The presence of undesired vegetation causes substantial damage to useful crops, especially agricultural products that satisfy man's basic food needs, such as soybeans, barley, wheat, and the like. The current population explosion and concomitant world food shortage demand improvements in the efficiency of producing these crops. Prevention or minimizing the loss of a portion of valuable crops by killing, or inhibiting the growth of undesired vegetation is one way of improving this efficiency.

A wide variety of materials useful for killing, or inhibiting (controlling) the growth of undesired vegetation is available; such materials are commonly referred to as herbicides. The need exists, however, for still more effective herbicides that destroy or retard weeds without causing significant damage to useful crops.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Compounds of formula I wherein J is J-1, J-2 or J-10, X and Y are oxygen, m is one, n is one or two, R.sub.2 is hyrdogen, methyl or ethyl and R.sub.3 is CHR.sub.4 R.sub.7, can be prepared by cyclizing the appropriate J-1, J-2 and J-10 allyl phenols of formula II as outlined in Scheme I

Scheme I ##STR22##

The cyclization can be effected by one or more of three general methods:

(a) thermal: the phenol precursor II, optionally in a solvent such as xylene, is heated at 150.degree.-250.degree. C.;

(b) acid catalyzed: refluxing a solution of the phenol precursor II in an inert solvent, such as xylene, containing a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA).

(c) free-radical: treating the phenol precursor II with hydrogen bromide in the presence of a peroxide.

Such methods are described by L. I. Smith, Chemical Reviews, page 287, et seq., 1940.

Depending on the nature of substituents R.sub.2, R.sub.4, and R.sub.7 in II, the above cyclization process may produce varying amounts of I in which m is one and/or two.

In addition to the methods described above, compounds of the subclass of formula I wherein J is J-1, J-2 or J-10, X is oxygen, m is one or two, n is one or two, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen, CR.sub.2 R.sub.7 CN, CN, CR.sub.2 R.sub.4 R.sub.7, COR.sub.4, C(NOR.sub.6)R.sub.2, CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, CONR.sub.4 R.sub.2, CHR.sub.2 CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, CHR.sub.2 C(O)R.sub.4, CHR.sub.2 OC(O)R.sub.4, CHR.sub.2 OC(O)N(R.sub.2).sub.2, CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or C.tbd.CH, may be prepared by dehydration of the precursor III. A preferred method is by refluxing a mixture of III with PTSA in a suitable inert solvent such as xylene. Alternatively, contacting III with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and diethylazodicarboxylate in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at about 0.degree. C. to 25.degree. C., according to the method of R. G. Salomon et al., J. Org. Chem.. 52, 1072 (1987), produces I, where m=2. This is outlined in Scheme II.

Scheme II ##STR23##

The intermediate diol derivative III, where m is 2, is produced from the allyl phenol precursor IV by treatment of IV, where R.sub.3 is as previously defined, with borane or 9-BBN (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. The resultant organoborane is oxidized with a basic hydrogen peroxide solution from 0.degree. C. to 55.degree. C. following the general procedures described by H. C. Brown, Organic Synthesis via Boranes, WIley Interscience, N.Y., 1975; H. C. Brown and C. G. Scouten, J. Org. Chem., 38, 4092 (1973). This is outlined in Scheme III.

Scheme III ##STR24##

Compounds of formula I wherein J is as previously described also can be prepared by treating phenol II with a moderate stoichiometric excess of an epoxidizing agent such as peracetic acid, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid or a like reagent, in an inert solvent such as 1,2-dichloroethane at a temperature of about 0.degree.-80.degree. C., to form an epoxide of formula V.

Scheme IV ##STR25##

The reaction preferably is conducted by refluxing the mixture of phenol, epoxidizing agent and solvent until the reaction is complete, then treating the mixture with an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite until no reaction is obtained on starch/potassium iodide paper.

The epoxide V may spontaneously cyclize at room temperature, or it may be cyclized by (a) an acid catalyst (PTSA) and/or like protic catalyst in an inert solvent such as 1,2-dichloroethane, or (b) a basic catalyst, such as sodium hydride or a tertiary amine, in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The products are characterized by formula VI, as Outlined in Scheme IV.

The phenol precursors II and IIA can be prepared by Claisen rearrangement of the appropriate substituted compounds of formula VII as outlined in Scheme V.

Scheme V ##STR26##

When R.sup.1 is hydrogen at position two, the product is ordinarily a mixture of the two isomeric forms IIA an II. When R.sup.1 is other than hydrogen, only the isomeric form II is obtained. The rearrangement is effected by heating the allyloxyphenyl precursor VII at a moderately elevated temperature--for example a temperature within the range of from about 120.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C. The precursor VII per se (i.e., neat) may be used or it may be in solution in a suitable inert solvent, such as N,N-dimethylaniline. Alternatively, the rearrangement can be effected at about 0.degree. C. to room temperature by employing a Lewis acid catalyst, such as boron trichloride, in an inert solvent, such as methylene chloride, following a procedure described by R. Barner, et al., Helv. Chim. Acta, 56, 14 (1973). It is to be noted that in some cases, at least, when the precursor is heated at a temperature within the upper portion of the indicated range--for example, above about 200.degree. C.--cyclization may occur, in addition to the rearrangement.

Generally speaking, mixtures of the benzofuran and benzopyran will be obtained from all of the cyclization procedures, the relative proportions of the two materials depending upon the character of the moieties R.sub.2, R.sub.4 and R.sub.7 and the method, (a), (b), (c), or epoxidation, followed by treatment with acid or base to effect the cyclization.

Allyloxyphenyl precursors VII can be prepared by treating a solution of the appropriate substituted compounds of formula VIII with appropriate allyl halides IX.

Scheme VI ##STR27## The reaction is best run with the bromide at about room temperature to 100.degree. C. in an inert solvent (such as acetone, acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide) in the presence of Potassium carbonate.

Precursor phenols VIII can be prepared by conventional procedures, as by heating a mixture of an appropriate phthalic or 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and an appropriate aniline X ##STR28## in acetic acid, toluene or xylene. The reaction can be catalyzed in xylene or toluene by an amine such as triethylamine or DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene). Procedures for preparing such precursor phenols VIII are well known, being described inter alia, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,981, European Patent Application No. 61,741 and United Kingdom Patent Application No. 2,046,754, and in references cited therein.

Alternatively, allyloxyphenyl precursors VII can be prepared by heating a mixture of an appropriate anhydride, such as phthalic or 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, and an appropriate allyloxyaniline of formula XI ##STR29## in acetic acid, these anilines being prepared from the corresponding allyloxynitrobenzenes (as by treating the nitrobenzene with stannous chloride in a solvent. such as ethyl acetate), the allyloxynitrobenzenes being prepared by treating the corresponding nitrophenols with the appropriate allyl halides IX as described earlier in Scheme VI.

The thio-analogs, where J is as defined in the 5-position, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, R is fluorine and is in the 4-position and R.sub.1 is chlorine and is in the 2-position, may be prepared as described below. The allylphenol XII when treated with N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride in the presence of DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) in DMF at about 0.degree. C. to room temperature affords thiocarbamate XIII as outlined in Scheme VII.

Scheme VII ##STR30##

Thermal rearrangement of XIII may be effected in a suitable inert solvent such as o-dichlorobenzene at 150.degree.-250.degree. C. to produce carbamate derivative XIV. Cyclization of XIV with an anhydrous acid, such as hydrogen bromide in acetic acid at refluxing temperatures affords XV as outlined in Scheme VIII.

Scheme VIII ##STR31##

Treatment of XIV with N-bromosuccinimide in a mixture of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform at about 0.degree. C. to room temperature affords the bromide XVI. Reaction of XVI with a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate at refluxing temperature gives the acetate derivative XVII, as outlined in Scheme IX.

Scheme IX ##STR32##

Hydrolysis of XVII, for example with refluxing aqueous ethanolic hydrogen chloride or treatment of XVI with dimethylsulfoxide containing traces of moisture at about 80.degree.-110.degree. C. results in the formation of the alcohol derivative XVIII as outlined in Sheme X.

Scheme X ##STR33## Oxidation of XVIII, for example with a mixture consisting of pyridinium dichromate, acetic anhydride, and tert-butanol in an inert solvent as previously described would afford the tert-butyl ester XIX, where R.sub.4 =C(CH.sub.3).sub.3. Hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester may be achieved for example with trifluoroacetic acid as described above to produce the carboxylic acid XX, where R.sub.4 =H. Esterification of XX with diazomethane in methylene chloride at 0.degree. C. would afford methyl ester XXI, where R.sub.4 =CH.sub.3. This is outlined in Scheme XI.

Scheme XI ##STR34##

Compounds of Formula I wherein R.sub.3 is one of the defined functional moieties can be prepared by treatment of an appropriate compound of Formula I by conventional procedures and reagents, as illustrated in the Examples, hereinafter. Thus, various subclasses of compounds of formulae I can be prepared as follows from precursors wherein R.sub.3 is --CH(R.sub.2)--OH.

Compounds wherein R.sub.3 is --CH(R.sub.2)--OH, (1) upon treatment with a carboxylic acid anhydride or acid chloride produce an ester, CHR.sub.2 OC(O)R.sub.4 ; (2) by treatment of the alcohol with an alkylsulfonyl chloride produce a sulfonate. CHR.sub.2 OSO.sub.2 (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl); or (3) treatment of the alcohol with cyanic acid, an isocyanate, or a carbamoyl chloride produce carbamates, CHR.sub.2 OC(O)N(R.sub.2).sub.2, CHR.sub.2 OC(O)N(R.sub.2)OCH.sub.3, and CHR.sub.2 OC(O)N(R.sub.2)Ph.

Compounds wherein R.sub.3 is --C(R.sub.2)=NO(R.sub.6) also may be prepared by conventional procedures: oxidation of an appropriate compound of Formula I wherein R.sub.3 is --CH(R.sub.2)OH with a mixture of oxalyl chloride, dimethylsulfoxide and triethylamine, according to the procedure reviewed by A. J. Mancuso and D. Swern, Synthesis. 165 (1981), to form an aldehyde or ketone wherein R.sub.3 is --C(O)--(R.sub.2), which can be subsequently treated with a hydroxylamine to form the oxime, (--C(R.sub.2).dbd.NOR.sub.6).

The aldehyde, upon treatment with methylene triphenylphosphorane in a suitable inert solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide or benzene at about 0.degree. C. to 70.degree. C., produces the olefin wherein R.sub.3 is CH.dbd.CH.sub.2. Such Wittig-type reactions are reviewed in A. Maercker, Org. React., 14, 270 (1965) and H. House, "Modern Synthetic Reactions", Benjamin, Menlo Park, Calif., 1972, pp. 682-709.

Compounds wherein R.sub.3 is --C(O)--O(R.sub.4), --C(O)N(R.sub.4)(R.sub.2), --C(O)Cl or --CN can be prepared by conventional treatment of an alcohol, --CH(R.sub.2)--OH where R.sub.2 is hydrogen, with Jones' reagent or pyridinium dichromate to give the corresponding carboxylic acid, R.sub.3 is --C(O)OH. Alternatively, oxidation of the alcohol, where R.sub.2 is hydrogen, with pyridinium dichromate in the presence of tert-butanol and acetic anhydride in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride at about 0.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. as described by E. J. Corey and B. Samuelsson, J. Org. Chem., 49, 4735 (1984), affords the tertiary butyl ester, R.sub.3 .dbd.CO.sub.2 C(CH.sub.3).sub.3. Hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester with trifluoroacetic acid at about 0.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. provides the carboxylic acid, R.sub.3 is CO.sub.2 H. The carboxylic acid which can be converted to a salt, or to an ester CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, or to an amide --C(O)N(R.sub.4)(R.sub.2 ), by treatment of the acid with thionyl chloride to form the acid chloride (R.sub.3 .dbd.--C(O)Cl) and treatment of the acid chloride with an appropriate alcohol R.sub.4 --OH or amine H--N(R.sub.4)(R.sub.2), respectively. Treatment of the acid chloride with ammonia produces the unsubstituted amide, which is dehydrated by conventional procedures to the nitrile, R.sub.3 =--CN. Treatment of the acid chloride with the lithium dianion of methyl phenyl sulfone in tetrahydrofuran (THF), conversion of the resultant intermediate to the corresponding O,O-diphenylenol phosphate derivative, and reduction with sodium in a liquid ammonia-THF solution affords the acetylene derivative, where R.sub.3 is C.tbd.CH. Such procedures are described by P. A. Bartlett et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 100, 4852 (1978).

Compounds wherein R.sub.3 is C(R.sub.2)(R.sub.7)CN are prepared by treating an appropriate compound of Formula I wherein R.sub.3 is --CH(R.sub.2)OH, with mesyl chloride to form the mesylate, and treating the mesylate with potassium cyanide.

Compounds wherein R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 haloalkyl are prepared by treating an appropriate compound of Formula I wherein R.sub.3 is --CH(R.sub.2)OH with a carbon tetrahalide derivative in the presence of triphenylphosphine in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride following the procedures of P. J. Kocienski et al., J Org. Chem., 42, 353 (1977).

Compounds of Formula I can also be prepared by the following general methods:

J=J-1, J-2 in addition to the methods already described, these compounds can be prepared by treating an appropriate phthalic or tetrahydrophthalic anhydride with an appropriate aniline, by fusing the two reagents at a temperature of 120.degree.-220.degree. C., or by refluxing a mixture of the reagents in a solvent such as acetic acid, toluene or xylene. The reaction can be catalyzed in xylene or toluene by an amine such as triethylamine or DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene). The products wherein one or both of X and Y is (are) sulfur can be prepared by treating (i.e., thionating) a product wherein X and Y are both oxygen with phosphorus pentasulfide or Lawesson's Reagent (2,4-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide), in an inert solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene or chloroform at room temperature to reflux temperature, according to the method of S. O. Lawesson et al., Nouv. J. Chim., 4, 47 (1980).

J=J-3: such are prepared by reacting 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride with an appropriate aniline in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or toluene to give an intermediate acid-amide. The resulting intermediate is dehydrated with DCC (1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) or like dehydrating/condensation agent Reference: U.S. Pat. No. 4,472,190.

J=J-4, Z=nitrogen, X=O, Y=O or S: 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)piperidazine is treated with an iso(thio)cyanate prepared from an appropriate aniline by conventional methods, and treating the resulting intermediate product with sodium hydride. Alternatively, an appropriate N-(alkoxycarbonyl)hydrazine is treated with an appropriate iso(thio)cyanate, and the resulting intermediate is cyclized with a base to provide a urazole. Alkylation of the disodium salt of the urazole with 1,4-dibromobutane or 1,5-dibromopentane yields the desired product. Reference: European Pat. No. 104484; German Offenlegungschrift No. 3,504,051.

Reference: U.S. Pat. No. 4,560,752. Thionation as described for J=J-1, provides those compounds wherein both X and Y=S.

J=J-5: these are prepared by methods analogous for those described for J=J-4, Z=carbon except that the (thio)urea intermediate is treated with either aqueous hydrochloric acid or sodium methoxide in methanol. Reference: European Pat. No. 70,389.

J=J-6: an appropriate aniline is diazotized and coupled with pipecolinic acid in the presence of triethylamine. Reference: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,599,104; 4,002,636; 3,939,174.

J=J-7: an appropriate aniline is diazotized, and the product is reduced with stannous chloride to give a phenylhydrazine. The phenylhydrazine or its corresponding hydrochloride salt are condensed with a 2-(alkoxycarbonyl)cycloalkanone in an inert solvent such as toluene or ethanol, optionally in the presence of a basic catalyst such as triethylamine or sodium acetate, to afford an intermediate 4,5-fused-2,3-dihydropyrazol-3-one derivative. The intermediate is halogenated with phosphorous oxychloride or phosphorous oxybromide, optionally in the presence of a dehydrohalogenating agent such as N,N-diethylaniline at about 130.degree.-160.degree.

Formulations

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in Cconventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

TABLE 22______________________________________ Active Weight Percent* Ingredient Diluent(s) Surfactant(s)______________________________________Wettable Powders 20-90 0-74 1-10Oil Suspensions, 3-50 40-95 0-15Emulsions, Solutions,(including EmulsifiableConcentrates)Aqueous Suspension 10-50 40-84 1-20Dusts 1-25 70-99 0-5Granules and Pellets 0.1-95 5-99.9 0-15High Strength 90-99 0-10 0-2Compositions______________________________________ *Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or a Diluent equals 100 weight percent.

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0.degree. C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.

The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., Mcgraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

The ingredients are blended and milled to pass through a 100 mesh screen. This material is then added to a fluid bed granulator, the air flow is adjusted to gently fluidize the material, and a fine spray of water is sprayed onto the fluidized material. The fluidization and spraying are continued until granules of the desired size range are made. The spraying is stopped, but fluidization is continued, optionally with heat, until the water content is reduced to the desired level, generally less than 1%. The material is then discharged, screened to the desired size range, generally 14-100 mesh (1410-149 microns), and packaged for use.

Utility

Test results indicate that the compounds of the present invention are active herbicides. They have utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or post-emergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. Some of the compounds have utility for selective weed control in crops such as rice, wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, sugarbeets and cotton. Alternatively, the subject compounds are useful to modify plant growth.

The rates of application for the compounds of the invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use .as selective or general herbicides, the crop species involved, the types of weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foliage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels of around 0.001 to 20 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for plant growth modification or for situations where only short-term persistence is required, such as a herbicide for fallow land.

The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide, non-limiting examples of which are listed below.

The herbicidal properties of the subject compounds were discovered in a number of greenhouse tests. The test procedures and results follow. ##STR79##

Test A

Seeds of crabgrass (digitaria spp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), giant foxtail (Setaria feberii), wild oats (Avena fatua), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti-), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), sorghum, corn, soybean, sugarbeet, cotton, rice, wheat, barley and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with the test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were treated with a soil/foliage application. At the time of treatment, the plants ranged in height from 2 to 18 cm. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually rated for response to treatment. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a numerical scale extending from 0=no injury, to 10=complete kill. The accompanying descriptive symbols have the following meanings:

C=chlorosis/necrosis; B=burn; D=defoliation; E=emergence inhibition; G=growth retardation; H=formative effect; U=unusual pigmentation; X=axillary stimulation; S=albinism; and Y=abscised buds or flowers.

It is noted that several compounds of this test show little or no activity; it is thought that greater activity would be shown at higher rates of use.

In the following examples, the species of plants that were tested were:

Test Procedures

The preemergence (soil) herbicidal activity of compounds of formula I were evaluated by planting seeds of downy brome, johnsongrass, yellow foxtail, barnyardgrass, yellow millet, blackgrass, hemp sesbania, velvetleaf, morningglory, prickly sida, sicklepod and garden cress in test tubes, nominally measuring 25.times.200 millimeters, filled about three-quarters full of untreated soil, in each case covered on top with about 2.5 cubic centimeters of soil, treated with 0.1 milligram of the test compound, to give a dosage of 1.0 Pound of test compound per acre. The seeds were planted on top of the treated soil and covered with about 1.5 cubic centimeters of untreated soil. The planted soil was held under a controlled regiment of temperature, moisture, and light. At 10 days, the amounts of germination and growth in each tube were evaluated on a 0 to 9 scale.

The postemergence (foliar) herbicidal activity of compounds of formula I were evaluated by spraying 9-day-old large crabgrass plants, 9-day-old pigweed plants, 6-day-old johnsongrass plants, 9-day-old velvetleaf plants, 8-day-old yellow foxtail plants, 9-day-old sicklepod plants, 5-day-old morningglory plants, 5-day-old barnyardgrass plants, 6-day-old yellow millet plants, 9-day-old nightshade plants, 9-day-old prickly sida plants and 7-day-old field bindweed plants to runoff with 2.4 milliliters of a liquid formulation containing 0.5 milligram of the test compound (one pound of the test compound per acre). The sprayed plants were held under a controlled regiment of temperature, moisture and light for 7 to 8 days, when the effect of the test compound was evaluated visually.

Results of the preemergence and postemergence herbicidal activity tests are set forth in Tables 1 and 22.

Postemergence

Three round pans (25 cm diameter by 12.5 cm deep) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers, crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), rice (Oryza sativa), and teaweed (Sida spinosa). The second pot was planted with green foxtail (Setaria viridis), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max), and giant foxtail (Setaria faberi). The third pot was planted with wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus L.), downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris), wild oat (Avena fatua L.), common chickweed (Stellaria media), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), and rape (Brassica napus). The plants were grown for approximately fourteen days, then sprayed postemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent.

Preemergence

Three round pans (25 cm diameter by 12.5 cm deep) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with nutsedge tubers, crabgrass, sicklepod, jimsonweed, velvetleaf, lambsquarters, rice, and teaweed. The second pot was planted with green foxtail, cocklebur, morningglory, cotton, johnsongrass, barnyardgrass, corn, soybean, and giant foxtail. The third port was planted with wheat, barley, wild buckwheat, downy brome, sugarbeet, wild oat, chickweed, blackgrass, and rape. The three pans were sprayed preemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent.

Treated plants and controls were maintained in the greenhouse for approximately 24 days, then all rated plants were compared to controls and visually reated for plant response.

Response ratings are based on a scale of 0 to 100 where 0=no effect, and 100=complete control. A dash (-) response means no test.

Test C

Seeds of the treated crop and weed species were planted in a blend of peat and sandy loam and grown in the greenhouse for 10 to 21 days before postemergence treatment of the subject herbicide. Preemergence treatments were prepared immediately before herbicide application using sandy loam soil as the planting media. The compound of interest was diluted in a non-phytotoxic solvent composed of; acetone, water, a humectant and Poe sorbitan monolaurate, with aliquots taken for the various rates tested. Herbicide applications were made using a belt spray applying the material over the plant leaves for postemergence treatments and over the moistened soil surface in the preemergence treatments. After herbicide treatment, the pots were removed to the greenhouse where they were maintained under standard conditions for 21 days at which time visual evaluations of each species were made using a scale of 0 equal to no injury or control and 100 equal to complete kill of the plant. The data for this evaluation is shown in Table C.
