bases~ the alkali ~etal hydroxides being preferred here.
~r Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons or halogeno-,~.
~Z4!2~
~, hydrocarbons which are ;nert under the reaction condi-tions, such as, for example, toluene, xylene or methylene chloride.
If the reaction is carr;ed out in methylene chlor;de, it i5 advisable to add ~ater. A procedure is then preferably follQwed in ~hich, for examp!e, the sul-fur;c dcid salts of the compounds III are initially intro-dused into a mixture of ~ater and methylene chlorlde at temperatures of -10C to +40C and the compounds II and and t~ice the molar a~ount of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise from separate vessels. De-pending on their solubility, the compounds accord;ng to the ;nvention are worked up and isolated by filtrat;on with suc~ion or by evaporation of the methylene chloride phase.
The compounds of the general formula I according to the inYention have a center of asymmetry and are usually present in racemic form. Ho~ever, it is also possible to use optically active starting substances of the g~neral formula II in the preparation process des-cribed, the preparation of these subst~nces being des-cribed, ~or example, in Europ~an Pat~nt 2,800. The des-ired isom~rs are thereby obtained in high optical purity.
On the basis of biological activity, the D-isomers are preferred. The general formuLa I thus comprises both the race~ates and the D-iso~ers o~ the compounds accord-ing to th~ invention.
The compounds of the formula I exhibit a good herbicidal action and good s~lectivity in important large-scale crops. They are suitable for ~electively combat-ing broad-leav~d and graminaceous annual and perennial ~eeds in agriculturally i~portant crops~ such as, for example, ~heat, rice, mai~e, sugar be~t, ~oybean and cotton) by the pre-e~ergence and post-emergence ~ethod.
Moreover, the s~bst~nces according to the invention e~-hibit good gro~th-regul3ting properties on crop plants.
They have a reguLating effect on the endogenous ~etabol-ism of plants and can thus be used for controlled infLu-encing of the contenes of plants and for facilitating z%
harvesting, such as~ for example, for des;ccation, abs-ciss;on or growth compression. Furthermore, they are also suitable for general control and inhibition of un-desirable vegeta~ive growth, without thereby destroying the plants. Inhibi~ion of vegetative gro~th is of great i~portance in many monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, since lodging can thereby be reduced or completely prevented.
The compounds according to the invention also exhibit a surprising activity as herbicide antidotes (safeners). They can thus antagonize, that is to say completely eliminate, phytotoxic effects arising from the use of various herbicides on crop plants. It is thereby possible to use known herbicides selectively in crops where use ~as not hitherto possible.
The agents according to the invention can be appLied as ~ettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, solutions ~hich can be sprayed, dusting agents, dressing agents, dispersions, granules or microgranules in the usual formulations.
~ ettable po~ders are products wh;ch are uniformly dispersible in ~ater and ~h;cho in addition to the active substance and ~part from a diluent or inert substance, if appropriate, also contain wetting agents, for example polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols and ~lkyl- or alkylphenyl-sulfonates, and dis-persing ~gents, for example sodium lignin-sulfonate~
sodiu~ 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfona~e, sodium dibutylnaphthaleneswlfonate or sodium oleyl-methyl-taur-ide. ~hey are prepared in the customary manner, ~forexample by grinding and mixing the comPonents.
E~ulsifiable concentrates can be pr~pared~ for example, by diss~lving the ac~ive substance ;n an inert organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylfor0amide, xylene or higher-boiling aro~atics or hydrocarbons, w;th the addition of one or mor~ emulsi-fiers. In the cas@ of l;qu;d active subs~ances, all or some of this solven~ content can also be dispensed with.
Examples of em~lsifiers which can be used: calcium alkyl--- 6 --arylsulfonat2s, such as Ca dodecylbenzenesulfonate, or non-ionic e~ulsifiers, such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, aLkylaryl polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol poly-glycol ethers, propyl2ne o~ide/ethylene oxide condens-ation products, fatty alcohol/propylene oxide/ethyleneoxide condensation products, alkyl polyglycol ethers, sorbitan fa~ty acid esters, polyoxyethyLene sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sorbi~ol esters~
Dusting agents can be obtained by grinding the active substance with finely divided, solid substances, for exa~ple ealc or natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophiLite or diatomaceous earth.
Granules can be prepared either by spraying the active substance onto adsorbent, granular inert material or by applyiny active substance concentrates to the sur-face of carriers, such as sand or kaolinites, or granular inert material by means of binders, for example Polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or mineral oils. Suitable act;ve substances can al50 be granulated in the usual ~anner for the prepara~ion of fertilizer granules, if desired mixed with fertilizers~
~ he active substance concentration in wettable pouders is, tor ~xample, about 10 to 90X by ~eight~ the remainder to ~ake up to 100X by ~eight consisein~ of the usual formuLaeion constituents. The active substance concen~ra~ion in emulsifiable concentrates can be about 10 to ~OX by ~ight. Dust-like formulations usually con-tain 5 to 20~ by ~eight of active substance~ and solut;ons ~hich can be sprayed contain about 2 to 20X by ~eight.
The active substance content in granules parely depends on whether the aceive compound is presen~ in li~uid or solid for~ and ~hich granulaeion auxiliaries, fill2rs and the like are used.
The active substance for~ulations mentioned also contain, if appropriate, the particular customary ~acki-fiers, ~etting agents, dispersing ayents~ e~ulsif;ers, penetration agents, solvents~ fillers or carriers.
For use, the concentrates in the commercially avaiLable form are diluted~ if appropria~e, in the cus-~ >~ ~ g ~
-- 7 --tomary manner, ~or example by means of hater in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, disper-sions and somet;mes also microgranules. Dust-like and granular formulations and solutions which can sprayed are usually not further diluted with additional inert substances before use.
Mixtures or mixed formulations with other act;ve substances, such as, for example, insecticides, acari-cides~ herbicides, fertili~ers, growth regulators or fungicides, are also possible, where relevant.
Some formulation examples are described below:
Example A
_ _ A dust;ng agent is obtained by ~ixing 10 parts by ~eight of active substance and 90parts by weight of talc, as the ;nert substance, and comminut;ng the ~ix-ture in an impact mill.
Example 3 A powder wh;ch is read;ly dispersible and ~et-table in water is obtained by mixing ZS parts by weight o~ active substance, ~4 parts by ~eight of kaolin-contain-ing quartx, as ~he inert substance, 10 parts by weight of potassium lignin-sulfonat~ and 1 part by ~eight of sodium ol~yl-methyl t~uride, as the ~etting agent and dispersing agent, and grinding the mixtur~ in a pinned disc mill.
A dispersion concentration which is readily dis-persi~le in water is obtained by mixing 20 parts by ~eight of active ~ubstance with 6 parts by ~eight of alkylphenol polyglycol ether tTriton X 207), 3 parts by ~eight o~ isotridecanol polyglycol ether t8 moles of ethylene oxide) and 71 parts by ~eight of paraffinic mineral oil tboil;ng range, for example, about 255 to above 377C), and grinding the ~ixture to a fineness of less than S microns i~ a balL mill.

~ ane sugar plants ~re grown under greenhouse condi~ions at 25-35~C and about 65% atmospheric humidity.
Various amounts of the formuLated agents were suspended in water, ~hich addi~iQnally ~oneained about 0.25X by ~eighe o~ a surface-active agent (nonylphenol).
In each case û.~ ml of ~he suspensions ~ere 7'~2 ~ f.o applied ~ith the aid of a syringe in the sp;ndle region at ~he height of last visible leaf blade ("dewlap") (10 plants per test group). The plants ~ere 6 months old at the time of application.
After 5 ~eeks, the Plants were harvested~ the foliage was re~oved and the 14 upper internodes ~ere analyzed ;n each case together in groups for sucrose con-Sent and juice purity by means of the so-called "press method" (T. Tanimoto, Hawaiin Planters Record, 57, 133 ~1964]).
The sugar content here is determined polarimet-rically and expressed in "pol~ percentage of cane"; this figure corresponds to the percentage of sucrose in the solution, under the assumption that sucrose is the only substance in the sugar soLution ~hich rotates the plane of polarized light. The determination of the "pol. per-centage of cane" ;s a recognized method for determin;ng the sugar content of sugar cane~
