The present invention also provides herbicidal compositions which comprise as an active ingredient a compound of the general formula III in association with a diluent or carrier. The diluent or carrier may be a solid or liquid, optionally in association with a surface-active agent, for example a dispersing agent, emulsifying agent or wetting agent.
According to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a method for the pre-weed emergence control of graminaceous weeds which comprises applying to the locus of the weeds, for example the soil, a compound of the general formula III. A particular embodiment of this feature is a method for the selective pre-weed emergence control of graminaceous weeds such as barnyard grass, crabgrass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass in a crop area which comprises applying to the crop area a compound of the general formula III at an application rate sufficient to control the weeds but substantially non-phytotoxic to the crop.
We have found that the triazole compounds of formulae I, II and III have valuable herbicidal properties against graminaceous weeds. For example, the compounds possess a high level of pre-weed emergence herbicidal activity against the graminaceous weeds crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli), yellow foxtail (Setaria lutescens) and Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense). Furthermore, detailed trials in the glasshouse have shown that the compounds give a pre-weed emergence control of each of these weeds at application rates that cause no significant phytotoxic effect on the crops cotton, soyabean, peanut and maize when the compounds are applied prior to the emergence of these crops. Accordingly the compounds of the present invention can be used for the selective pre-emergence control of all of these weeds in these crops. This is an important advantage, since crabgrass, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass are all important weeds in cotton, soyabean, peanut and maize and often occur together in these crops.
We have found that the compounds of the present invention have superior herbicidal properties to a variety of closely related 1,2,4-triazoles within the hereinbefore defined broad group of compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,308,131, including a representative selection of the compounds specifically exemplified in that patent specification. Detailed trials in the glasshouse have demonstrated that, in contrast to the compounds of the present invention, these closely related compounds do not possess both the above-described high level of pre-weed emergence herbicidal activity and the above-described ability to control selectively all four of the weeds crabgrass, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass in cotton, soyabean, peanut and maize.
The compositions of the present invention include not only compositions in a suitable form for application but also concentrated primary compositions which may be supplied to the user and which require dilution with a suitable quantity of water or other diluent before application.
Typical compositions falling within the present invention include the following:
a. Dispersions and dispersible preparations
As dispersions, the compositions comprise essentially a triazole compound of the general formula I, II or III dispersed in an aqueous medium. It is convenient to supply the consumer with a primary composition which may be diluted with water to form a dispersion having the desired concentration; the primary composition may be in any one of the following forms. It may be provided as a dispersible solution which comprises a compound of the general formula I, II or III dissolved in a water-miscible solvent with the addition of a dispersing agent. Alternatively it may be provided as a dispersible powder which comprises a compound of the general formula I, II or III and a dispersing agent. A further alternative comprises a compound of the general formula I, II or III in the form of a finely ground powder in association with a dispersing agent and intimately mixed with water to give a paste or cream. This paste or cream may if desired be added to an emulsion of oil in water to give a dispersion of active ingredient in an aqueous oil emulsion.
b. Emulsions and emulsifiable preparations
Emulsions comprise essentially a triazole compound of the general formula I, II or III dissolved in water-immiscible solvent which is formed into an emulsion with water in the presence of an emulsifying agent. An emulsion of the desired concentration may be formed from a primary composition of the following types. A concentrated stock emulsion may be supplied comprising a compound of the general formula I, II or III in combination with an emulsifying agent, water and a water-immiscible solvent. Alternatively there may be supplied an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a solution of a compound of the general formula I, II or III in a water-immiscible solvent containing an emulsifying agent.
c. Dusting powders
A dusting powder comprises a triazole compound of the general formula I, II or III intimately mixed and ground with a solid pulverulent diluent, for example kaolin.
d. Granular solids
These may comprise a compound of the general formula I, II or III associated with similar diluents to those which may be employed in dusting powders, but the mixture is granulated by known methods. Alternatively they may comprise the active ingredient absorbed or adsorbed on a pre-formed granular diluent for example fullers earth, attapulgite and limestone grit.
In addition to the ingredients already mentioned, the compositions of the invention may also contain other substances conventionally used in the art, the function of which may be to improve the ease of handling of the compositions or to improve their utility. For example an inert diluent such as kaolin may be included in dispersible powders in order to facilitate grinding and to provide sufficient bulk for mixing with water. As a further example, the compositions intended for dilution with water prior to application may also contain a wetting agent in order to obtain rapid wetting-out of the materials and to ensure satisfactory coverage of the soil. Also when dusts are prepared, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate may be added to the mixture to promote both easier mixing of the components and to ensure that the final product has free-flowing properties.
The compositions hereinbefore described wherein the active ingredients are present in solid form, for example dusting powders and dispersible powders, should preferably contain the compound of the general formula I, II or III in the form of very fine particles; the majority of the particles, of the order of at least 95%, should be less than 50.mu., with about 75% of them being 5 - 20.mu.. The adjuvants conventionally used in such compositions are generally of this particle size or smaller. The compositions can be prepared by means of conventional grinding equipment such as a hammer mill.
The concentration of compound of the general formula I, II or III in the primary compositions which may be provided for the preparation of any of the forms in which the compositions of the invention may be used may vary widely and may be, for example, 2 - 95% w/w of the composition. It will be appreciated that this concentration will be influenced by the nature of the primary composition and the physical properties of its ingredients.
The concentration of the compound of general formula I, II or III in the compositions for application to control weeds should be at least 0.001% w/w, preferably 0.05 - 10% w/w.
In addition to a compound of the general formula I, II or III, the compositions of the present invention may contain one or more additional active ingredients, for example one or more insecticides, nematocides, or additional herbicides. Such an additional herbicide may be, for example, a substituted urea, for example diuron or monuron; a triazine, for example simazine or atrazine; a substituted acetanilide, for example propachlor; a nitrophenyl ether, for example nitrofen; a carbamate, for example chlorpropham; or a thiolcarbamate, for example EPTC or tri-allate.
The invention includes a method for the pre-weed emergence control of graminaceous weeds which comprises applying to the locus of the weeds, for example the soil, a triazole compound of the formula I, II or III. This method may be used subsequent to the emergence of the crop, for example for the pre-weed emergence control of graminaceous weeds such as barnyard grass in seeded or transplanted rice, but is often used prior to the emergence of the crop, as is usually the case with the control of crabgrass, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass in cotton, soyabean, peanut and maize. When the method is used prior to the emergence of the crop, it is convenient to apply the compounds of the invention to the soil in which the crop is sown at or just prior to the time of sowing. Thus, for example, the compounds of the invention may be incorporated into the top layer of soil as part of a sowing procedure.
For the control of graminaceous weeds, the compounds of the invention are generally used at an application rate of 0.05 - 50 lb./acre, preferably 0.1 - 20 lb./acre. Selective pre-weed emergence control of weeds may be achieved in many instances at an application rate within the range 0.1 - 10 lb./acre.
The selective pre-weed emergence herbicidal activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated by the results obtained in detailed trials carried out in the glasshouse. In these trials, trays of soil were sown with seeds of various weeds and crops, and then immediately sprayed with aqueous suspensions of the compounds under test at logarithmically reducing application rates of test compound within the range 8 1/32 lb./acre. Seeded trays of soil receiving no chemical treatment were used as controls. The weeds used were crabgrass (CG), barnyard grass (BG), yellow foxtail (YF) and Johnson grass (JG). The crops used were cotton (CO), soyabean (SB), maize (M) and peanut (P).
In the case of the weeds, the minimum application rate was recorded at which control of the weeds was achieved, as shown by emergent seedlings that were severely and irrecoverably stunted. In the case of the crops, the minimum application rate was recorded at which a phytotoxic effect was observed on the emergent seedlings. In some cases no phytotoxic effect on a crop was observed at the maximum application rate of test compound of 8 lb./acre, and this result was recorded as ">8". The results obtained with various compounds within the general formulae I, II and III are shown in the following Tables. In these Tables, the following abbreviations are used:
Me = methyl, Et = ethyl, Pr = propyl, Bu = butyl, Pen = pentyl, Hex = hexyl, i = iso and s = secondary. Alkyl radicals without the designation i- or s- signify normal radicals.

For purposes of comparison, various 1,2,4-triazoles within the scope of the isomeric formulae A but outside the scope of the formulae, I, II and III (compounds of the formula III are wholly outside the scope of formulae A), were included in the glasshouse trials described above, using application rates logarithmically reducing from 32 lb./acre. The results obtained are given in the following Tables 4 and 5, in which "*" designates a compound that is specifically exemplified in U.S. Pat. No. 3,308,131. The compounds that gave no control of any of the weeds crabgrass, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass at the maximum application rate of 32 lb./acre are listed in Table 5. In view of their lack of activity against the weeds, these compounds were not included in the crop tests. Of the compounds listed in Table 5, those that are believed to have been obtained as a mixture of isomers (corresponding to formulae A) containing appreciably more than 10 % of each isomer, or those in which the isomeric structure is uncertain, are designated 1( 2)- in the nomenclature of the carbamoyl group. The remaining compounds are believed to have been obtained substantially as the isomer given, or predominantly as this isomer with less than 10% of the other isomer.

The results given above show that the compounds listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3 are markedly superior to the compounds listed in Tables 4 and 5 in respect of their high level of selective pre-emergence activity against all four of the weeds crabgrass, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail and Johnson grass in the crops cotton, soyabean, maize and peanut.
It can be seen from the foregoing description that the compounds of the present invention are of value for the pre-weed emergence control of graminaceous weeds in a variety of crops, for example cotton, leguminous crops such as soyabean and peanut, and cereals such as maize. However, it will be appreciated that the individual compounds of the present invention are not all equivalent in their level of herbicidal activity and selectivity characteristics. Accordingly the optimum compound for one particular use is not necessarily the optimum compound for another particular use.
Insecticidal and miticidal tests have been carried out with a variety of compounds of the present invention. The compounds tested were found to have little or no activity against insects, for example Plutella maculipennis, Phaedon cochlearieae, and aphids such as Aphis fabae and Megoura viciae. The compounds tested were also found to have little or no activity against mites, for example Tetranychus urticae.
Regarding the mammalian toxicity of the compounds of the present invention, acute oral toxicity studies in mice have given satisfactory results. In these studies, the compounds of the present invention have been found to be less toxic than certain closely related 1,2,4-triazoles, for example 1-dimethylcarbamoyl-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazole.
PREPARATION OF COMPOUNDS OF FORMULA I
The compounds of formula I may be prepared by the hereinafter described processes, which are analogous to known processes for preparing similar compounds.
One such process comprises reacting a triazole of the general formula ##SPC5##
in which R.sup.3 is as hereinbefore defined for formula I, with a carbamoyl halide of the general formula Z--CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2 (V) in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as hereinbefore defined for formula I and Z is chlorine, fluorine or bromine, preferably chlorine. The reaction is suitably effected in the presence of an inert organic liquid as the reaction medium, which is preferably a solvent for the reactants. Advantageously the reaction is effected in the presence of a suitable acid-binding agent, for example a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or pyridine, in order to absorb the hydrogen halide produced in the reaction. In an alternative procedure, the triazole of the general formula IV may be converted to an alkali metal (for example sodium) salt thereof prior to the reaction with the carbamoyl halide. The alkali metal salt may be obtained by reacting the triazole of the general formula IV with an alkali metal hydride, amide or alkoxide, in accordance with known methods.
The carbamoyl halides of the general formula V may be prepared by reacting a secondary amine of the general formula HNR.sup.1 R.sup.2, in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above, with a carbonyl halide COZ.sub.2, in accordance with known methods.
The compounds of formula I may also be prepared by a process which comprises reacting a carbamoyl halide of the general formula ##SPC6##
in which R.sup.3 and Z are as defined above, with a secondary amine of the general formula HNR.sup.1 R.sup.2, in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above. The reaction is suitably effected in the presence of an inert organic liquid as the reaction medium, which is preferably a solvent for the reactants.

EXAMPLE 52
This Example illustrates the preparation of compounds of formula II.
A solution of 4.1 g. 3-(2-ethoxyethylsulphonyl)-1,2,4-triazole, 3.5 g. diallylcarbamoyl chloride and 4 ml. triethylamine in 40 ml. dry tetrahydrofuran was refluxed under anhydrous conditions for 15 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was filtered to remove triethylamine hydrochloride and the filtrate was evaporated to remove solvent. The residue was triturated with petroleum ether (b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C.) to give a solid product. This product was collected and recrystallised from ether/petroleum ether b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C. to give 1-diallylcarbamoyl-3-(2-ethoxyethylsulphonyl)-1,2,4-triazole, m.p. 62.degree. - 63.degree.C. Elemental analysis satisfactory.
The novel intermediate triazole compounds used in the above preparation were prepared as follows. To a solution of 11.8 g. sodium in 350 ml. absolute ethanol was added 52.5 g. 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol. To the resulting solution was added 84 g. 1-bromo-2-ethoxyethane and the resulting solution refluxed for 3 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to remove solvent, and the residue was dissolved in ether. The resulting solution was filtered, the filtrate was evaporated to remove solvent and the residue distilled under reduced pressure to give 3-(2-ethoxyethylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, b.p. 137.degree.-145.degree.C./0.3-0.5 mm. Elemental analysis satisfactory.
Hydrogen peroxide (33.6 ml. of 100 vol. solution) was added in small portions to a solution of 17.3 g. 3-(2-ethoxyethylthio)-1,2,4-triazole in 150 ml. glacial acetic acid, maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture at 80.degree. - 85.degree.C. When the addition of hydrogen peroxide was complete, the temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained at 80.degree. - 85.degree.C. for an additional period of 2 hours. The reaction mixture was distilled under reduced pressure to remove acetic acid and the solid residue obtained was crystallized from ethyl acetate/petroleum ether, b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C. to give 3-(2-ethoxyethylsulphonyl)-1,2,4-triazole, m.p. 91.5.degree.-91.5.degree. 92.5.degree.C.

This Example illustrates the preparation of compounds of formula II.
A solution of 5.67 g. 3-isobutylsulphonyl-1,2,4-triazole, 5.46 g. N-ethyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)carbamoyl chloride, 6 ml. triethylamine and 40 ml. dry tetrahydrofuran was kept at ambient temperature (20.degree.C.) for 72 hours. The mixture was filtered to remove triethylamine hydrochloride and the filtrate was evaporated to give a residual oil. This oil was washed with petroleum ether, b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C. (3 .times. 100 ml.) and then dissolved in ether. The ethereal solution was filtered to remove a trace of insoluble material and the filtrate was evaporated to give a residual oil which was kept at 100.degree.C. in vacuo for 2 hours to remove all traces of volatile material.

The reaction mixture was filtered to remove triethylamine hydrochloride and the filtrate was evaporated to remove solvent. The product was treated with 100 ml. of petroleum ether (b.p. 62.degree. - 68.degree.C.) and separated. It was a liquid at room temperature and it was then washed three times by decantation with petroleum ether (b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C.). A solution of the product in methylene chloride was charcoaled, filtered and evaporated by heating in a vacuum on a steam bath for a period of two hours. GLC assay showed that the product, 1-[N-butyl-N-(2-ethoxyethyl)carbamoyl]-3-propylsulphonyl-1,2,4-triazole, contained 95.17% of the 1-isomer. Elemental analysis satisfactory.
The N-butyl-N-(2-ethoxyethyl)carbamoyl chloride used in the above reaction was prepared in an analogous way to that described in Example 53.
The 3-propylsulphonyl-1,2,4-triazole used in the above reaction was prepared as follows.
20.2 g. of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole was added to a solution of 4.8 g. sodium in 150 ml. absolute ethanol. When dissolution was complete 24.6 g. propyl bromide was added. The stirred mixture was gradually heated to boiling under reflux, refluxed for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was distilled to dryness under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in ether. The resulting solution was filtered, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and distilled under reduced pressure to give 3-propylthio-1,2,4-triazole, b.p. 143.degree. - 144.degree.C./1 mm. This product solidified, m.p. 53.degree. - 56.degree.C.
To a solution of 14.3 g. 3-propylthio-1,2,4-triazole in 100 ml. glacial acetic acid was added 28.5 ml. 100 vol. hydrogen peroxide solution (2.5 molecular proportions). The solution was heated gradually to 95.degree. - 100.degree.C., kept at this temperature for 2 hours and then distilled to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from toluene to give 3-propylsulphonyl-1,2,4-triazole, m.p. 116.degree. - 117.degree.C. Elemental analysis satisfactory.

The cooled reaction mixture was filtered to remove triethylamine hydrochloride and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum to remove the solvent. Further precipitation of amine hydrochloride was filtered off. The filtrate was dissolved in 50 ml. methylene chloride and washed with ice-cold N/10 sodium hydroxide, with N/10 hydrochloric acid and finally with ice-cold water. The solvent was removed by vacuum distillation to give a liquid product, 1-diethylcarbamoyl-3-(2-allyloxyethylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, b.p. 148.degree. - 153.degree.C./0.05 mm.

After the addition of 6.75 g. diallyl carbamoyl chloride the mixture was refluxed for 21/2 hours. The oil gradually disappeared as triethylamine hydrochloride was precipitated. The mixture was cooled and filtered to remove the triethylamine hydrochloride After evaporating the solvent it was found that the residual oil did not crystallize when treated with petroleum ether (b.p. 40.degree. - 60.degree.C.). It crystallized at 0.degree.C. but melted again at room temperature. After washing with petrol by decantation the product was taken up in methylene chloride and filtered.

To this solution was added by portions 67.2 ml. of 100 vol. hydrogen peroxide and the temperature was maintained at 80.degree.C. for two hours with cooling as necessary in the early stages. A small amount of 10% palladium/charcoal catalyst was added to destroy excess hydrogen peroxide. After an hour the solution was filtered and sulphur dioxide passed through the mixture as a precaution in case peroxides had been formed. The solution was vacuum evaporated and crystals of the sulphonyl compound were removed.

EXAMPLE 70
This Example illustrates the preparation of compounds of formula III.
A solution of 7.04 g. 3-dimethylsulphamoyl-1,2,4-triazole, 8 ml. triethylamine and 6.0 g. diethylcarbamoyl chloride in 25 ml. dry tetrahydrofuran was refluxed for 11/2 hours.
Triethylamine hydrochloride precipitated and was filtered off. Light petroleum was added to the filtrate to precipitate the product which was separated and recrystallized from light petroleum (b.p. 80.degree. - 100.degree.C.). The product, 1-diethylcarbamoyl-3-dimethylsulphamoyl-1,2,4-triazole had a melting point of 83.degree.C.
The triazole intermediate used in the above reaction was prepared as follows. 50.5 g. 1,2,4-Triazole-3-thiol was suspended in 800 ml. of 2N hydrochloric acid and stirred at 0.degree. - 2.degree.C. while a stream of chlorine was passed in. The thiol reactant passed into solution and later 1,2,4-triazole-3-sulphonyl chloride separated. After 2 hours excess of chlorine was present and the sulphonyl chloride was filtered off, wased with ice-cold water and used immediately.
The sulphonyl chloride was gradually added with stirring to 210 ml. of 25% aqueous dimethylamine at 15.degree. - 20.degree.C. A solution resulted. After 30 minutes, acidification with hydrochloric acid precipitated the product which was recrystallized from ethanol, giving a product with a melting point 192.degree. - 194.degree.C.
The following compounds were prepared in an analogous manner.

EXAMPLE 73
This Example illustrates the preparation of compounds of formula III.
A solution of 0.03 mole 3-diallylsulphamoyl-1,2,4-triazole, 8 ml. triethylamine and 0.03 mole of N-ethyl-N-2-methoxyethylcarbamoyl chloride in 40 ml. of dry tetrahydrofuran was held at room temperature for 3 days. The amine hydrochloride was filtered off and the solvent removed by evaporation. 100 ml. of petroleum ether were added to the mixture and petroleum ether decanted from the liquid layer formed. This was then dissolved in ether, filtered and the solvent removed by evaporation on the steam bath. The liquid product, 1-[N-ethyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)carbamoyl]-3-diallylsulphamoyl-1,2,4-triazole was heated at 100.degree.C. in vacuo for 3 hours at a pressure of lower than 0.2 mm. in order to remove all traces of carbamoyl chloride. The compound which was an oily liquid had a refractive index n.sub.D.sup.23 1.5100. Assay by GLC showed that 96.1% of 1-isomer was present. Elemental analysis was satisfactory.
The 3-diallylsulphamoyl-1,2,4-triazole intermediate used in the above preparation was prepared as in Example 70.
The preparation of the carbamoyl chloride reactant was as follows.
N-ethyl-N-2-methoxyethylamine, b.p. 115.degree. - .sup.-.degree.C. was first prepared by reaction of 3 molecular proportions of ethylamine with 1 molecular proporation of 1-bromo-2-methoxyethane in aqueous solution containing 1 equivalent of sodium hydroxide at 30.degree. - 50.degree.C.
To a stirred solution of 89.1 g. phosgene in 500 ml. dry ether at -20.degree.C. was added a solution of 30.9 g. N-ethyl-N-2-methoxyethylamine in 50 ml. dry ether, whilst the temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained at -20.degree.C. The stirred mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature during 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo below 25.degree.C. to remove the solvent and give the product, N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-ethylcarbamoyl chloride as a pale yellow liquid.
The following compounds were prepared in an analogous manner.
