Description N-Acyl-N-alkylaminophenylsulfonylureas with sulfur substituents, processes for their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

The invention relates to the technical field of herbicides and plant growth regulators, in particular herbicides for selective control of broad-leaved weeds and graminaceous weeds in crops of useful plants.

It is known that phenylsulfonylureas which have heterocyclic substituents and carry an amino or a func-tionalized amino group or a sulfur substituent on the phenyl ring have herbicidal and plant growth-regulating properties (EP-A-1515; EP-A-7687; EP-A-30138; US-A-4,892,946; US-A-4,981,509, US-A-4,664,695; US-A-4,632,695, EP-A-116518; EP-A-23142 (= US-A-4,310,346);
US-A-4,369,058; EP-A-84020; EP-A-192489; DE 42 36 902 Al).

Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain phenyl-sulfonylureas with heterocyclic substituents are particu-larly suitable as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

The present invention relates to compounds of the for-mula (I) and salts thereof \ ~S0 -NH-C-NRs ~(~ ( I ) in which W is an oxygen or sulfur atom, preferably O, CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 m is 0, 1, 2 or 3, n is 0, 1 or 2, R1 is hydroxyl, amino, mono- or disubstituted amino, hydroxylamino, substituted hydroxylamino, hydrazino, substituted hydrazino, an aliphatic hydrocarbon or hydrocarbonoxy radical, aryl, heteroaryl, aryloxy or heteroaryloxy, where each of the last 6 radicals mentioned is unsubstituted or substituted, R2 is halogen, CN, NO2, amino, mono- or disubstituted amino, alkyl or alkoxy, where each of the last two radicals mentioned is unsubstituted or substituted, R3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, which is un-substituted or substituted, preferably having a total of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R4 is an acyl radical, R5 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, (Cl-C~)alkyl, (C1-C~)alkoxy, (C2-C4)alkenyl or (C2-C4)alkynyl, where each of the last 4 radicals mentioned is unsubstituted or sub-stituted by halogen, preferably F, Cl or Br, X and Y independently of one another are hydrogen, hydroxyl, amino, mono- or disubstituted amino, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cycloalkoxy or alkylthio, where each of the last 9 radicals mentioned is unsubstituted or substituted, and Z is CH, N or C - R ~ ~, in which R~ is halogen, /

cyano, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl or haloalkoxy.

In formula (I) and all the formulae below, the alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, alkylamino and alkylthio radicals and the correspo~ing unsaturated and/or substi-tuted radicals can in each case be straight-chain or branched in the carbon skeleton. Unless specifically ~tated, the lower carbon skeletons, for example having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or in the case of unsaturated groups having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, are preferred for these CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 , radicals. Alkyl radicals, including in the composite me~n;ngs, such as alkoxy, haloalkyl and the like, are, for example, methyl, ethyl, n- or i-propyl, n-, i-, t- or 2-butyl, pentyl radicals, hexyl radicals, such as n-hexyl, i-hexyl and 1,3-dimethylbutyl, or heptyl radicals, such as n-heptyl, l-methylhexyl and 1,4-dimethylpentyl;
alkenyl and alkynyl radicals have the meaning of the possible unsaturated radicals correspo~ing to the alkyl radicals; alkenyl is, for example, allyl, 1-methylprop-2-en-l-yl, 2-methyl-prop-2-en-1-yl, but-2-en-1-yl, but-3-en-1-yl, 1-methyl-but-3-en-1-yl and 1-methyl-but-2-en-1-yl; and alkynyl is, for example, propargyl, but-2-yn-1-yl, but-3-yn-1-yl and 1-methyl-but-3-yn-1-yl.

Halogen is, for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Haloalkyl, -alkenyl and -alkynyl are alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl respectively which are partly or completely substituted by halogen, preferably by fluor-ine, chlorine and/or bromine, in particular by fluorine or chlorine, for example CF3, CHF2, CH2F, CF3CF2, CH2FCHCl, CCl3, CHCl2 and CH2CH2Cl; haloalkoxy is, for example, OCF3, OCHF2, OCH2F, CF3CF2O, OCH2CF3 and OCH2CH2Cl; the correspo~;ng definition applies to haloalkenyl and other radicals substituted by halogen.

A hydrocarbon radical iB a straight-chain, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical, for example alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or aryl; aryl here is a mono-, bi- or polycyclic aromatic system, for example phenyl, naphthyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, indenyl, indanyl, penta-lenyl, fluorenyl and the like, preferably phenyl; a hydrocarbon radical i~ preferably alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl having up to 12 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl having 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 ring atoms or phenyl;
the corresponding definition applies to a hydrocarbon radical in a hydrocarbonoxy radical.

A heterocyclic radical or ring (heterocyclyl) can be CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 saturated, unsaturated or heteroaromatic; it preferably contains one or more hetero units in the ring, preferably from the group consisting of N, 0, S, S0 and S02; prefer-ably, it is an aliphatic heterocyclyl radical having 3 to 7 ring atoms or a heteroaromatic radical having 5 or 6 ring atoms and contains 1, 2 or 3 hetero units. The heterocyclic radical can be, for example, a hetero-aromatic radical or ring (heteroaryl), such as, for example, a mono-, bi- or polycyclic aromatic system in which at least 1 ring contains one or more hetero atoms, for example pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, thienyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, furyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl and imidazolyl, or is a partly hydrogenated radical, such as oxiranyl, pyrrolidyl, piperidyl, piperazinyl, dioxo-lanyl, morpholinyl or tetrahydrofuryl. Possible sub-stituents for a substituted heterocyclic radical are the substituents mentioned below, and in addition also oxo.
The oxo group can alQo occur on the hetero ring atoms which can exi~t in different oxidation states, for example in the case of N and S.

Substituted radicals, such as substituted hydrocarbon radicals, for example substituted alkyl, alkenyl, al-kynyl, aryl, phenyl and benzyl, or substituted hetero-cyclyl or heteroaryl, are, for example, a substituted radical derived from the unsubstituted parent substance, the substituents being, for example, one or more, prefer-ably 1, 2 or 3, radicals from the group consisting of halogen, alkoxy, halo~lkoxy, alkylthio, hydroxyl, amino, nitro, carboxyl, cyano, azido, alkoxycarbonyl, alkyl-carbonyl, formyl, carbamoyl, mono- and dialkylamino-carbonyl, substituted amino, such as acylamino and mono-and dialkylamino, and alkyl~ulfinyl, haloalkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, haloalkylsulfonyl and, in the case of cyclic radicals, also alkyl and haloalkyl, as well as the unsaturated aliphatic radicals correspo~;ng to the saturated hydrocarbon-containing radical 8 mentioned, such as alkenyl, alkynyl, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy and the like.
In the case of radicals with carbon atoms, those having CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in particular 1 or 2 carbon atoms, are preferred. Substituents from the group consisting of halogen, for example fluorine and chlorine, (Cl-C4)alkyl, preferably methyl or ethyl, (C1-C~)haloalkyl, preferably trifluoromethyl, (Cl-C4)alkoxy, preferably methoxy or ethoxy, (Cl-C~)haloalkoxy, nitro and cyano, are as a rule preferred. The substituents methyl, methoxy and chlorine are particularly preferred here.

Mono- or disubstituted amino is a chemically stable radical from the group consisting of substituted amino radicals which are N-subRtituted, for example, by one or two identical or different radicals from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, acyl and aryl; preferably monoalkylamino, dialkylamino, acylamino, arylamino, N-alkyl-N-arylamino and N-heterocyclic radicals; alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are preferred here;
aryl here is preferably phenyl or substituted phenyl; the definition given below applies here to acyl, preferably (Cl-C4)alkanoyl. A correspo~;ng definition applies to substituted hydroxylamino or hydrazino.

Optionally substituted phenyl is preferably phenyl which is unsubstituted or mono- or polysubstituted, preferably up to three times, by identical or different radicals from the group consisting of halogen, (Cl-C4)alkyl, (Cl-C4) alkoxy, (Cl-C4)haloalkyl, (Cl-C4)haloalkoxy and nitro, for example o-, m- and p-tolyl, dimethylphenyl radicals, 2-, 3- and 4-chlorophenyl, 2-, 3- and 4-trifluoro- and -trichlorophenyl, 2,4-, 3,5-, 2,5- and 2,3-dichlorophenyl and o-, m- and p-methoxyphenyl.

An acyl radical is the radical of an organic acid, for example the radical of a carboxylic acid and radicals of acids derived therefrom, such as the thiocarboxylic acid, optionally N-substituted iminocarboxylic acids or the radical of carbonic acid monoesters, optionally N-substi-tuted carbamic acid, sulfonic acids, sulfinic acids,phosphonic acids and phosphinic acids. Acyl is, for CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 example, formyl, alkylcarbonyl, such as (Cl-C4-alkyl)-carbonyl, phenylcarbonyl, in which the phenyl ring can be substituted, for example as shown above for phenyl, or alkoxycarbonyl, phenyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkylsulfinyl, N-alkyl-1-iminoalkyl and other radicals of organic acids.

The above examples of general terms, such as alkyl, acyl, aryl, substituted radicals and the like, are not a complete list; in particular the terms also include me~n;ngs of the same type which are given below for the preferred compounds.

The invention also relates to all the stereoisomers included by the formula (I) and mixtures thereof. Such compounds of the formula (I) contain one or more asymmet-ric carbon atoms or al~o double bonds which are not shownseparately in the general formula (I). The possible stereoisomers defined by their ~pecific ~patial form, such as enantiomers, diastereomers and Z and E isomers, are all included by the formula (I) and can be obtained from mixtures of the stereoisomer6 by customary methods or also prepared by stereoselective reactions in combina-tion with the u~e of stereochemically pure starting substances.

The compounds of the formula (I) can form salt~ in which the hydrogen of the -SO2-NH- group is replaced by a cation ~uitable for agriculture. These salt~ are, for example, metal salts, in particular alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, in particular sodium and potassium ~alt~, or also ammonium salts or salts with organic amines.

The reaction of the compounds of the formulae (II) and (III) is preferably carried out under base catalysis in inert solvents, such as, for example, methylene chloride, acetonitrile, dioxane, dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylacetamide or T~F, at temperature~ from -10~C up to the boiling point of the particular solvent. Base~
which are used here are, for example, organic amine bases, such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or triethylamine, or also hydroxides, ~uch a~, for CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 example, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or alcoholates, such as, for example, sodium methylate, potassium tert-butylate or sodium phenolate, or carbon-ates, such as, for example, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, in particular in the case where R~ = (substi-tuted) phenyl (cf., for example, EP-A-44807), or tri-methyl- or triethylaluminum, the latter in particular in the case where R = alkyl (cf. EP-A-166516).

The sulfonamides of the formula (II) are obt~;n~hle~ for example, by the following route (cf. Equation 1): The reaction of the sulfonic acids (X) or alkali metal salts thereof with a chlorinating agent - such as, for example, PCl3, POCl3 or SOCl2 - leads to the sulfochloride of the formula (XI). This reaction iB carried out in bulk or in inert solvents, such as, for example, methylene chloride, sulfolane or acetonitrile or in a solvent mixture of inert components. The subsequent reaction with ~mmonia or tert-butylamine leads to the sulfonamides of the for-mula (XII) where R = H or tert-butyl. These compounds can be converted with mercaptans in solvents, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide or N-methylpyrrolidinone, in the presence of suitable bases, such as, for example, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, into the correspo~;ng mercaptans of the formula (XIII) (n = O). By the choice of suitable oxidiz-ing agents and reaction conditions, the correspo~;ng compounds of the formula (XIII) where n = 1 and 2 can be prepared analogously to known methods.

After the reduction of the nitro group from the compounds of the formula (XIII), for example with iron in an acetic acid medium or other customary methods (for example hydrogenation with Pd-C/hydrogen), the aniline of the formula (XIV) is obtained (in this context cf.: H. Berri, G.T. Neuhold, F.S. Spring, J. Chem. Soc. 1952, 2042;
M. Freifelder, "Catalytic Hydrogenation in Organic Synthesis: Procedures and Commentary", J. Wiley and Sons, New York (1978), Chapter 5).

CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 , The alkyl group (R3) is introduced by processes known from the literature by mo~o~lkylation of anilines. For this, the aniline of the formula (XIV) is acylated, for example with an acid chloride or acid anhydride, and the amide function formed is subsequently transformed with suitable reducing agents, such as, for example, borane-dimethylsulfide complex, to give the N-alkylaniline (cf.
S. Kri~nAml~rty, Tetrahedron Lett. 23 3315 (1982)).

The N-alkylanilines of the formula (XV) thus obtained, where R = t-butyl or R = H, are reacted with suitable electrophiles, such as, for example, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, isocyanates, thioisocyanates, sulfochlorides or amidosulfochlorides, to give the compounds of the formula (XVI) or to give the sulfonamides of the for-mula (II) (in this context cf.: A.L.

The sulfonamides (II) are obtained from the compounds of the formula (XVI) by reaction with strong acids. Possible strong acids are, for example, mineral acids, such as H2SO4 or HCl, or strong organic acids, such as trifluoro-acetic acid. The t-butyl protective group is split off, CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 for example, at temperatures from -20~C and the particular reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, preferably at 0~C to 40~C.

The reaction can be carried out in bulk or also in an inert sol~ent, such as, for example, methylene chloride or chloroform.

The carbamates of the formula (III) required for the reaction of the compounds (II) according to ~ariant a) are known from the literature or can be prepared by processes analogous to known processes (cf. EP-A-70 804 or US-A-4,480,101).

(Vl1) For this, the compounds of the formula (VII) are initially introduced into the reaction vessel at tempera-tures between -10~C and 150~C - preferably at 0~C to 80~C
in an inert solvent, such as, for example, methylene chloride, chloroform, dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethyl-acetamide - and are reacted with a suitable electrophile (in this context cf. the description of the reaction of compounds of the formula (XV) with electrophiles to give the sulfonamides of the formula (XVI) or (II)).

Compounds of the formula (VIII) are known from the literature (EP-A-23141, US-A-4,369,058) or can be pre-pared in an analogous manner.

The reaction of sulfonamides of the formula (II) with i CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 chloroformic acid aryl esters (VI) and heterocyclic amines of the formula (V) likewise leads to the compounds of the formula (I).

R3R4N ~ S02-NH-C00 Aryl (XVIII) Qg. Aryl ~ Ph are first formed in the presence of a suitable base, such as, for example, triethylamine or potassium carbamate.
These sulfonyl carbamates of the formula (XVIII) can then be reacted with heterocyclic amines (V) to give the sulfonylureas (I) (cf. US-A-4,994,57).

The phenylsulfonyl isocyanates of the formula (IX) can be prepared, for example, from compounds (II), for example with pho~gene, analogously to the processes from EP-A-184 385.

The reaction of the compounds (IX) with the aminohetero-cyclic compounds of the formula (V) is preferably carried out in inert aprotic solvents, such as, for example, dioxane, acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures between 0~C and the boiling point of the solvent.

The reaction of the sulfochlorides (IV) with the amino-heterocyclic compounds of the formula (V) and cyanates, such as sodium cyanate and potassium cyanate, is carried out, for example, in aprotic solvents, such as, for example, acetonitrile, sulfolane, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, pyridine, picoline or lutidine, or a mixture of these components, at temperature~ between -10~C and 100~C, preferably at 0~C to 50~C (cf.
US-A-5,517,119).

CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 , The (thio)isocyanates of the formula (VIII) are obtain-able by processes known from the literature (EP-A-232067, EP-A-166516). The reaction of the (thio)isocyanates (VIII) with compounds (II) is carried out at -10~C to 100~C, preferably at 20 to 100~C, in an inert aprotic solvent, such as, for example, acetone or acetonitrile, in the presence of a ~uitable base, for example N(C2H5)3 or K2C03-The compounds of the formula (II), (IV), (XVI) and (XVIII) are novel and the invention likewise relates to them; they correspond to compounds of the formula (XIX) (R2) S(~)n~R

~SO2U~ (XIX) in which U~ is NH2, Cl or mono- or disubstituted amino, such as alkylamino or aryloxyamino, preferably NH2, Cl, t-butylamino or aryloxacarbonylamino, and Rl, R2, R3, R4, n and m are defined as in formula (I).

The salts of the compounds of the formula (I) are prefer-ably prepared in inert solvents, such as, for example, water, methanol, acetone, methylene chloride, tetra-hydrofuran, toluene or heptane, at temperature~ from O to 100~C. Suitable bases for the preparation of the salts according to the invention are, for example, alkali metal carbonates, such as potassium carbonate, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as NaOH, ROH and Ca(OH) 2~ ammonia or a suitable amine base, such as triethylamine or ethanolamine. Suitable acids for the salt formation are, for example, HCl, HBr, H2SO4 or HNO3.

The "inert solvents" mentioned in the above process variants mean in each case solvents which are inert under the particular reaction conditions but which do not have CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 , to be inert under any desired reaction conditions.

The term n compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention" below also relates to salts of the compounds of the formula (I).

The compounds of the formula (I) according to the inven-tion have an excellent herbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of economically important mono- and dicotyledon harmful plants. Perennial weeds which are difficult to control and shoot from rhizomes, rootstock or other permanent organisms are also readily attacked by the active compounds. It is irrelevant here whether the substances are applied by the pre-sowing, pre-emergence or post-emergence method.

Some representatives of monocotyledon and dicotyledon weed flora which can be controlled by the compounds according to the invention may be mentioned specifically by way of example, without a limitation to certain species being intended by the ~r ; ng of these.

On the part of the monocotyledon species of weeds, for example, Avena, Lolium, Alopecurus, Phalaris, Echinochloa, Digitaria, Setaria and Cyperus species from the annual group and on the part of the perennial species Agropyron, Cynodon, Imperata and Sorghum and also peren-nial Cyperus species are readily attacked.

In the case of dicotyledon species of weeds, the action spectrum extends to species such as, for example, Galium, Viola, Veronica, Lamium, Stellaria, Amaranthus, Sinapis, Ipomoea, Matricaria, Abutilon and Sida on the annual side and Convolvulus, Cirsium, Rumex and Artemisia in the case of perennial weeds.

Weeds which occur under the specific growing conditions in rice, such as, for example, Sagittaria, Alisma, Eleocharis, Scirpus and Cyperus, are likewise controlled CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 outstAn~;ngly by the active compounds according to the invention.

If the compounds according to the invention are applied to the soil surface before germination, either the emergence of the weed seedlings is prevented completely or the weeds grow to the cotyledon stage but then stop their growth and finally die completely at the end of three to four weeks.

If the active compounds are applied to the green parts of plants by the post-emergence method, a drastic stop in growth likewise occurs very rapidly after the treatment and the weed plants remain in the growth stage existing at the time of application or die completely after a certain period of time, 80 that weed competition, which is harmful to the crop plants, is eliminated very early and lastingly in this manner.

Although the compounds according to the invention have an excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledon and dicotyledon weeds, crop plants of economically important crops, such as, for example, wheat, barley, rye, rice, maize, sugar beet, cotton and soya, are harmed only insignificantly or not at all. For these reasons, the present compounds are particularly suitable for selective control of undesirable plant growth in agricultural crop plantations.

The substances according to the invention furthermore have out8tAn~; ng growth regulatory properties in crop plants. They intervene in the endogenous metabolism of the plants in a regulating manner and can therefore be employed for controlled influencing of plant contents and for facilitating harvesting, such as, for example, by inducing desiccation and stunted growth. They are fur-thermore also suitable for general control and inhibition of undesirable vegetative growth without killing the plants at the same time. Inhibition of vegetative growth CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 plays a major rôle in many monocotyledon and dicotyledon crops, since lodging can be reduced or prevented com-pletely by this means.

The compounds according to the invention can be used in the customary formulation~ in the form of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, sprayable solutions, dusting powders or granules. The invention therefore also relates to herbicidal and plant growth-regulating compo-sitions which comprise the compounds of the formula (I).

The compounds of the formula (I) can be formulated in various ways, depen~;ng on the biological and/or chemico-physical parameters which exist. Suitable formulation possibilities are, for example: wettable powders (WP), water-soluble powders (SP), water-soluble concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW), such as oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, Aprayable solutions, suspension concentrates (SC), oil- or water-based dispersions, oil-miscible solutions, capsule suspensions (CS), dusting powders (DP), seed dressing~, granules for application by scattering and to the soil, granuleA (GR) in the form of microgranules, sprayed granules, absorption granules and adsorption granules, water-dispersible granules (WG), water-soluble granule~
(SG), ULV formulations, microcapsules and waxes.

The~e individual types of formulation are known in principle and are described, for example, in: Winnacker-Ruchler, "Chemische Technologie (Chemical technology)", Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag Munich, 4th edition 1986, Wade van Valkenburg, "Pesticide Formulation~", Marcel Dekker, N.Y., 1973; R. Martens, "Spray Dryingn, Handbook, 3rd edition 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd. London.

The necessary formulating auxiliaries, such as inert materials, surfactants, solvent~ and further additives, are likewise known and are described, for example, in:
Watkins, "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 Carriers", 2nd edition, Darland Books, Caldwell N.J., H.v. Olphen, "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry";

Verlagsgesell., Stuttgart 1976; Winnacker-Ruchler, "Chemische Technologie (Chemical technology)", Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag Munich, 4th edition 1986.

Combinations with other substances having a pesticidal action, such as, for example, insecticides, acaricides, herbicides and fungicides, and with safeners, fertilizers and/or growth regulators, can also be prepared on the basis of these formulations, for example in the form of a ready-to-use formulation or as a tank mix.

Wettable powders are preparations which are uniformly dispersible in water and which, alongside the active compound, and in addition to a diluent or inert sub-stance, also comprise surfactants of an ionic and/or nonionic nature (wetting agents, dispersing agents), for example polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols, polyoxyethylated fatty amines, fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfates, alkanesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonate, sodium dibutyl-naphthalene-sulfonate or sodium oleylmethyltauride. To prepare the wettable powders, for example, the herbicidal active compounds are finely ground in customary appar-atuses, such as hammer mills, blast mills and air jet mills, and are mixed with the formulating auxiliaries at the same time or subsequently.

Emulsifiable concentrates are prepared by dissolving the active compound in an organic solvent, for example CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 butanol, cycloh~Ano~e, dimethylformamide, xylene or also higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons or mixtures of organic solvents, with the addition of one or more surfactants of an ionic and/or nonionic nature (emul-sifiers). Emulsifiers which can be used are, for example:calcium alkylarylsulfonates, such as Ca dodecylbenzene-sulfonate, or nonionic emulsifiers, such as fatty acid polyglycol esters, alkylarylpolyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide/ethylene oxide co~nQation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan esters, such as, for example, sorbitan fatty acid esters, or polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters.

Dusting powders are obtained by gr;n~;ng the active compound with finely divided solid substances, for example talc, naturally occurring clays, such as kaolin, bentonite and pyrophyllite, or diatomaceous earth.

Suspension concentrates can be water- or oil-based. They can be prepared, for example, by wet gr;n~;ng by means of commercially available bead mills and, if appropriate, with the addition of surfactants, such as are already listed above, for example, for the other types of formu-lation.

Emulsions, for example oil-in-water emulsions (EW), can be prepared, for example, by means of stirrers, colloid mills and/or static mixers using aqueous organic solvents and if appropriate surfactants, such as are already listed above, for example, for the other types of formu-lation.

Granules can be prepared either by spraying the active compound onto adsorptive granular inert material or by applying active compound concentrates to the surface of carrier substances, such as sand, kaolinites or granular inert material, by means of adhesives, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or else mineral CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 oils. Suitable active compounds can also be granulated in the manner customary for the preparation of fertilizer granules - if desired as a mixture with fertilizers.

Water-dispersible granules are as a rule prepared by customary processes, such as spray drying, fluidized bed granulation, disk granulation, m;Ying with high-speed mixers and extrusion, without a solid inert material.
For the preparation of disk, fluidized bed, extruder and sprayed granules cf., for example, processes in "Spray-Drying Handbook" 3rd edition 1979. G. Goodwin Ltd., London; J.E. BLo~--ni~g~ "Agglomeration", Chemical and Engineering 1967, pages 147 et seq; "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th edition, McGraw-Hill, New York 1973, pages 8-57.

For further details on the formulation of plant protec-tion agents cf., for example, G.C. Rlingman, "Weed Control as a Science", John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1961, pages 81-96 and J.D. Freyer, S.A. Evans, "Weed Control Handbook", 5th edition, Blackwell Scien-tific Publications, Oxford, 1968, pages 101-103.

The agrochemical formulations as a rule comprise 0.1 to 99 % by weight, in particular 0.1 to 95 % by weight, of active compound of the formula (I). In wettable powders, the active compound concentration is, for example, about 10 to 90 % by weight, the remainder to make up 100 % by weight comprising customary formulation constituents. In emulsifiable concentrates, the active compound concentra-tion can be about 1 to 90, preferably 5 to 80 % by weight. Dust-like formulations comprise 1 to 30 % by weight of active compound, preferably usually 5 to 20 %
by weight of active compound, and sprayable solutions comprise about 0.05 to 80, preferably 2 to 50 % by weight of active compound. In water-dispersible granules, the active compound content partly depends on whether the active compound is present in liquid or solid form and what granulating auxiliaries, fillers and the like are CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 used. In water-dispersible granules, the content of active compound is, for example, between 1 and 95 % by weight, preferably between 10 and 80 % by weight.

In addition, the active compound formulations mentioned comprise, if appropriate, the particular customary tackifiers, wetting agents, dispersing agents, emul-sifiers, penetration agent~, preservatives, antifreezes and solvents, fillers, carrier substances and dyestuffs, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors and agents which influence the pH and viscosity.

Rnown active compounds such as are described, for example, in Weed Research 26, 441-445 (1986), or "The Pesticide Manual", 9th edition, The British Crop Protec-tion Council, 1990/91, Bracknell, England, and literature mentioned therein can be employed, for example, as combination partners for the active compounds according to the invention in mixture formulations or in a tank mix.

For use, the formulations in the commercially available form are diluted in the customary manner, if appropriate, for example by means of water in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and water-dispersible granules. Dust-like formulations, soil or scattering granules and sprayable solutions are usually not diluted further with additional inert sub-stances before use.

The required amount of compounds of the formula (I) to be applied varies with the outdoor conditions, such as temperature and humidity, the nature of the herbicide used and the like. It can ~ary within wide limits, for CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 example between 0.001 and 10.0 kg/ha or more of active substance, but is preferably between 0.005 and 5 kg/ha.

C. Biological examples 1. Action on weeds by the pre-emergence method Seeds or pieces of rhizome of monocotyledon and dicotyledon weed plants are laid out in sandy loam soil in plastic pots and covered with soil. The compounds according to the invention, formulated in the form of wettable powders or emulsion concentrates, are then applied to the surface of the covering soil as an aqueous suspension or emulsion in various dosages with an amount of water applied, when converted, of 600 to 800 l/ha.

After the treatment, the pots are placed in a greenhouse and are kept under good growth conditions for the weeds.
The plant damage or emergence damage is rated visually after emergence of the test plants after a test period of 3 to 4 weeks in comparison with untreated controls. As the test results show, the compounds according to the invention have a good herbicidal pre-emergence activity against a broad spectrum of graminaceous weeds and broad-CA 022046l0 l997-0~-06 leaved weeds. For example, the compounds of Examples 1-204, 3-1, 3-13, 3-35, 3-40, 3-43, 3-47, 3-48, 3-103, 3-108, 3-168, 3-186, 3-191, 3-204, 3-209, 3-240, 3-258 and 3-294 from Tables 1 and 3 have a very good herbicidal action against harmful plants such as Sinapis alba, Chrysanthemum segetum, Avena sativa, Stellaria media, Echinochloa crus-galli, Lolium multiflorum, Setaria spp., Abutilon theophrasti, Amaranthus retroflexus and Panicum miliaceum in the pre-emergence method when applied in an amount of 0.3 kg or less of active ~ubstance per hectare.

2. Action on weeds by the post-emergence method Seeds or pieces of rhizome of mono- and dicotyledon weeds are laid out in sandy loam soil in plastic pots, covered with soil and grown in a greenhouse under good growth conditions. Three weeks after sowing, the test plants are treated in the trifoliate stage. The compounds according to the invention, formulated as wettable powders or as emulsion concentrates, are sprayed onto the green parts of the plants in various dosages with an amount of water applied, when converted, of 600 to 800 l/ha. After the test plants have stood in the greenhouse under optimum growth conditions for about 3 to 4 weeks, the action of the preparations is rated visually in comparison with untreated controls. The compositions according to the invention also have a good herbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of economically important graminaceous weeds and broad-leaved weeds in the post-emergence method. For example, the compounds of Examples 1-204, 3-1, 3-13, 3-35, 3-40, 3-43, 3-47, 3-48, 3-103, 3-108, 3-168, 3-186, 3-191, 3-204, 3-209, 3-240, 3-258 and 3-294 from Tables 1 and 3 have a very good herbicidal action against harmful plants such as Sinapis alba, Stellaria media, Echinochloa crus-galli, Lolium multiflorum, Chrysanthemum segetum, Setaria spp., Abutilon theophrasti, Amaranthus retroflexus, Panicum miliaceum and Avena sativa in the post-emergence method when applied in an amount of 0.3 kg or less of active CA 02204610 1997-0~-06 ., substance per hectare.

3. Crop plant tolerance ~

In further experiments in the greenhouse, seeds of a relatively large number of crop plants and weeds are laid out in sandy loam soil and covered with soil. Some of the pots are treated immediately as described under Section 1, and the others are placed in a greenhouse until the plants had developed two to three true leaves, and are then sprayed with the substances of the formula (I) according to the invention in various dosages as described under Section 2. Four to five weeks after the application and 8t~n~ i ng time in the greenhouse, it is found by visual rating that the compounds according to the invention leave dicotyledonous crops such as, for example, soya, cotton, rape, sugar beet and potatoes, unharmed by the pre- and post-emergence methods even at high dosages of active compound. Some substances further-more also protect graminaceous crops, such as, forexample, barley, wheat, rye, sorghum, millet, maize or rice. Some of the compounds of the formula (I) have a high selectivity and are therefore suitable for control-ling undesirable plant growth in agricultural crops.
