Herbicidal compounds

The invention described in this application pertains to weed control in agriculture, horticulture, and other fields where there is a desire to control unwanted plant growth. More specifically, the present application describes herbicidal 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones, the corresponding 2-aryldihydro-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diones and sulfur analogs of said diones, compositions of them, methods of preparing them, and methods for preventing or destroying undesired plant growth by preemergence or postemergence application of the heribicdal compositions to the locus where control is desired. The present compounds may be used to effectively control a variety of both grassy and broadleaf plant species. The present invention is particularly useful in agriculture, as a number of the compounds described herein show a selectivity favorable to soybean, corn, cotton, cereal crops such as wheat, upland rice or paddy rice, or other crops at application levels which prevent the growth of or destroy a variety of weeds.
Herbicidal 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones and sulfur analogs thereof are disclosed in parent application Ser. No. 807,790 filed Dec. 12, 1985, (of which the present application is a continuation-in-part), which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 755,749 filed July 2, 1985 which is in turn a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 619,880 filed June 12, 1984, and in published International (PCT) application WO 86/00072 published Jan. 3, 1986. All of said applications are incorporated herein by reference. The present application contains additional disclosure as to the 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)-diones and processes for their manufacture, and also discloses the corresponding dihydrotriazinediones and their use as herbicidal compounds. 1,2,4-Triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones as a class are generally associated with the pharmaceutical or animal health arts and are commonly referred to therein as 6-azauracils. Such compounds, however, are relatively unknown in the herbicide art. Herbicidal activity is disclosed in German Offenlegungschrift No. 3,016,304 for optionally substituted triazinediones having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, hydroxymethyl or an ester derivative thereof such as a benzoic acid ester, optionally substituted aminomethyl, optionally halosubstituted 2-tetrahydrofuranyl, 2-(2H,5H)dihydrofuranyl, or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, and R.sup.2 is hydrogen, an optionally substituted aminomethyl, optionally halo-substituted 2-tetrahydrofuranyl, or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, with certain provisos; and for dihydrotriazolinones having the formula ##STR2## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen, a hydroxymethyl ester derivative such as benzoic acid ester, 2-tetrahydrofuranyl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, and R.sup.2 is hydrogen, 2-tetrahydrofuranyl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, with certain provisos.
European published patent application 0 011 693 of 1979 refers to phenyltriazinediones having a --NHSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3 substituent on the phenyl group. The compounds of the present invention do not require such a substituent for their herbicidal effects.
It has been discovered that 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)-diones the corresponding 2-aryldihydro- 1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diones and sulfur analogs of said diones have herbicidal properties and may be used effectively either preemergently or postemergently for herbicidal purposes.

In a preferred embodiment (including compounds particularly suitable for postemergence application to cereal crops) Q.sup.1 R.sup.5 is the residue of a sulfonamide, of the formula --NR.sup.7 R.sup.5 where R.sup.5 may be, for instance, alkylsulfonyl, haloalkylsulfonyl, cycloaklylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl (including heteroarylsulfonyl such as isooxazolylsulfonyl or thienylsulfonyl), aralkylsulfonyl, aminosulfonyl, dialkylaminosulfonyl, alkylaminosulfonyl, alkylthioalkylsulfonyl (e.g. CH.sub.3 SCH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 --), alkylsulfonylalkylsulfonyl (e.g. CH.sub.3 SO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 --) alkenylsulfonyl, phenylalkenylsulfonyl. Here R.sup.5 may be bicyclic or polycyclic such as benzofuransulfonyl, dihydrobenzofuransulfonyl, naphthalenesulfonyl, benzodioxosulfonyl, anthraquinonesulfonyl or 1,4-naphthoquinonesulfonyl and R.sup.5 may carry one or more substituents such as halogen, nitro, amino, fluorosulfonyl, alkyl, haloalkyl, aminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, haloalkoxy, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, haloalkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cyanoalkoxy, epoxyalkoxy, dialkylaminoalkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkoxyalkylthio, cyano, aminocarbonyloxy, alkylaminocarbonyloxy, dialkylaminocarbonyloxy, acylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, or hydroxycarbonyl; for instance, when R.sup.5 is arylsulfonyl, the aryl radical of R.sup.5 may be an unsubstituted phenyl or naphthyl or benzofuranyl or may be a phenyl or naphthyl or benzofuranyl carrying one or more of the foregoing substituents, with any alkyl portion of a substituent having, for instance, 1 to 4 carbon atoms. In this preferred embodiment R.sup.7 may be hydrogen or alkyl as previously indicated; R.sup.7 may also be a salt-forming group (e.g. when R.sup.5 is alkylsulfonyl, cycloalkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl); this may be a metal (e.g. Na, K or Ca) or ammonium (e.g. NH.sub.4 or lower alkyl-substituted ammonium). R.sup.5 and R.sup.7 may comprise a divalent group such that NR.sup.5 R.sup.7 together constitute, for instance, a saccharin ring structure, ##STR7##
The aryl moiety of the present aryltriazinediones may be a heteroaromatic radical such as a furyl, thienyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, oxazolyl, pyrrolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, or isothiazolyl radical which may carry one or more substituents, for example, halogen and/or alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 6 (preferably 1 to 4) carbon atoms. Preferably, however, the aryl moiety will be a phenyl radical, particularly a halophenyl radical, more particularly a dihalophenyl radical.
In a preferred embodiment for herbicidal activity, the present compounds will have the formula: ##STR8## in which X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are both halogen atoms and Z is as defined above. X.sup.1 is preferably chlorine or, especially, fluorine. X.sup.2 is preferably chlorine or bromine.
With respect to the triazinedione portion of the molecule, R.sup.1 may be alkyl of 1 to 6 (preferably 1 to 4) carbon atoms; haloalkyl of 1 to 56 (preferably 1 to 3) carbon atoms; cyanoalkyl of 1 to 5 (preferably 1 to 3) carbon atoms; alkenyl or alkynyl of 2 to 5 (preferably 3 to 5) carbon atoms; alkoxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, alkylsulfinylalkyl, or alkylsulfonylalkyl of 2 to 5 (preferably 2 to 4) carbon atoms; or amino. R.sup.1 will frequently and conveniently be a lower alkyl group such as methyl or ethyl, especially methyl. When R.sup.1 is haloalkyl, the alkyl radical may be substituted with one or more same or different halogen atoms, preferably the same and preferably fluorine. Typical fluoroalkyl groups include fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, and 3-fluoropropyl. Examples of other R.sup.1 substituents include cyanomethyl, amino, 2-propenyl, 2-propynyl, 2-methoxyethyl, methylthiomethyl, methylsulfinylmethyl, and methylsulfonylmethyl. In a preferred embodiment, R.sup.1 is methyl or a fluoromethyl having 1 or 2 fluorine atoms, especially methyl. R.sup.2 may be hydrogen; halogen, especially fluorine, chlorine, or bromine; alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, especially methyl; haloalkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, particularly a fluoroalkyl such as trifluoromethyl; cyanoalkyl of 1 to 4 alkyl carbon atoms such as cyanomethyl; alkenyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms such as 2-propenyl; alkynyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms such as 2-propynyl; alkoxyalkyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, for example, 2-methoxyethyl; amino; hydroxycarbonyl or alkoxycarbonyl of 1 to 4 alkyl carbon atoms. Compounds in which R.sup.2 is hydroxycarbonyl, while in themselves or as salts are generally herbicidal at high application rates, are more useful as intermediates (for the corresponding compounds in which R.sup.2 is hydrogen) than as herbicides. In a preferred embodiment, R.sup.2 is hydrogen or methyl, especially hydrogen.
The groups W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 are independently selected from oxygen and sulfur. Thus, W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 may both be oxygen or sulfur, W.sup.1 may be oxygen and W.sup.2 may be sulfur, or W.sup.1 may be sulfur and W.sup.2 may be oxygen. In a preferred embodiment W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 are both oxygen.
A preferred subgenus for high herbicidal activity comprises the compounds of the formula ##STR9## in which X.sup.2 is bromine or chlorine and Z is as defined above. Compounds in which the fluorine atom at C-2 of the phenyl ring is replaced by chlorine atom and Z is other than hydrogen are also of particular interest.
It will be understood that any alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group herein may be straight chain or branched chain radicals. Thus, 1-methylethyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, and 1-methyl-2-propynyl are branched chain examples of alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl radicals respectively. Halogen may be fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Haloalkyl radicals may have one or more same or different halogen atoms.
Any herbicidal compound of the present invention in which R.sup.2 is CO.sub.2 H or in which Z is or contains SO.sub.3 H or CO.sub.2 H or --SO.sub.2 NH--may, of course, be converted into a salt such as a sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, magnesium, or mono-, di-, or tri(C.sub.1 or C.sub.4 alkyl)ammonium salt which may also be used as an herbicide. Such salts are within the scope of the present invention.
A number of the compounds of the invention may more readily exist in hydrated form rather than as non-hydrated materials. It will be understood that the presence or absence of water of hydration in the compounds is of no concern in determining the metes and bounds of the present invention.
R.sup.22 is preferably hydrogen, but may be a substituent such as lower alkanoyl (e.g. acetyl); such a substituent may be added by treating the compound in which R.sup.22 is H with a suitable reagent (e.g. with acetic anhydride in high boiling solvent such as dioxane in the presence of an acetylation catalyst such as N,N-dimethylaminopyridine).
In each aspect of the invention, it is often preferably that any alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or alkylene radical have less than 6 carbon atoms.
Representative compounds according to the invention are shown in Table 1 below.
The present compounds may be prepared by methods described in the literature or by methods analogous or similar thereto and within the skill of the art.
Many of the present compounds may be prepared as illustrated in the following chemical equations in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl radical, such as ##STR10##
Method A: R.sup.2 =H or CO.sub.2 H ##STR11##
An appropriately substituted or unsubstituted aniline, II, is treated first with aqueous hydrochloric acid, sodium acetate, and sodium nitrite, then with malonyldiurethane and sodium acetate to produce intermediate III. Compound III is cyclized by treatment first with ethanolic potassium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran, then with aqueous hydrochloric acid to give the triazinedionecarboxylic acid Ic which is decarboxylated in the presence of mercaptoacetic acid and xylene to give the intermediate Compound Id. Treatment of Id with R.sup.1 Y, in which Y is a suitable leaving group, in the presence of a base gives the N-substituted triazinedione Ie.
Method B: R.sup.2 =H, alkyl ##STR12##
An appropriately substituted or unsubstituted aniline is reacted with sodium nitrite and tin (II) chloride in aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce the corresponding hydrazine, Compound IV, which is converted to hydrazone V by treatment with acetone in sulfuric acid and tetrahydrofuran. Treatment of V with potassium cyanate in aqueous acetic acid gives triazolidinone VI which upon reaction with R.sup.2 COCO.sub.2 H and sulfuric acid in dioxane produces triazinedione Ih. Reaction of Ih with R.sup.1 Y wherein Y is a leaving group gives product Ii.
Method C:
R.sup.1 =H, alkyl (e.g. methyl), haloalkyl etc. R.sup.2 =H, alkyl (e.g. methyl) etc. R.sup.3 =ethyl or other easily split-off group. ##STR13##
The reaction of an arylhydrazine with glyoxylic acid (R.sup.2 =H) in dilute hydrochloric acid produces 2-oxoacetic acid arylhydrazone XI. Treatment of this arylhydrazone XI with thionylchloride followed by a urethane produces N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-oxoacetamide arylhydrazone XIII. These first two steps are a modification of a procedure described by HO House, et al Organic Synthesis, Vol V, 258-263. Cyclization of arylhydrazone XIII may be accomplished by dissolving XIII in ethanol followed by treatment with dilute potassium hydroxide to produce the corresponding triazine dione Ih or Ii.
In the starting material (compound II), "Ar" may be of the formula ##STR14## in which the X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and Z substituents are the same as those in the desired product, as when such a starting material is readily available, either commercially or by preparation, and the substituent Z is stable under the conditions of the process. In some instances the desired Z substituent may be unstable under the conditions used in preparing the starting material II or in converting II into product Ie or Ii. In such cases or where it is otherwise not desirable or convenient to have the desired Z substituent in place at the outset, in Compound II, it may be advantageous to incorporate the desired Z group into the molecule further on in the process, for example, subsequent to the addition of the R.sup.1 group.
For example, the products in which Z is --OR.sup.9, --OSO.sub.2 R.sup.10, --OCR.sup.3 R.sup.4 CO--Q.sup.1 R.sup.5, or --OR (R is other than lower alkyl) may advantageously be prepared from Compound Ie (or Ii) in which Z is lower alkoxy or benzyloxy as illustrated in the following chemical equations: ##STR15##
In the equations above R.sup.13 represents the appropriate radical --R.sup.9, --SO.sub.2 R.sup.10, --CR.sup.3 R.sup.4 --CO--Q.sup.1 R.sup.5, or --R and Y represents a leaving group. The phenolic intermediate If is readily prepared from the corresponding compound Ie in which Z is lower alkoxy or benzyloxy by treatment with an acidic reagent such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated hydrobromic acid, or a mixture of hydrobromic and acetic acids to effect dealkylation, or, where Z is benzyloxy, by hydrogenolysis over palladium on charcoal (H.sub.2 /Pd/C/C.sub.2 H.sub.5 OH). Reaction of the 5-hydroxyphenyl intermediate If with the appropriate R.sup.9 --Y, R.sup.10 --SO.sub.2 Y, Y--CR.sup.3 R.sup.4 --CO--Q.sup.1 R.sup.5, or R--Y, i.e., R.sup.13 --Y in the equation above, in the presence of a base gives product Ig.
Similarly, products corresponding to Ie or Ii in which Z is --SR.sup.13, where R.sup.13 has the meaning given above, may be prepared by treatment of the corresponding 5-mercaptophenyl compound with R.sup.13 --Y. The 5-mercaptophenyl compound may be prepared from the corresponding compound in which Z is hydrogen (Ie or Ii, Z=H) by the sequence of steps illustrated below: ##STR16## Compound Ie in which Z is hydrogen may be nitrated to give the corresponding 5-nitro compound Ij, which may be reduced to give the corresponding 5-amino compound Ik. Compound Ik may be treated first with NaNo.sub.2 /HCl, then with SO.sub.2 /CuCl to give the 5-chlorosulfonyl compound Il which may be reduced with Sn/HCl to give the corresponding 5-mercapto compound Im.
As with the 5-OH and 5-SH intermediates, the 5-NH.sub.2 compound, Ik, is an important intermediate which may be alkylated or acylated to introduce other Z substituents into the molecule. Compounds in which Z is alkoxycarbonylamino, di(alkylcarbonyl)amino, --NR.sup.7 R, or --NR.sup.7 --CR.sup.3 R.sup.4 --CO--Q.sup.1 R.sup.5 may be prepared in this manner from the corresponding 5-NH.sub.2 compound. An alternative method for introducing certain --NHR or --NH--CR.sup.3 R.sup.4 --CO--Q.sup.1 R.sup.5 Z groups is illustrated in the equation below: ##STR17## For example, Compounds 89 (Z=--NHCH(CH.sub.3).sub.2), 206 (Z=--NH--cyclohexyl), and 232 (Z=--NH--CH(CH.sub.3)--CO.sub.2 C.sub.2 H.sub.5) shown in Table 1 below were prepared by condensing the corresponding 5-NH.sub.2 compound with the appropriate ketone in the presence of borane in tetrahydrofuran.
The compound of formula Ie or Ii in which Z is --NHN.dbd.CR.sup.11 R.sup.12 may also be produced from the corresponding compound in which Z is --NH.sub.2 by reacting the 5-NH.sub.2 compound with NaNO.sub.2 and SnCl.sub.2 in aqueous HCl to give the corresponding hydrazine (Ie, Z=--NHNH.sub.2), followed by condensation with R.sup.11 COR.sup.12.
Example 1 below illustrates a process for making a compound of this invention having a sulfonamide group at the 5-position of the benzene ring by reacting (a) a compound having a phenolic OH group at the 5-position with (b) an N-aryl (or alkyl etc.) sulfonylalkanoic acid amide having a reactive leaving substituent (e.g. Br, Cl, mesylate or tosylate) on the alkane portion of the molecule, e.g. ##STR18## Such a reaction can be carried out in the presence of a base (e.g. in acetone in the presence of sodium or potassium carbonate). Another method for introducing the sulfonamide group is by reacting (a) a compound having an oxypropionic acid substituent at that 5-position with (b) an aryl sulfonylisocyanate.
The compounds in which Z is --N(R.sup.21)--SO.sub.2 R.sup.20 may be prepared from the amino compounds (Ie or Ii, Z=--NH.sub.2) by treatment with R.sup.20 SO.sub.2 Cl to convert the --NH.sub.2 group to an --N(SO.sub.2 R.sup.20).sub.2 group. This may then be treated (as with a base such as NaOH) to form the corresponding --NR.sup.21 SO.sub.2 R.sup.20 group, where R.sup.21 is a salt-forming group (e.g. Na); this may then be treated with an acid to form the corresponding (acidic) --NHSO.sub.2 R.sup.20 group. Subsequent alkylation (as by treatment with the appropriate alkyl iodide) forms the corresponding ##STR19## group. When the reaction sequences involves R.sup.20 SO.sub.2 Cl treatment of an intermediate having hydrogen on the 4-nitrogen of the triazine ring, that hydrogen may also be replaced, during such treatment, by R.sup.20 SO.sub.2 -- to form an intermediate (such as a compound which has 3 R.sup.20 SO.sub.2 -- groups) from which the R.sup.20 SO.sub.2 -- group on said 4-nitrogen may be removed readily by the treatment with the base, after which the appropriate R.sup.2 group may be substituted on said 4-nitrogen.
The amino compounds (Ie or Ii, Z=NH.sub.2) may also be converted into the corresponding compounds in which Z is a halogen atom by treatment with nitrous acid under conditions which give a diazonium salt followed by treatment of the salt with the appropriate halogen reagent, for example, CuCl, CuBr, KI, or HBF.sub.4.
The compounds of formula I in which W.sup.1 or W.sup.2 or both are sulfur may be prepared as follows. Compound Ie or Ii may be treated with one equivalent of P.sub.2 S.sub.5 in pyridine to give the corresponding compound of formula I in which W.sup.2 is sulfur; or Ie or Ii may be treated with at least two equivalents of P.sub.2 S.sub.5 to produce the dithione derivative (I, W.sup.1 =W.sup.2 =S). Compound I in which W.sup.1 is sulfur and W.sup.2 is oxygen may be prepared by substituting KSCN for KOCN in Method B above to produce the triazolidinethione corresponding to the triazolidinone VI which may then be carried through the Method B process to give the 1,2,4-triazine-3-thione-5-one product.
The 2-aryl-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-diones may be prepared by the selective reduction of the corresponding 1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)-diones, e.g. by using powdered zinc in an aqueous acid medium (e.g. sulfuric acid or more preferably acetic acid) according to the general method set forth in Coll. Czech. Chem. Comm. 39, 3760 (1974). Other methods and descriptions of the hydrogenated compounds are found in Neunhoeffer and Wiley "Chemistry of 1,2,3-Triazines and 1,2,4-Triazines, Tetrazines, and Pentazines" pub. 1978 by Interscience, pages 613-618 and 1006-1033.
In the Examples below (and in the International and parent applications mentioned above) two halogen substituents are present on the "Ar" portion of the molecule before the triazinedione ring is formed; that is, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are halogen in the aryl amine or aryl hydrazine. Instead, in each of the processes illustrated above (and in the process of those Examples) one or both of the halogens may be placed on Ar after the triazinedione ring is formed. For instance, starting with 2-fluoroaniline, the following intermediates may be produced by the sequences illustrated below: ##STR20##
Similar sequences of reactions may be carried out using non-fluorinated aryl amines. For instance, one sequence of reactions, starting with 3-nitroaniline, involves the following intermediates:
1-(5-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, then
1-(5-nitrophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, then
1-(5-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, then the corresponding compound having the desired Z substituent (or a precursor thereof) at a meta-position on the benzene ring such as
1-[5-(N-ethylsulfonyl)aminophenyl]-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, followed by halogenation to place, for instance, two chloro (or bromo) substituents at the 2- and 4-positions of the benzene ring.
Variations in the sequence in which the reactions are carried out will produce other intermediates such as:
1-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, which may be converted to the corresponding 2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl compound by appropriate treatment with KF to replace the 2-chloro substituent by a 2-fluoro substituent;
also, 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, which may be converted to
1-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, which may then be chlorinated, as by appropriate treatment with SO.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, to the corresponding 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl compound.
Another sequence involves formation of:
2-fluoro-4-nitrophenylhydrazine, then
1-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, then
1(-2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, then
1-(2-fluoro-4-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione, followed by treatment to replace the amino group by a chlorine (as by treatment with NaNO.sub.2 /HCl and then CuCl).
Another starting material may be, for instance, 4-fluorophenyl methyl ketone, which may be converted to the desired product through sequences forming intermediates such as those illustrated below, in which the acetyl group in converted to a hydroxyl group by a Baeyer-Villiger reaction (by the action of a peracid): ##STR21##

This solid was dissolved in 100 mL of fresh toluene to which 2.7 g (0.030 mole) of urethane was added. The resultant mixture was heated at reflux for three hours, removing about 50 mL of solvent by means of a Dean-Stark trap. The reaction mixture was cooled and the solvent removed by evaporation under reduced pressure leaving a yellow residue. This residue was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol to which was added 50 mL of an aqueous 10% potassium hydroxide solution. The resultant mixture was heated on a steam bath for 15 minutes. The mixture was allowed to cool and was diluted with additional water. The dilute aqueous mixture was washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the acidic mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium and sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure leaving a residue. This residue was dissolved in about 20 mL of ethyl acetate and filtered through a pad of silica gel. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure leaving a solid.

The concentration of the test compound in solution was varied to give a range of application rates, generally 8.0 kg/ha and submultiples thereof. The flats were placed in a greenhouse and watered regularly at the soil surface for 21 days at which time phytotoxicity data were recorded.
The flats for the postemergence test were placed in a greenhouse and watered for 8-10 days, then the foliage of the emerged test plants was sprayed with a solution of the test compound in acetone-water containing up to 0.5% sorbitan monolaurate. After spraying the foliage was kept dry for 24 hours, then watered regularly for 21 days, and phytotoxicity data recorded.
For testing the effectiveness with paddy rice, plastic flats (35.5 cm.times.6.4 cm.times.12.7 cm) were lined with plastic film and filled to a depth of about 3.0 cm with steam-sterilized sandy loam soil. The soil was leveled and seeds of rice (Oryza sativa var. Mars or Labelle) and flatsedge rice (Cyperus iria), a weed, were planted and topped with about 0.5 cm of sandy loam soil. The flat was placed in the greenhouse and watered for 7 to 8 days. Hemp Sesbania (Sesbania exaltata), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa Crus-galli), and green sprangletop (Leptochloa imbricata) were planted in the remaining space in the flat. The flats were again placed in the greenhouse and watered for another seven or eight days so that all the seeds sprouted. The flats were then drenched with water to a level of 2 to 3 cm above the soil. Directly after their drenching the candidate herbicides were applied as aqueous-acetone solutions at a range of rates equivalent to 0.5 kg/ha and submultiples thereof, i.e. 0.25 kg/ha, 0.125 kg/ha, and so on. The appropriate amount of test solution was pipetted into the water layer above the soil, distributing the solution evenly. After application of the test solution the drenched flats were placed in the greenhouse and watered regularly to keep the soil covered with water. After 14 days phytotoxicity data were recorded and expressed as percent control as compared to a flat which had not been treated with herbicide. The temperature of the greenhouse was about 30.degree. C.
Herbicidal data at selected application rates are given for various compounds of the invention in Table 3 and Table 4 below. The test compounds are identified therein by numbers which correspond to those in Table 1.
In Tables 3 and 4 below:
"kg/ha" is kilograms per hectare, and
"% C" is percent control.
It is clear from the data that the generic class of aryltriazinediones and sulfur analogs thereof described and illustrated herein is characterized by herbicidal activity, and that the degree of this activity varies among specific compounds within this class and to some extent among the species of plant to which these compounds may be applied. Thus, selection of a specific herbicidal compound for control of a specific plant may readily be made.
For herbicidal application, the active compounds as above defined 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.
For preemergence application these herbicidal compositions are usually applied either as sprays, dusts, or granules in the areas in which suppression of vegetation is desired. For postemergence control of established plant growth, sprays or dusts are most commonly used. These formulations may contain as little as 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 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. Emulsifiable concentrates 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 y weight of the herbicidal composition.
Typical wetting, dispersing, or emulsifying agents used in agricultural formulations include, for example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts, polyhydric alcohols, and other types of surface active agents, many of which are available in commerce. The surface active agent, when used, normally comprises 1% to 15% by weight of the herbicidal composition.
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 Freons, 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.
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, for example, be in the range of about 4 to 250 g/ha such as 7 or 15 to 65 g/ha.
The active herbicidal compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other herbicides, e.g. they may be mixed with,m 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 (atrizine), and 2- [4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino -2-methylpropanenitrile (cyanazine); dinitrolaniline herbicides such as 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzeneamine (trifluralin); and aryl urea herbicides such as N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea (diuron) and N,N-dimethyl-N'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]urea (fluometuron).
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.
