  • The selectivity of these known herbicides with respect to the weeds is, however, satisfactory only to a limited extent, so that it is an object of the present invention to provide novel herbicidal compounds with which the weeds can be selectively controlled more effectively than in the past (and which are well tolerated by the crops). [0031]
  • We have found that this object is achieved by the substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib defined at the outset. [0032]
  • We have also found herbicides which contain these substances and have a good herbicidal action. They are tolerated and hence selective in broad-leaved crops and in monocotyledon plants which are not members of the Gramineae. [0033]
  • The novel compounds I, Ia and Ib are also suitable as defoliants or desiccants in, for example, cotton, potato, rape, sunflower, soybean or field beans. Some compounds I can also be used for controlling pests, in particular insects. [0034]

  • Compounds I in which X[0066] 1 and X2 are each oxygen, R1 is halogen, R2 is hydrogen or fluorine, R3 and R4 are each C1-C6-alkyl or partially or completely- halogenated C1- or C2-alkyl and R5 is hydrogen, or R4 and R5 together form a tetramethylene chain, are very particularly preferred.
  • The substituted [0067] 3-phenyluracils are obtainable by various methods, preferably by one of the following processes:
  • a) Cyclization of an enamine ester of the formula II or of an enamine-carboxylate of the formula III [0068]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00014
  • L[0069] 1 is low molecular weight alkyl, preferably C1-C4-alkyl, or phenyl.
  • As a rule, the reaction is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, preferably in the presence of a base. [0070]
  • Suitable solvents or diluents are inert aprotic organic solvents, for example aliphatic or cyclic ethers, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene and xylenes, and inert polar organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, or water, and the polar solvents may also be used as a mixture with a nonpolar hydrocarbon, such as n-hexane. [0071]
  • Preferred bases are alkali metal alcoholates, in particular sodium alcoholates, such as sodium methylate, and sodium ethylate, alkali metal hydroxides, in particular sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates, in particular sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and alkali metal hydrides, in particular sodium hydride. [0072]
  • When sodium hydride is used, the solvent is particularly preferably an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as tetrahydrofuran, as well as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. [0073]
  • The amount of base is preferably from 0.5 to 2 times the molar amount, based on the amount of II or III. [0074]
  • In general, a reaction temperature of −78° C. to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, in particular from −60 to 60° C., is advisable. [0075]
  • Depending on the nature of the base used, products I in which R[0076] 3 is hydrogen are present, after the cyclization, in the form of the corresponding metal salt of the general formula Ic
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00015
  • (M[0077] =one equivalent of a metal ion, in particular an alkali metal ion, such as sodium), for example in the form of the corresponding alkali metal salt in the case of the abovementioned preferred bases containing an alkali metal. The salt can be isolated and purified in a conventional manner, for example by recrystallization.
  • Products I in which R[0078] 3 is hydrogen are obtained by acidifying the reaction mixture obtained after the cyclization, for example with hydrochloric acid.
  • b) Alkylation or acylation of a substituted 3-phenyl-uracil I in which R[0079] 3 is hydrogen
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00016
  • The alkylation is usually carried out with a halide, preferably with the chloride or bromide, or with the sulfate of an alkane, of an alkene, of an alkyne, of a cycloalkane, of a cyanoalkane, of a haloalkane, of a phenylalkane or of an alkoxyalkane. [0080]
  • Examples of suitable acylating agents are formyl halides, alkanecarbonyl halides or alkoxycarbonyl halides, the chlorides and bromides being preferred in each case. [0081]
  • The alkylation is advantageously carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent and of a base, for example in a protic solvent, such as a lower alcohol, preferably ethanol, if necessary as a mixture with water, or in an aprotic solvent, such as an aliphatic or cyclic ether, preferably 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, an aliphatic ketone, preferably acetone, an amide, preferably dimethylformamide, or a sulfoxide, preferably dimethyl sulfoxide. [0082]
  • Examples of suitable bases are alcoholates, such as sodium methylate, sodium ethylate and potassium tert-butylate, hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, carbonates, such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and alkali metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride. [0083]
  • In a particularly preferred embodiment, the cyclization product (method a) present as a salt is alkylated without prior isolation from the reaction mixture, and in this case excess base, for example sodium hydride, a sodium alcoholate or sodium carbonate, originating from the cyclization of the compound II or III may also be present. However, this base has no adverse effect; if desired, a further amount of the diluent which was also used for the cyclization of the compound II or III may also be added. [0084]
  • The acylation with a halide can be carried out in a similar manner, the reaction particularly preferably being carried out in this case in an aprotic solvent and in the presence of sodium hydride as base. [0085]
  • The reaction temperature is in general from 0 to about 100° C., preferably from 0 to 40° C. [0086]
  • If they cannot be prepared directly by the cyclization under basic conditions, described as method [0087]
  • a), the salts of the compounds I in which R[0088] 3 is hydrogen can also be obtained in a conventional manner from the products of the present method d). For this purpose, for example, the substituted 3-phenyluracil I in which R3 is hydrogen is added to the aqueous solution of an inorganic or an organic base. The salt formation usually takes place at a sufficient rate at as low as 20-25° C.
  • It is particularly advantageous to prepare the sodium salt by dissolving the 3-phenyluracil I (R[0089] 3=hydrogen) in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 20-25° C., equivalent amounts of 3-phenyluracil and sodium hydroxide being used. The salt of the 3-phenyluracil can then be isolated, for example, by precipitation with a suitable inert solvent or by evaporating off the solvent.
  • Salts of the 3-phenyluracils whose metal ion is not an alkali metal ion can usually be prepared by double decomposition of the corresponding alkali metal salt in aqueous solution. Water-insoluble metal salts of 3-phenyluracil can generally be prepared in this manner. [0090]
  • c) Substitution of a halogen atom in the phenyl moiety of the substituted 3-phenyluracils I (Rl ═halogen) by the cyano group [0091]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00017
  • Hal is halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine. [0092]
  • The reaction is advantageously carried out in the presence of an aprotic, polar solvent, for example of an alkylnitrile, such as acetonitrile, propionitrile or butyronitrile, of an alkylurea such as N, N, N′, N′-tetra-methylurea, of a dialkylamide, such as dimethylformamide, or of a dialkyl sulfoxide, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, or in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,2-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one, 1,2-dimethyl-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone or hexamethylphosphorotriamide. [0093]
  • The reaction is usually carried out using a metal cyanide, in particular a transition metal cyanide, such as copper(I) cyanide, at elevated temperatures, preferably at from 150 to 250° C. [0094]
  • The starting materials are advantageously used in stoichiometric amounts, but an excess of metal cyanide, for example up to 4 times the molar amount (based on the amount of starting material I in which R[0095] 1 is halogen), may also be advantageous.
  • d) Conversion of a pyrimidinone derivate of the formula IVa or IVb into an enol ether Ia or Ib [0096]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00018
  • Hal is chlorine or bromine; [0097]
  • Me[0098] is one equivalent of a metal ion, in particular of a transition metal ion, of an alkali metal ion, such as sodium or potassium, or of an alkaline earth metal ion, such as potassium or magnesium. Sodium is particularly preferred.
  • The reaction of the pyrimidinone derivatives IVa or IVb with alkanols, alkenols, alkynols (R[0099] 3′—OH) or alkanethiols, alkenethiols or alkynethiols (R3′—SH) is advantageously carried out in the presence of an organic base, pyridine being particularly preferred.
  • The amount of base is not critical; usually, from 0.5 to 2 times the molar amount, based on the amount of IVa or IVb, is sufficient. [0100]
  • The reactions of IVa with H—X[0101] 1—R3′ and of IVb with H—X2—R3′ can be carried out either in the absence of a solvent in an excess of R3′—OH or R3′—SH or in a suitable inert organic solvent, for example in an aromatic, such as toluene or xylene, in an ether, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, or in a halo-hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene.
  • When the compound R[0102] 3′—OH is used, the reaction is preferably carried out in the absence of a solvent, using from 1 to about 150 times the amount, based on the amount of pyrimidinone derivative IVa or IVb, of R3′—OH.
  • In the reaction with a salt of the formula M[0103] O—R3′ or M S—R3′, it is advisable to use equimolar amounts of pyrimidinone derivative and salt, but an excess of the salt of up to about 20 mol % (based on the amount of pyrimidinone derivative) may also be advantageous.
  • A reaction temperature of from 0 to 50° C., preferably from 10 to 30° C., is usually sufficient. [0104]
  • e) Acetalation of a compound I in which W is —C(═O)—R[0105] 8
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00019
  • The acetalation is generally carried out in an inert aprotic organic solvent, for example in an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as diethyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, in an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene or toluene, o-, m-or p-xylene or mesitylene, or in a chlorohydrocarbon, such as methylene chloride, chloroform or chlorobenzene, unless it is effected in the absence of a solvent in an excess of H—X[0106] 3R6, H—X4R7 or H—X3(R6R7)X4—H.
  • Any water of reaction formed can be removed in a conventional manner from the reaction mixture, for example by means of a water separator. [0107]
  • The acetalation is preferably carried out in the presence of an organic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, and/or of a Lewis acid, such as tin tetrachloride, tin(II) chloride, iron(III) chloride, tellurium tetrachloride or boron trifluoroetherate, or of a suitable catalyst, such as montmorillonite K [0108] 10, the amount of acid usually being from 0.5 to 100 mol %, based on the amount of starting material to be acetalated.
  • The ratios are not critical. For complete conversion, all reactants are used in about a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess of H—X[0109] 3R6 and H—X4R7 or H—X3 (R6R7)X4—H is preferably used.
  • If the starting materials H—X[0110] 3R6 and H—X4R7 or H—X3 (R6R7)X4—H are used simultaneously as diluents, they are present in a larger excess.
  • The reactions are carried out in general at from −78 to 180° C., preferably from −40 to 150° C. [0111]
  • If product mixtures are obtained, for example when R[0112] 6 and R7 do not form a common radical and X3R6 and X4R7 are not identical, they can, if desired, be purified and separated by conventional methods, such as crystallization and chromatography.
  • In particular, compounds of the formula I where W is —C(R[0113] 8)(X3R6)(X4R7), R6 and R7 do not form a common radical and X3R6 and X4R7 are not identical can also be prepared by other methods known from the literature (cf. for example Tetrahedron Lett. 32 (1991), 467-470, and the literature cited there).
  • In some cases it may also be advantageous to carry out the acetalation via the circuitous route of acetalation to give the dialkyl acetal, preferably dimethyl acetal, and subsequent transacetalation in the presence of a suitable catalyst. The solvents used for the transacetalation, the catalysts and other reaction conditions correspond to those already mentioned above for the acetalation. [0114]
  • A further novel variant is the reaction of a compound I (W═CHO) with a reactive derivative R[0115] 2C(X3R6) (X4R7) under transacetalation conditions (for conditions see above). Examples of suitable reactive derivatives are acetals and ortho-esters.
  • f) Acetal cleavage of a compound I in which W is —C(R[0116] 8) (X3R6) (X4R7)
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00020
  • The acetal cleavage can be carried out without the addition of an acid, in the presence of an acid, for example of a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, or of an organic carboxylic acid, such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, in the presence of an acidic ion exchanger, such as Amberlite® (trade mark of Aldrich) IR120 or IRC84, or in the presence of a transition metal salt, such as mercury(II) oxide, copper(I) oxide or iron(III) chloride.

  • Examples of suitable solvents or diluents are aromatics, such as benzene, toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, aliphatic or cyclic ethers, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol and iso-propanol, polar organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and acetonitrile, ketones, such as acetone and butanone, and water. [0118]
  • The reaction is preferably carried out in the absence of a solvent in an excess of the acid used for the acetal cleavage, formic acid being particularly preferred. [0119]
  • For complete conversion, the starting materials I, in which W is —C(R[0120] 8) (X3R6) (X4R7) and H2X5 are used in at least a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess of H2X5 of up to about 200 mol % is also possible.
  • The amount of acid, ion exchanger or transition metal salt is not critical. In general, up to about 300 mol %, based on the amount of H[0121] 2X5, is sufficient.
  • As a rule, the reaction temperature is from −78 to 180° C., preferably from 0° C. to the boiling point of the particular diluent. [0122]

  • The reaction can be carried out using the following phosphorylides Va to Vd, phosphonium salts VIa to VId and phosphonates VIIa to VIId: [0125]
    Phospho- R3P═C(R9)—CO—R10 Va,
    rylides V: R3P═C(R9)—CH2—CO—R10 Vb,
    R3P═C(R9)—C(R11)═C(R12)—CO—R10 Vc,
    R3P═C(R9)—CH2—CH(R13)—CO—R10 Vd;

  • Those phosphorylides Vb and Vd, phosphonium salts VIb and VId and phosphonates VIlb and VIId in which R[0126] 10 is hydrogen, alkyl or cycloalkyl are not very suitable.
  • The radicals R on the phosphorus may be identical or different and are, for example, branched or straight-chain C[0127] 1—C8-alkyl, C5- or C6-cycloalkyl and in particular phenyl which may carry further substituents which are inert for the reaction, for example C1-C4-alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl, C1-C4-alkoxy, such as methoxy, or halogen, such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine. Unsubstituted phenyl radicals are preferred since the starting material triphenylphosphine used for the preparation of the phosphorylides V and phosphonium salts VI is particularly economical and furthermore the very unreactive, solid triphenylphosphine oxide which can be readily separated off is formed in the reactions.
  • For example, the methods described in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume E2, 1982, page 345 et seq. are suitable for the preparation of the phosphonates VII. [0128]
  • Suitable solvents are inert organic solvents, for example aromatics, such as toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, ethers, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, polar organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide, or alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. [0129]
  • In the olefination of I where W is —C(R[0130] 8)═O with a phosphonium salt VI or a phosphonate VII, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base, alkali metal alkyls, such as n-butyllithium, alkali metal hydrides and alcoholates, such as sodium hydride, sodium ethylate and potassium tert-butylate, and alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as calcium hydroxide, being particularly suitable.
  • For complete conversion, all reactants are used in about a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess of base of about 10 mol % is preferably used. [0131]
  • In general, the reaction temperature is from −40 to 150° C. [0132]
  • The compounds of the formulae V, VI and VII are known or can be prepared by known methods (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden d. Org. Chemie, Vol. E1, page 636 et seq., Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1982, ibid. Vol. E2, page 345 et seq. and Chem. Ber. 95 (1962), 3993). [0133]
  • A further possibility for the preparation of 3-phenyluracils I where W is —CR[0134] 8═CR9—CO—R10 and R10 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl or alkoxyalkyl is the conventional aldol condensation. Suitable conditions for this purpose are described in, for example, Nielsen, Org. React. 16 (1968), 1 et seq.
  • Suitable further methods for synthesizing compounds of the formula I where W is —C(R[0135] 8)═C(R9)—CO—R10, —CH (R8)═CH (R9)—CO—R10, —CR8═CR11—CH2—CO—R12, —CR8═CR11—CR13═CR14—CO—R10 or —CR8═CR11—CH2—CHR15—CO—R12, and R9 or R11 is hydrogen, cyano, alkoxycarbonyl or alkylcarbonyl are both the Knoevenagel condensation and the Perkin condensation. Suitable conditions are described in, for example, Org. React. 15 (1967), 204 et seq. (Knoevenagel) or Johnson, Org. React. 1 (1942), 210 et seq. (Perkin).
  • Compounds in which R[0136] 10 is —NR8R9 or —SR17 can be prepared, for example, in a conventional manner by converting compounds in which R10 is hydroxyl into the corresponding acyl halides (R10 is halogen) and subsequently reacting the products with a corresponding amine H—NR18R19 or thiol H—SR17 or with a reactive derivative of these compounds.

[0138]
  • If the amines H[0139] 2N—R4 are in the form of salts, for example as hydrochlorides or oxalates, the addition of a base, preferably sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, triethylamine or pyridine, is preferable for their liberation.

  • To trap the H[0147] 2N—R14 obtained in the hydrolysis or to remove it from the equilibrium, it may be advantageous to carry out the reaction in the presence of another carbonyl compound, for example acetone, formaldehyde, glyoxylic acid or phenylglyoxylic acid, preferably formaldehyde, which forms a more stable compound with H2N—R14 than I (W═CHO).
  • In the procedure under oxidative conditions, oxidizing agents such as lead tetraacetate, sodium hypochloride and hydrogen peroxide are particularly suitable. [0148]
  • If desired, the reaction may additionally be carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as copper(II) sulfate, titanium tetrachloride or boron trifluoroetherate. [0149]
  • The amounts of acid, oxidizing agent and catalyst may be varied within wide limits. Usually, both the amount of acid and the amount of catalyst are from 5 to 200 mol % and the amount of oxidizing agent is from 25 to 400 mol %, based on the amount of the compound to be oxidized, but they may also be used in a considerably larger excess.

  • Particularly suitable solvents or diluents are organic liquids which form azeotropic mixtures with water, for example aromatics, such as benzene, toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, and halohydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene. [0220]
  • Particularly suitable catalysts are strong mineral acids, such as sulfuric acid, organic acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, phosphorus-containing acids, such as orthophosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid, and acidic cation exchangers, such as Amberlyst 15 (Fluka). [0221]
  • In general, the reaction temperature is from about 70 to 150° C.; for rapid removal of the resulting water of reaction, however, the reaction is advantageously carried out at the boiling point of the solvent. [0222]
  • w) The pyrimidinone derivatives IVa and IVb, which are used as starting materials in method d), can be obtained by halogenation, preferably chlorination or bromination, of 3-phenyluracils I in which R[0223] 3 is hydrogen, in the absence of a solvent or in the presence of an inert solvent or diluent.
  • Particularly suitable solvents or diluents are aprotic organic liquids, for example aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, such as n-hexane, benzene, toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane, halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzene, or tertiary amines, such as N,N-dimethylaniline. [0224]
  • Particularly suitable halogenating agents are thionyl chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphoryl chloride, phosphorus pentabromide and phosphoryl bromide. A mixture of phosphorus pentachloride and phosphoryl chloride or of phosphorus pentabromide and phosphoryl bromide can also be particularly advantageous. [0225]
  • In most cases, it is preferable to add a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide or of an alkylated aniline derivative. [0226]
  • The amount of halogenating agent is not critical; for complete conversion, at least equimolar amounts of halogenating agent and of the educt to be halogenated are required. However, a 1-fold to 8-fold molar excess of halogenating agent may also be advantageous. [0227]
  • The reaction temperatures are in general from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, preferably from 20 to 120° C. [0228]

  • The reaction is advantageously carried out in the presence of an essentially anhydrous, aprotic organic solvent or diluent, for example of an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as diethyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, of an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, such as n-hexane, benzene, toluene or o-, m-or p-xylene, of a halogenated, aliphatic hydrocarbon, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or chlorobenzene, of an aprotic, polar solvent, such as dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphorotriamide or dimethyl sulfoxide, or of a mixture of the stated solvents. [0230]
  • If desired, the reaction can also be carried out in the presence of an organic tertiary base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, and the organic base may simultaneously serve as the solvent. [0231]
  • The starting materials are advantageously used in a stoichiometric ratio, or a slight excess of up to about 20 mol % of one or other component is used. If the reaction is carried out in the absence of a solvent and in the presence of an organic base, the latter is present in a relatively large excess. [0232]
  • The reaction temperature is preferably from −80 to 150° C., particularly preferably from −30° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent used. [0233]
  • The byproduct frequently obtained in this reaction (acylation at the nitrogen, cf. process variant s)) can be separated off in a conventional manner, for example by crystallization or chromatography. [0234]
  • The compounds of the formulae IX, XII, XIII and XIV are likewise novel. They can be prepared by conventional methods, particularly advantageously from compounds of the formula XVI: By phosgenation and hydrolysis of the products with ammonia [0235]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00038
  • The process can be carried out in an inert, essentially anhydrous solvent or diluent or in the absence of a solvent, the compounds XIX preferably being reacted with phosgene or trichloromethyl chloroformate. [0236]
  • Particularly suitable solvents or diluents are aprotic, organic solvents, for example aromatics, such as toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, halohydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorobenzene, aliphatic or cyclic ethers, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, and esters, such as ethyl acetate, as well as mixtures of these solvents. [0237]
  • Depending on the aniline derivative XIX used, the addition of a base, such as triethylamine, may be advantageous, for example in from 0.5 to 2 times the molar amount, based on the amount of XIX. [0238]
  • By choosing suitable reaction conditions, both the carbamoyl chlorides XVII and the phenylisocyanates XIV can be obtained: Thus, the carbamoyl chlorides XVII are usually obtained at low temperatures of from about −40 to 50° C., whereas a further increase in the temperature up to the boiling point of the reaction mixture leads predominantly to the formation of the phenylisocyanates XIV, which can be reacted with ammonia or with a reactive derivative of ammonia to give the phenylurea derivatives XII. [0239]
  • By reaction with alkali metal cyanates [0240]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00039
  • M[0241] is one equivalent of a metal ion, in particular an alkali metal ion, such as sodium or potassium.
  • The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, for example in an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as toluene or o-, m- or p-toluene, in an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, in a lower alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol, in water or in a mixture of the stated solvents. [0242]
  • The amount of cyanate is not critical; at least equimolar amounts of aniline derivative XIX and cyanate are required for complete conversion, but an excess of cyanate of up to about 100 mol % may also be advantageous. [0243]
  • The reaction temperature is in general from 0° C. to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. [0244]
  • By reaction with esters XX [0245]
    Figure US20010031865A1-20011018-C00040
  • L[0246] 4 is C1-C4-alkyl or phenyl and L5 is halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, C1-C4-alkoxy or phenoxy.
  • Examples of suitable solvents or diluents are aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and o-, m- and p-xylene, halohydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorobenzene, aliphatic or cyclic ethers, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, esters, such as ethyl acetate, alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, and water or two-phase mixtures of an organic solvent and water. [0247]
  • The reaction is advantageously carried out in the presence of a base, for example of an alkali metal hydroxide, carbonate or alcoholate, such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium methylate or sodium ethylate, or of a tertiary amine, such as pyridine or triethylamine. [0248]
  • If desired, a catalyst, for example a Lewis acid, such as antimony trichloride, may also be added. [0249]
  • The starting compounds and the base are advantageously used in a stoichiometric ratio, but one or other component may also be present in an excess of up to about 100 mol %. [0250]
  • As a rule, the amount of catalyst is from 1 to 50, preferably from 2 to 30, mol %, based on the amount of aniline derivative XIX used. [0251]
  • The reaction temperature is in general from −40° C. to the boiling point of the reaction mixture. [0252]
  • The starting compounds of the formula XIX and their preparation and all other compounds whose preparation is not described explicitly are known from the literature or said compounds can be prepared by conventional methods. [0253]
  • In the abovementioned processes for the synthesis of substituted 3-phenyluracils I, their salts, enol ethers or intermediates, atmospheric pressure or the autogenous pressure of the particular solvent is advantageously used. Lower or higher pressure is possible but usually has no advantages. [0254]
  • Unless stated otherwise, the reagents and starting materials required for the preparation of the substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib are known or can be prepared by conventional methods. [0255]
  • The particular reaction mixtures are worked up, as a rule, by conventional methods, for example by removing the solvent, distributing the residue in a mixture of water and a suitable organic solvent and isolating the product from the organic phase. [0256]
  • The substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib may be obtained in the preparation as isomer mixtures, which however can, if desired, be separated into the pure isomers by conventional methods, for example by crystallization or chromatography (if necessary, over an optically active adsorbate). Pure optically active isomers can be synthesized, for example, from corresponding optically active starting materials. [0257]
  • As a rule, the compounds of the formulae I, Ia and Ib can be prepared by the methods described above. However, in individual cases certain compounds I can also advantageously be prepared from other compounds I by ester hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, transetherification, esterification, ether cleavage, olefination, reduction, oxidation or a cyclization reaction at the positions of the radicals R[0258] 4, R5 and W.
  • The substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib are suitable as herbicides both in the form of isomer mixtures and in the form of the pure isomers. In general they are well tolerated and therefore selective in broad-leaved crops and in monocotyledon plants. [0259]
  • Depending on the particular application method, the substituted phenyluracils Ia and Ib or the agents containing them can be used in a large number of crop plants for eliminating undesirable plants, the following crops being mentioned as examples: [0260]

  • The substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib are also suitable for the desiccation and defoliation of plants. As desiccants, they are particularly suitable for drying out the above-ground parts of crop plants, such as potatoes, rape, sunflower and soybean. This permits completely mechanical harvesting of these important crop plants. [0261]
  • Also of commercial interest is the facilitation of harvesting, which is permitted by concentrated dropping or a reduction in the adhesion to the tree in the case of citrus fruits, olives or other species and varieties of pomes, drupes and hard-shelled fruit. The same mechanism, ie. promotion of the formation of abscission tissue between the fruit or leaf part and the shoot part of the plant, is also essential for readily controllable defoliation of crops, for example cotton. [0262]
  • Furthermore, the shortening of the time interval in which the individual cotton plants ripen leads to higher fiber quality after harvesting. [0263]
  • Apart from their herbicidal and defoliant activity, some of the substituted 3-phenyluracils of the formuale I, Ia and lb can also be used as growth regulators or for controlling pests from the class consisting of the insects, arachnids and nematodes. They can be used for controlling pests in crop protection and in the hygiene, stored materials and veterinary sectors. [0264]

  • The active ingredients can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the application forms prepared therefrom, for example in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusting agents, broadcasting agents or granules, by spraying, nebulizing, dusting, broadcasting and pouring. The application forms depend entirely on the intended uses; they should in any case ensure a very fine distribution of the novel active ingredients. [0266]
  • The formulations are prepared in a known manner, for example by extending the active ingredient with solvents and/or carriers, if desired with the use of emulsifiers and dispersants; where water is used as a diluent, other organic solvents may also be used as auxiliary solvents. Suitable inert assistants for this purpose are essentially mineral oil fractions having a medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene and diesel oil, as well as coal tar oils and oils with vegetable or animal origin, solvents, such as aromatics (eg. toluene or xylene), chlorinated aromatics (eg. chlorobenzenes), paraffins (eg. mineral oil fractions), alcohols (eg. methanol, ethanol, butanol or cyclohexanol), ketones (eg. cyclohexanone and isophorone), amines (eg. ethanolamine, N,N-dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone) and water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (eg. kaolins, aluminas, talc or chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (eg. finely divided silica or silicates); emulsifiers, such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (eg. polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkylsulfonates and arylsulfonates) and dispersants, such as ligninsulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose. [0267]
  • Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, dispersions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by adding water. For the preparation of emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substrates, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of wetting agents, adherents, dispersants or emulsifiers. However, concentrates which consist of active ingredient, wetting agents, adherents, dispersants or emulsifiers and possibly solvents or oil and which are suitable for dilution with water can also be prepared. [0268]
  • Suitable surfactants are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, for example lignin-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, alkylsulfates, 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 naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, ligninsulfite waste liquors or methylcellulose. [0269]
  • Powders, broadcasting agents and dusting agents can be prepared by mixing or milling the active ingredients together with a solid carrier. [0270]
  • Granules, for example coated, impregnated and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths, such as silica gel, silicas, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, kieselguhr, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, milled plastics, fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate and ureas, and vegetable products, such as grain flours, bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders and other solid carriers. [0271]
  • The concentrations of the active ingredients I, Ia and Ib in the ready-to-use formulations can be varied within wide ranges, for example from 0.0001 to 95% by weight. For use as herbicides or plant growth-regulating agents, concentrations of from 0.01 to 95, preferably from 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient are preferable. Formulations containing from 0.0001 to 10, preferably from 0.01 to 1, % by weight of active ingredient are suitable for use as insecticides. The active ingredients are used in a purity of from 90 to 100%, preferably from 95 to 100% (according to NMR spectrum). [0272]

  • III. An aqueous dispersion of 20 parts by weight of compound No. 3.1, 40 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 30 parts by weight of isobutanol and 20 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of castor oil.

  • IV. An aqueous dispersion of 20 parts by weight of compound No. 2.1, 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanol, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction boiling within a range of 210 to 280° C. and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of castor oil. The mixture of this dispersion with 100,000 parts by weight of water contains 0.02% of the active ingredient. [0277]

  • The active ingredients or the herbicidal and plant growth-regulating agents can be applied by the preemergence or postemergence method. The plants are usually sprayed or dusted with the active ingredients or the seeds of the test plants are treated with the active ingredients. If the active ingredients are less well tolerated by certain crop plants, it is possible to use application methods in which the herbicides are sprayed with the aid of the sprayers in such a way that the leaves of the sensitive crop plants are as far as possible not affected while the active ingredients reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing underneath or the uncovered oil surface (post-directed, lay-by). [0284]
  • The application rates of active ingredient are from 0.001 to 5.0, preferably from 0.01 to 2, kg/ha of active ingredient, depending on the aim of control, the season, the target plants and the stage of growth. [0285]
  • To broaden the action spectrum and to achieve synergistic effects, the substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib can be mixed and applied together with a large number of members of other groups of herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredients. For example, diazines, 4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 2,6-dinitroanilines, N-phenylcarbamates, thiocarbamates, halocarboxylic acids, triazines, amides, ureas, diphenyl ethers, triazinones, uracils, benzofuran derivatives, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives which carry in the 2-position, for example, a carboxyl or carbimino, or quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives, imidazolinones, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, aryloxy- and hetaryloxyphenoxypropionic acids and their salts, esters and amides and others are suitable components for the mixture. [0286]
  • The substituted 3-phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib can also be applied together with other crop protection agents, such as herbicides, growth regulators, pesticides, fungicides and bactericides. These agents may be mixed with the novel agents in a weight ratio of from 1:100 to 100:1, if desired also directly before application (tank mix). Also of interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are used for eliminating nutrient and trace element deficiencies. Nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.

  • Use Examples (herbicidal activity) [0377]
  • The herbicidal activity of the substituted phenyluracils I, Ia and Ib could be demonstrated by greenhouse experiments: [0378]
  • The culture vessels used were plastic flower pots containing loamy sand with about 3.0% of humus as the substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately according to species. [0379]
  • In the preemergence treatment, the active ingredients suspended or emulsified in water were applied, directly after sowing, by means of finely distributing nozzles. The vessels were lightly watered in order to promote germination and growth and were then covered with transparent plastic covers until the plants had begun to grow. This covering ensures uniform germination of the test plants, unless this has been adversely affected by the active ingredients. [0380]
  • For the purpose of the postemergence treatment, the test plants were grown in the test vessels themselves or were planted in the test vessels a few days beforehand. The active ingredients suspended or emulsified in water were not applied until a height of growth of from 3 to 15 cm, depending on the form of growth. [0381]
  • The plants were kept at 10-25° C. or 20-35° C., according to species. The test periods extended over from 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended and their reaction to the individual treatments was evaluated. [0382]
  • Rating was based on 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 on normal growth. [0383]
  • The plants used in the greenhouse experiments consisted of the following species: [0384]

  • A 6,7-dihydrodipyrido[1,2-alpha:2′, 1′-c]pyridilium as the dibromide monohydrate salt (common name: Diquat®). [0389]
  • The comparative agent was used in the form-of the preformulated commercial product. [0390]
  • The test plants used were young, 4-leaved cotton plants (without cotyledons) of the Stoneville 825 variety, which were grown under greenhouse conditions (relative humidity from 50 to 70%; day/night temperature 27/20° C.). [0391]
  • USE EXAMPLE 1
  • The leaves of the young cotton plants were treated to run-off with aqueous formulations of the stated active ingredients (with the addition of 0.15% by weight, based on the spray liquor, of fatty alcohol alkoxylate Plurafac LF 700). The amount of water applied was equivalent to 1000 l/h. After 13 days, the number of dropped leaves and the degree of defoliation in % were determined. In the case of the untreated control plants, no dropping of leaves occurred. [0392]

  • The result shows that the novel substituted 3-phenyluracils I have a very good defoliant effect and are superior to the commercial product A in this respect. [0393]
  • Use Examples (insecticidal activity) [0394]
  • The insecticidal activity of the compounds of the general formulae I, Ia and Ib could be demonstrated by the following experiments: [0395]
