An article by M. Dooley, et al., (Aust. J. Chem., 1989, 42, 747-50) describes the preparation of 1-(substituted -phenyl)-5-amino-4-cyanopyrazoles, intermediates in the present case, in a one-pot reaction between substituted hydrazines, malononitrile, and triethyl orthoformate. This process is similar to that described in Step A of Example 1 of this application.
It has now been found that 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-substituted-carbonylamino-4-substituted-pyrazoles are highly active pre- and postemergence herbicidal compounds. The novel compounds of this invention differ from the compounds of the prior art especially in the nature of the substituent on the 5-amino group of the pyrazole ring.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

R.sup.5 is selected from halogen or haloalkyl;
R.sup.8 is halogen;
R.sup.9 is haloalkyl;
R.sup.10 is hydrogen,halogen, or a group --NR.sup.14 R.sup.15 in which R.sup.14 is selected from hydrogen or alkyl; R.sup.15 is alkyl, alkynyl, or a group --CHR.sup.16 --Ar.sup.1 in which R.sup.16 is selected from hydrogen or alkyl; and Ar.sup.1 is selected from tetrahydrofuran-2-yl; furan-2-yl, thien-2-yl, and phenyl or phenyl substituted with halogen or alkoxy, and when
R.sup.10 is a group --NR.sup.14 R.sup.15, in addition to the substituents listed above, R.sup.1 may be alkylcarbonyl, haloalkylcarbonyl, or cycloalkylcarbonyl; and R.sup.2 may be hydrogen, alkylcarbonyl, or cycloalkylcarbonyl.
Preferred are those compounds in which each alkyl and alkoxy contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, each cycloalkyl contains 3-6 carbon atoms, and each alkynyl contains 3-4 carbon atoms.
The compounds of this invention were prepared by one of the following routes: ##STR11##
The process for the production of compounds of formula (I) has been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,787,930 and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,312. The reaction of (I) with an appropriately substituted acetyl chloride (e.g., Cl--R.sup.1 =acetoxyacetyl chloride) and triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) yielded a 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-(substituted-methylcarbonyl)amino-4-nitropyrazole (II). ##STR12##
This alternative method for producing compounds of formula (II) begins with the reaction of a 5-amino-1-(substituted-aryl)pyrazole of formula (III) with an appropriately substituted-acetyl chloride and triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran to produce a 1-(substituted-aryl) -5-(substituted-methylcarbonyl)aminopyrazole (IV). Subsequent nitration of (IV) with nitric acid in acetic anhydride and acetic acid produced a 1-(substituted-aryl) -5-(substituted-methylcarbonyl)amino-4-nitropyrazole of formula (II). In cases where the R.sup.1 group of (II) was methylcarbonyloxymethylcarbonyl, the compound was treated with sodium hydroxide in ethanol to yield a 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-hydroxymethylcarbonylamino -4-nitropyrazole (V). The reaction of (V) with a chloride of an R.sup.13 group (e.g., methylaminosulfonyl chloride) yielded a 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-(substituted -oxymethylcarbonyl)amino-4-nitropyrazole (VI) (e.g., 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-methylaminosulfonyloxymethylcarbonylamino-4-nitropyrazole). ##STR13##
An appropriately substituted-arylhydrazine was reacted with ethoxymethylenemalononitrile in acetic acid and water to produce a substituted-arylhydrazomethylenemalononitrile (VII). Heating (VII) in 2 -ethoxyethanol yielded a 5-amino-1-(substituted-aryl)-4-cyanopyrazole (VIII). Treatment of (VIII) with pyridine and acetyl chloride in methylene chloride produced a 1-(substituted-aryl)-4-cyano-5-bis(methylcarbonyl)aminopyrazole (IX). Heating (IX) in ethanol and water yielded a 1-(substituted-aryl)-4-cyano-5-methylcarbonylaminopyrazole (X). The reaction of (X) with an appropriately substituted-acetyl chloride (e.g., Cl-R.sup.1 =acetoxyacetyl chloride) and triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran yielded a 1-(substituted-aryl)-4-cyano-5-(N-methylcarbonyl-N-substituted-methylcarbonyl)aminopyrazole (XI). ##STR14##
In cases where the compound of formula (VIII) was 5-amino-1-(3,6-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yl)-4-cyanopyrazole (VIIIa), an --NR.sup.14 R.sup.15 group was added by heating this compound with an appropriately substituted amine (e.g., benzylamine) in tetrahydrofuran producing a 5-amino-1-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-6-substituted -aminopyridin-2-yl)-4-cyanopyrazole (XII). The reaction of (XII) with an appropriately substituted-acetyl chloride (e.g., Cl-RI =propionyl chloride) yielded a 5-substituted-carbonylamino-1-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl -6-substituted-aminopyridin-2-yl)-4-cyanopyrazole (XIII). ##STR15##
To produce a pyrazole with a chlorine in the 4-position, a compound of formula (XIV) was treated with sulfuryl chloride in methylene chloride. This process is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,787,930. Reaction of (XV) with an appropriately substituted-acetyl chloride (e.g., acetoxyacetyl chloride) and triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran yielded a 4-chloro-1-(substituted-aryl)-5-(N-methylcarbonyl-N-substituted-methylcarbonyl)aminopyrazole (XVI).
Each of these methods of preparation is exemplified below.

During the addition the reaction temperature rose to 55.degree. C., and a yellow slurry formed. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for approximately sixteen hours and then diluted with two liters of diethyl ether and shaken. The resultant mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a solid residue. This solid was purified by crystallization from 445 mL of methanol and 235 mL of water to yield, after drying, 91.5 grams of 3,6-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-ylhydrazine.

The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a residue. This residue was dissolved in methylene chloride, and the organic solution was washed in succession with water, dilute hydrochloric acid, and water. The washed organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a pale yellow solid residue. This residue, in 200 mL of petroleum ether, was heated to reflux and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was dried to yield 3.0 grams of 5-amino-1-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-6-phenylmethylaminopyridin -2-yl)-4-cyanopyrazole. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.

After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and then was heated at reflux for approximately 19 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving an oil. This oil was partitioned between diethyl ether and water. The organic phase was washed in succession with water, dilute hydrochloric acid, and water. The washed organic phase was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a residue. This residue was dissolved in 13 mL of ethanol and 13 mL of water. The resultant mixture was stirred and heated at reflux. Potassium carbonate (0.20 gram, 0.0014 mole) was added, and the mixture was stirred and heated at reflux for approximately 15 minutes. The solvents were removed by distillation under reduced pressure, leaving a waxy solid. This solid was purified by crystallization from ethanol and water to yield 0.51 gram of 1-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-6-phenylmethylaminopyridin-2-yl)-4-cyano-5-ethylcarbonylaminopyrazole, m.p. 139-142.degree.

HERBICIDAL ACTIVITY
The 1-(substituted-aryl)-5-substituted-carbonylamino -4-substituted-pyrazoles of this invention were tested in pre- and postemergence evaluations using a variety of broadleaf and grasseous crops and weeds. The test species used in demonstrating the herbicidal activity of this invention include cotton (Gossypium hirsutum var. DPL61), soybean (Glycine max var. Williams), field corn (Zea mays var. Agway 425X), rice (Oryza sativa var. Labelle), wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Wheaton), morningglory (Ipomea lacunosa or Ipomea hederacea), wild mustard (Brassica kaber), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), green foxtail (Setaria viridis), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), common chickweed (Stellaria media), and common cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum).
Preparation of Flats
Preemergence:
Two disposable fiber flats (8 cm.times.15 cm.times.25 cm) for each rate of application for each candidate herbicide are filled to an approximate depth of 6.5 cm with steam-sterilized sandy loam soil. The soil is leveled and impressed with a template to provide five or six evenly spaced furrows 13 cm long and 0.5 cm deep in each flat.
In one case, seeds of cotton, soybean, corn, rice, and wheat are planted in the furrows of the first flat, and seeds of morningglory, wild mustard, velvetleaf, barnyardgrass, green foxtail, and johnsongrass are planted in the furrows of the second flat. The six-row template is employed to firmly press the seeds into place. A topping soil of equal portions of sand and sandy loam soil is placed uniformly on top of each flat to a depth of approximately 0.5 cm.
In another case, seeds of soybean, wheat, corn, green foxtail, and johnsongrass are planted in the furrows of the first flat, and seeds of velvetleaf, morningglory, common chickweed, cocklebur, and blackgrass are planted in the furrows of the second flat. The five-row template is employed to firmly press the seeds into place. A topping soil of equal portions of sand and sandy loam soil is placed uniformly on top of each flat to a depth of approximately 0.5 cm.
In each case, the flats are first watered, then sprayed with a solution of test compound as described below.
Postemergence:
Two flats for each rate of application for each herbicide candidate are also prepared for postemergence application. The postemergence flats are prepared in the same manner as discussed above for the preemergence flats. The prepared flats are watered for 8-11 days, then the foliage of the emerged tests plants is sprayed with a solution of test compound as described below. Application of Herbicides
In both the preemergence and postemergence tests, the candidate herbicides are applied as aqueous acetone solutions, usually at rates equivalent to 8.0 kilograms/hectare (kg/ha) and/or submultiples thereof, i.e., 4.0 kg/ha, 2.0 kg/ha, and so on.
The four flats (2 preemergence, 2 postemergence) are placed together and sprayed with 30 mL of test solution containing an appropriate amount of the test compound, i.e., approximately 7.5 mL of the test solution is sprayed on each of the four flats. Preemergence applications are made as sprays to the soil surface. Postemergence applications are made as sprays to the foliage. After treatment, the two preemergence flats are watered regularly at the soil surface for approximately 2 weeks, at which time phytotoxicity data are recorded. In the postemergence test the foliage is kept dry for 24 hours after treatment, then watered regularly for approximately 2 weeks, and phytotoxicity data recorded.
Preparation of Test Solutions
For flats of the size described above, an application rate of 8.0 kg/ha of active ingredient is equivalent to 0.06 g of active ingredient/flat (0.24 g for the four flats). A stock solution of 0.48 g of the candidate herbicide in 60 mL of a 50:50 mixture of water and acetone containing 0.5% (v/v) of sorbitan monolaurate emulsifier/solubilizer is divided into two 30 mL portions, each containing 0.24 g of the candidate herbicide. For the 8.0 kg/ha application, one of the 30 mL portions is sprayed undiluted onto the four flats (7.5 mL/flat). The remaining 30 mL portion of the stock solution is diluted with an additional 30 mL of the aqueous acetone/emulsifier mixture to provide 60 mL of a solution containing 0.24 g of candidate herbicide. As above, this solution is divided into two 30 mL portions, each containing 0.12 g of candidate herbicide. One of the 30 mL portions is applied, without further dilution, to the four flats for the 4 0 kg/ha rate. The remaining 30 mL portion is further diluted with an equal amount of aqueous acetone/emulsifier mixture, and the resulting 60 mL solution of 0.12 g candidate herbicide is divided into two 30 mL portions each containing 0.06 g of candidate herbicide. One of the 30 mL (0.06 g active) portions is used for the 2.0 kg/ha application rate and the other is used in the preparation of lower rate test solutions by the same serial dilution technique.
Phytotoxicity data are taken as percent control. Percent control is determined by a method similar to the 0 to 100 rating system disclosed in "Research Methods in Weed Science," 2nd ed., B. Truelove, Ed.; Southern Weed Science Society; Auburn University, Auburn, Ala., 1977. The rating system is as follows:

For herbicidal application, the active compounds are formulated into herbicidal compositions by admixture in herbicidally effective amounts with adjuvants and carriers normally employed in the art for facilitating the dispersion of active ingredients for the particular utility desired, recognizing the fact that the formulation and mode of application of a toxicant may affect the activity of the material in a given application. Thus, for agricultural use the present herbicidal compounds may be formulated as granules of relatively large particle size, as water-soluble or water-dispersible granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions, or as any of several other known types of formulations, depending on the desired mode of application.
These herbicidal compositions may be applied either as water-diluted sprays, or dusts, or granules to the areas in which suppression of vegetation is desired. These formulations may contain as little as 0.1%, 0.2% or 0.5% to as much as 95% or more by weight of active ingredient.
Dusts are free flowing admixtures of the active ingredient with finely divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, flours such as walnut shell and cottonseed flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which act as dispersants and carriers for the toxicant; these finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A typical dust formulation useful herein is one containing 1.0 part or less of the herbicidal compound and 99.0 parts of talc.
Wettable powders, also useful formulations for both pre- and postemergence herbicides, are in the form of finely divided particles which disperse readily in water or other dispersant. The wettable powder is ultimately applied to the soil either as a dry dust or as an emulsion in water or other liquid. Typical carriers for wettable powders include Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic diluents. Wettable powders normally are prepared to contain about 5-80% of active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion. For example, a useful wettable powder formulation contains 80.8 parts of the herbicidal compound 17.9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulfonate and 0.3 part of sulfonated aliphatic polyester as wetting agents. Frequently additional wetting agent and/or oil will be added to the tank mix for postemergence application to facilitate dispersion on the foliage and absorption by the plant.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applications are emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) which are homogeneous liquid or paste compositions dispersible in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the herbicidal compound and a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier, such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isophorone, or other non-volatile organic solvent. For herbicidal application these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carrier, and normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated. The percentage by weight of the essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the herbicidal composition.
Flowable formulations are similar to ECs except that the active ingredient is suspended in a liquid carrier, generally water. Flowables, like ECs, may include a small amount of a surfactant, and contain active ingredient in the range of 0.5 to 95%, frequently from 10 to 50%, by weight of the composition. For application, flowables may be diluted in water or other liquid vehicle, and are normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated.
Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents used in agricultural formulations include, but are not limited to, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts; alkylaryl polyether alcohols; sulfated higher alcohols; polyethylene oxides; sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils; fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters; and the addition product of long-chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide. Many other types of useful surface-active agents are available in commerce. The surface-active agent, when used, normally comprises from 1 to 15% by weight of the composition.
Other useful formulations include suspensions of the active ingredient in a relatively non-volatile solvent such as water, corn oil, kerosene, propylene glycol, or other suitable solvents.
Still other useful formulations for herbicidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a solvent in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentration, such as acetone, alkylated naphthalenes, xylene, or other organic solvents. Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relatively coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low boiling dispersant solvent carrier, such as the Freon fluorinated hydrocarbons, may also be used. Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are also useful formulations for herbicidal application of the present compounds. Such granular formulations are free-flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible. The soluble or dispersible granular formulations described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,920,442 are useful herein with the present herbicidal compounds. In use by the farmer on the field, the granular formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, flowable concentrates, solutions, etc., may be diluted with water to give a concentration of active ingredient in the range of say 0.1% or 0.2% to 1.5% or 2%.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be formulated and/or applied with insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, or other agricultural chemicals and may be used as effective soil sterilants as well as selective herbicides in agriculture. In applying an active compound of this invention, whether formulated alone or with other agricultural chemicals, an effective amount and concentration of the active compound is of course employed; the amount may be as low as, e.g. about 1 to 250 g/ha, preferably about 4 to 30 g/ha. For field use, where there are losses of herbicide, higher application rates (e.g., four times the rates mentioned above) may be employed.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other herbicides, e.g. they may be mixed with, say, an equal or larger amount of a known herbicide such as chloroacetanilide herbicides such as 2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide (alachlor), 2-chloro-N-(2 -ethyl-6-methylphenyl-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide (metolachlor), and N-chloroacetyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine (diethatyl-ethyl); benzothiadiazinone herbicides such as 3-(1-methylethyl)-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4-(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide (bentazon); triazine herbicides such as 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N-(1-methylethyl) -1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine), and 2-[4-chloro -6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino-2-methylpropanenitrile (cyanazine); dinitroaniline herbicides such as 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzeneamine (trifluralin); aryl urea herbicides such as N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea (diuron) and N,N -dimethyl-N'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]urea (fluometuron); and 2-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone.
It is apparent that various modifications may be made in the formulation and application of the compounds of this invention without departing from the inventive concepts herein as defined in the claims.
