Herbicidal sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones having substituents which are bonded via sulphur

The invention relates to new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones having substituents which are bonded via sulphur, to a variety of processes for their preparation, and to their use as herbicides.
It is known that certain substituted aminocarbonylimidazolinones, such as, for example, 1-isobutylaminocarbonyl-2-imidazolidinone (isocarbamid), have herbicidal properties (cf. R. Wegler, Chemie der Pflanzenschutz-und und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel [Chemistry of Plant Protection Agents and Pesticides], Volume 5, p. 219, Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg-New York, 1977). However, the action of this compound is not satisfactory in all respects.
The new sulphonylaminocarbonyl-triazolinones having substituents which are bonded via sulphur, of the formula (I) ##STR3## in which n represents the numbers 0, 1 or 2,
R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, hydroxyl or amino, or represents an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkylamino, cycloalkylamino and dialkylamino,
R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aralkyl and aryl, and
R.sup.3 represents an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl,
as well as salts of compounds of the formula (I), have now been found.
The new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones having substituents which are bonded via sulphur, of the general formula (I), are obtained when
a) triazolinones of the general formula (II) ##STR4## in which n, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the abovementioned meanings,
are reacted with sulphonyl isocyanates of the general formula (III)
R.sup.3 --SO.sub.2 --N.dbd.C.dbd.O (III)
in which
R.sup.3 has the abovementioned meaning,
if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or when
b) triazolinone derivatives of the general formula (IV) ##STR5## in which n, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the abovementioned meanings and
Z represents halogen, alkoxy, aralkoxy or aryloxy,
are reacted with sulphonamides of the general formula (V)
R.sup.3 --SO.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 (V)
in which
R.sup.3 has the abovementioned meaning,
if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or when
c) triazolinones of the general formula (II) ##STR6## in which n, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the abovementioned meanings,
are reacted with sulphonamide derivatives of the general formula (VI)
R.sup.3 --SO.sub.2 --NH--CO--Z (VI)
in which
R.sup.3 has the abovementioned meaning and
Z represents halogen, alkoxy, aralkoxy or aryloxy,
if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, and, if desired, salts are formed by customary methods from the compounds of the formula (I) prepared by process (a), (b) or (c).
The new sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones having substituents which are bonded via sulphur, of the general formula (I), and their salts are distinguished by a powerful herbicidal activity.
Surprisingly, the new compounds of the formula (I) have a considerably better herbicidal action than the herbicide 1-isobutylaminocarbonyl-2-imidazolidinone (isocarbamid), which is known and has a similar structure.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hop-fields, on lawn, turf and pasture-land, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.
In particular, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are suitable for selectively combating monocotyledon and dicotyledon weeds in monocotyledon crops, either using the pre-emergence or the post-emergence method. They are markedly more effective than, for example, isocarbamid.

PREPARATION EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1 ##STR105##
Process (a)
3.0 g (20.7 mmol) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are dissolved in 60 ml of acetonitrile, and 7.0 g (29 mmol) of 2-methoxycarbonylphenylsulphonyl-isocyanate, dissolved in 20 ml of acetonitrile, are added to this solution with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at 20.degree. C. for 6 hours. The product which is obtained in crystalline form is then isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 6.0 g (75 % of theory) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2-(2-methoxycarbonyl-phenylsulphonyl-aminocarbonyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 184.degree. C.
EXAMPLE 2 ##STR106##
Process (b)
1.7 g (11.2 mmol) of 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and 2.7 g (11.2 mmol) of 2-trifluoromethoxybenzenesulphonamide are added to a solution of 3.0 g (11.3 mmol) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2-phenoxycarbonyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one in 60 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 hours at 20.degree. C., then washed twice with 1 % strength hydrochloric acid and three times with water, dried with sodium sulphate, and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue is stirred with diethyl ether, and the product which is obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtration with suction.

STARTING SUBSTANCES OF THE FORMULA (II)
Example (II-1) ##STR226##
Step 1 ##STR227##
A solution of 175 g (2.4 mol) of methyl isothiocyanate in 300 ml of diethyl ether is added to a solution of 250 g (2.4 mol) of ethyl hydrazinoformate, with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 12 hours at 20.degree. C. and then cooled to about 10.degree. C., and the product which is obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtration with suction. This gives 404 g (95% of theory) of 4-methyl-1-ethoxycarbonylthiosemicarbazide of melting point 130.degree. C.
The following are obtained analogously:
4-ethyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 142.degree. C.);
4-propyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 117.degree. C.
4-cyclopropyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 148.degree. C.);
4-allyl-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 151.degree. C.);
4-dimethylamino-1-methoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (melting point: 144.degree. C.).
Step 2 ##STR228##
A mixture of 10.0g (56.5 mmol) of 4-methyl-1-ethoxycarbonyl-thiosemicarbazide (cf. Step 1), 4.0 g (29 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 80 ml of ethanol is refluxed until the evolution of gas has ceased (about 3 hours). When the mixture is cold, it is concentrated, the residue is stirred with 50 ml of methylene chloride, and the product, which has remained undissolved, is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 9.2 g (96% of theory) of the potassium salt of 5-mercapto-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (melting point>230.degree. C.).
The potassium salts of 5-mercapto-4-ethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5-mercapto-4-propyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5-mercapto-4-cyclopropyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one,and5-mercapto-4-allyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, and 5-mercapto-4-dimethylamino-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, all of which melt above 230.degree. C., are obtained analogously.
Step 3 ##STR229##
A mixture of 4.0 g (23.7 mmol) of the potassium salt of 5-mercapto-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (cf. Step 2), 4.1 g (28.9 mmol) of methyl iodide and 80 ml of methanol is stirred for 12 hours at 20.degree. C. The mixture is then concentrated, the residue is stirred with methylene chloride, and the potassium iodide, which has remained undissolved, is separated off by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue is stirred with 500 ml of diethyl ether/petroleum ether (1:1 by vol.), and the product which has been obtained in crystalline from is isolated by filtration with suction.
This gives 3.4 g (99% of theory) of 4-methyl-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point 97.degree. C.

STARTING SUBSTANCES OF THE FORMULA (IV)
Example (IV-1) ##STR236##
22.1 g (0.141 mol) of phenyl chloroformate are added to a mixture of 20.0g (0.137 mol) of 4-amino-5-methylthio-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one, 5.6 g (0.141 mol) of sodium hydroxide, 0.2 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 200 ml of methylene chloride/water (1:1, by vol.), with vigorous stirring.
