where the compounds claimed may be present both in the trans and in the cis form or as a mixture of these isomers.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to compositions which comprise the compounds of the formula I, and to the use of the compounds I and of compositions comprising them for controlling harmful plants, to novel benzoylpyrazoles of the formula II and to a process for preparing the compounds I and II.

Herbicidally active 4-benzoylpyrazoles are disclosed in the literature, for example in EP-A 282 944 or WO 96/26206. However, 4-benzoyl-5-chloropyrazoles have hitherto not been described. In EP-A 282 944, it is only mentioned in a general way that the reaction of 4-benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazoles with acyl halides should lead to 4-benzoyl-5-chloropyrazoles.

Benzylidenepyrazolones, some of which have herbicidal activity, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,382,948 and JP 61268670. All the structures of the prior art have a very specific substitution pattern in the phenyl moiety of the benzylidenepyrazolone: in the position para to the methyne bridge, for example, there is in each case a hydrogen or halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl or nitro group.

However, the herbicidal properties of the prior art compounds and their compatibility with crop plants are not entirely satisfactory.

It is an object of the present invention to provide novel, in particular herbicidally active, compounds having improved properties.

We have found that this object is achieved by the benzylidenepyrazolones of the formula I according to the invention and by their herbicidal activity.

The present invention also provides stereoisomers of the compounds of the formula I. Both pure stereoisomers and mixtures thereof are included.

The compounds of the formula I may be present as cis or trans isomers and may contain, depending on the substitution pattern, one or more chiral centers, in which case they may also be present as mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. The invention provides both the pure isomers, enantiomers or diastereomers and mixtures thereof.

Benzylidenepyrazolones of the formula I and benzoylpyrazoles of the formula II according to the invention can be prepared as described below.

Benzylidenepyrazolones of the formula Ia (X=hydrogen) can be synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of pyrazolones of the formula III, in which the radicals R 1 and R 7 are as defined above, and a substituted benzaldehyde of the formula IV, in which the radicals R 2 to R 4 are as defined above, similarly to the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,382,948.

Furthermore, the compounds Ia are obtainable for example by reductive dehalogenation from compounds of the formula I in which X is bromine.

Benzylidenepyrazolones Ib (X=bromine or chlorine) can be prepared from the compounds Ia described above by halogenation with bromine or chlorine and subsequent dehydrohalogenation in the presence of base.

The benzylidenepyrazolones Ib are preferably obtained from ketones of the formula V, which are either known or which can be prepared similarly to known compounds (see DE-A 19709118.0 and WO 96/26200), by reaction with acyl halides.

Suitable acyl halides are, for example, the halides of sulfuric acid, carbonic acid and phosphoric acid. For the exchange with chlorine, preference is given to using thionyl chloride, phosgene, phosphorus pentachloride and particularly preferably phosphorus oxychloride. For the exchange with bromine, preference is given to using phosphorus oxybromide.

The reaction can be carried out in a customary manner, with or without solvent or with a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions. Generally, it is possible to control the selectivity of the reaction by addition of a base of low nucleophilicity such as, for example, pyridine, dimethylaminopyridine or dimethylformamide.

The reaction temperature is generally from 0° C. to 200° C., preferably from 50° C. to 140° C.

In this reaction, a mixture of both isomers with respect to the newly formed double bond may be obtained. In this case, the isomers can be separated, if required (for example by crystallization, extraction or chromatography).

A byproduct of this reaction are the compounds II which, depending on the substitution pattern and the way in which the reaction is carried out, may be obtained in smaller, similar or higher proportions. Many of these compounds are novel, and they are of considerable interest as precursors for herbicidally active compounds (see for example EP-A 282 944).

The organic moieties mentioned for the substituents R 1 -R 7 or as radicals on phenyl rings or heterocycles represent collective terms for lists of the individual group members.

The compounds I and their agriculturally useful salts are suitable, both in the form of isomer mixtures and in the form of the pure isomers, as herbicides. The herbicidal compositions comprising I control vegetation on non-crop areas very efficiently, especially at high rates of application. They act against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds in crops such as wheat, rice, maize, soya and cotton without causing any significant damage to the crop plants. This effect is mainly observed at low rates of application.

Depending on the application method in question, the compounds of the formula I, or compositions comprising them, can additionally be employed in a further number of crop plants for eliminating undesirable plants. Examples of suitable crops are the following:

Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Arachis hypogaea, Asparagus officinalis, Beta vulgaris spec. altissima, Beta vulgaris spec. rapa, Brassica napus var. napus, Brassica napus var. napobrassica, Brassica rapa var. silvestris, Camellia sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius, Carya illinoinensis, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Coffea arabica ( Coffea canephora, Coffea liberica ), Cucumis sativus, Cynodon dactylon, Daucus carota, Elaeis guineensis, Fragaria vesca, Glycine max, Gossypium hirsutum , ( Gossypium arboreum, Gossypium herbaceum, Gossypium vitifolium ), Helianthus annuus, Hevea brasiliensis, Hordeum vulgare, Humulus lupulus, Ipomoea batatas, Juglans regia, Lens culinaris, Linum usitatissimum, Lycopersicon lycopersicum, Malus spec., Manihot esculenta, Medicago sativa, Musa spec., Nicotiana tabacum ( N.rustica ), Olea europaea, Oryza sativa, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Pinus spec., Pisum sativum, Prunus avium, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Ribes sylvestre, Ricinus communis, Saccharum officinarum, Secale cereale, Solanum tuberosum, Sorghum bicolor ( s. vulgare ), Theobroma cacao, Trifolium pratense, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Vicia faba, Vitis vinifera and Zea mays.

In addition, the compounds I may also be used in crops which tolerate the action of herbicides owing to breeding, including genetic engineering methods.

The active compounds or the herbicidal compositions can be applied pre- or post-emergence. If the active compounds are less well tolerated by certain crop plants, application techniques may be used in which the herbicidal compositions are sprayed, with the aid of the spraying equipment, in such a way that they come into as little contact as possible, if any, with the leaves of the sensitive crop plants, while the active compounds reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing underneath, or the bare soil surface (post-directed, lay-by).

The compounds I, or the herbicidal compositions comprising them, can be used for example in the form of ready-to-spray aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, also highly-concentrated aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, materials for spreading, or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading or watering. The use forms depend on the intended use; in any case, they should guarantee the finest possible distribution of the active compounds according to the invention.

Suitable inert auxiliaries are essentially: mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene and diesel oil, furthermore coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes and their derivatives, alkylated benzenes and their derivatives, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and cyclohexanol, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, e.g. amines such as N-methylpyrrolidone, and water.

Aqueous use forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, suspensions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the benzylidenepyrazolones, either as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetting agent, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates comprising active compound, wetting agent, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if desired, solvent or oil, which are suitable for dilution with water.

Suitable surfactants are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, e.g. ligno-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, lauryl ether sulfates and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols, and also of fatty alcohol glycol ether, condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene, or of the naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonylphenol, alkylphenyl or tributylphenyl polyglycol ether, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetate, sorbitol esters, lignin-sulfite waste liquors or methylcellulose.

Powders, materials for scattering and dusts can be prepared by mixing or grinding the active compounds together with a solid carrier.

Granules, eg. coated granules, impregnated granules and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths, such as silicas, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate and ammonium nitrate, ureas, and products of vegetable origin, such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powders, or other solid carriers.

The concentrations of the active compounds I in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within wide ranges. In general, the formulations comprise from 0.001 to 98% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 95% by weight of at least one active compound. The active compounds are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum).

Non-phytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.

The rates of application of active compound are from 0.001 to 3.0, preferably 0.01 to 1.0, kg/ha of active substance (a.s.), depending on the control target, the season, the target plants and the growth stage.

Use Examples

The herbicidal activity of the benzylidenepyrazolones of the formula I was demonstrated by the following greenhouse experiments:

The culture containers used were plastic pots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% of humus as the substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species.

For the pre-emergence treatment, the active compounds, which had been suspended or emulsified in water, were applied directly after sowing by means of finely distributing nozzles. The containers were irrigated gently to promote germination and growth and subsequently covered with translucent plastic hoods until the plants had rooted. This cover caused uniform germination of the test plants, unless this was adversely affected by the active compounds.

For the post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first grown to a plant height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on the plant habit, and only then treated with the active compounds which had been suspended or emulsified in water. The test plants for this purpose were either sown directly and grown in the same containers, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to treatment. The rate of application for the post-emergence treatment was 0.125 or 0.0625 kg/ha of a.s.

Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10-25° C. or 20-35° C. The test period extended over 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended, and their response to the individual treatments was evaluated.

Evaluation was carried out using a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants, or complete destruction of at least the aerial parts, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of growth.

The plants used in the greenhouse experiments were from the following species:

Scientific name        Common name
Harmful plants
Chenopodium album      lambsquarters
Echinochloa crus-galli barnyard grass
Polygonum persicaria   ladys thumb
Setaria faberii        giant foxtail
Useful plant
Zea mays               corn

The result showed that compound No. I.119 controls the abovementioned harmful plants very effectively (>98% damage of the plants), while the useful plant maize was not noticeably damaged (0% damage) by the treatment.

The comparative experiment stated in Table A shows the improved herbicidal action of the compound I.119 according to the invention compared to the compound A, known from JP-A 61268670 (CA, 106: 209479).
