The present invention furthermora relates to a process for their preparation and their use as crop protection a~ents.
The novel cyclohexenone~ I obviously have acidic character, ie. they can form simple reaction products, such a~ salts of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds or enol e~ters.
Tha compounds of the formula I may occur in a plurality of tautomeric forms, all of ~hich are embraced by the claim.
DE-A 38 38 309 describes herbicidal cyclohexenone oxi~ne ethers whoRe general formula cover~ the axyl-butyleneoximinocyclohexanediones I defined at tha outset.
Compound of the formula I' X

where X is p-trifluoromethyl or p-tert-butyl, n i 0 or 1 and R1 and R2 have the meanings stated under I, are 2 ~ 3 I - 3 - O.Z. 0050/41598 mentioned in particular.
It i~ an object of the present invention to synthesize cyclohexenon~ oxime ether~ which have high sel~ctivity compared with the known members of thi~ class of substances in controlling weeds in gramineous crop~, such as rice.
We have found that thi~ object is achieved by the novel cyclohexenone oxime ether of the formula I which are defined at the outset and which have a good herbicid-al action, preferably against specie~ from the gra sfamily (Gramineae). They are tolerated and hence selec-tive in broad-leaved crops and in monocotyledon culture~
which do not belong to the Gramineae. They also include compounds which exhibit selectivity also in gramineous crops and at ~he same time centrol undesirable gras~e~.
The cyclohexenone~ of the formula I can be prepared in a conventional manner from derivatives of the formula II (EP-A 80 301, EP-A-125 094, EP-A-142 741, US-A 4 249 937, EP-A 137 174 a~d EP-A 177 913) and the corresponding hydro~ylamines of the formula III (EP-A 169 521).

The reaction is advantageously carried out in the heterogeneou~ pha~a in a solvent, at an adequate tempera-ture below about 80C, in the pre~ence of a base, and the hydroxylamine III i~ used in the form of it~ ammonium salt.
Examples of ~uitabla ba~es are carbonates, bicarbonates, acetat0~, alcoholates or oxide~ of alkali or alkaline ear~h metals, in particular ~odium hydroxide, potas~ium hydroxide, magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.

Examples of suitable solv2nt~ are dLmethyl S sulfoxide, alcohol~, such a methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene and toluene, chlorohydrocarbons, ~uch as chloroform and dichloroethane, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane and cyclohexane, esters, such as ethyl acetate, and ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydro~
furan. The reaction is preferably carried out in methanol using sodium bicarbonate as the base.
The reaction is complete af~er a few hours. The desired compound can be isolated, for example by evapora-ting down the mixture, distributing the re~idue in methylene chloride/water and di tilling off the solvent under reduced pressure.
However, the free hydroxylamine base, for example in the form of an aqueou~ solu~ion, can also be used directly for this reaction; depending on the solvent u~ed for the compound II, a single-phase or two-phase reaction mixture i5 obtained.
Examples of suitable ~olvents for this varian~
are alcohol~, such a methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and cyclohexanol, aliphatio and aroma~ic hydrocarbon3 and chlorohydrocarbon~, such a~ hexane, cyclohexane, meth-ylene chloride, toluene and dichloroethane, esters, such a~ ethyl acetate, nitrile3, such a~ acetonitrile, and cyclic ethQrs, such a~ dioxane and tetrahydrofuran.
Alkali metal ~alts of the compounds I can be obtained by treating the 3-hydroxy compound~ with sodium hydroxide, potas~ium hydroxide or a ~odium or pota~ium alcoholate in aqueous solution or in an organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone or toluene.
Other metal salt~, such a~ mangan2se, coppPr, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium and barium salt3, can be prepared from the ~odium salt~ in a conventional manner, !

7 ~ 3 - 24 - O.Z. 0050/41598 Use Examples The herbicidal action of the cyclohexenone oxime ethers of the formula I could be demonstrated by yreen-house experiment~:
The culture ve ~els used were plas~ic flowerpots containing loamy sand with about 3% of humus as a sub-strate. The seeds of the test plan~s were sown separate-ly according to species.
In the cAse of preemergence trea~ment, the active ingredients ~uspended or emul~ified in water were applied directly after sowing, by means of nozzles providing a fine distribution. The vessel~ were lightly watered in order to promote germination and growth and then covered with transparent plastic covers un~il the plants had begun to grow. This covering ensures uniform germination of the ~est plant~, unles~ this i~ adversely affected by the active ingredients.
For the purpo~e of postemergence treatment, the test plant~ wers treated with the active ingredients suspended or emul~ified in water, bu~ only after reaching a height of growth of from 3 to 15 cm, depending on the growth form. The application rate for the postemergence treatment was 0.06 kg/ha of active substance.
The plants were kept at 10-25C or 20-35C, depending on the specie~. The te~t period extended over 2-4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended and their reaction to the individual treatments ~as e~aluated.
Evaluation was based on a cale from 0 to 100.
100 means no emergence of the plant~ or complete destruc-tion of at lea~t the above-ground parts and 0 means no damage or normal growth.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments consisted of the following 3pecies:
