Description

This invention relates to certain new pyrazole derivatives, to a process for their preparation and to their use as herbicides.

It is disclosed in Japanese Publication No. Sho 54-36648, published before the application date of this application, that the compounds of the general formula ##STR2## in which, R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group,

R.sub.2 is a lower alkyl group, and X each independently is a halogen atom or a nitro, lower alkyl, trifluoromethyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkane sulfonyl, cyano, lower alkylthio or aliphatic acyl group, n is 1, 2, 3 or 4, and, Y represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, and salts thereof or esters thereof with an organic acid selected from aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic carboxylic acids, carbamic acids, sulfonic acids, thiophosphoric acid diesters, carbonic acid or thiocarbonic acid monoesters, dibasic acids and esters with organic acids of the general formula ##STR3## in which, R.sub.10 represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, have herbicidal activity.

The present invention now provides, as new compounds, the pyrazole derivatives of the general formula ##STR4## in which, X each is a halogen atom, and

R is a halogen atom or an aryl group optionally substituted by halogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl.

The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of a pyrazole derivative of the formula (I), in which 1,3-dimethyl-4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-5-hydroxypyrazole is reacted with an acid halide of the general formula ##STR5## in which, X and R have the abovementioned meanings, and

Hal represents a halogen atom.

The abovementioned prior art does not disclose the compounds of the present invention, which have the ##STR6## residue.

It has been discovered that the novel pyrazole derivatives of the formula (I) of the present invention have excellent herbicidal activity. Further the compounds of the present invention show an excellent herbicidal effect with a low dose compared with the compounds disclosed in the prior art. In addition it has been found that the compounds of the present invention show low toxicity to warm-blooded animals, and are well tolerated by crop plants and may therefore be applied safely. The present invention thus represents a significant contribution to the art.

The process according to the present invention may be represented by the following equation: ##STR7## (wherein X, R and Hal have the abovementioned meanings).

Preferred compounds according to the present invention and preferred starting materials of formula (II) are those in which

X represents halogen atoms such as a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom, and R represents a halogen atom such as those mentioned above, or an aryl group, such as phenyl or naphthyl, optionally substituted by a halogen atom such as those mentioned above or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or n-, iso-, sec.-, or tert.-butyl.

Particularly preferred compounds and starting materials are those in which X represents chlorine atoms and those in which R represents a chlorine atom or a phenyl, naphthyl, monochloro-substituted phenyl- or o-, m- or p-tolyl. An especially preferred compound is the compound in which X and R both represent chlorine atoms.

Examples of preferred acid halides of the general formula (II) for use as starting material in the process of the present invention, are as follows: 3,3-dichloro-2-phenyl acrylic acid chloride, 3,3-dichloro-2-p-tolyl acrylic acid chloride, 3,3-dichloro-2-m-tolyl acrylic acid chloride, 3,3-dichloro-2-o-tolyl acrylic acid chloride, 3,3-dichloro-2-p-chlorophenyl acrylic acid chloride, 3,3-dichloro-2-.alpha.-naphthyl acrylic acid chloride, trichloro acrylic acid chloride, and, in addition, the other corresponding halides, preferably bromides.

If 1,3-dimethyl-4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-5-hydroxypyrazole and 3,3-dichloro-2-phenyl acrylic acid chloride are used as starting materials, the process according to the present invention is illustrated by the following equation: ##STR8##

The process of the present invention is preferably carried out in the presence of a solvent or diluent. For this purpose, any of the inert solvents or diluents may be employed. The following may be mentioned as examples of suitable solvents or diluents for use according to the present invention:

water, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons optionally chlorinated in each case (for example hexane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, ligroin, benzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbontetrachloride, ethylene chloride, trichloroethylene and chlorobenzene), ethers (for example dimethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, di-isopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, propylene oxide, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran), ketones (for example acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone), nitriles (for example acetonitrile, propionitrile and acrylonitrile), esters (for example ethyl acetate and amyl acetate), acid amides (for example dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide), sulfones, sulfoxides (for example dimethylsulfoxide), sulfolane and bases (for example pyridine).

The process of the present invention may be carried out in the presence of an acid-binding agent such as a hydroxide of an alkali metal, a carbonate, a bicarbonate, an alcoholate, a tertiary amine (for example triethylamine), diethylaniline or pyridine.

The process of the present invention may be carried out within a wide temperature range, for example, a temperature between -20.degree. C. and the boiling point of the reaction mixture, and preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The reaction is preferably carried out at atmospheric pressure, but may be carried out under reduced or elevated pressure.

The active compounds according to the invention influence plant growth and can therefore be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broadleaved plants, germination inhibitors and, especially, as weed-killers. By "weeds" in the broadest sense there are meant plants growing in places where they are not desired.

Whether the compounds according to the invention act as total herbicides or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.

The active compounds according to the present invention may be used, for example, to combat the following plants:

dicotyledon weeds of the genera Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea and Solanum; and

monocotyledon weeds of the genera Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.

The active compounds according to the present invention may be used, for example, as selective herbicides in the following cultures:

dicotyledon cultures of the genera Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita; and

monocotyledon cultures of the genera Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera but also embraces other plants, in the same way.

Depending on the concentrations, the compounds can be used for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and railway tracks and on paths and squares with or without trees. 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, cacao plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

It should be pointed out that the compounds according to the present invention show excellent selectivity to paddy rice under flood condition. The compounds of this invention are effective for the control of wide varieties of paddy weeds, for example:

the dicotyledon weeds Rotala indica, Lindernia pyxidaria, Ludwiga prostrata, Potamogeton distinctus and Elatine triandra; and the monocotyledon weeds Echinochloa crus-galli, Monochoria vaginalis, Eleocharis acicularis, Eleocharis Kuroguwai, Cyperus serotinus, Sagittaria pygmaea, Alisma canaliculatum, and Scirpus juncoides.

Further compounds of the present invention also show particular herbicidal activity for the control of the following upland weeds:

the dicotyledon weeds Polygonum sp., Chenopodium album, Stellaria media and Portulaca oleracea; and the monocotyledon weeds Echinochloa crus-galli, Digitaria adscendens and Cyperus iria.

The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, foams, pastes, soluble powders, granules, aerosols, suspension-emulsion concentrates, seed-treatment powders, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances, coating compositions for use on seed, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.

These formulations may be produced in known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is to say liquid or solid diluents or carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is to say emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents.

As liquid diluents or carriers, especially solvents, there are suitable in the main, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, as well as water.

As solid carriers there may be used ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates. As solid carriers for granules there may be used crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks.

As emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there may be used non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene-fatty acids esters, polyoxyethylene-fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products. Dispersing agents include, for example, lignin sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, can be used in the formulations.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs or metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients, such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain from 0.001 to 100 percent by weight of active compound, preferably from 0.005 to 95 percent by weight.

The active compounds according to the invention can be present in the formulations, or in the various use forms, in combination with other active compounds, such as fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, nematicides, herbicides, bird repellents, growth factors, plant nutrients and agents for improving soil structure.

The active compounds can be used as such, as their formulations or as the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes and granules. They may be used in the customary manner, for example by spraying, atomizing, dusting, scattering and watering.

It is also possible to apply the active compounds by means of the ultra-low-volume method, whereby it is possible to employ the compounds at a concentration of up to 100%. The active compounds can also be incorporated into the soil.

In actual use the content of active compounds in said various formulations or ready-to-use preparations is generally from 0.01 to 95% by weight and preferably from 0.05 to 60% by weight.

The amount of an active compound can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general amounts used are between 0.1 to 2.0 kg of active compound per hectare, preferably between 0.25 and 2 kg per hectare.

The present invention also provides herbicidal composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the present invention in admixture with a solid or liquefied gaseous diluent or carrier or in admixture with a liquid diluent or carrier containing a surface-active agent.

The present invention also provides a method of combating weeds which comprises applying to the weeds, or to a habitat thereof, a compound of the present invention alone or in the form of a composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the present invention in admixture with a diluent or carrier.

The present invention further provides crops protected from damage by weeds by being grown in areas in which immediately prior to and/or during the time of the growing a compound of the present invention was applied alone or in admixture with a diluent or carrier.

It will be seen that the usual methods of providing a harvested crop may be improved by the present invention.
