Abstract
Herbicidally active novel substituted 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-heteroaryl(thio)-ureas of the formula ##STR1## in whichQ.sub.1 represents oxygen or sulphur,R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, or represents optionally substituted radicals from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and aralkyl,R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio, halogenoalkylthio, amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino,R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or alkyl,R.sup.4 represents halogenoalkyl,X represents nitrogen or a --CH grouping,Y represents nitrogen or a --CR.sup.5 grouping,R.sup.5 represents hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkyl, formyl, alkyl-carbonyl or alkoxy-carbonyl,Z represents nitrogen or a --CR.sup.6 grouping, andR.sup.6 represents hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino or dialkylamino,and salts thereof with metals and basic organic nitrogen compounds. The benzylsulphonyl moieties are also new.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 268,419 filed Nov. 8, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,927,454 which is a division of application Ser. No. 130,772, filed Dec. 9, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,806,147. The invention relates to new substituted 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-heteroaryl-(thio)ureas, a process and new intermediate products for their preparation and their use as herbicides. It is known that certain 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-heteroaryl-(thio)ureas, such as, for example, 1-(2-methoxycarbonyl-benzylsulphonyl)-3-(4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimi-din-2-yl)-urea, have a herbicidal action. However, the action of these compounds is not always completely satisfactory (compare U.S. Patent Specification No. 4,420,325). New substituted 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-heteroaryl-(thio)ureas of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which Q represents oxygen or sulphur, R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, or represents optionally substituted radicals from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and aralkyl, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio, halogenoalkylthio, amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino, R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or alkyl, R.sup.4 represents halogenoalkyl, X represents nitrogen or a --CH grouping, Y represents nitrogen or a --CR.sup.5 grouping, R.sup.5 represents hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkyl, formyl, alkyl-carbonyl or alkoxy-carbonyl and Z represents nitrogen or a --CR.sup.6 grouping, R.sup.6 represents hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino or dialkylamino, and salts of compounds of the formula (I) with metals and basic organic nitrogen compounds have now been found. The new substituted 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-hetero-aryl-(thio)ureas of the formula (I) are obtained by a process in which 2-halogenoalkoxy-benzylsulphonyl iso(thio)cyanates of the formula (II) ##STR3## in which Q, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted with heteroarylamines of the formula (III) ##STR4## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, X, Y and Z have the abovementioned meanings, The new substituted 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-hetero-aryl-(thio)ureas of the formula (I) are distinguished by a powerful herbicidal activity. Surprisingly, the new compounds of the formula (I) exhibit a considerably better herbicidal action than the already known 1-benzylsulphonyl-3-heteroaryl-(thio)ureas of the same type of action.
