However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
The compounds according to the invention are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total control of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and railway tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings.
Equally, the compounds can be employed for controlling weeds in perennial cultures, for example forests, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, on lawns, turf and pasture-land, and for the selective control of weeds in annual cultures.
The compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are suitable in particular for selectively controlling monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in monocotyledonous crops, both pre-emergence and post-emergence.
The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspo-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.
These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents.

for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latexes, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyes, such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

A mixture of 8.1 g (27 mmol) of ethyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-crotonate, 7.5 g of potassium carbonate and 100 ml of N-methyl-pyrrolidone is heated for one hour using a water separator. 7.0 g (27 mmol) of N-(5-cyano-2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-O-ethyl-urethane are then added, and the reaction mixture is stirred at 130°C for another 4 hours. After -cooling to room temperature, the mixture is diluted with approximately identical amounts by volume of water and ethyl acetate to about four times its original volume and acidified to approximately pH 3 using concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is shaken well and the organic phase is then separated off and the aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. The solvent is carefully distilled off from the filtrate using water pump vacuum.
This gives 5.1 g (54% of theory) of 1-(5-cyano-2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-1 (2H)-pyrimidine.

After addition of 0.6 g (3 mmol) of 1-amino-oxy-2,4-dinitro-benzene, the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 5 Le A 32 055-Foreign countries hours. After addition of a further 0.6 g (3 mmol) ) of 1-aminooxy-2,4-dinitro-benzene, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for another three days.
The mixture is diluted with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried using sodium sulphate and filtered with suction through silica gel. The filtrate is concentrated under water pump vacuum and the residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate).
This gives 0.4 g (20% of theory) of 3-amino-1-(5-cyano-2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2,6-dioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-1 (2H)-pyrimidine of melting point 198°C.

After addition of a further 0.2 g of dimethyl sulphate, the mixture is heated under reflux for a further 3 hours and, after addition of a further 0.5 ml of dimethyl sulphate, for another 18 hours. The mixture is then concentrated under water pump vacuum. The residue is shaken with water/ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried with sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under water pump vacuum, the residue is crystallized by digestion with diisopropyl ether and the product is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 0:6 g (24% of theory) of 1-(S-cyano-2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2,6 dioxo-3-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1 (2H)-pyrimidine of melting point 161 °C.
