Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application is a 371 of PCT/JP92/00808 filed Jun. 25, 1992.

The present invention relates to novel iminosulfonylurea derivatives, and herbicides containing them as active ingredients.

BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE

It is indispensable to use herbicides to protect important crop plants such as rice, wheat, corn, soybean, cotton and sugar beet from weeds and thereby to increase the harvest. Especially in recent years, a selective herbicide is desired which is capable of selectively killing weeds without showing any phytotoxicity against crop plants when applied to the foliages of crop plants and weeds simultaneously in a field where such useful crop plants and weeds are coexistent. Further, with a view to avoiding environmental pollution and reducing the costs for transportation and application, researches and developments have been conducted for many years for compounds having high herbicidal effects at low doses. Some of the compounds having such properties are presently used as selective herbicides. However, there still exists a need for better new compounds having such properties.

As the prior art showing a chemical structure similar to that of the compounds of the present invention, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 15962/1983, No. 103371/1983, No. 126859/1983, No. 48973/1985, No. 214785/1985, No. 134377/1986, No. 151577/1989, No. 45473/1990, No. 91060/1990, No. 7284/1991 and No. 68562/1991, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,559,081, 4,592,776, 4,602,939, 4,622,065, 4,666,508, 4,696,695 and 4,741,762, disclose compounds having sulfonylurea bonded to a nitrogen atom. However, compounds having sulfonylurea bonded to a nitrogen atom of an imino structure like the compounds of the present invention have not been known at all, and they are novel compounds.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors have conducted extensive researches over years to develop selective herbicides for important crop plants and have studied herbicidal properties of many compounds with an aim to find out compounds having higher herbicidal activities as well as selectivity.

The compound of the present invention can be used as a herbicide for upland fields by any treating method such as soil treatment, soil admixing treatment or foliage treatment.

The dose of the compound of the present invention varies depending upon the application site, the season for application, the manner of application, the type of weeds to be controlled, the type of crop plants, etc. However, the dose is usually within a range of from 0.0001 to 10 kg, preferably from 0.005 to 5 kg, per hectare (ha), as the amount of the active ingredient.

Further, the compound of the present invention may be combined with other herbicides, various insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulating agents, synergism agents and safeners at the time of the preparation of the formulations or at the time of the application, as the case requires.

Particularly, by the combined application with other herbicide, it can be expected to reduce the cost due to a decrease of the dose or to enlarge the herbicidal spectrum or obtain higher herbicidal effects due to a synergistic effect of the combined herbicides. In such a case, a plurality of known herbicides may be simultaneously combined. The herbicides of the type which can be used in combination with the compound of the present invention, may, for example, be compounds disclosed in Farm Chemicals Handbook (1990).

When the compound of the present invention is to be used as a herbicide, it is usually mixed with a suitable carrier, for instance, a solid carrier such as clay, talc, bentonite, diatomaceous earth or fine silica powder, or a liquid carrier such as water, an alcohol (such as isopropanol, butanol, benzyl alcohol or furfuryl alcohol), an aromatic hydrocarbon (such as toluene or xylene), an ether (such as anisole), a ketone (such as cyclohexanone or isophorone), an ester (such as butyl acetate), an acid amide (such as N-methylpyrrolidone), or a halogenated hydrocarbon (such as chlorobenzene). If desired, a surfactant, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, a penetrating agent, a spreader, a thickener, an antifreezing agent, a coagulation preventing agent or a stabilizer may be added to prepare an optional formulation such as a liquid formulation, an emulsifiable concentrate, a wettable powder, a dry flowable, a flowable, a dust or a granule.

Cropland weeds to be controlled by the compound of the present invention include, for example, Solanaceae weeds such as Solanum nigrum and Datura stramonium, Malvaceae weeds such as Abutilon theophrasti and Side spinosa, Convolvulaceae weeds such as Ipomoea spps. e.g. Ipomoea purpurea, and Calystegia spps., Amaranthaceae weeds such as Amaranthus lividus and Amaranthus viridis, Compositae weeds such as Xanthium strumarium, Ambrosia artemisiaefolia, Helianthus annuu, Galinsoga ciliat, Cirsium arvense, Senecio vulgaris and Erigeron annus, Cruciferae weeds such as Rorippa indica, Sinapis arvensis and Capsella Bursapastris, Polygonaceae weeds such as Polygonum Blumei and Polygonum convolvulus, Portulacaceae weeds such as Portulaca oleracea, Chenopodiaceae weeds such as Chenopodium album, Chenopodium ficifolium and Kochia scoparis, Caryophyllaceae weeds such as Stellaria media, Scrophulariaceae weeds such as Veronica persica, Commelinaceae weeds such as Commelina communis, Labiatae weeds such as Lamium amplexicaule and Lamium purpureum, Euphorbiaceae weeds such as Euphorbia supina and Euphorbia maculata, Rubiaceae weeds such as Galium spurium, Galium aparine and Rubia akane, Violaceae weeds such as Viola arvensis, Leguminosae weeds such as Sesbania exaltata and Cassia obtusifolia, Graminaceous weeds such as Sorgham bicolor, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Sorghum halepense, Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria adscendens, Avena fatua, Eleusine indica, Setaria viridis and Alopecurus aegualis, and Cyperaceous weeds such as Cyperus rotundus and Cyperus esculentus.

Further, the compound of the present invention can be used as a paddy field herbicide by any treating method such as irrigated soil treatment or foliage treatment. Paddy weeds include, for example, Alismataceae weeds such as Alisma canaliculatum, Sagittaria trifolia and Sagittaria pygmaea, Cyperaceae weeds such as Cyperus difformis, Cyperus serotinus, Scirpus juncoides and Eleocharis kuroguwai, Scrothulariaceae weeds such as Lindemia pyxidaria, Potenderiaceae weeds such as Monochoria vaginalis, Potamogetonaceae weeds such as Potamogeton distinctus, Lythraceae weeds such as Rotala indica, and Gramineae weeds such as Echinochloa crus-galli.

The compound of the present invention can be applied to control various weeds not only in the agricultural and horticultural fields such as upland fields, paddy fields or orchards, but also in non-agricultural fields such as play grounds, non-used vacant fields or railway sides.

The compound of the present invention can easily be produced by selecting any one of the following reaction schemes 1 to 5.

Reaction Scheme 1 ##STR721## In the above formulas, Q, G and L are as defined above, and Z is a halogen atom.

Namely, the amine (2) is reacted with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, propionitrile, dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, benzene or toluene and then reacted with the imine (3) or (4) in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydride, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate, to obtain the compound of the present invention (1:X=O).

Reaction Scheme 2 ##STR722## In the above formulas, Q, G, L and Z are as defined above, and Y is a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or a phenyl group.

The above ingredients were homogeneously mixed and pulverized, and after an addition of a small amount of water, the mixture was stirred, mixed and granulated by an extrusion-type granulating machine, followed by drying to obtain a granule.

In use, the above wettable powder, emulsifiable concentrate, flowable or granular wettable powder is diluted with water from 50 to 1,000 times and applied so that the active ingredient will be from 0.0001 to 10 kg per hectare (ha).

Now, the herbicidal activities of the compounds of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following Test Examples.

TEST EXAMPLE 1: Test-1 on the herbicidal effects in soil treatment

A plastic box having a length of 15 cm, a width of 22 cm and a depth of 6 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvial soil, and seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria adscendens, Cyperus microiria, Solanum nigrum, Galinsoga ciliata, Rorippa indica, Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Glycine max and Gossypium spp. were sown, and the soil was covered thereon in a thickness of about 1.5 cm, and then a herbicide solution was applied onto the surface of the soil uniformly so that the active ingredient was distributed at a predetermined concentration. The herbicide solution was prepared by diluting a wettable powder prepared in accordance with the foregoing Formulation Examples with water and applied by a small spray onto the entire soil surface. Four weeks after the application of the herbicidal solution, the herbicidal effects against each weed and the phytotoxicities against each crop plant were determined on the basis of the following standard ratings. The results are shown in Table 15.

Standard ratings: 5: Growth control rate of more than 90% (almost completely withered) 4: Growth control rate of from 70 to 90% 3: Growth control rate of from 40 to 70% 2: Growth control rate of from 20 to 40% 1: Growth control rate of from 5 to 20% 0: Growth control rate of less than 5% (almost non-effective)

The above growth control rates were calculated by the following equation: ##EQU1## where T: Weight of the weed grown above the soil surface of the treated area

N: Weight of the weed grown above the soil surface of the non-treated area

TEST EXAMPLE 2: Test-1 on the herbicidal effects in foliage treatment

A plastic box having a length of 15 cm, a width of 22 cm and a depth of 6 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvial soil, and seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria adscendens, Avena fatua, Cyperus microiria, Solanum nigrum, Galinsoga ciliata, Rorippa indica, Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Glycine max, Gossypium spp. and Beta vulgaris were spot-wisely sown, and the soil was covered thereon in a thickness of about 1.5 cm. When the various weeds and crop plants grew to the 2 or 3 leaf stage, a herbicidal solution was uniformly sprayed on the foliages so that the active ingredient was applied in a predetermined concentration. The herbicidal solution was prepared by diluting a wettable powder prepared in accordance with the above Formulation Examples with water and applied onto the entire surface of the foliages of the weeds and the crop plants by a small spray. Four weeks after the application of the herbicide solution, the herbicidal effects against each weed and the phytotoxicities against each crop plant were determined on the basis of the standard ratings described in Test Example 1. The results are shown in Table 16.

TEST EXAMPLE 3: Test-1 on the herbicidal effects in irrigation treatment

Into a Wagner pot of 1/5000a, alluvial soil was put, and then water was introduced and mixed to form an irrigated state with a water depth of 4 cm. Seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Scirpus juncoides, Monochoria vaginalis and Rotala indica were sown in the above pot, and tubers of Sagittaria pygmaea and Cyperus serotinus were embedded. Then, rice seedlings of 2.5 leaf stage were transplanted. The pot was placed in a greenhouse at a temperature of from 25.degree. to 30.degree. C., and the plants were cultured. On the third day after the seeding and plantation, a diluted solution of the herbicide was dropwise applied to the water surface by a measuring pipette, so that the dose would be a predetermined level. Three weeks after the dropwise application of the herbicide, the herbicidal effects against various weeds and rice were determined on the basis of the standard ratings described in Test Example 1. The results are shown in Table 17.

In Tables 15, 16 and 17, Compound Nos. correspond to Compound Nos. in the Examples, and symbols have the following meanings.

TEST EXAMPLE 4: Test-2 on the herbicidal effects in soil treatment

A plastic box having a length of 21 cm, a width of 13 cm and a depth of 7 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvial soil, and seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Setaria viridis, Avena fatua, Alopecurus myosuroides, Abutilon theophrasti, Xanthium strumarium, Amaranthus viridis, Ipomoea spp., Veronica persica, Stellaria media, Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Oryza sativa, Glycine max, Gossypium spp., Triticum aestivum and Beta vulgaris were spot-wisely sown, and the soil was covered thereon in a thickness of about 1.5 cm, and then a herbicide solution was applied onto the surface of the soil uniformly so that the active ingredient was distributed at a predetermined concentration. The herbicide solution was prepared by diluting a wettable powder prepared in accordance with the foregoing Formulation Examples with water and applied onto the entire soil surface by a small spray. Three weeks after the application of the herbicidal solution, the herbicidal effects against each weed and the phytotoxicities against each crop plant were visually determined on the basis of the following standard ratings. The results are shown in Table 18.

Some of the compounds of the present invention show selectivity for certain crop plants.

Standard ratings: 5: Growth control rate of more than 90% (almost completely withered) 4: Growth control rate of from 70 to 90% 3: Growth control rate of from 40 to 70% 2: Growth control rate of from 20 to 40% 1: Growth control rate of from 5 to 20% 0: Growth control rate of less than 5% (almost non-effective)

TEST EXAMPLE 5: Test-2 on the herbicidal effects in foliage treatment

A plastic box having a length of 21 cm, a width of 13 cm and a depth of 7 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvial soil, and seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Setaria viridis, Avena fatua, Alopecurus myosuroides, Abutilon theophrasti, Xanthium strumarium, Amaranthus viridis, Ipomoea spp., Veronica persica, Stellaria media, Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Glycine max, Gossypium spp., Triticum aestivum and Beta vulgaris were spot-wisely sown and the soil was covered thereon in a thickness of about 1.5 cm. When the various weeds and crop plants grew to the 2 or 3 leaf stage, a herbicidal solution was uniformly sprayed on the foliages so that the active ingredient was applied in a predetermined concentration. The herbicidal solution was prepared by diluting a wettable powder prepared in accordance with the above Formulation Examples with water and applied onto the entire surface of the foliages of the weeds and the crop plants by a small spray. Three weeks after the application of the herbicide solution, the herbicidal effects against each weed and the phytotoxicities against each crop plant were visually determined on the basis of the standard ratings described in Test Example 4. The results are shown in Table 19.

TEST EXAMPLE 6: Test-2 on the herbicidal effects during the growing stage in irrigation treatment

Into a Wagner pot of 1/5000a, alluvial soil was put, and then water was introduced and mixed to form an irrigated state with a water depth of 4 cm. Seeds of Echinochloa crus-galli, Scirpus juncoides, Monochoria vaginalis and Rotala indica were sown in the above pot. The pot was placed in a greenhouse at a temperature of from 25.degree. to 30.degree. C., and the plants were cultured. When Echinochloa crus-galli, Scirpus juncoides, Monochoria vaginalis and Rotala indica reached 1 to 2 leaf stage, a diluted solution of the herbicide was dropwise applied to the water surface by a measuring pipette, so that the dose would be a predetermined level. Three weeks after the dropwise application of the herbicide, the herbicidal effects to various weeds were visually determined on the basis of the standard ratings described in Test Example 4. The results are shown in Table 20.
