The present invention provides isoxazolin-5-one derivatives and herbicides which contain the isoxazolin-5-one derivatives as active ingredients and which have a particularly excellent control effect on a harmful weed in an agricultural or horticultural field or in a non-crop land.
Use of herbicides is indispensable for protecting useful crops such as rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton plant and beets from weeds and for increasing the yield. Recently, a selective herbicide which does not damage crops but which can selectively kill weeds only is desired in cultivated land where both such a useful crop and weeds grow. Moreover, an agent which exhibits a high herbicidal effect with a possible low agent amount is required in view of the prevention of environmental pollution, a decrease in the economic costs in transport and spraying and the like.
Here, although isoxazolin-5-one derivatives exhibiting a similar herbicidal activity to that of the invention are reported in Patent Literatures 1 and 2 and Non Patent Literature 1, the compounds of the invention in which the 4-position of the isoxazolin-5-one ring is substituted with a 2-(haloalkylsulfonylamino)benzyl group are not reported at all. It is known that heterocyclic compounds having a haloalkylsulfonylamino group at the 2-position of a benzyl group have a herbicidal activity (Patent Literatures 3 to 12). However, there is no report showing that compounds in which the heterocyclic moiety is isoxazolin-5-one, as in the invention, exhibit a herbicidal activity.
A problem to be solved by the invention is to provide an herbicide having an excellent herbicidal activity and crop selectivity.
As a result of intensive studies to solve the problem, the present inventors have found that isoxazolin-5-one derivatives represented by the following formula (1) below exhibit an excellent herbicidal activity and thus have completed the invention.
Accordingly, the first invention of the present application relates to isoxazolin-5-one derivatives represented by the following formula (1) (sometimes referred to as “the compounds of the invention” in this description).
The second invention of the application relates to herbicides characterized by containing an isoxazolin-5-one derivative represented by the following formula (1) as an active ingredient.
That is, the inventors have found that the following aspects can solve the problem.

Herbicidal Effect Test by Treatment of Rice Paddy Soil
Wagner pots with an area of 1/10000 ares were filled with a paddy soil, and after adding water, a compound fertilizer (N:P:K=17:17:17) was added, followed by soil puddling. Then, Echinochloa crus-galli, broad leaf weeds (Lindernia pyxidaria and Monochoria vaginalis) and Scirpus juncoides, 30 seeds each, were sown in a depth of 0 to 1 cm. Water was poured immediately after seeding, and the water depth was kept at about 3 cm. The subsequent management was conducted in a glass greenhouse. Immediately after that, emulsions prepared using the compounds in Table 3 below according to Formulation Example 5 were diluted with water, and a certain amount of the water-diluted agent solutions were dropped. The converted amount of the applied active ingredient corresponded to 120 g per 10 ares.
This test was conducted in a double system per one agent solution concentration area, and the herbicidal rates (%) were determined by the following equation (Math. 1) on 14 days after the treatment with the agents.
Herbicidal Rate (%)={1-(Average Dry Weight (g) of Plant of Treated Area)/(Average Dry Weight (g) of Plant of Untreated Area)}×100 [Math. 1]
The results are shown in Table 3 below. In this regard, a herbicidal rate of 80% or more is the maximum effect, and it has been confirmed that the effect is exhibited also in a test at a low concentration. The compound numbers in Table 3 are the same as those in Table 1 and Table 2 above.
