Optionally, the propargyloxy group, also known as 2-propynyloxy, may be added at an earlier stage in the synthesis rather than in the last step: for example, at the outset by using 4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-propar-5 gyloxyaniline as the starting material in place ofcompound II (the corresponding ~-methoxy compound).
4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-methoxyaniline, compound II, was prepared in five steps from commercially available 2-chloro-4-fluorophenol in a known manner (see E.
10 Nagano et al. in European Patent Application Publication No. 69,855, published January 19, 1983).
Compound II was converted to the corresponding hydrazine III by diazotization followed by reduction of the diazonium salt with stannous chloride.
Treatment oE the arylhydrazine with pyruvic acid in the presence of 10% hydrochloric acid and ethanol gave the arylhydrazone IV which upon treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide afforded the aryltriazolinone V. Compound V was converted to the present compound - ~o I(a) in three steps by methods analo~ous to those disclosed in British Patent No. 2,090,250 for similar compounds; this conversion is exemplified herein in Example 1 steps D and E and Example 2. Alkylation of Compound V with chlorodifluoromethane produced the N-difluoromethyl derivative VI which was demethylated at the ether linkage upon treatment with boron tribromide in methylene chloride to give the corresponding phenol VII. Alkylation of the 5-hydroxyphenyl compound with propargyl bromide in the presence of potassium carbonate and acetone produced the present compound.
Preparation of the present compounds and the intermediate compounds shown in the chemical equations abo~e is illustrated further in the following examples. All temperatures shown are in degrees Celsius, and reduced pressures for concentration of - 8 - ~ 5~

Table 5 below shows a comparison of the average or overall biological efficacy for the present. compound I(a) and the prior art compound against both weed ~;~46S~3~
grasses and weed broadleaves. The BE values for grasses represent the average of the BE values in Table 3 (preemergence) or Table q ~postemergence) for barnyardgrass, blue panicum, giant foxtail, green 5 ~oxtail, johnsongrass, signalgrass, yellow nutsedge, and yellow foxtail. The BE values for broadleaves represent the average for bindweed, cocklebur, ivyglory, sesbania, sicklepod, velvetleaf, and wild mustard. As can be seen from the table, both 10 compounds performed equally well against the grasses, but the present compound was substantially more active against the more difficult to control broadleaves. In the preemergence tests against broadleaves, 0.5 kg/ha of the standard compound was needed for a BE of 99, 15 whereas only 0.125 kg/ha of the present compound was required for the same level of control. Similarly, in the postemergence tests, 0.5 kg/ha of the standard gave a BE value oE 96 while the present compound gave a BE of 99 at one-fourth the application rate, 0.125 20 kg/ha. Thus, in either preemergence or postemergence applications against the broadleaves, the present compound was about four times as active as the 2-chloro compound.

For herbicidal application, the active compounds as ~bove defined are formulated into herbicidal compositions by admixture in herbicidally effective a~ounts with adjuvants and carriers normally employed in the art for facilitating the dispersion of active ingredients for the particular utility desired, recognizing the fact that the formulation and mode of application of a toxicant may affect the activity of the material in a given application. Thus, for agricultural use the present herbicidal compounds may be formulated as granules of relatively large particle size, water-soluble or water-dispersible granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions or as any of several other known types o~ formulations, depending on the desired mode of application.
For preemergence application these herbicidal compositions are usually applied either as sprays, dusts, or granules to the areas in which suppression of vegetation is desired. For postemergence control of established plant growth, sprays or dusts are most commonly used. These formulations may contain as little as 0.5% to as much as 95% or more by weight of active ingredient.
Dusts are free flowing admixtures of the active ingredient with finely divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, flours such as walnut shell and cottonseed flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which ac~ as dispersants and carriers ~or the toxicant; these finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A
typical dust formulation useful herein is one containing 1.0 part of the herbicidal co~pound and 99.0 parts of talc.
658~3 Wettable powders, also useful formulations for both pre and postemergence herbicides, are in the form of finely divided particles which disperse readily in water or other dispersant. The wettable powder is 5 ultimately applied to the soil either as a dry dust or as an emulsion in water or other liquid. Typical carriers for wettable powders inc]ude Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic dilutents. Wettable powders 10 normally are prepared to contain about 5-80~ o~ active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion. For example, a useful wettable powder 15 formulation contains ~0.8 parts of the herbicidal compound, 17~9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulEonate and 0.3 part of sul~onated aliphatic polyester as ~etting agents. Frequently, additional wetting agent and/or oil ~ill be added to 20 the tank-mix for post-emergence application to acilitate dispersion on the foliage and absorption by the plant.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applica-tions are emulsifiable concentrates. ~mulsifiable 25 concentrates are homogeneous liquid or paste composi-tions dispersible in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the herbicidal compound and a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier, such as xylene, heavy aromatic 30 naphthas, isophorone, or other non-volatile organic solvent. For h0rbicidal application these concentrates are dispersed in water or other li~uid carrier, and normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated. The percentage by weight of the 35 essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but .
.
in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the herbicidal composition.
Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifyin~ agents used in agricultural formulations include, for 5 example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulates and their sodium salts; polyhydric alcohols;
and other types of surface active agents, many of which are available in commerce. The surface active agent, when used, normally comprises 1% to 15% by 10 weight of the herbicidal composition.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a dispersant in which it is completely soluble at the Aesired concentration, such as acetone, 15 alkylated naphthalenes, xylene or other organic sol-vents. Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relatively coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, 20 typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low boiling dispersant solvent carrier, such as the Freons, may also be used.
Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are also 25 useful formulations for herbicidal application of the present compounds. Such granular formulations are free-flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible. These soluble or dispersib~e granular formulations described in U.S. patent No. 3,920,442, 30 incorporated herein by reference are useful herein with the present herbicidal compounds.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be formulated and/or applied with insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, 35 ertilizers, or other agricultural chemicals and may be used as effective soil sterilants as well as .~2~6589 selective herbicides in agriculture. In applying an active compound of this invention, whether formulated alone or with other agricultural chemicals, an effective amount and concentration of the active compound is of course employed.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other herbicides, e.g.
they may be mixed with, say, an equal or larger amount of a known herbicide such as chloroacetanilide herbi-cides such as 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide (alachlor), 2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-acetamide (metolachlor), and N-chloroacetyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine (diethatyl-ethyl); benzothiadia-zinone herbicides such as 3-(1-methylethyl)-tlH)-2,1, 3-henzothiadiazin-~-(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide (bentazon);
triazine herbicides such as 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N-(l-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine), and 2-[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile (cyanazine); dinitrol-aniline herbicides such as 2s6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzeneamine (trifluralin); and aryl urea herbicides such as N'-(3,4-di-chlorophenyl)-N, N-dimethylurea (diuron) anA N,N-dimethyl-N'-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]urea (fluometuron).

Table 5 below shows a comparison of the average or overall biological efficacy for the present. compound I(a) and the prior art compound against both weed ~;~46S~3~
grasses and weed broadleaves.

Typical carriers for wettable powders inc]ude Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic dilutents. Wettable powders 10 normally are prepared to contain about 5-80~ o~ active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion. For example, a useful wettable powder 15 formulation contains ~0.8 parts of the herbicidal compound, 17~9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulEonate and 0.3 part of sul~onated aliphatic polyester as ~etting agents. Frequently, additional wetting agent and/or oil ~ill be added to 20 the tank-mix for post-emergence application to acilitate dispersion on the foliage and absorption by the plant.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applica-tions are emulsifiable concentrates. ~mulsifiable 25 concentrates are homogeneous liquid or paste composi-tions dispersible in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the herbicidal compound and a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier, such as xylene, heavy aromatic 30 naphthas, isophorone, or other non-volatile organic solvent. For h0rbicidal application these concentrates are dispersed in water or other li~uid carrier, and normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated. The percentage by weight of the 35 essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but .
.
in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the herbicidal composition.
Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifyin~ agents used in agricultural formulations include, for 5 example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulates and their sodium salts; polyhydric alcohols;
and other types of surface active agents, many of which are available in commerce. The surface active agent, when used, normally comprises 1% to 15% by 10 weight of the herbicidal composition.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a dispersant in which it is completely soluble at the Aesired concentration, such as acetone, 15 alkylated naphthalenes, xylene or other organic sol-vents. Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relatively coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, 20 typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low boiling dispersant solvent carrier, such as the Freons, may also be used.
Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are also 25 useful formulations for herbicidal application of the present compounds. Such granular formulations are free-flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible. These soluble or dispersib~e granular formulations described in U.S. patent No. 3,920,442, 30 incorporated herein by reference are useful herein with the present herbicidal compounds.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be formulated and/or applied with insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, 35 ertilizers, or other agricultural chemicals and may be used as effective soil sterilants as well as .~2~6589 selective herbicides in agriculture. In applying an active compound of this invention, whether formulated alone or with other agricultural chemicals, an effective amount and concentration of the active compound is of course employed.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other herbicides, e.g.
they may be mixed with, say, an equal or larger amount of a known herbicide such as chloroacetanilide herbi-cides such as 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide (alachlor), 2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-acetamide (metolachlor), and N-chloroacetyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine (diethatyl-ethyl); benzothiadia-zinone herbicides such as 3-(1-methylethyl)-tlH)-2,1, 3-henzothiadiazin-~-(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide (bentazon);
triazine herbicides such as 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N-(l-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine), and 2-[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile (cyanazine); dinitrol-aniline herbicides such as 2s6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzeneamine (trifluralin); and aryl urea herbicides such as N'-(3,4-di-chlorophenyl)-N, N-dimethylurea (diuron) anA N,N-dimethyl-N'-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]urea (fluometuron).
