Example 1 A mixture of N-ethoxycarbonylcyanoacetamide (42 g), triethylorthoformate (40 g) and acetic anhydride (100 ml) is heated at reflux for one hour. The reaction is allowed to stand until cool and then is filtered, washing with ether, to yield a-cyano-ss-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide.
To a-cyano-ss-ethoxy-N-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide (1.2 g), dissolved in about 5 ml of boiling ethanol, is added 0.6 g of 2,6-dimethylaniline. The reaction is refluxed for several hours and then hexane is added. On cooling, the reaction is filtered, and washed with ethanol and ether to give a-cyano-ss-(2,6-dimethylanilino)- N-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide, m.p. 138-140".
A mixture of Q-cyano-P-(2,6-dimethylanilino)-N-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide (1.2 g) and about 10 ml of p-cymene is heated at reflux for about 1.5 hour. After cooling on standing, the crystalline product is collected byfiltering and washing with ether to yield 5-cyano-1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)uracil, m.p. 267-269.
To an ice cold solution of 2.40 g of sodium hydroxide in 70 ml of water is added 14.46 g (0.06 mol) of 5-cyano-1 -(2,6-dimethylphenyl)uracil. Then 100 ml of dichloromethane is added. To this mixture, at 5O, is added 6.6 ml (0.06 mol) of trichloromethane sulfenyl chloride in two volumes of dichloromethane. The mixture is stirred approximately 22 min at 5 . Then the phases are separated and the organic phase is washed with ice cold water. The dichloromethane solution is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and stripped. The residue is triturated with ether/pentane, filtered and dried to obtain the crude product, which is then purified by crystallization to yield 5-cyano-1 (2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-trichloromethanesulfenyluracil, m.p.223-225.5 .

The mixture is cooled and filtered to give 14.01 g of a-cyano-ss(4- trifluoromethylanilino)-N-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide, which is added to about 60 ml of tetralin and heated at reflux for several hours. On formation of precipitate, the mixture is allowed to cool and then filtered, washed with ether, to yield 5-cyano-1 -(4-trichfluoromethyl phenyl)uracil, m.p; 230.5-231.5".

Rice seedlings at the one to two-leaf stage were root drenched (10 ml) or sprayed with the chemical compound under test. Forty-eight hours later the plants were inoculated by cutting off the tips of the leaves with scissors dipped in dispersion of a billion cells/ml (109 cells/ml) of Xanthomonas oryzae. After7 days at 100% relative humidity at 30"C the seedlings were assessed for disease on a 0 - 4 scale, where 0 is no control, 1 is slight control, 2 is fair control, 3 is good control and 4 is complete control. Results are shown in Table I below.
