c C The present invention relates to novel C 2 -phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols, to a 0 plurality of processes for their preparation and to their use as pesticides and C herbicides.

Pharmacological properties of 3-acyl-pyrrolidine-2,4-diones have already been described Suzuki et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 15 1120 (1967)). Furthermore, N-phenylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones have been synthesized by R. Schmierer and H. Mildenberger (Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1985, 1095). A biological activity of these compounds has not been described.

EP-A-0 262 399 and GB-A-2 266 888 disclose compounds of a similar structure (3-aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4-diones) of which, however, no herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal activity has become known. Unsubstituted bicyclic 3-aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4dione derivatives (EP-A-355 599 and EP-A-415 211) and substituted monocyclic 3aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-377 893 and EP-A-442 077) having herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal activity are known.

Also known are polycyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-442 073) and 1H-arylpyrrolidine-dione derivatives (EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334, EP-A- 596298, EP-A-613884, EP-A-613 885, WO94/01 997, WO 95/26954, WO 95/20 572, EP-A-0 668 267, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 97/43275, WO 98/05638, WO 98/06721, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/24437, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869 and WO 99/55673).

O

It is known that certain substituted A 3 -dihydrofuran-2-one derivatives have herbicidal properties (cf. DE-A-4 014 420). The synthesis of the tetronic acid derivatives used as starting materials (such as, for example, 3-(2-methyl-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-5-(4- ND fluorophenyl)-A 3 -dihydrofuran-2-one) is likewise described in DE-A-4 014 420.

Compounds of a similar structure are known from the publication Campbell et al., J.

tI Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 1985, 1567-76, without any insecticidal and/or O acaricidal activity being mentioned. Furthermore, 3-aryl-A 3 -dihydrofuranone derivatives having herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal properties are known from O EP-A-528 156, EP-A-0 647 637, WO 95/26 345, WO 96/20 196, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869 and WO 99/55673. 3-Aryl-

A

3 -dihydrothiphenone derivatives are likewise known (WO 95/26 345, 96/25 395, IN WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673).

In Certain phenyl-pyrone derivatives which are unsubstituted in the phenyl ring have already become known (cf. A.M. Chirazi, T. Kappe and E. Ziegler, Arch. Pharm.

309, 558 (1976) and Boltze and K. Heidenbluth, Chem. Ber. 91, 2849), a possible use of these compounds as pesticides not being mentioned. Phenyl-pyrone derivatives which are substituted in the phenyl ring and have herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal properties are described in EP-A-588 137, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/16 436, WO 97/19 941, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869 and WO 99/55673.

Certain 5-phenyl-1,3-thiazine derivatives which are unsubstituted in the phenyl ring have already become known (cf. E. Ziegler and E. Steiner, Monatsh. 95, 147 (1964), R. Ketcham, T. Kappe and E. Ziegler, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 10, 223 (1973)), a possible use of these compounds as pesticides not being mentioned. 5-Phenyl-1,3thiazine derivatives which are substituted in the phenyl ring and have herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal activity are described in WO 94/14 785, WO 96/02 539, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 99/05638, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869 and WO 99/55673.

It is known that certain substituted 2-arylcyclopentanediones have herbicidal and acaricidal properties for example, US-4283 348; 4338 122; 4436666; 4 526 723; 4 551 547; 4 632 698; WO 96/01 798; WO 96/03 366, WO 97/14 667 and also WO 98/39281, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673). Moreover, compounds of a similar structure are known; 3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-phenylcyclo- -3o pent-2-en-l-one from the publication Micklefield et al., Tetrahedron, (1992), 7519- 26 and the natural product involutine (-)-cis-5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydroxy- O 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-one from the publication Edwards et al., J.

Chem. Soc. S, (1967), 405-9. An insecticidal or acaricidal activity is not described.

Moreover, 2-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-indanedione is known from the publication J. Economic Entomology, 66, (1973), 584 and the Offenlegungsschrift SDE-A 2 361 084, with herbicidal and acaricidal activities being mentioned.

(N

It is known that certain substituted 2-arylcyclohexanediones have herbicidal and acaricidal properties (US-4 175 135, 4 209432, 4 256 657, 4 256 658, 4 256 659, 4257858, 4283348, 4303669, 4351666, 4409 153, 4436666, 4526723, 4 613 617, 4 659 372, DE-A 2 813 341, and also Wheeler, J. Org. Chem. 44, 4906 (1979)), WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673).

However, the activity and the activity spectrum of these compounds are, in particular at low application rates and concentrations, not always entirely satisfactory.

Furthermore, the compatibility of these compounds with plants is not always sufficient.

This invention, accordingly, provides novel compounds of the formula (I)

Depending, inter alia, on the nature of the substituents, the compounds of the formula can be present as geometrical and/or optical isomers or mixtures of isomers in varying compositions, which can be separated, if desired, in a customary manner. The present invention provides both the pure isomers and the isomer mixtures, their preparation and use and also compositions comprising them. In the following, for simplicity, however, the compounds of the formula are always referred to, although both pure compounds and, if appropriate, mixtures having different proportions of isomeric compounds are intended.

Compounds of the formula are obtained by one of the processes described below.

All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are to be understood as meaning in the present context all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (inclusive of naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and recombinant methods or by combinations of these methods, inclusive of the transgenic plants and inclusive of the plant varieties protectable or not protectable by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood to mean all above-ground and underground parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material, and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offsets and seeds.

Particularly preferably, plants of the plant varieties which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention.

Depending on the plant species or plant varieties, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions to be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.

The transgenic plants or plant varieties those obtained by genetical engineering) which are preferred according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particularly advantageous useful properties ("traits") to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to 142- O drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a 0 z higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or 0\ processability of the harvested products.

Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the t important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, O 10 cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapevines), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CrylA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryllA, CrymIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as "Bt plants").

Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the "PAT" gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato).
