The compounds of the invention occur as optical isomers; in some cases they also exist in the form of geometrical isomers. Accordingly, the invention provides also the individual isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, and it should be understood that the written nomenclature and structural formulae shown in the specification should be taken to include the individual isomers as well as mixtures thereof.
Compounds of the general formula I have advantageous herbicidal action; surprisingly, they are suitable for combating weeds while protecting crop plants.
Compounds of the invention can be used, for example, for the selective control of weed grasses that are difficult to combat, such, for example, as Viola, Gallium, Centaurea, Amaranthus, Ipomea, Fagopyrum, Sesbania, Datura, Chrysanthemum, Polygonum and Matricaria, in crops such, for example, as soya, wheat, rice, barley, groundnut and potatoes.
The compounds of the invention may be applied in a pre-emergence process or, preferably, in a post-emergence process. Advantageously, they have a good action when applied in low quantities, from 0.05 to 5.0 kg of active substance/ha.
Of the compounds according to the invention, those especially distinguished by an optimum action of the type described are the compounds in which R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec.-butyl, tert.-butyl, 2,2-dimethyl-1 -propyl, n-pentyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-decyl, chloromethyl, bromomethyl, fluoromethyl, dichloromethyl, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, phenoxymethyl, 4-chlorophenoxymethyl, 2chloroethyl, 2-bromoethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, 2-phenoxyethyl, cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, 2-phenylethyl, phenyl, 2-chlorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 3,4-dichlorophenyl, 4methoxyphenyl, 4-nitrophenyl or 2,4-dichlorophenyl group.
There should be mentioned especially those compounds in which R1 and R2 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical, e.g. methyl, ethyl or octyl, a chloromethyl group, a phenyl group or a 4-chlorophenyl group, more especially those in which R1 and R2 both represent methyl groups.
Compounds in which Z represents a nitro group, compounds in which U represents a hydrogen atom and compounds in which W represents a halogen atom, e.g. a chlorine atom, should especially be mentioned.
As stated above, one ofthe Y substituents represents a group of the general formula II; ofthe otherY substituents two taken together represent a group of the general formula Ill, and the remaining two represent also a group of the general formula Ill. The two groups of the general formula Ill may be the same or different, but preferably are the same.
Compounds having an excellent action are especially those in which 1) Y1 represents the group of the general formula
and each of Y2 and Y3 together and Y4 and Y5 together represent the group of the general formula
or 2) Y3 represents the group of the general formula II and each of Y1 and Y2 together and Y4 and Y5 together represent the group of the general formula Ill or 3) Y5 represents the group of the general formula II and each of Y1 andY2 together and Y3 and Y4 together represent the group of the general formula Ill.
Xylites, adonites and D-arabites should especially be mentioned.
An unsubstituted or substituted aromatic hydrocarbon radical represented by R1 and/or R2 or an aryl moiety in an unsubstituted or substituted aryl-(C1-C3)-alkyl radical represented by R1 and/or R2 is preferably a phenyl group, for example phenyl unsubstituted or mono-substituted, for example by halogen. A halogen-substituted phenoxy group as a substituent of a (C1-C10)-alkyl radical represented by R1 and/or R2 is substituted by one or more of the same or different halogen substituents, usually by one or more of the same halogen substituents.
Compounds of the general formula I may be prepared, for example, by one of the following methods: a) reacting a compound of the general formula
in which one of the Y' substituents represents a hydrogen atom and each two of the other Y' substituents, independently of the other two, represents a group of the general formula Ill shown above, with a compound of the general formula
in which Z, U and W have the meanings given above and X represents a halogen atom, preferably a chlorine or bromine atom, optionally in the presence of an acid-binding agent and/or a catalyst, or b) reacting a compound of the general formula
in which one of the Y" substituents represents a group of the general formula
in which Z has the meaning given above, and each two of the other Y" substituents represents a group of the general formula Ill shown above, with a compound of the general formula
in which U, Wand X have the meanings given above, in the presence of an acid-binding agent and/or a catalyst.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of a compound of the general formula I by process (a) or (b) specified above.
The reactants react at between -10 and 1 500C, but generally between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the particular reaction mixture. The duration of the reaction may be, for example, from 1 to 72 hours. Generally, the reaction takes place at normal pressure or at slightly elevated pressure and the reactants may be used in approximately equimolar quantities. The reactions may be carried out, for example, in solvents that are inert towards the reactants; the choice of solvent (or suspension agent) depends on the particular alkyl or acyl halide used and on the acid acceptors used.Suitable solvents and suspension agents are, for example, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. petroleum ether, cyclohexane, hexane, heptane, benzene, toluene and xylenes; halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chlorobenzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloroethylene; ethers, e.g. diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, anisole, dioxan and tetrahydrofuran; carboxylic acid nitriles, e.g.
acetonitrile and propionitrile; carboxylic acid amides, e.g. dimethylformamide; dimethyl sulphoxide; ketones, e.g. acetone, diethyl ketone and methyl ethyl ketone, and alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol; and mixtures of such solvents with one another. In some cases it is possible for the reactant itself to serve as solvent.
Suitable acid acceptors are, for example, organic bases, such as, for example, triethylamine, trimethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, pyridine and pyridine bases, for example 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and inorganic bases, such as, for example, oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates and alcoholates of alkali metal and alkaline earth metals, and alkali metal salts of carboxylic acids, for example KOH, NaOH, Na2CO3 and CH3COONa. Liquid bases, such as, for example, pyridine, may serve simultaneously as solvents. In some cases the resulting hydrogen halide may also be removed by passing an inert gas, for example nitrogen, through the reaction mixture or it may be adsorbed on a molecular sieve.
The presence of a reaction catalyst may be advantageous. Suitable catalysts are, for example, potassium iodide and -onium compounds, such as quaternary ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium compounds, and also sulphonium compounds. Also suitable are polyglycol ethers, especially cyclic ethers, such as, for example, 1 8-Crown-6, and tertiary amines, such as, for example, tributylamine. Preferred compounds are quaternary ammonium compounds, such as, for example, benzyltriethylammonium chloride and tetrabutyammonium bromide.
The compounds of the invention may be isolated from the reaction mixture by customary processes, for example by distilling off the solvent used at normal or reduced pressure, by precipitation with water or by extraction. Generally, a higher degree of purity can be obtained by purification by column-chromatography or by fractional distillation.
The compounds according to the invention are generally almost colourless and odourless liquids, but in some cases are crystalline solids that are sparingly soluble in water, soluble to a limited extent in aliphatic hydrocarbons, such, for example, as petroleum ether, hexane, pentane and cyclohexane; and readily soluble in halogenated hydrocarbons, such, for example, as chioroform, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride, aromatic hydrocarbons, such, for example, as benzene, toluene and xylene, ethers, such, for example, as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxan, carboxylic acid nitriles, such, for example, as acetonitrile, ketones, such, for example, as acetone, alcohols, such, for example, as methanol and ethanol, carboxylic acid amides, such, for example, as dimethylformamide, and sulphoxides, such, for example, as dimethyl sulphoxide.
The starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of the invention are known perse or can be manufactured according to processes known per se.
The compounds of the invention may be used alone or in admixture with one another or with other active substances. If desired, defoliants, plant-protecting agents and/or pesticides may be added, depending on the desired purpose.
If a broadening of the spectrum of action is intended, other biocides may be added. Examples of suitable herbicidally active mixing partners are the active substances listed in Weed Abstracts, Vol. 31, No. 7, 1982, underthe heading "List of common names and abbreviations employed for currently used herbicides and plant growth regulators in Weed Abstracts".
Advantageously, the active substances according to the invention or mixtures thereof are used in the form of preparations, for example powders, strewable agents, granulates, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with the addition of liquid and/or solid carriers or diluents and, if desired, wetting agents, adhesionpromoting agents, emulsifiers and/or dispersion auxiliaries, but preferably in the form of emulsion concentrates.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a herbicidal preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula I, or two or more such compounds and a suitable carrier.
The proportion of the active substance(s) in the various preparations may vary within wide limits. For example, the preparations may contain from 5 to 95 % by weight of active substances, from 95 to 5 % by weight of liquid or solid carriers and, if desired, up to 20 % by weight of surface-active substances.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example, water, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such, for example, as benzene, toluene and xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, and also mineral oil fractions.
Suitable solid carriers are, for example, suitable mineral earths, for example tonsil, silica gel, talcum, kaolin, attaclay, limestone, silicic acid and vegetable products, for example meals.
Suitable surface-active substances are, for example, calcium ligninsulphonate, polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ethers, naphthalenesulphonic acids and salts thereof, phenolsulphonic acids and salts thereof, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulphates and substituted benzenesulphonic acids and salts thereof.
The present invention also provides a process for combating weeds, which comprises applying a compound of the general formula I to the weed or weeds or to an area or soil infested with or liable to infestation by weeds.
The area or soil treated may be an area or soil in the vicinity of weeds. It may be, for example, a crop area or an area adjacent to a crop area.
The compounds or preparations may be applied in customary manner, for example using water as carrier in quantities of spraying liquor of from 100 to 1000 litres/ha. It is possible to use the agents in the so-called Low Volume and Ultra Low Volume processes, and also to apply them in the form of so-called microgranules.
The present invention also provides an area, crop, crop area or soil treated by a process of the present invention, and a crop or other plant in or from a crop area or soil treated by a process of the present invention.
The following Examples illustrate the invention. Examples 1 to 9 illustrate the preparation of compounds of the general formula I. Examples A two C illustrate preparations containing these compounds and Examples I and II illustrate their use.
EXAMPLE 1 5-0-15-(2-chloro-4trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoyly- 1,2:3,4bis-0-{isopropylidene)-xylite 40.0 g (0.172 mol) of 1 ,2:3,4-bis-0-(isopropylidene)-xylite were placed in 250 ml of methylene chloride and, at 20"C, 17.3 g (0.172 mol) of triethylamine were added. A solution of 65.3 g (0.172 mol) of 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoyl chloride in 100 ml of methylene chloride was then added dropwise at 20"C while cooling with ice. The mixture was stirred for a further hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then washed three times using 250 ml of water each time. After drying the methylene chloride phase over magnesium sulphate, filtration was carried out and the solvent removed. The oil that remained was digested with 500 ml of hot hexane and then the hexane phase was concentrated again. The oil obtained was dried at 50"C/0.1 torr and gradually crystallised.
