DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Synthesis

The preparation of N-oxides, such as Ia (n=1) and Ib (n=1), from the corresponding pyridines, such as Ia (n=0) and Ib (n=0) can be carried out by any of several known methods as described in Chemistry of the Heterocyclic N-Oxides, Katritzky and Lagowski, Academic Press, New York, 1971.

The compounds of Formula I can be prepared by one or more of the methods described below in Equations 1, 2, 3 and 4.

As shown in Equation 1, compounds of Formula I, where J is other than J.sub.9 and J.sub.10, can be prepared by reacting a sulfonylisocyanate (W=0) or a sulfonylisothiocyanate (W=S) of Formula II with an appropriate heterocyclic amine of Formula III, wherein R and A are as previously defined.

Equation 1 ##STR25##

The reaction is carried out at 25.degree. to 100.degree. C. in an inert, aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride or xylene for 0.5 to 24 hours as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,405.

Compounds of Formula I, where W is S and R is H, (Id) can be prepared by reacting the appropriate sulfonamide of Formula IV with a heterocyclic isothiocyanate of Formula V, as shown in Equation 2.

Equation 2 ##STR26##

The reaction is carried out at 25.degree. to 80.degree. C. in an inert, aprotic solvent such as acetone or acetonitrile in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate for 0.5 to 24 hours. The required heterocyclic isothiocyanates V are prepared from the corresponding amines III as taught in EPO Publication No. 35,893.

Compounds of Formula I, where W is O (Ie) and J is other than J.sub.1, J.sub.2, J.sub.5, J.sub.6, J.sub.17, J.sub.18, J.sub.26, J.sub.27, J.sub.28, and J.sub.29 can be prepared by reacting the sulfonamides of Formula IV with an appropriate methylcarbamate of Formula VI in the presence of an equimolar amount of trimethylaluminum, as shown in Equation 3.

Equation 3 ##STR27##

The reaction is carried out at 25.degree. to 40.degree. in a solvent such as methylene chloride for 10 to 96 hours under an inert atmosphere as taught in EPO Publication No. 84,244 (7/27/83). The required carbamates VI are prepared by reacting the corresponding amines III with dimethylcarbonate or methyl chloroformate in the presence of a strong base.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula Ie can be prepared by reacting a sulfonylcarbamate of Formula VII with an appropriate amine of Formula III, as shown in Equation 4.

Equation 4 ##STR28##

The reaction is carried out at 50.degree. to 100.degree. C. in a solvent such as dioxane for 0.5 to 24 hours as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,443,243. The required carbamates VII are prepared by reacting the corresponding sulfonamides IV with diphenylcarbonate in the presence of a strong base.

The intermediate sulfonylisocyanates (W=O) and sulfonylisothiocyanates (W=S) of Formula II from Equation 1 can be prepared as shown in Equations 5, 6 and 7.

As shown in Equation 5, sulfonylisocyanates of Formula IIa, where J is other than J.sub.9 and J.sub.10, can be prepared by the reaction of sulfonamides of Formula IV with phosgene in the presence of n-butylisocyanate and a tertiary amine catalyst, at reflux in a solvent such as xylene by the method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,621.

Equation 5 ##STR29##

The sulfonylisocyanates can also be prepared from the sulfonamides by a two step procedure involving: (a) reacting the sulfonamides with n-butylisocyanate in the presence of a base such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3 at reflux in an inert solvent such as 2-butanone forming a n-butylsulfonylurea; and (b) reacting this compound with phosgene and a tertiary amine catalyst at reflux in xylene solvent. The method is similar to a procedure taught by Ulrich and Sayigh, Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, Vol. VI, p. 223-241, Academic Press, New York and London, W. Foerst Ed.

Alternatively, as shown in Equation 6, the sulfonylisocyanates of Formula IIa can be prepared by reacting the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides VIII with cyanic acid salts.

Equation 6 ##STR30##

The reaction is carried out at 25.degree. to 100.degree. C. in an inert aprotic solvent such as acetonitrile for 0.5 to 24 hours in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide and an alkali metal salt such as lithium iodide according to the teachings of Japanese Pat. No. 76/26,816 (Chem. Abst., 85: 77892e (1976)).

The sulfonylisothiocyanates of Formula IIb, where J is other than J.sub.9 and J.sub.10, can be prepared as shown in Equation 7, by contacting the sulfonamides of Formula IV with carbon disulfide in the presence of two equivalents of a strong base. The resulting salt is then reacted with phosgene according to the teachings of K. Hartke, Arch. Pharm., 299, 174 (1966).

Equation 7 ##STR31##

The sulfonamides of Formula IV of Equations 2, 3, 5 and 7 are important intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. The syntheses of the required sulfonamide intermediates are described in Equations 8, 9 and 10.

As shown in Equation 8, sulfonamides of Formula IV can be prepared from the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIII by treatment with either anhydrous or aqueous ammonia.

Equation 8 ##STR32##

The preparation of sulfonamides from sulfonyl chlorides is widely reported in the literature; for reviews see: F. Hawking and J. S. Lawrence, "The Sulfonamides," H. K. Lewis and Co., London, 1950 and E. H. Northey, "The Sulfonamides and Allied Compounds," Reinhold Publishing Corp. New York, 1948.

The sulfonamides of Formula IV can also be prepared from the corresponding thiol IX by the three step sequence shown in Equation 9.

Equation 9 ##STR33##

The first step involves chlorination of a mercaptan such as IX to give a sulfenyl chloride, the chlorine of which is subsequently displaced in a second step with a suitable ammonia equivalent such as aqueous ammonium hydroxide to provide a sulfenamide. In a final step, the intermediate sulfenamide can be oxidized to a sulfonamide, such as IV, using an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate according to the methods taught by R. Lejeune, J. Pharm. Belg., 39, 217 (1984).

The unsaturated sulfonamides of Formula IVa can also be prepared from the corresponding saturated sulfonamides of Formula IVb by the two step procedure shown in Equation 10, wherein G is --SO.sub.2 NR.sub.6 --, --CO.sub.2 --, --Q.sub.2 -- or --Q.sub.3 --, R.sub.24 is R.sub.5 or R.sub.7, and R.sub.25 is H or t-butyl.

Equation 10 ##STR34## where T.sub.1 is CH and T.sub.2 is N or

T.sub.1 is N and T.sub.2 is CH.

The first step involves benzylic bromination with N-bromosuccinimide to give a monobromide, which is subsequently dehydrobrominated in a second step by reaction with a suitable base such as triethylamine or potassium-t-butoxide in an inert solvent such as THF. This method has been used to prepare isocoumarins from 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins; see R. Barry, Chem. Rev., 64, 229 (1964).

The sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIII of Equations 6 and 8 can be prepared from the corresponding amines X by the method shown in Equation 11.

Equation 11 ##STR35##

The reaction involves diazotization of the amine X with sodium nitrite in HCl, followed by reaction of the diazonium salt with sulfur dioxide and cupric chloride in acetic acid in analogy to the teachings of Yale and Sowinski, J. Org. Chem., 25, 1824 (1960).

Alternatively, sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIII can be prepared by a modification of the above procedure whereby the diazotization reaction is carried out in dilute sulfuric acid and the resulting diazonium salt is reacted with sulfur dioxide, HCl and cupric chloride in a cosolvent mixture consisting of acetic acid-water (1:1) and an immiscible, inert solvent such as 1-chlorobutane or methylene chloride at 0.degree.-40.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours.

Some of the sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIII may be prepared by direct chlorosulfonation, depending on the substitution pattern on the ring and the nature of the substituent as will be known to one skilled in the art.

The sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIII can also be prepared from the chloro compounds XI by the two step sequence shown in Equation 12.

Equation 12 ##STR36## R.sub.26 =C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, CH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.5, or H; R.sub.27 =C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, CH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.5, H, or C(.dbd.NH)NH.sub.2.HCl;

M=K or Na.

The first step involves nucleophilic displacement of the chlorine atom with an alkyl or benzyl mercaptan or with thiourea to give an intermediate sulfide or thiouronium salt. The reaction can be carried out at 25.degree. to 80.degree. C. in a polar solvent such as DMF for 0.5 to 2 hours. The sulfide, thiol or thiouronium salt is then oxidatively chlorinated to the desired sulfonyl chloride VIII in the presence of water at -30.degree. to 0.degree. in an aliphatic carboxylic acid solvent such as propionic acid or a concentrated acid such as hydrochloric acid or an inert organic solvent such as dichloromethane for 1 to 24 hours. The preparation of pyridine sulfonyl chlorides, such as VIII, from mercaptans is similar to that taught by Y. Morisawa, et al., J. Med. Chem., 1980, 23, 1376-1380.

Many of the mercaptans of Formula IX in Equation 9 can be prepared from the pyridones of Formula XII as shown in Equation 13.

Equation 13 ##STR37## where G.sub.1 is --NH--CH.dbd.CH-- or --CH.dbd.CH--NH--; and

E is as previously defined.

The thiones of Formula XIII can be prepared from the corresponding pyridones XII using base-solubilized phosphorous pentasulfide in solvents such as acetonitrile, pyridine, or dichloromethane as taught by B. Dash, et al., Heterocycles, 19, 2093 (1982) and F. Eloy and A. Deryckere, Bull. Soc. Chim. Belges, 79, 407 (1970).

Many other mercaptans can be prepared via the Newman-Karnes rearrangement of O-aryl thiocarbamates and hydrolysis of the resulting S-aryl thiocarbamates, such as XV, a representative example of which is shown in Equation 14.

The S-aryl thiocarbamates, such as XV, can also be converted directly to sulfonyl chlorides VIII via oxidative chlorination as described in Equation 12b.

Equation 14 ##STR38##

The synthesis of lactone XIV is described by W. Korytnyk and H. Ahrens, J. Med. Chem., 1971, 14, 947-952. The preparation of O-aryl thiocarbamates, their thermal rearrangement and hydrolysis is taught by M. S. Newman and H. A. Karnes, J. Org. Chem., 31, 3980 (1966), references cited therein and B. Blank, et al., J. Med. Chem., 17, 1065 (1974). The preparation of sulfonyl chlorides via the oxidative chlorination of S-aryl thiocarbamates is described by A. Wagenaar and T. Engberts, Recl. Trav. Chim. 101, 91 (1982).

Chlorides of Formula XI in Equation 12 can be obtained from pyridones XII as shown below.

Equation 15 ##STR39##

The pyridones XII can be converted to chlorides XI in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride and phosphorous pentachloride. This procedure has been used to prepare 4-chloro-1,3-dihydro-6-methyl-3-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine; see: W. F. Bruce and H. W. Coover, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 66, 2092 (1944). For additional examples, see: Rivalle, et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem., 13, 89-92 (1976); Bisagni, et al., ibid., 12, 461-465 (1975); Eloy and Deryckere, Bull. Soc. Chim. Belges, 79, 407-414 (1970) and Bisagni, Tetrahedron, 26, 2087 (1970).

Many other chlorides XIa can be prepared by direct chlorination of the corresponding pyridines XVI as shown in Equation 16.

Equation 16 ##STR40## where R.sub.1, R.sub.3 and E are as previously defined; and

E is not readily chlorinated.

The pyridines of Formula XVI are chlorinated with an appropriate chlorine source, such as sulfuryl chloride or chlorine in an aliphatic carboxylic acid solvent such as acetic acid or in an inert organic solvent such as dichloromethane for 1 to 24 hours to provide chlorides such as XIa.

The preparation of annelated pyridines such as XI, IX and X can also be carried out by any of several methods described in Pyridine and its Derivatives, G. Newkome, ed., Wiley and Sons, New York, 1984, pp. 253-445, or modifications thereof.

Many pyridones of Formula XIIb can be prepared by the condensation of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound such as XVII and 2-cyanoacetamide as shown in Equation 17.

Equation 17 ##STR41##

The substituted 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, prepared by methods known to one skilled in the art, are combined with 2-cyanoacetamide in a solvent such as ethanol with an appropriate base catalyst to produce pyridones such as XIIa. Acid hydrolysis and cyclization gives the desired lactone pyridone XIIb. This method is taught by S. A. Harris, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 61, 1242 (1939).

Several pyridones of Formula XIIc or chlorides of Formula XIb can be obtained from pyridines such as XVIII as shown in Equation 18.

Equation 18 ##STR42## where T.sub.3 -T.sub.4 is N--CH or CH--N; ##STR43## where T.sub.3 -T.sub.4 is CH--N; ##STR44## where T.sub.3 -T.sub.4 is N--CH; R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and q are as previously defined.

An appropriately substituted diisopropylamide XVIII is combined with two equivalents of lithium diisopropylamide to give an anion according to the teachings of J. Epsztajn, Tet. Lett., 24, 4735-4738 (1983). The anion can then be trapped with a ketone, ester or epoxide at -78.degree. to 25.degree. C. to produce, upon workup, the alcohol XIX. The anion can also be trapped with N,N-dimethylformamide to give aldehyde XX, which on reduction also provides alcohol XIX (q=O, R.sub.4 =R.sub.5 =H).

Acid hydrolysis of the 2-chloro isomer XIXa provides pyridones such as XIIc. Acid hydrolysis of the 3-chloropyridines XIXb provides chlorides such as XIb.

Several other pyridones such as XIId and XIIe are more easily prepared by forming the pyridone on an existing heterocycle, examples of which are shown in Equations 19a and 19b.

Equation 19a ##STR45## where R.sub.28 =H

R.sub.29 = ##STR46##

Isocyanates such as XXIIa are formed in situ and cyclized to pyridones XIId as taught by F. Eloy and A. Deryckere, Bull. Soc., Chim. Belges, 79 (1970) 301-312. This method has also been used to prepare the thieno[3,2-c]pyridone isomer starting from XXIa (R.sub.28 =CH.dbd.CHC(.dbd.O)N.sub.3, R.sub.29 =H).

Equation 19b ##STR47## where R.sub.7 is as previously defined; and

R.sub.30 is t-butyl.

Metallation of amides XXIIb, prepared from the corresponding acid XXIb by methods known to one skilled in the art, with 2.0 equivalents of n-butyllithium followed by quenching with N,N-dimethylformamide and para-toluenesulfonic acid afforded pyridones XIIe which may also be converted to chlorides of Formula XI by the methods described in Equation 15.

Equation 19c ##STR48##

Pyridones of Formula XIIf can be prepared following the procedures of E. Bisagni, et al., J. Heterocycl. Chem., 12, 461 (1975) as shown in Equation 19c. Treatment of pyrone XXIc with ammonium hydroxide provided the corresponding pyrone XXIIc which was alkylated with chloroacetaldehyde followed by acid work-up to afford pyridones XIIf.

The amines of Formula X, in Equation 11, can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds of Formula XXIII, as shown in Equation 20.

Equation 20 ##STR49##

The reduction of nitro compounds, prepared by methods known to one skilled in the art, to amines can be carried out by any of several methods as described in Preparative Organic Chemistry, 4th Ed., pp. 557-563, John Wiley and Sons, New York and London, G. Hilgetag and A. Martine, ed.; and S. A. Harris, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 61, 1242 (1939).

Nitro compounds of Formula XXIIIa can be prepared by nitration of the corresponding pyridones XXIV as shown below.

Equation 21 ##STR50## where E and R.sub.3 are as previously defined.

The nitration is carried out in strong acid, such as acetic acid, according to the method taught by Eloy and Deryckere, Bull. Soc. Chim. Belges, 79 (1970) 407-414. Pyridones XXIIIa can be converted to the corresponding pyridine chlorides as described in Equation 15.

Additional methods to prepare heterocyclic nitro compounds similar to XXIII are described in European Publication No. 107,979.

The synthesis of heterocyclic amines such as those represented by Formula III has been reviewed in "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds," a series published by Interscience Publ., New York and London. Aminopyrimidines are described by D. J. Brown in "The Pyrimidines," Vol. XVI of the series mentioned above, which is herein incorporated by reference. The 2-amino-1,3,5-triazines of Formula III, where A is A-1 and Z is N, can be prepared according to methods described by E. M. Smolin and L. Rapaport in "s-Triazines and Derivatives," Vol. XIII.

Pyrimidines of Formula III, where A is A-1 and Y is an acetal or thioacetal substituent, can be prepared by methods taught in European Publication No. 84,244 (published July 27, 1983).

Pyrimidines of Formula III, where A is A-1 and Y is cyclopropyl or OCF.sub.2 H, can be synthesized according to the methods taught in South African Patent Application No. 83/7434 and South African Publication No. 82/5045, respectively.

Compounds of Formula III, where A is A-2 or A-3, can be prepared by procedures disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,339,267.

Compounds of Formula III, where A is A-5, can be prepared by methods taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,421,550.

Compounds of Formula III, where A is A-6, can be prepared by methods taught in European Publication No. 94,260 (published Nov. 16, 1983).

The preparation of the compounds of this invention is further illustrated by the following examples.

EXAMPLE 1

1,3-Dihydro-6-methyl-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-4-thiouronium salt

A solution of 6.0 g of 4-chloro-1,3-dihydro-6-methyl-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine [prepared using the procedure of W. F. Bruce and H. W. Coover, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 66, 2092 (1944)] and 2.5 g of thiourea in 25 mL DMF was heated at 50.degree. to 60.degree. C. for 3 hours. After cooling, the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with ether to provide 6.74 g of the title compound as a yellow solid, m.p. 205.degree.-208.degree. C.(d).

EXAMPLE 2

4-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-mercapto-6-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid

A solution of 6 g of the above thiouronium salt was dissolved in 10% sodium hydroxide. After 15 minutes the solution was acidified with 10% HCl. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water to provide the title compound as a yellow solid, m.p. >270.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 3

1,3-Dihydro-6-methyl-3-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-4-sulfonamide

A mixture of 2.0 g of the compound from Example 2, 17 mL of water, 33 mL of methylene chloride and 2.1 mL of concentrated HCl was cooled to -5.degree. C. Keeping the temperature between 5.degree. and 10.degree. C., 35 mL of a 6% sodium hypochlorite solution was added over 15 minutes. After an additional 20 minutes at 0.degree. C., the mixture was poured into water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase was washed with sodium bisulfite and dried over sodium sulfate.

The solution of the sulfonyl chloride was cooled to -78.degree. C. and 5 mL of dry ammonia added dropwise. After slowly warming to room temperature, the mixture was acidified with 10% HCl to pH 2 and sodium chloride added to give a saturated solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate to obtain 0.25 g of the title compound as a solid, m.p. 211.degree.-213.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 4

N-[(4,6-Dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-1,3-dihydro-6-methyl-3-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-4-sulfonamide

To a suspension of 0.21 g of the compound from Example 3 and 0.25 g of N-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)phenyl carbamate in 2 mL acetonitrile is added 0.14 mL 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. After 15 minutes, 6 mL water is added, followed by dropwise addition of 10% HCl. The resulting precipitate is collected by filtration and washed with water to provide 0.09 g of the title compound, m.p. 149.degree.-153.degree. C.

Using the procedures of Equations 1-21 and Examples 1-4, the following compounds of Tables 1-13 can be made by one skilled in the art. Where relevant, n=0 unless otherwise noted.

Formulations

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional 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 inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

TABLE 14______________________________________ 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, coarsely hammer-milled and then air-milled to produce particles essentially all below 10 microns in diameter. The product is reblended before packaging.

EXAMPLE 7

Granule

______________________________________Wettable Powder of Example 6 5%attapulgite granules 95%______________________________________

(U.S.S. 20-40 mesh; 0.84-0.42 mm)

A slurry of wettable powder containing 25% solids is sprayed on the surface of attapulgite granules in a double-cone blender. The granules are dried and packaged.

EXAMPLE 8

Extruded Pellet

______________________________________N--[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-1,3- 25%dihydro-6-methyl-3-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-4-sulfonamideanhydrous sodium sulfate 10%crude calcium ligninsulfonate 5%sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate 1%calcium/magnesium bentonite 59%______________________________________

The ingredients are blended, hammer-milled and then moistened with about 12% water. The mixture is extruded as cylinders about 3 mm diameter which are cut to produce pellets about 3 mm long. These may be used directly after drying, or the dried pellets may be crushed to pass a U.S.S. No. 20 sieve (0.84 mm openings). The granules held on a U.S.S. No. 40 sieve (0.42 mm openings) may be packaged for use and the fines recycled.

EXAMPLE 9

Low Strength Granule

______________________________________N--[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-1,3- 0.1%dihydro-6-methyl-3-oxofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-4-sulfonamideattapulgite granules 99.9%______________________________________

(U.S.S. 20-40 mesh)

The active ingredient is dissolved in a solvent and the solution is sprayed upon dedusted granules in a double-cone blender. After spraying of the solution has been completed, the material is warmed to evaporate the solvent. The material is allowed to cool and then packaged.

EXAMPLE 10

Granule

______________________________________1,3-Dihydro-N--[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)- 80%aminocarbonyl]-6-methyl-3-oxofuro 3,4-c]pyridine-4-sulfonamidewetting agent 1%crude ligninsulfonate salt (containing 10%5-20% of the natural sugars)attapulgite clay 9%______________________________________

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.

EXAMPLE 11

Utility

The compounds of the present invention are expected to be active herbicides. They should 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 fuel storage tanks, ammunition depots, industrial storage areas, oil-well sites, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. By properly selecting rate, time and method of application, one may use the compounds of this invention to modify plant growth beneficially, or to selectively control weeds in crops such as wheat and barley.

The rates of application for the compounds of the invention will be determined by a number of factors, including their use as plant growth modifiers or as 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 0.01 to 10 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.

The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide examples of which are those of the triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenylether, carbamate and bipyridylium types.

Test A

Seeds of crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), morningglory (Ipomoea sp.), 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 6Y=abscised buds or flowers.
