and the agriculturally useful salts of the compounds of the formula I.

Moreover, the invention relates to - the use of the compounds I as herbicides, - compositions comprising the compounds I as herbicidally active substances, 5 - methods for controlling undesirable vegetation using the compounds of the formula I, and - compounds of the formulae III, IV, V and X as intermediates for preparing the compounds I.

He ~ ~ R2 ( I I I ) He ~ ~ R2 ( IV ) He ~ ~ R2 (V) He \ / Rz (g) WO 97/08170 describes 3-(benzoxazol-7-yl)- and 3-(benzothiazol-7-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)uracils as herbicides.
Further 3-(benzothiazol-7-yl)uracils and their use as herbicides and for the desiccation/defoliation of plants are disclosed in WO 97/08171. WO 97/12886 provides, inter alia, certain 3-benzisoxazol-7-yl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimidinediones which are said to have herbicidal and desiccant action. Furthermore, DE-A 197 55 926 discloses benzazol-4-ylpyrimidinediones and the earlier German patent application P 198 52 802.7 discloses derivatives of 3-(benzazol-7-yl)pyrimidinediones.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel herbicidally active compounds which allow better targeted control of undesirable plants than the compounds of the prior art.
We have found that this object is achieved by the benzoxazole derivatives defined at the outset which have, in the 7-position, a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle, attached via a nitrogen atom.
Furthermore, we have found herbicidal compositions comprising the compounds I and having very good herbicidal action. Moreover, we have found processes for preparing these compositions and methods for controlling undesirable vegetation using the compounds I.

a m ' 005050571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 Depending on the substitution pattern, the compounds of the formula I can contain one or more chiral centers, in which case they are present as enantiomer or diastereomer mixtures. The present invention provides both the pure enantiomers or diastereomers and their mixtures.
Suitable agriculturally useful salts are, especially, the salts of those cations or the acid addition salts of those acids whose cations and anions, respectively, do not adversely affect the herbicidal action of the compounds I. Thus, suitable cations are, in particular, the ions of the alkali metals, preferably sodium and potassium, of the alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium, magnesium and barium, and of the transition metals, preferably manganese, copper, zinc and iron, and the ammonium ion which, if desired, may carry one to four C1-C4-alkyl substituents and/or one phenyl or benzyl substituent, preferably diisopropylammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, trimethylbenzylammonium, furthermore phosphonium ions, sulfonium ions, preferably tri(C1-C4-alkyl)sulfonium, and sulfoxonium ions, preferably tri(C1-C4-alkyl)sulfoxonium.
Anions of useful acid addition salts are primarily chloride, bromide, fluoride, hydrogen sulfate, sulfate, dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, phosphate, nitrate, hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, hexafluorosilicate, hexafluorophosphate, benzoate, and the anions of C1-C4-alkanoic acids, preferably formate, acetate, propionate and butyrate. They can be formed by reacting I with an acid of the corresponding anion, preferably of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid.
The organic molecule moieties mentioned in the definition of the substituents R1 to R9 or as radicals on cycloalkyl, phenyl or heterocyclic rings are - like the term halogen - collective terms for individual enumerations of the individual group members. All hydrocarbon chains, i.e. all alkyl, haloalkyl, cyanoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, hydroxycarbonylalkyl, aminocarbonylalkyl, phenylalkyl, heterocyclylalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, alkylthio, haloalkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, haloalkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, haloalkylsulfonyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, cyanoalkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkenylthio, alkenylsulfinyl, alkenylsulfonyl, alkynyl, haloalkynyl, cyanoalkynyl, alkynyloxy, alkynylthio, alkynylsulfinyl and alkynylsulfonyl moieties can be straight-chain or branched.
Halogenated substituents preferably carry one to five identical ' 050/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 or different halogen atoms. The term halogen denotes in each case fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.

The benzoxazoles of the formula I according to the invention can be obtained by different routes, for example by condensing a substituted 2-aminophenol of the formula III with carbonic acid or carboxylic acid derivatives:
Carbonic R1 R1 acid or Het R2 carboxylic Het ~ ~ Rz \ ~ acid derivative O ~N
HO NH ~I(2 (III) (I) The condensations of bifunctional 2-aminophenols with carbonic acid or carboxylic acid derivatives can be carried out in a manner known per se (cf., for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, Vol. EBc, 1st Edition 1994, pp. 247-284; Vol. EBb, 1st Edition 1994, pp.
881-901; Vol. EBa, 1st Edition 1993, pp. 1032-1078). Preferred carbonic acid or carboxylic acid derivatives are the corresponding esters, anhydrides, acid chlorides, ortho esters, diimides, nitriles, imido esters, trichloromethyl-substituted compounds, isocyanates and their thio analogs.
Suitable solvents/diluents are, in particular, organic solvents, for example aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene and o-, m- or p-xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and dichloroethane, lower alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, aliphatic or cyclic ethers, such as dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, carbonic acid esters, such as ethyl acetate, or aprotic polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide.
If desired, the reaction can be accelerated by addition of catalytic amounts of an acid. Suitable acids are, in particular, mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acids, or sulfonic acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, or their salts with nitrogen bases, such as, for example, pyridine. The amount of acid is preferably from 0.01 to 5 mold, based on the amount of III.
The reaction temperatures are preferably from 20°C to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture in question, in particular from 60°C to reflux temperature.

0~5U/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 The carbonic acid or carboxylic acid derivative is either used in approximately stoichiometric amounts or in excess. In suitable cases, it may also be possible to use a relatively large excess or to work without solvent. Preference is given to approximately stoichiometric amounts or an excess of up to 10 molar equivalents, based on the amount of III.
The substituted 2-aminophenols III are advantageously obtained by reducing the corresponding 2-nitrophenols IV (cf., for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, Vol. XI/1, 4th Edition 1957, p. 431 ff.):

Het RZ Het R2 Reduction (IV) (III) Suitable reducing agents are, in particular, - elemental metals, such as iron, tin and zinc, - hydrogen in the presence of suitable catalysts, such as palladium or platinum on carbon or Raney nickel, or - complex hydrides, such as LiAlH4 and NaBH4, if appropriate in the presence of catalysts.
Suitable solvents are usually - depending on the reducing agent -carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid and propionic acid, mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, ethers, such as diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, aromatic compounds, such as benzene and toluene, and mixtures of such solvents.
The reactions can be carried out at temperatures of from (-100)~C
to the boiling point of the reaction mixture in question.
The starting materials are usually employed in approximately stoichiometric amounts; however, in individual cases a multiple excess of one or the other component may be advantageous.
The 2-nitrophenols of the formula IV can be released from protected precursors which have a cleavable radical R at the phenol oxygen. Suitable radicals R are groups which protect the phenol group as ether, ester or carbonic acid derivative, for example alkyl, O-heterocyclyl, benzyl, alkylcarbonyl, arylcarbonyl or alkoxycarbonyl groups. Suitable radicals R and methods for their cleavage are known to the person skilled in the art, for example from Greene/Wuts: Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 2nd Edition 1991, p. 145 ff. and p.
279 ff.

Het ~ ~ R2 Het ~ ~ R2 Cleaving R-O N02 reagent HO N02 (IVa) (IV) Suitable cleaving reagents are, in particular:
- in the case of unsubstituted or substituted alkylphenols:
trimethylsilyl iodide, boron tribromide, boron trichloride, aluminum trichloride, lithium chloride or hydrogen bromide;
- in the case of unsubstituted or substituted benzylphenols:
boron trifluoride, hydrofluoric acid or hydrogen/catalyst, preferably noble metal catalysts, such as palladium or platinum;
- in the case of unsubstituted or substituted aryl esters:
sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid, ammonia, hydrazine or zinc.
The chosen solvent/diluent should preferably be inert to the cleaving reagent in question. If the halides trimethylsilyl iodide, boron tribromide, boron trichloride or aluminum trichloride are used, particular preference is given to halogenated solvents, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and dichloroethane. Hydrogen bromide is preferably used in aqueous solution, very particularly preferably as a 48~
by weight strength solution; lithium chloride is preferably used in polar solvents, such as lower alcohols, dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide; hydrogenolytic methods are preferably carried out in lower alcohols or carboxylic acids, if appropriate with addition of a hydrogen transfer agent, such as cyclohexene or cyclohexadiene. Mineral bases or mineral acids and nitrogen bases are preferably used in aqueous medium. Depending on the solubility of the reagents, an organic solvent, such as, for example, a lower alcohol, is added, if appropriate.
The temperature for the cleavage reaction is preferably from O~C
to the boiling point of the reaction mixture in question.
The cleaving reagent is preferably employed in approximately stoichiometric amounts or in excess. The excess is particularly preferably between 1 and 10 molar equivalents, based on the amount of IVa.
Both the compounds of the formula IV and the compounds of the formula IVa can be prepared by nucleophilic exchange of the fluorine atom in 2-nitrofluorobenzenes of the formula V for an oxygen nucleophile R'Oe. Here, R' is hydrogen or one of the cleavable radicals R defined above. Whether the route via a protected derivative IVa is chosen or the 2-nitrophenol can be prepared directly from the 2-nitrofluorobenzene by exchange of fluorine for hydroxide depends on the stability of the radicals R1, RZ and Het in the compounds V.

For this reaction, the following reagents are preferred reactants:
- for the exchange of F for OR: potassium benzoate, sodium nitrite, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, benzaldoxime, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide, sodium trimethylsilanoate, dimethyl maleate, N-hydroxysuccinimide.

~
~ 0050/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 - for the exchange of F for OH: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide.
In certain cases, the reactions can be carried out in the absence 5 of solvent/diluent. If a solvent/diluent is employed, preference is given to those in which the oxygen-group-transferring reagent is readily soluble. Particular preference is given to alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol or tert-butanol, aprotic polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, cyclic 10 ethers, such as dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, or aliphatic ethers, such as dimethoxyethane.
The reaction temperatures are preferably from 20~C to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture in question, in particular 15 from 60~C to reflux temperature.
The oxygen-transferring reagent is either employed in approximately stoichiometric amounts or in excess. In suitable cases, it may also be possible to use a very large excess.
20 Preference is given to approximately stoichiometric amounts or an excess of up to 10 molar equivalents, based on the amount of V.
The novel 2-nitrofluorobenzenes from V can be obtained in a manner known per se by reacting fluorobenzenes VI with nitrating 25 agents, i.e. N02+ transfer reagents (cf., for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, Vol. 10/1, 1971, p. 479 ff.):

(VI) (V) Suitable nitrating agents are, in particular, nitric acid, in a mixture with sulfuric acid or acetic anhydride, or nitronium salts, specially nitronium tetrafluoroborate. The mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid may comprise the two mixing partners in any ratio; preference is given to those mixtures in which the sulfuric acid predominates significantly or serves as solvent. This applies analogously to the mixture of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is preferably used in aprotic polar solvents, for example in acetonitrile or nitromethane.

The reaction temperature is generally from (-80) to 80~C, in particular from (-20)~C to 30~C.
In the case of nitrations with the reagent nitric acid, the reaction is carried out using an approximately equimolar amount or particularly preferably an excess of nitrating agent. The excess may exceed the amount of VI by a large amount. Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is preferably used in an amount which is equimolar to that of the substrate, or in a small excess of from 1.1 to 1.5 molar equivalents.
The substituted fluorobenzenes of the formula VI can be prepared by customary syntheses for heterocycles or carbocycles, starting with known 2-aminofluorobenzenes VII or 2-fluorophenylhydrazines of the formula VIIa (scheme 1).

Of course, it is also possible to carry out the synthesis sequence VII - VI - V - IV - III shown above using the corresponding amino compounds IIIa, IVb, IVc and Va (Scheme 2).

It is also possible to synthesize the radical Het in the compounds I from 7-aminobenzoxazoles of the formula VIII (Scheme 3). The compounds of formula VIII are disclosed e.g. in WO 97/08170.

(IX) (X) R3 (I) Het, R1, R2 and R3 in scheme 4 have the meanings mentioned above.
X is here a single bond. According to scheme 4, the anilines of formula IX, which are disclosed in the art, e.g. in WO 97/07104, are converted into the phenylazides of formula X by successive nitrosation into the diazonium compounds and subsequent reaction with an azide, the phenylazides being afterwards converted into the oxazoles of formula I, in which X is a single bond, by reac-ting X with a carboxylic acid of the formula R3COOH. The synthesis shown in scheme 4 is in a similar manner as the conversion of an-ilines into benzoxazoles being described in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Band EBa, 1993, S. 1087 ff. The azides of formula I are new and also subject of the present invention.
The diazonium salt of IX is prepared in a known manner, by reac-ting the aniline IX with a nitrite, e.g. sodium nitrite, potas-sium nitrite, in an aqueous acid solution, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, or sulfuric acid or by reacting X with a nitrite, e.g. tert-butyl nitrite or isopentyl nitrite in anhy-drous conditions, e.g. in glacial acetic acid containing hydroch-loric acid, in absolute alcohol, in dioxane or tetrahydrofurane, in acetonitrile or acetone. Conversion of the diazonium compounds into the arylazides takes place by reacting the diazonium com-pounds with an alkali azide or alkaline earth azide, e.g. sodium azide, or by reaction with trimethylsilylazide (see also: Organic Synthesis, Bd. IV, S. 75 and Bd. V, S. 829).
The reaction of azide compounds of the formula X with carboxylic acid R3-COON takes place in an inert organic solvent, e.g. in hy-drocarbons such as toluene or hexane, in halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane or chloroform, in ethers such as diethy-lether, dimethoxyethane, methyl-tert-butylether, dioxane or te-trahydrofurane, in amides such as dimethyl formamide, dimethyla-cet amide or N-methyl pyrrolidon, in acetonitril, or preferably without solvent in an excess of carboxylic acid R19COOH. In the latter case, the addition of a mineralic acid, such as phosphoric ~ ~ ~~SU/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 acid and/or of a silylating reagent, such as a mixture of phosp-horous pentoxide and hexamethyldisiloxane can be helpful. The reaction takes place preferably at elevated temperatures, such as the boiling point of the reaction mixture.
The examples to follow shall furter describe the invention without restricting it.

The compounds I and their agriculturally useful salts are suitable as herbicides, both in the form of isomer mixtures and in the form of the pure isomers. The herbicidal compositions ~

which comprise I effect very good control of vegetation on non-crop areas, especially at high rates of application. In crops such as wheat, rice, maize, Soya and cotton, they act against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds without inflicting substantial damage to the crop plants. This effect is observed mainly at low rates of application.
Depending on the application method in question, the compounds I, or herbicidal compositions comprising them, can also be employed in a further number of crop plants for eliminating undesirable plants. Examples of suitable crops are the following:
Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Arachis hypogaea, Asparagus °fficinalis, Beta vulgaris spec. altissima, Beta vulgaris spec.
rapa, Brassica napus var. napus, Brassica napus var.
napobrassica, Brassica rapa var. silvestris, Camellia sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius, Carya illinoinensis, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Coffea arabica (Coffea canephora, Coffea liberica), Cucumis sativus, Cynodon dactylon, Daucus carota, Elaeis guineensis, Fragaria vesca, Glycine max, Gossypium hirsutum, (Gossypium arboreum, Gossypium herbaceum, Gossypium vitifolium), Helianthus annuus, Hevea brasiliensis, Hordeum vulgare, Humulus lupulus, Ipomoea batatas, Juglans regia, Lens culinaris, Linum usitatissimum, Lycopersicon lycopersicum, Malus spec., Manihot esculenta, Medicago sativa, Musa spec., Nicotiana tabacum (N.rustica), Olea europaea, Oryza sativa, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Pinus spec., Pisum sativum, Prunus avium, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Ribes sylvestre, Ricinus communis, Saccharum officinarum, Secale cereale, Solanum tuberosum, Sorghum bicolor (s. vulgare), Theobroma cacao, Trifolium pratense, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Vicia faba, Vitis vinifera and Zea mays.
In addition, the compounds I can also be used in crops which, by means of breeding, including genetic engineering methods, have been made tolerant to the action of herbicides.
The active ingredients I, or the herbicidal compositions, may be applied pre- or post-emergence. If the active ingredients are less well tolerated by certain crop plants, application techniques may be used in which the herbicidal compositions are sprayed, with the aid of the spraying equipment, in such a way that they come in as little contact as possible, if any, with the leaves of the sensitive crop plants while reaching the leaves of ~ ~ 0050/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 undesirable plants which grow underneath, or the bare soil surface (post-directed, lay-by).
The compounds I, or the herbicidal compositions comprising them, can be used, for example, in the form of directly sprayable aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, also highly concentrated aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, materials for spreading or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading or pouring.
The use forms depend on the intended purposes; in any case, they should ensure the finest possible distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention.
Suitable inert auxiliaries are essentially: mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point such as kerosine and diesel oil, furthermore coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg. paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes and their derivatives, alkylated benzenes and their,derivatives, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and cyclohexanol, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, eg.
amines such as N-methylpyrrolidone, and water.
Aqueous use forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, suspensions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substituted benzoxazoles, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and these concentrates are suitable for dilution with water.
Suitable surfactants are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acid, eg, ligno-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, of alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, of alkyl sulfates, lauryl ether sulfates and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols, and of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene or of the naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonylphenol, alkylphenyl polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ether, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, ~ ~ 0~5~/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetate, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors or methylcellulose.
Powders, materials for spreading and dusts can be prepared by mixing or binding the active substances together with a solid carrier. Granules, eg. coated granules, impregnated granules and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths such as silicas, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas, and products of vegetable origin such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powders, or other solid carriers.
The concentration of the active ingredients I in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within wide ranges. In general, the formulations comprise approximately from 0.001 to 98~ by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 95~ by weight, of at least one active Ingredient. The active ingredients are employed in a purity of from 90~ to 100, preferably 95~ to 100 (in accordance with NMR
spectra).

III. 20 parts by weight of Active ingredient of example 3 are dissolved in a mixture composed of 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction of boiling point 210 to 280~C and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil.
pouring the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water and finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous dispersion which comprises 0.02$ by weight of the active ingredient.
IV' 20 parts by weight of Active ingredient of example 4 are mixed thoroughly with 3 parts by weight of sodium diisobutylnaphthalenesulfonate, 17 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a lignosulfonic acid from a sulfite waste liquor and 60 parts by weight of pulverulent silica gel, and the mixture is ground in a hammer mill. Finely distributing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water gives a spray mixture which comprises 0.1~ by weight of the active ingredient.
V. 3 parts by weight of Active ingredient of example 1 are mixed with 97 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin.
This gives a dust which comprises 3~ by weight of the ac-tive ingredient.
VI. 20 parts by weight of Active ingredient of example 5 are mixed intimately with 2 parts by weight of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 8 parts by weight of fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, 2 parts by weight of sodium salt of a phenol/urea/formaldehyde condensate and 68 parts by weight of a paraffinic mineral oil. This gives a stable oily dispersion.
VII. 1 part by weight of Active ingredient of example 6 is dis-solved in a mixture composed of 70 parts by weight of cy-clohexanone, 20 parts by weight of ethoxylated isooctylphe-nol and 10 parts by weight of ethoxylated castor oil. This gives a stable emulsion concentrate.
VIII. 1 part by weight of Active ingredient of example 1 is dissolved in a mixture composed of 80 parts by weight of cyclohexanone and 20 parts by weight of Wettol~ EM 31 (_ nonionic emulsifier based on ethoxylated castor oil; BASF
AG). This gives a stable emulsion concentrate.

0~5U/50571 CA 02381639 2002-02-11 To widen the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic effects, the substituted benzoxazoles I may be mixed with a large number of representatives of other groups of herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredients and applied jointly.
5 Suitable components for mixtures are, for example, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, amides, aminophosphoric acid and its derivatives, aminotriazoles, anilides, (het)-aryloxyalkanoic acids and their derivatives, benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 10 2-aroyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones, hetaryl aryl ketones, benzylisoxazolidinones, meta-CF3-phenyl derivatives, carbamates, quinolinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, chloroacetanilides, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives, diazines, dichloropropionic acid and its derivatives, dihydrobenzofurans, 15 dihydrofuran-3-ones, dinitroanilines, dinitrophenols, diphenyl ethers, dipyridyls, halocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, ureas, 3-phenyluracils, imidazoles, imidazolinones, N-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides, oxadiazoles, oxiranes, phenols, aryloxy- and heteroaryloxyphenoxypropionic esters, phenylacetic 20 acid and its derivatives, phenylpropionic acid and its derivatives, pyrazoles, phenylpyrazoles, pyridazines, pyridinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, pyrimidyl ethers, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, triazines, triazinones, triazolinones, triazolecarboxamides and uracils.
Furthermore, it may be advantageous to apply the compounds I, alone or in combination with other herbicides, also as a mixture with other crop protection agents, for example with pesticides or agents for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Also of interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are employed for remedying nutritional and trace-element deficiencies. Nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added. Depending on the control target, the season, the target plants and the growth stage, the rates of application of active ingredient are from 0.001 to 3.0, preferably 0.01 to 1.0, kg/ha active substance (a.s.).
Use Examples The herbicidal activity of compounds of formula I according to the invention was demonstrated by the following greenhouse expe-riments:
Plastic pots were used as culture containers, containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0~ of humus as substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately according to their species.

For the pre-emergence treatment, the active compounds were sus-pended or emulsified in water and were applied directly after so-wing by means of finely distributing nozzles. The containers were irrigated gently to promote germination and growth and subse-quently covered with plastic hoods until the plants had rooted.
This cover causes uniform germination of the test plants, unless this was adversely affected by the active compound.
For the post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on the plant habit, and then treated with the active compounds which had been suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants were either sown directly and grown in the same containers, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to the treatment. The application rate for the post-emergence treatment was 31.2, 15.6 or 7.81 g/ha of active substance.
Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10-25~C or 20-35~C. The test period extended over 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended, and their response to the individual treatments was evaluated.
Evaluation was carried out using a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants, or complete destruction of at least the above-ground parts, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of growth.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments were of the following species:
