Abstract
Compounds of Formula I having herbicidal utility are disclosed ##STR1## wherein the left-hand ring contains only single bonds or one bond in the ring is a double bond, and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Q and n are defined in the text, including compositions containing such compounds and a method for controlling weeds employing such compounds.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
New compounds effective for controlling the growth of undesired vegetation are in constant demand. In the most common situation, such compounds are sought to selectively control the growth of weeds in useful crops such as cotton, rice, corn, wheat and soybeans, to name a few. Unchecked weed growth in such crops can cause significant losses, reducing profit to the farmer and increasing costs to the consumer. In other situations, herbicides are desired which will control all plant growth. Examples of areas in which complete control of all vegetation is desired are areas around railroad tracks, storage tanks and industrial storage areas. There are many products commercially available for these purposes, but the search continues for products which are more effective, less costly and environmentally safe.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,213,773 discloses herbicidal triazolinones which differ from the compounds of the present invention in that they lack a substituent on the left-hand ring.

Compounds of General Formula I can be readily prepared by one skilled in the art by using the reactions and techniques described in Schemes 1 to 11 below. The substituents R.sup.1 -R.sup.16, n, m, and Q for the compounds illustrated are as defined as for compounds of Formula I. Compounds prepared by Schemes 1 to 11 that include compounds numbered II to XVI are intermediates or reagents for the ultimate preparation of compounds of Formula I. Compounds of Formulae Ia-It are subsets of compounds of Formula I. In cases where the substituent of a starting material is not compatible with the reaction conditions described for any of the reaction schemes, it can be assumed that the substituent is convened to a protected form prior to the described reaction scheme and then deprotected after the reaction using commonly accepted protecting/deprotecting techniques (as an example, see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", 2nd Edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1991). Otherwise alternative approaches known to one skilled in the art are available.
One skilled in the art will recognize that compounds of Formula I may exist as multiple stereoisomers. This invention therefore, comprises racemic mixtures, enriched mixtures, and pure enantiomers of compounds of Formula I.
The compounds of this invention are made by the following processes.
A retrosynthetic analysis of compounds of Formula Ib (compounds of Formula I wherein n is 2) is shown below (Scheme 1). The formation of ring A can be accomplished by an intramolecular cyclization between the nitrogen in ring B and the terminal double bond of triazolinone of Formula II. ##STR9##
The synthesis of the triazolinone ring B in compounds of Formula II is known in the art and can be prepared by methods such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,818,275 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,818,276. Acidic condensation of .alpha.-ketoacids of Formula III and phenyl hydrazine derivatives of Formula IV gives hydrazones of Formula V. Schmidt rearrangement of the acid of Formula V with diphenylphosphoryl azide followed by a ring cyclization gives triazolinones of Formula II as shown below (Scheme 2). ##STR10##
For the synthesis of the triazolinones of Formula IIa (compounds of Formula II wherein R.sup.2 is H), 2-oxo-5-hexanoic acid IIIa (compound of Formula III wherein R.sup.2 is H) can be used as the starting material (Scheme 3). 2-Oxo-5-hexanoic acid can be made by hydrolysis of the methyl ester of Formula VI with base, preferably one equivalent of potassium hydroxide in an aqueous alcohol solvent. The ester of Formula VI is made from methyl pyruvate as described in J. Org. Chem., (1983), 48, 158 (scheme 3) ##STR11##
The triazolinone of Formula IIa can be made by the method described in Scheme 2. The hydrazone of Formula Va (compound of Formula V wherein R.sup.2 is H) is made by treating 2-oxo-5-hexanoic acid IIIa with a phenyl hydrazine of Formula IV under acidic conditions using hydrochloric acid in an organic solvent such as ethyl or methyl alcohol at a temperature between room temperature and about 100.degree. C. Schmidt rearrangement of hydrazone of Formula Va using an azide such as diphenylphosphoryl azide followed by intramolecular cyclization at a temperature between about 0.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C. affords the intermediate of Formula IIa.
Treatment of the olefin of Formula II with MCPBA (m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at a temperature between about 0.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C., preferably at room temperature, gives an epoxide of Formula VII (Scheme 4). Intramolecular cyclization of the epoxide using a base such as potassium carbonate in an inert solvent such as acetonitrile or acetone gives the 6-membered ring product of Formula Ic (compound of Formula I wherein R.sup.1 is 6-OH). Fluorination of the alcohol of Formula Ic with DAST (diethylaminosulfur trifluoride) at a temperature between about -78.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C. in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane gives the fluorinated product of Formula Id. ##STR12##
The alcohol of Formula Ic can also be prepared by hydroxybromination of the olefin of Formula II using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and water or N-bromoacetamide and water followed by cyclization of the resulting bromohydrin of Formula VIII using potassium carbonate in an inert solvent such as acetonitrile or acetone (Scheme 5). ##STR13##
Compounds of Formula Ic can also be convened to the chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-R.sup.1 substituted bicyclic triazolinones of Formula I using methods known to those skilled in the art. The hydroxy group in compounds of Formula Ic can be acylated by known methods to prepare the alkylcarbonyloxy and haloalkylcarbonyloxy derivatives. In addition, the hydroxy or halo group can be convened by known methods to afford the R.sup.1 .dbd.alkoxy and haloalkoxy derivatives (March, J., Advanced Organic Chemistry, (1992), 4th Ed., John Wiley and Sons, Inc., pp 386-389). In fact all the R.sup.1 .dbd.OH or halogen compounds in the following Schemes can be functionalized as is known in the art to prepare the other R.sup.1 substituted compounds. Compounds wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are taken together along with the carbon atom to which they are attached to form C.dbd.O can be prepared from the corresponding R.sup.1 .dbd.OH and R.sup.2 .dbd.H compounds by well-known methods for oxidizing secondary alcohols to ketones.
Compounds of Formulae Ie and If (compounds of Formula I wherein n is 1) can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 6. Oxidative cleavage of the olefin of Formula II using sodium periodate and a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide in an inert solvent mixture such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water, or using ozone in dichloromethane followed by reductive workup using dimethyl sulfide (DMS), affords the aldehyde of Formula IX. Intramolecular cyclization of the aldehyde under basic conditions using potassium carbonate or sodium hydride gives the 5-membered ring alcohol of Formula Ie. Treatment of the alcohol of Formula Ie with DAST in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane at a temperature between about -80.degree. C. and about 60.degree. C. produces the fluoride of Formula If. The fluoride If can also be made by direct cyclization and fluorination using DAST at a temperature range between about -100.degree. C. and about 60.degree. C. ##STR14##
Hydroboration of the olefin of Formula II with 9-borabicyclo�3.3.1!nonane (9-BBN) gives the alcohol of Formula X after oxidative workup (Scheme 7). Oxidation of alcohol X with oxidizing agents such as PDC (pyridinium dichlorochromate) produces the hemiaminal of Formula Ig presumably via the aldehyde intermediate of Formula XI. The fluoro compound of Formula Ih can be made by the treatment of the hemiaminal with DAST. ##STR15##
Triazolinones of Formula XII can be made from 2-oxo4-pentenoic acids and sustituted phenyl hydrazines of Formula IV by methods known to those skilled in the art and the methods taught herein (Scheme 8). The epoxide of Formula XIII can be prepared from the olefin of Formula XII using an oxidant such as MCPBA. Intramolecular cyclization of the epoxide with a base such as potassium carbonate affords the alcohol of Formula Ii. The fluoro compound of Formula Ij can be made from the alcohol using DAST at a temperature between about -70.degree. C. and about room temperature in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane. ##STR16##
Compounds of Formula Iq can be prepared from the unsubstituted compounds of Formula XIV as illustrated in Scheme 9. Treatment of the bicyclic triazolinone of Formula XIV with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under allylic bromination conditions affords the mono-bromo derivative of Formula Io. One skilled in the art will recognize that bromination may also occur on Q if an electron-rich phenyl ring is present. When Q is Q-1, we have found that bromination does not occur on the phenyl ring when R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 are Cl and R.sup.4 is acetyloxy. The acetyl group can be removed by known methods, and the liberated phenolic hydroxyl group can be functionalized by known methods to prepare the desired OR.sup.9 group.
Hydrolysis of the bromide in hot aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) affords the alcohol of Formula Ip. The fluoro compound of Formula Iq can be prepared by treatment of the alcohol with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) as described above. ##STR17##
Compounds of Formula I wherein the left-hand ring is unsaturated can be prepared by treating the hydroxy-, bromo, or chloro-substituted compound of Formula Ir with a base such as 1,8-diazabicyclo�5.4.0!undec-7-ene (DBU) as illustrated in Scheme 10. The unsaturated compound is represented by Formula Is wherein the left-hand ring contains one double bond. The hydroxy, bromo and chloro compounds of Formula Ir can be prepared by the methods described in the Schemes above. In some cases, the elimination results in a mixture of double bond isomers which can be separated by chromatography. ##STR18##
Compounds of Formula I wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are taken together along with the carbon atoms to which they are attached to form an epoxide can be prepared from the corresponding unsaturated ring compound of Formula Is by well known methods for epoxidizing double bonds, for example using MCPBA in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2.
Compounds of Formula It can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 11. Allylic oxidation of the terminal alkene of Formula II with t-butyl hydroperoxide and catalytic selenium (IV) oxide in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane produces the allylic alcohol of Formula XV. Protection of the secondary alcohol as the t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) ether is accomplished using t-butylchlorodimethylsilane and a base, preferably triethylamine and catalytic 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine. The terminal olefin is converted to the primary alcohol to afford compounds of Formula XVI using 9-BBN followed by treatment with sodium perborate. Ring cyclization is accomplished using the Martin sulfurane dehydrating agent �C.sub.6 H.sub.5 (CF.sub.3).sub.2 O!.sub.2 S(C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.2. Removal of the TBS group and liberation of the alcohol can be accomplished using tetrabutylammonium fluoride. The alcohol can be converted to the corresponding fluoro compound using DAST, or to other R.sup.1 substituted compounds as described above. ##STR19##
For some compounds of Formula I wherein R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen, the R.sup.2 substituent is more conveniently introduced after cyclization to form the bicyclic triazolinone. This is especially the case when R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are attached to the same carbon atom.

Formulation/Utility
The compounds of this invention are useful as herbicides in agriculture. Typically, such compound(s) can be formulated in an effective amount with conventional additives including a carrier therefor (comprising a surfactant and/or a solid or liquid diluent) and applied by known methods to the locus to be protected.
Compounds of this invention will generally be used in formulation with an agriculturally suitable carrier comprising a liquid or solid diluent or an organic solvent. Useful formulations include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dry flowables and the like, consistent with the physical properties of the active ingredient, mode of application and environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up 100 weight percent.
______________________________________ Weight Percent Active Ingredient Diluent Surfactant______________________________________Wettable Powders 25-90 0-74 1-10Oil Suspensions, Emulsions, 5-50 40-95 0-15Solutions, (including EmulsifiableConcentrates)Dusts 1-25 70-99 0-5Granules and Pellets 0.01-99 5-99.99 0-15High Strength Compositrons 90-99 0-10 0-2______________________________________
Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., Handbook of insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers, 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, Solvents Guide, 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, (1950). McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, Allured Publ. Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents, Chemical Publ. Co., Inc., New York, (1964), list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foam, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.
Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer mill or fluid energy mill. Water-dispersible granules can be produced by agglomerating a free powder composition; see for example, Cross et al., Pesticide Formulations, Washington, D.C., (1988), pp 251-259. Suspensions are prepared by wet-milling; see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084. Granules and pellets can be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp 147-48, Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, 4th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, (1963), pp 8-57 and following, and WO 91/13546. Pellets can be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,172,714. Water-dispersible and water-soluble granules can also be prepared as taught in DE 3,246,493.

The compounds of the present invention are highly active preemergent and/or postemergent herbicides and/or plant growth regulants. Many of them have utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or postemergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired such as around fuel storage tanks, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards and highway and railroad structures. Some of the compounds are useful for the control of selected grass and broadleaf weeds with tolerance to important agronomic crops which include but are not limited to barley, cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, citrus, peanut, and plantation crops such as sugarcane, coffee, banana, oil palm, rubber, grapes, fruit trees, nut trees, turf, pineapple and loblolly pine. The compounds of the instant invention are particularly useful on plantation crops such as sugarcane, coffee, banana, oil palm, rubber, grapes, fruit trees, nut trees, turf, pineapple and loblolly pine.

In certain instances, combinations with other herbicides having a similar spectrum of control but a different mode of action will be particularly advantageous for resistance management.
A herbicidally effective amount of the compounds of this invention is determined by a number of factors. These factors include: formulation selected, method of application, amount and type of vegetation present, growing conditions, etc. In general, a herbicidally effective amount of a compound(s) of this invention is applied at rates from about 0.005 to 5.0 kg/ha with a preferred rate range of 0.010 to 2.0 kg/ha. One skilled in the art can easily determine application rates necessary for the desired level of weed control.
The following Tests demonstrate the control efficacy of the compounds of this invention against specific weeds. The weed control afforded by the compounds is not limited, however, to these species. See Index Tables A and B for compound descriptions.

TEST A
Seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), bedstraw (Gatlum aparine), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), chickweed (Stellaria media), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), corn (Zea mays), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), downy brome (Bromus rectorurn), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), rape (Brassica napus), rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), soybean (Glycine max), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), wheat (Triticum aestivum), wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus), wild oat (Avena fatua) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were also treated with postemergence applications of test chemicals. Plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm (one to four leaf stage) for postemergence treatments. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for twelve to sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

TEST B
Seeds of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), and wild oat (Avenafatua) were planted into a sandy loam soil and treated preemergence, or with a soil drench(PDRN), with test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were also treated postemergence, or sprayed to runoff(STRO), with test chemicals. Plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm and were in the two to three leaf stage for the postemergence treatment. Treated plants and untreated controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately eleven days, after which all treated plants were compared to untreated controls and visually evaluated for injury. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table B, are based on a 0 to 10 scale where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test results.

TEST C
The compounds evaluated in this test were formulated in a non- phytoxic solvent and applied to the soil surface before plant seedlings emerged (preemergence application), to water that covered the soil surface (flood application), and to plants that were in the one-to-four leaf stage (postemergence application). A sandy loam soil was used for the preemergence and postemergence tests, while a silt loam soil was used in the flood test. Water depth was approximately 2.5 cm for the flood test and was maintained at this level for the duration of the test.
Plant species in the preemergence and postemergence tests consisted of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), barley (Hordeum vulgare), bedstraw (Galium aparine), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), chickweed (Stellaria media), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), corn (Zea mays), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), downy brome (Bromus tectorum), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), johnsongrass (Sorghum halpense), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), rape (Brassica napus), ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), soybean (Glycine max), speedwell (Veronica persica), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), wheat (Triticum aestivum), wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus), and wild oat (Avena fatua). All plant species were planted one day before application of the compound for the preemergence portion of this test. Plantings of these species were adjusted to produce plants of appropriate size for the postemergence portion of the test. Plant species in the flood test consisted of rice (Oryza sativa), umbrella sedge (Cyperus difformis), duck salad (Heteranthera limosa), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and Late watergrass (Echinocloa oryzicola) grown to the 1 and 2 leaf stage for testing.
All plant species were grown using normal greenhouse practices. Visual evaluations of injury expressed on treated plants, when compared to untreated controls, were recorded approximately fourteen to twenty one days after application of the test compound. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table C, were recorded on a 0 to 100 scale where 0 is no effect and 100 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

Seeds of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), bindweed (Convolvolus erubescens), black nightshade (Solanum ptycanthum dunal), cassia (Cassia unifloria), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), corn (Zea mays), cotton (Gossypium hirsutam), crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), fall panicum (Panicum dichotomifiorum), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), green foxtail (Setaria viridis), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), lambsquarter (Chenpopdium album), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), prickly sida (Sida spinosa), shattercane (Sorghum vulgare), signalgrass (Brachiaria platyphylla), smartweed (Polygonum persicaria), soybean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), wild proso (Pancium miliaceum), wooly cup grass (Eriochloa villosa), yellow foxtail (Setaria lutescens) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted into a matapeake sandy loam soil. These crops and weeds were grown in the greenhouse until the plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm (one to four leaf stage), then treated postemergence with the test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. Pots receiving these postemergence treatments were placed in the greenhouse and maintained according to routine greenhouse procedures. Treated plants and untreated controls were maintained in the greenhouse approximately 14-21 days after application of the test compound. Visual evaluations of plant injury responses were then recorded. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table D, are reported on a 0 to 100 scale where 0 is no effect and 100 is complete control.

TEST E
Seeds, rhizomes, or plant parts of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), annual bluegrass (Poa annua), bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), broadleaf signalgrass (Brachiaria platyphylia), common purslane (Portulaca oleracea), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum), goosegrass (Eleusine indica), guineagrass (Panicum maximum), itchgrass (Rottboellia cochinchinensis), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), peanut (Arachis hypoagaea), pitted momingglory (Ipomoea lacunosa), purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), sandbur (Southern sandbur), smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum) were planted into greenhouse pots containing greenhouse planting medium. Each pot contained only one plant species.
The test compound was dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent and applied preemergence and/or postemergence to the plants. Preemergence applications were made within one day of planting the seeds or plant parts. Postemergence applications were applied when the plants were in the two to four leaf stage (three to twenty cm). Untreated control plants and treated plants were placed in the greenhouse and visually evaluated for injury at 14 to 28 days after herbicide application. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table E, are based on a 0 to 100 scale where 0 is no injury and 100 is complete control. A dash (-) response indicates no test result.
