Herbicidal benzoylisothiazoles

Description

DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to novel substituted benzoylisothiazoles, processes for their preparation, and their use as herbicides.
The patent literature (EP 0 527 036, EP 0 527 037, EP 0 560 482, EP 0 580 439, EP 0 588 357, EP 609 797, EP 0 609 798, EP 0 636 622, WO 94/14782, WO 94/18179, WO 95/15691 and WO 95/16678) discloses substituted 4-benzoyl-5-cycloalkylisoxazoles as a class of compounds which have a pronounced herbicidal activity pre-emergence. 4-(2-Sulfonylmethyl-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-5-cyclopropyl-isoxazole, a representative of this class of compound, is developed by Rhone-Poulenc as a herbicidally active substance used pre-emergence against harmful mono- and dicotyledons in maize (RPA 201772, Technical Bulletin).
Moreover, the herbicidal and insecticidal activity of substituted 4-alkyl- and 4-cycloalkyl-5-aryl- or -5-hetarylisoxazoles has been disclosed (GB 2 284 600, WO 95/ 22903, WO 95/22904 and WO 95/25105).
The herbicidal activity of the known compounds is not only insufficiently effective post-emergence, but also only partly satisfactory pre-emergence and combined with incomplete crop plant compatibility.
Herbicidal or insecticidal 4-benzoylisothiazoles according to the invention have not been found in the prior art as yet.
As yet, 4-benzoylisothiazoles have only been of moderate interest with a view to their synthesis. While substituted isothiazoles and their carbocycle-fused derivatives have been the object of basic investigations (for example: D. L. Pain, B. J. Peart, K. R. H. Wooldridge, Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Vol. 6, Part 4B, p. 131, Ed. A. R. Katritzky, Pergamon Press, Oxford 1984), only individual cases of acylated and, in particular, benzoylated derivatives have been described in the literature (for example: A. J. Layton, E. Lunt, J. Chem. Soc. (1968) 611, A. Alberola, F. Alonso, P. Cuadrado, C. M. Sanudo, Synth. Commun. 17 (1987) 1207, A. Alberola, F. Alonso, P. Cuadrado, C. M. Sanudo, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 25 (1988) 235).
Some hydroxypropylaminocarbonyl-substituted 4-benzoylisothiazoles have been investigated in EP 0 524 781 and EP 0 617 010 as muscle-relaxing agents and as suitable therapeutic amides to treat incontinence. EP 0 449 223 maintains that 3,5-di(tertiary-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzoylisothiazoles are inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase and thus have an antiinflammatory action.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel herbicidally active ingredients with an improved profile of action and improved crop plant compatibility.
Surprisingly, the benzoylisothiazoles of the general formula 1 according to the invention show a pronounced herbicidal activity against harmful plants combined with crop plant compatibility.

Preferred organomagnesium compounds are alkylmagnesium halides, for example methyl- or ethylmagnesium bromide or methyl- or ethylmagnesium chloride. Preferred organolithium compounds which are suitable are aliphatic lithium compounds such as lithium diisopropylamide, n-butyllithium or secondary-butyllithium.
The choice of organic solvent depends on the starting materials employed. In general, all inert solvents are suitable. Preferred inert solvents are aliphatic, cyclic or acyclic ethers, eg. diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane. In addition, inert aromatic solvents such as benzene or toluene are also used.
The starting materials are normally reacted with each other in stoichiometric amounts. However, it may be advantageous to employ one of the starting materials in an excess of 0.1 to 10 mol equivalents, for example to improve the yield.
Examples of especially preferred compounds of the general formula 1 are compiled in the tables which follow. The definitions of the radicals are not only especially preferred in the specific combination of radicals, but also in each case by themselves.

SYNTHESIS EXAMPLES
Example 1
Synthesis of 4-(2'-sulfonylmethyl-41-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-5-cyclopropylisothiazole 7.214
The following operations are carried out with the exclusion of moisture. To 60 ml of a 1.4 M solution of (0.08 mol) of methylmagnesium bromide in toluene/tetrahydrofuran 3:1 (v/v) there are added 9.0 g (0.04 mol) of 4-iodo-5-cyclopropylisothiazole in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran with ice-cooling in such a way that the reaction temperature does not exceed 5.degree. C. The reaction mixture is treated with a solution of 20.4 g (0.08 mol) of 2-sulfonylmethyl-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride in 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After the exothermic reaction has subsided, residues of organometallic compounds are hydrolyzed with 100 ml of 10% strength hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture is taken up in diethyl ether, worked up with water, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and freed from solvent in vacuo. The crude product is purified on 250 g of silica gel using cyclohexane/ethyl acetate mixtures 10:1 to 4:1 (v/v). Yield 7.2 g (43%) of colorless amorphous solid, 270 MHz .sup.1 H NMR (CDCl.sub.3), .delta.

The compounds I and their salts which can be used in agriculture are suitable as herbicides, both as isomer mixtures and in the form of the pure isomers. The herbicidal compositions comprising I are highly capable of controlling vegetation on non-crop areas, especially at high rates of application. In crops such as wheat, rice, maize, soybeans and cotton, they act against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds without damaging the crop plants to a considerable extent. This effect is observed mainly at low rates of application.
Depending on the application method in question, the compounds I or compositions comprising them can additionally be used in a large number of other crop plants for eliminating undesirable plants. Suitable crops are, for example, the following:
Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Arachis hypogaea, Asparagus officinalis, Beta vulgaris ssp. altissima, Beta vulagris spp. 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 spp., Manihot esculenta, Medicago sativa, Musa spp., Nicotiana tabacum (N.rustica), Olea europaea, Oryza sativa, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Pinus spp., Pisum sativum, Prunus avium, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Ribes sylestre, Ricinus communis, Saccharum officinarum, Secale cereale, Solanum tuberosum, Sorghum bicolor (s. vulgare), Theobroma cacao, Trifolium pratense, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Vicia faba, Vitis vinifera, Zea mays.
In addition, the compounds I can also be used in crops which tolerate the action of herbicides as a result of breeding, including genetic engineering methods.
Application of the herbicidal compositions, or of the active ingredients, can be effected pre- or post-emergence. If the active ingredients are less well compatible with 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 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 applied for example in the form of directly sprayable 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 pouring. The use forms depend on the intended purposes; in any case, they should guarantee the finest possible distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention.
Suitable inert additives are essentially: mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point such as kerosene or diesel oil, furthermore coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg. paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes or their derivatives, alkylated benzenes or their derivatives, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, ketones such as cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, eg. amines such as N-methylpyrrolidone or 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 substances, 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 substance, wetting agent, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if desired, solvent or oil, which are suitable for dilution with water.
Suitable surfactants (adjuvants) are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, eg. ligno-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, of alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, of alkyl lauryl ether sulfates and of fatty alcohol sulfates, salts of sulfated hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols and of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene or of the naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonylphenol, alkylphenyl polyglycol ethers, 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 spreading and dusts can be prepared by mixing or grinding the active substances 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, 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 ingredients I in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within wide limits. In general, the formulations comprise from 0.001 to 98% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 95% by weight, of active ingredient. The active ingredients are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum).
For example, Compound 11 according to the invention can be formulated as follows:
I. 20 parts by weight of Compound No. 11 are dissolved in a mixture composed of 80 parts by weight of alkylated benzene, 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 8 to 10 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of oleic acid N-monoethanolamide, 5 parts by weight of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 5 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil. Pouring the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water and finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous dispersion comprising 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
II. 20 parts by weight of Compound 11 are dissolved in a mixture composed of 40 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 30 parts by weight of isobutanol, 20 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of isooctylphenol and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil. Pouring the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water and finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous dispersion comprising 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
III. 20 parts by weight of Active Ingredient 11 are dissolved in a mixture composed of 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction of boiling point 210 to 280.degree. C. and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil. Pouring the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water and finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous dispersion comprising 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
IV. 20 parts by weight of Active Ingredient 11 are mixed thoroughly with 3 parts by weight of sodium diisobutylnaphthalenesulfonate, 17 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a lignosulfonic acid from a sulfite waste liquor and 60 parts by weight of pulverulent silica gel, and the mixture is ground in a hammer mill. Finely distributing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water gives a spray mixture which comprises 0.1% by weight of the active ingredient.
V. 3 parts by weight of Active Ingredient 11 are mixed with 97 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin. This gives a dust which comprises 3% by weight of the active ingredient.
VI. 20 parts by weight of Active Ingredient 11 are mixed intimately with 2 parts by weight of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 8 parts by weight of fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, 2 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a phenol/urea/formaldehyde condensate and 68 parts by weight of a paraffinic mineral oil. This gives a stable oily dispersion.

To widen the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic effects, the benzoylisothiazoles I can be mixed with a large number of representatives of other groups of herbicidally or growth-regulatory active ingredients and applied concomitantly. Components in mixtures are, for example, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, amides, aminophosphoric acid and its derivatives, aminotriazoles, anilides, (het)aryloxyalkanoic acids and their derivatives, benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 2-aroyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones, hetaryl aryl ketones, benzylisoxazolidinones, meta-CF.sub.3 -phenyl derivatives, carbamates, quinolinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, chloroacetanilides, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives, diazines, dichloropropionic acid and its derivatives, dihydrobenzofurans, dihydrofuran-3-ones, dinitroanilines, dinitrophenols, diphenyl ether, dipyridyls, halocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, ureas, 3-phenyluracils, imidazoles, imidazolinones, N-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides, oxadiazoles, oxiranes, phenols, aryloxy- or hetaryloxyphenoxypropionic esters, phenylacetic acid and its derivatives, phenylpropionic acid and its derivatives, pyrazoles, phenylpyrazoles, pyridazines, pyridinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, pyrimidyl ethers, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, triazines, triazinones, triazolinones, triazolecarboxamides, uracils.
It may furthermore be advantageous to apply the compounds I, alone or in combination with other herbicides, as a mixture with further crop protection agents, for example with pesticides or agents for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Also of interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are employed for treating nutritional and trace element deficiencies. Non-phytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.
The rates of application of active ingredient 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, target plants and the growth stage.
USE EXAMPLES
The herbicidal activity of the benzoylisothiazoles of the formula I was demonstrated by greenhouse experiments:
The culture containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% of humus as substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species.
In the pre-emergence treatment, the active ingredients, which were suspended or emulsified in water, were applied directly after sowing by means of finely distributing nozzles. The containers were irrigated slightly to promote germination and growth and subsequently covered with translucent plastic shrouds until the plants had rooted. This cover caused uniform germination of the test plants unless this was adversely affected by the active ingredients.
To carry out 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 ingredients which had been suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants are either sown directly and grown in the same containers, or they are 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 0.5, or 0.25, kg/ha of a.s.
Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10-25.degree. C. or 20-35.degree. 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 of 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 belonged to the following species:
