Abstract

La présente invention concerne, d'une part des dérivés des nitrones représentés par la formule générale (I), l'un de leurs isomères géométriques ou l'un de leurs sels admis en agriculture, et d'autre part leur utilisation comme herbicides. Dans cette formule générale (I), R1 est: -(CH¿2?)m-(phényl éventuellement substitués par un ou plusieurs groupes R?8¿ qui peuvent être identiques ou différents); ou pyridyl, furyl ou thiényl éventuellement substitués par un ou plusieurs groupes R9 qui peuvent être identiques ou différents, -S(O)¿nR?9 et halogène; ou un groupe R9; R2 est hydrogène; R3 appartient au groupe des hydrogène, R9, cycloalkyl contenant de 3 à 6 atomes de carbone, -OR9, -S(O)¿pR?9 et -(CH¿2?)qCO2R?9¿; ou, lorsque R1 est phényl éventuellement substitué par un ou plusieurs groupes R?8, R1 et R3¿ peuvent être liés ensemble via un atome d'ortho-carbone de R1 de façon à former un cycle carbocyclique saturé à 5 ou 6 segments qui est confondu dans le cycle phényl; R4 et R6, qui peuvent être identiques ou différents, sont chacun hydrogène ou R9; ou lorsque R1 est phényl éventuellement substitué par un ou plusieurs groupes R?8, R1 et R4¿ peuvent être liés ensemble via un atome d'ortho-carbone de R1 de façon à former un cycle carbocyclique saturé à 5 ou 6 segments qui est confondu dans le cycle phényl; R5 est hydrogène, R9 ou phényl; R7 est phényl éventuellement substitué par un ou plusieurs troupes R8; ou un cycle hétérocyclique contenant de 1 à 4 hétéroatomes du cycle appartenant au groupe des oxygène, azote et soufre, lequel cycle hétérocyclique est éventuellement substitué par un ou plusieurs groupes R8; R8 est halogène, R9, -CO2H, -CO2R9, -OH, -OR9, -S(O)¿r?R?9, -NR10R11¿, nitro et cyano; R9 est un groupe alkyl à chaîne droite ou ramifiée qui porte de 1 à 6 atomes de carbone, et qui est éventuellement substitué par un ou plusieurs halogènes; R?10 et R11¿, qui peuvent être identiques ou différents, sont chacun hydrogène ou R9; 'm' vaut 0 ou 1; 'n', 'p' et 'r' valent indépendamment 0, 1 ou 2; 'q' vaut 1 ou 2.
