However, the selectivity of these known herbi- cides with respect to the weeds is satisfactory only to a limited extent, so that it is an object of the present invention to provide novel herbicidal compounds, by means of which the weeds can be selectively controlled more effectively than to date (in conjunction with good compatibility for the crop plants).
We have found that this object is achieved by the substituted cyclohexene-1,2-carboxylic acid derivatives Ia and Ib defined at the outset.
We have also found herbicides which contain these substances and have a good herbicidal action.
We have furthermore found that the novel compounds Ia and Ib are suitable as defoliants and desiccants, for example in the crops cotton, potato, rape, sunflower, soybean or field beans.

Furthermore, the tetrahydroisophthalimides No. IIIa.001 to III.024 which correspond to compounds No. IIIa.001 to III.024 and in which R.sup.4 in each case is fluorine are particularly preferred.
The substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ia are obtainable by various methods, preferably by one of the following processes:
a) Ring cleavage of a substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide of the formula II or of a 3,4,5,6-tetrahydroisophthalimide of the formula III with an amine, hydroxylamine or hydrazine IV: ##STR14##
As a rule, the reaction is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, for example in an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, toluene or o-, m- or p-xylene, in a halohydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene, in an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as diethyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, in an inert polar, organic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or acetonitrile, in an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol or diethylene glycol, in acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, nitrobenzene or water or in a mixture of the stated solvents.
However, it is also possible to carry out the reaction in the absence of a solvent, in an excess of IV.
Depending on the starting materials used, the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst, for example of a Bronstedt acid, such as hydrogen chloride, or of a Lewis acid, such as aluminum trichloride or boron trifluoride, may increase the reaction rate.
The compounds of the formula IV can be used as free amine bases or in the form of their ammonium, hydroxylammonium or hydrazinium salts, salts with anions which are inert under the reaction conditions being suitable. Examples of suitable salts are those of the compounds IV with inorganic mineral acids, such as hydrohalic acids, in particular hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, and sulfuric acid and nitric acid, or with organic acids, such as oxalic acid and acetic acid.
The ratios can usually be varied within wide ranges. In general, however, the amount of IV is from 10 mol % to a 10-fold molar excess, based on II or III. For the maximum possible conversion of II or III, at least equimolar amounts of IV are required. The relatively large excess of IV is present in particular when the compound simultaneously serves as reactant and solvent.
The reaction is usually carried out at from -40.degree. C. to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably from -20.degree. to 40.degree. C.
The reaction is not noticeably dependent on the pressure. It is therefore advantageously carried out at atmospheric pressure or under the autogenous pressure of the particular solvent.
b) Reaction of a substituted aniline of the formula V with a tetrahydrophthalimide of the formula VI or with a tetrahydroisophthalimide of the formula VII to give compounds I (R.sup.1 .dbd.hydrogen): ##STR15##
The amines V can be used as free amine bases or in the form of their ammonium salts, salts with anions which are inert under the reaction conditions being suitable. Examples of suitable salts are those of the compounds V with inorganic mineral acids, such as hydrohalic acids, in particular hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, and sulfuric acid and nitric acid, or with organic acids, such as oxalic acid and acetic acid.
The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent or in an excess of V, and the presence of a catalyst may be advantageous.
Regarding the solvent, the catalyst, the ratios, the temperature and the pressure, the statements made for method (a) are applicable.
c) Condensation of a tetrahdyrophthalamic acid or of a tetrahydrophthalamic ester VIII (R.sup.20 .dbd.hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical) with a primary amine IV (R.sup.1 .dbd.H) in a conventional manner (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume E5/2, 1985, pages 941 et seq. and 983 et seq.): ##STR16## d) Reaction of tetrahydrophthalmic acid derivatives Ia (R.sup.1 .dbd.H) with electrophiles R.sup.1 --Y in the presence of a base: ##STR17##
Y is a reactive substituent which ensures that R.sup.1 acts as an electrophile on the nitrogen atom of an amido group. Particularly suitable radicals Y are halogen atoms, such as chlorine or bromine, or alkyl- or haloalkylsulfonyloxy groups.
The reaction is carried out in a conventional manner (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume E 5/2, 1985, page 998 et seq.).
In addition to the stated methods of synthesis, it may be advantageous, depending on the particular substituents, to prepare the desired compound I from another substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivative Ia:
e) Oxidation of substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxamides I, in which R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylthio-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, to give substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxamides of the formula I, where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylsulfinyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or Cl-C.sub.4 -alkylsulfonyl-Cl-C.sub.4 -alkyl.
The oxidation is carried out in a conventional manner (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume 11/1, 4th Edition 1957, page 702 et seq., and Volume 11/2, 4th Edition 1958, page 1094 et seq.), m-chloroperbenzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide being particularly suitable oxidizing agents.
f) Acylation of a substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivative Ia, where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl, with an acylating agent, such as acetyl chloride, to give a substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivative Ia, where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 --C.sub.4 -alkylcarbonyloxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl.
The reaction is carried out in a conventional manner (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume E 5/2, 1985, page 1126).
The substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ib are likewise obtainable by various methods, preferably by one of the following processes:
g) Dehydration of a substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxamide of the formula Ia, where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each H, with a suitable dehydrating agent: ##STR18##
As a rule, the reaction is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, for example in an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, toluene or o-, m- or p-xylene, in a halohydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene, in an aliphatic or cyclic ether, such as diethyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, in an inert polar, organic solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or acetonitrile, or in an organic nitrogen base, eg. pyridine or triethylamine.
Particularly suitable dehydrating agents are cyanuric chloride, chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride pyridine, thionyl chloride or particularly preferably trifluoroacetic anhydride. Other dehydrating agents which are also suitable are described, for example, in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Synthese, Vol. E5, page 1356 et seq. and Vol. VIII, page 300 et seq. and in the literature cited there.
The reaction is usually carried out at from -40.degree. to 120.degree. C., preferably from -20.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent used.
The reaction is not noticeably dependent on the pressure. It is therefore advantageously carried out at atmospheric pressure or under the autogenous pressure of the particular solvent.
h) Reaction of an acyl chloride of the formula IX with an aniline of the formula V ##STR19##
The conditions under which such a reaction is carried out are generally known and are described, for example, in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Vol. VIII, page 655; Vol. XI/2, page 10 et seq.; Vol. E5, 5972 et seq.
Regarding the preparation of the acyl chlorides IX, reference may be made to Tetrahedron 32 (1976), 2379 et seq. and La Chimica e L' Industria 40 (1958), 887-995, and the literature cited there.
i) Reactions at the radicals R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 in the formulae Ia and Ib
Ester hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, transesterification, etherification, ether cleavage, olefination, reduction, oxidation or halogen or cyano exchange may be mentoined by way of example.
The reaction conditions are generally known and are described in standard chemical works, such as HoubenWeyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, or R. C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transforamtions, VCH Publishers, New York 1989.
The substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides of the formula IIa ##STR20## where R.sup.6'" is one of the following heterocycles: tetrahydropyran-2-yl, tetrahydropyran-3-yl, tetrahydropyran-4-yl, pyrrol-2-yl, pyrrol-3-yl, thien-3-yl, oxazol4-yl, oxazol-5-yl, thiazol-4-yl, thiazol-5-yl, furan-3-yl, tetrahydrothiopyran-2-yl, tetrahydrothiopyran-3-yl, tetrahydrothiopyran-4-yl, thiazolidin-2-yl, ##STR21## and these heterocycles may carry one of the following substituents on each substitutable ring member: nitro, amino, hydroxy, halogen, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkynyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -haloalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -haloalkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkylthio-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxyalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -cyanoalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxycarbonyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxycarbonyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, are novel.
The compounds II are prepared in general by condensation of the compounds XI with tetrahydrophthalic anhydrides XII. The presence of a protic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or benzenesulfonic acid, may be advantageous here: ##STR22##
The condensation is advantageously carried out in an inert organic solvent, for example lower alkanoic acid, such as acetic acid, propionic acid and isobutyric acid, alkanoates, such as ethyl acetate, relatively high-boiling hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, amides, such as dimethylformamide, or mixtures of the stated solvents being suitable.
When an aprotic solvent is used, it is advisable to remove the resulting water of reaction continuously.
For the maximum possible conversion, at least equimolar amounts of XI or XII are required. A small excess of one of the two components, up to about 10 mol %, is preferably used.
The reaction temperature is preferably from 0.degree. C. to the boiling point of the particular reaction mixture, in particular from 20.degree. to 140.degree. C.
The reaction is usually carried out at atmospheric pressure or under the autogenous pressure of the particular solvent. Higher or lower pressure is possible but generally has no advantage.
The aniline derivatives XI are in turn obtainable from compounds X by conventional reduction (cf. for example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Volume XI/1, 4th Edition 1957, page 341 et seq.).
Examples of suitable reducing agents are elemental metals, such as iron, hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst, preferably commercial noble metal catalysts, such as platinum on active carbon and Raney nickel, or complex metal hydrides, eg. sodium borohydride, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, preferably of a commercial noble metal catalyst (cf. for example T. Neilson et al., J. Chem. Soc. (1962), 371 and the literature cited there.
The reduced products XI can also be subjected to the condensation with XII without isolation.
Further intermediates II required for the synthesis of the compounds Ia are either known or can be prepared by methods known per se. For example, reference may be made to the following publications:
DE-A 36 03 789, DE-A 36 07 300, DE-A 37 41 237, EP-A 049 508, EP-A 083 055, EP-A 170 191, EP-A 177 032, EP-A 188 259, EP-A 207 894, EP-A 211 805, EP-A 218 972, EP-A 263 299, EP-A 271 170, EP-A 275 131, EP-A 288 960, EP-A 290 863, EP-A 296 416, EP-A 300 307, EP-A 300 387, EP-A 300 398, EP-A 313 963, EP-A 398 115, EP-A 400 427, U.S. Pat.

The present invention furthermore relates to novel substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides of the general formula IIb ##STR23## where R.sup.3 * is hydrogen or methyl,
R.sup.4 * is hydrogen or fluorine,
R.sup.5 * is chlorine,
R.sup.6 * is --CH.sub.2 --CHR.sup.22 CO.sub.2 R.sup.23.sub.1,
R.sup.22 is chlorine or bromine and
R.sup.23 is methyl or ethyl.
It is known that substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides can be used as herbicides (cf. DE-A 36 03 789, EP-A 300 398) or as desiccants and defoliants (cf. DE-A 39 05 916). However, their action is unsatisfactory.
Accordingly, the 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides defined above and of the general formula IIb have been found.
Herbicides and defoliants or desiccants which contain these substances IIb have also been found.
The substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides of the formula IIb may be present in the form of their environmentally compatible salts, suitable salts being in general the salts of bases which do not adversely affect the herbicidal action of IIb.
Particularly suitable basic salts are those of the alkali metals, preferably sodium salts and potassium salts, those of the alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium salts and magnesium salts, and those of the transition metals, preferably zinc salts and iron salts, and the ammonium salts which may carry from one to three C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or hydroxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl substituents and/or one phenyl or benzyl substituent, preferably diisopropylammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, trimethylbenzylammonium and trimethyl-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts and the phosphonium, sulfonium and sulfoxonium salts.
The compounds of the formula IIb may contain a center of chirality and are then in the form of enantiomer mixtures. The invention relates both to the pure enantiomers and to the mixtures thereof.
With regard to the use of the novel substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides of the formula IIb as herbicidal compounds and/or compounds having a defoliant/desiccant action, particularly preferred compounds are shown in Table 22 below:

The compounds of the formula IIb are obtainable in various ways similarly to known reaction methods. Some processes are described below by way of example:
Process A
Compounds of the formula IIb are obtained in a conventional manner (H. P. Doyle, Siegfried, P. C. Elliott and J. F. Dellariar, J. Org. Chem. 42 (1977), 2431) by subjecting a compound of the formula XIII and a compound of the formula XIV to a Meerwein arylation reaction or a conventional modification thereof. ##STR25##
In this type of reaction, the amino compound is converted into a diazonium salt. The latter reacts with an olefin in the presence of a copper salt.
Advantageously, the phenyldiazonium salt is obtained in a conventional manner in aqueous acidic solution, for example in hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or sulfuric acid, by reacting an amino compound of the formula XIII with a nitrite, eg. sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite, etc. The unsaturated component XIV in a suitable solvent, such as H.sub.20, acetone, diethyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethanol, etc., in the presence of a copper halide, eg. CuCl, CuBr, CuCl.sub.2 or CuBr.sub.2, is then added. The reactions can be carried out at from -30.degree. to +50.degree. C. The components of the diazotization reaction are usually used in a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess of one or other component may be advantageous.
As a rule, compounds of the formula XIV are used in a large excess, but it may also be advantageous to use them in a small excess, in a stoichiometric amount or in less than the stoichiometric amount.
The copper halide is generally used in a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess or less than the stoichiometric amount may be advantageous.
Alternatively, the phenyldiazonium salt may be obtained in a conventional manner in anhydrous systems, for example hydrochloric acid-containing glacial acid acetic, dioxane, absolute alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile or acetone, with a nitrite, eg. tert-butyl nitrite, isopentyl nitrite, etc. The diazotization may take place in the presence of the olefin component XIV and of the copper halide or prior to the addition of the two last-mentioned components.
Process B
Compounds of the formula IIb are obtained in a conventional manner by hydrogenation of compounds of the formula XV ##STR26##
Examples of suitable reducing agents are elemental metals, eg. iron, tin, zinc, etc., hydrogen in the presence of suitable catalysts, eg. Pd/C, Pt/C, Raney Ni, etc., complex metal hydrides, eg. LiAlH.sub.4, NaBH.sub.4, etc., in the presence or absence of catalysts.
The solvents usually used are acids, eg. acetic acid, propionic acid, etc., alcohols, eg. methanol, ethanol, etc., ethers, eg. diethyl ether, methyl tertbutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc., aromatics, eg. benzene, toluene, etc., or corresponding mixtures, said solvents being matched with the reducing agents.
The reactions can be carried out at from -100.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the particular solvent or solvent mixture.
Usually, the starting materials are used in a stoichiometric ratio, but in specific cases an excess of one or other component may be advantageous.
Process C
Compounds of the formula IIb are obtained by processes known from the literature or similar to processes known from the literature, from compounds of the formula IIb.sup.+ by exchanging R.sup.22+ for another halide, the starting materials being obtained by processes A, B and D. ##STR27##
A suitable radical R.sup.22+ is chlorine or bromine and a suitable radical R.sup.22 is bromine or chlorine, nickel catalysts being used, in correspondingly matched aprotic solvents or solvent mixtures, such as acetone, diethyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, dimethylformamide, diethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane or chlorohydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, etc.
The reactions are usually carried out at from -30.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the particular solvent or solvent mixture.
As a rule, the starting materials are used in a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess or less than the stoichiometric amount of one or other component may be advantageous.
Process D
Compounds of the formula IIb are obtained in a conventional manner by condensation of an anhydride of the formula XII and an aniline of the formula XVI ##STR28## in an inert organic solvent. Alkanecarboxylic acids, eg. acetic acid, propionic acid or isobutyric acid, alkanecarboxylates, eg. ethyl acetate, aprotic solvents, eg. dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc., aromatics, eg. toluene, xylene, etc. are suitable for this purpose. When an aprotic solvent is used, continuous removal of the resulting water of reaction or acid catalysis, for example by means of p-toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, etc. is advisable.
The reactions are usually carried out at from 0.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent or solvent mixture.
As a rule, the starting materials are used in a stoichiometric ratio. However, an excess or less than the stoichiometric amount of one or other component may be advantageous.
Process E
Compounds of the formula XVI are obtained in a conventional manner (Houben-Weyl, Vol. XI/1, page 341 et seq. (4th Edition)) by reducing the corresponding nitro compound XVII. ##STR29##
Examples of suitable reducing agents are elemental metals, eg. iron, tin, zinc, etc., hydrogen in the presence of suitable catalysts, eg. Pd/C, Pt/C, Raney Ni, etc., complex metal hydrides, eg. LiAlH.sub.4, NaBH.sub.4, etc., in the presence or absence of catalysts.
The solvents usually used are acids, eg. acetic acid, propionic acid, etc., alcohols, eg. methanol, ethanol, etc., ethers, eg. diethyl ether, methyl tertbutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc., aromatics, eg. benzene, toluene, etc., or corresponding mixtures, said solvents being matched with the reducing agent.
The reactions can be carried out at from -100.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the particular solvent or solvent mixture.
The starting materials are usually used in a stoichiometric ratio, but in specific cases an excess of one or other component may be advantageous.
Process F
Compounds of the formula XVII are obtained in a conventional manner (M. P. Doyle, B. Siegfried, R. C. Elliot and J. F. Dellaria, J. Org. Chem. 42 (1977), 2431) by subjecting an aniline of the formula XVIII and a compound of the formula XIV to a Meerwein arylation reaction or modifications thereof. ##STR30##
In this type of reaction, the amino compound is converted into a diazonium salt. The latter reacts with an olefin in the presence of a copper salt.
Advantageously, the phenyldiazonium salt is obtained in a conventional manner in aqueous acid solution, for example in hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or sulfuric acid, by reacting an amino compound of the formula XVIII with a nitrite, eg. sodium nitrite, potassium nitrite, etc. The unsaturated component XIV in a suitable solvent, eg. H.sub.2 O, acetone, diethyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethanol, etc., in the presence of a copper halide, eg. CuCl, CuBr, CuCl.sub.2 or CuBr.sub.2, is then added. The reactions can be carried out at from -30.degree. to +500.degree. C. The components of the diazotization reaction are usually used in a stoichiometric ratio, but an excess of one or other component may be advantageous.
As a rule, compounds of the formula XIV are used in a large excess, but it may also be advantageous to employ them in a small excess, in a stoichiometric amount or less than the stoichiometric amount.
The copper halide is used, as a rule, in the stoichiometric ratio, but an excess or less than the stoichiometric amount may be advantageous.
Alternatively, the phenyldiazonium salt can be obtained in a conventional manner in anhydrous systems, for example hydrogen chloride-containing glacial acetic acid, dioxane, absolute alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile or acetone, with a nitrite, eg. tert-butyl nitrite, isopentyl nitrite, etc. The diazotization may take place in the presence of the olefin component XIV and of the copper halide or before the addition of two last-mentioned components.

Regarding the known 3,4,5,6-tetrahydroisophthalimides III, refer in particular to DE-A 27 33 115, EP-A 271 170, EP-A 275 131, EP-A 073 409, JO 59/070 682 and JO 59/204 181.
The 3,4,5,6-tetrahydroisophthalimides of the formula III are advantageously obtained by intramolecular condensation from compounds VIII: ##STR32##
The condensation is carried out in an inert solvent in the presence of a condensing agent.
Examples of suitable solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, halohydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene, ketones, such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, esters, such as ethyl acetate, or nitriles, such as acetonitrile.
Suitable condensing agents are mainly carbodiimides derivatives, eg. dicyclohexylcarbodiimides or diethylcarbodiimide, or combinations of a base and an acylating agent or acyl chloride.
Examples of suitable bases for this purpose and aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline and pyridine, or inorganic bases, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
Among the acyl chlorides, for example, thionyl chloride and phosphoryl chloride are suitable.
Examples of suitable acylating agents are acetic anhydride, methyl chloroformate, trifluoroacetic anhydride and acetyl chloride.
The amount of condensing agent is not critical. In order to achieve the maximum possible conversion, it is advisable to use from an equimolar amount to twice the amount, based on VIII, of condensing agent.
The reaction is carried out at from -20.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 0.degree. to 50.degree. C.
The compounds VIII are obtained, for example, by reacting
an aniline XI with a tetrahydrophthalic anhydride XII in an inert solvent (cf. U.S. Pat. No. 4,472,190 and the literature cited there) or
a substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide II with a hydroxide or alcoholate R.sup.20 --O.sup.- M.sup.+, where M.sup.+ is one equivalent of a metal ion, in particular of an alkali metal ion, such as lithium, sodium and potassium, and R.sup.20 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -alkenyl or phenyl which may be unsubstituted or may carry from one to three radicals selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, nitro, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -haloalkyl and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy.
The reaction of an aniline derivative XI with a tetrahydrophthalic anhydride XII is carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, halohydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, or organic acids, such as acetic acid, being particularly suitable for this purpose.
The reaction of a substituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide II with a hydroxide or alcoholate is likewise carried out in an inert solvent or diluent, for example aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, halohydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane or chlorobenzene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, or alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, being suitable for this purpose.
For both methods of preparation, the reactants are usually used in roughly equimolar amounts, unless an excess of up to about 10 mol % of one or other component is advisable.
The reaction temperature is usually from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 10.degree. to 60.degree. C.
The compounds X, XI and XII are known or can be prepared by methods known per se, as described, for example, in the abovementioned publications.
Among the tetrahydrophthalamic esters VIII, novel ones are those of the formula VIIIa ##STR33## provided that R.sup.5 and R.sup.6" do not together form one of the following chains:
a substituted di- or trimethyleneoxy group bonded to the bonding site R.sup.6" via the oxygen,
a substituted di- or trimethylenecarbonyl group bonded to the bonding site R.sup.6" via the carbonyl group or
a substituted di- or trimethyleneoximino group bonded to the bonding site R.sup.6" via the oximino group.
R.sup.6" differs from R.sup.6 only in the meaning OR.sup.9" instead of --OR.sup.9, where R.sup.9" (in contrast to R.sup.9) is not C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -haloalkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -haloalkenyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -haloalkynyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxycarbonyl-C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkyl (cf. DE-A 27 33 115, EP-A 073 409, EP-A 271 170, EP-A 275 131, JO 59/070 682 and JO 59/204 181).
Both the substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ia and Ib and the tetrahydrophthalimides IIa and IIb, the tetrahydroisophthalimides III and the tetrahydrophthalamic esters VIII may be obtained as isomer mixtures in the preparation. However, all isomer mixtures can, if desired, be separated into the pure isomers by the conventional methods, for example by crystallization or chromatography, if necessary over an optically active absorbate.
Mixtures of the optically active isomers which contain an excess of one isomer can also be prepared, for example, using optically active starting materials.
The novel substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ia and Ib, tetrahydrophthalimides IIa and IIb, tetrahydroisophthalimides IIIa and tetrahydrophthalamic esters VIIIa are suitable, in the form of both isomer mixtures and the pure isomers, as herbicides and as defoliants/desiccants.
The substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ia and Ib, tetrahydrophthalimides IIa and IIb, tetrahydroisophthalimides IIIa and tetrahydrophthalamic esters IIIa are suitable, in the form of both isomer mixtures and the pure isomers, as herbicides, in particular for controlling dicotyledon weeds.
Particularly at low application rates, they are tolerated and therefore selective in crops such as wheat, rice, corn, soybean and cotton.
The substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives Ia and Ib, tetrahydrophthalimides IIa and IIb, tetrahydroisophthalimides IIIa and tetrahydrophthalamic esters VIIIa are also suitable as desiccants and defoliants, in particular for the defoliation of cotton, and as defoliants for drying out the above-ground plant parts in crops, for example potato, sunflower, soybean and rape. This permits completely mechanized harvesting of these important crops.
Also of economic interest is the facilitation of harvesting permitted by concentrated dropping at a particular time or reduction of the adhesion to the tree in the case of citrus fruits, olives or other species and varieties of pomes, drupes and hard-shelled fruit. They alsc lead to uniform ripening of the harvested fruits.
The same mechanism, ie. the promotion of the formation of abscission tissue between the fruit or leaf part and the shoot part of the plant is also essential for readily controllable defoliation of crops, in particular cotton. Furthermore, shortening the interval in which the individual cotton plants ripen leads to a higher fiber quality after harvesting.
The compounds Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa and VIIIa and the herbicides or desiccants/defoliants containing them can be used, for example, in the form of directly sprayable aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, including concentrated aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broadcasting agents or granules, by spraying, nebulizing, dusting, broadcasting or pouring. The application forms depend on the intended uses; they should in any case ensure very fine distribution of the active ingredients.
The compounds Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa and VIIIa are suitable in general for the prepration of directly sprayable solutions, emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions. Suitable inert additives are mineral oil fractions having a medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene or diesel oil, as well as coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg. toluene, xylene, paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes or derivatives thereof, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, chlorobenzene, isophorone or strongly polar solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone or water.
Aqueous application forms may be prepared from emulsion concentrates, dispersions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by adding water. For the preparation of emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substrates as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent can be homogenized in water by means of wetting agents, adherents, dispersants or emulsifiers. However, it is also possible to prepare concentrates which consist of active ingredient, wetting agents, adherents, dispersants and emulsifiers and possibly solvents or oil and which are suitable for dilution with water.
Suitable surfactants are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, for example lignin-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, and of fatty acids, alkylsulfonates and alkylarylsulfonates, alkylsulfates, lauryl ether sulfates and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols and of fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene or of the naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or nonyl-phenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylenealkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, ligninsulfite waste liquors or methylcellulose.
Powders, broadcasting agents and dusts can be prepared by mixing or milling the active ingredients together with a solid carrier.
Granules, for example coated, impregnated and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths, such as silicas, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, kieselguhr, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, milled plastics, fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate or ureas, and vegetable products, such as cereal flour, bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders and other solid carriers.
The formulations contain in general from 0.01 to 95, preferably from 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient. The active ingredients are used in a purity of from 90 to 100%, preferably from 95 to 100% (according to NMR spectrum).
Examples of such formulations are:
I. a mixture of 20 parts by weight of compound No. Ia.12, 80 parts by weight of xylene, 10 parts by weight of the adduct of from 8 to 10 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of N-monoethanololeamide, 5 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, 5 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of castor oil. By finely distributing the mixture in 100,000 parts by weight of water, an aqueous dispersion which contains 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient is obtained.
II. a dispersion of 20 parts by weight of compound No. Ia.09 in a mixture of 40 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 30 parts by weight of isobutanol, 20 parts by weight of the adduct of 7 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of isooctylphenol and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of castor oil. The mixture of this dispersion with 100,000 parts by weight of water contains 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
III. a dispersion of 20 parts by weight of compound No. 010 in a mixture of 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanone, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction having a boiling point of from 210.degree. to 280.degree. C. and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of castor oil. The mixture of this dispersion with 100,000 parts by weight of water contains 0.02% of the active ingredient.
IV. a mixture, milled in a hammer mill, with 20 parts by weight of compound No. IIb.02, 3 parts by weight of the sodium salt of diisobutylnaphthalene-.alpha.-sulfonic acid, 17 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a ligninsulfonic acid obtained from a sulfite waste liquor and 60 parts by weight of silica gel powder. By finely distributing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water, a spray liquor which contains 0.1% by weight of the active ingredient is obtained.
V. a mixture of 3 parts by weight of compound No. lIb.04 and 97 parts by weight of a finely divided kaolin. This dust contains 3% by weight of active ingredient.
VI. a stable oily dispersion of 20 parts by weight of compound No. IIIa.010, 2 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, 8 parts by weight of a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, 2 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a phenolsulfonic acid/urea/formaldehyde condensate and 68 parts by weight of a paraffinic mineral oil.
The herbicides or the active ingredients can be applied by the preemergence or postemergence method. If the active ingredients are less well tolerated by certain crops, it is possible to use application methods in which the herbicides are sprayed with the aid of the sprayers in such a way that the leaves of the sensitive crops are as far as possible not affected, while the active ingredients reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing underneath or the uncovered soil surface (post-directed, lay-by).
The application rates of active ingredient are from 0.001 to 3.0, preferably from 0.01 to 1, kg/ha of active ingredient (a.i.), depending on the aim of control, the season, the target plants and the stage of growth.
In view of the versatility of the application methods, compounds Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa and VIIIa and agents containing them may also be used in a further number of crops for eliminating undesirable plants. For example, the following crops are suitable:

To broaden the action spectrum and to achieve synergistic effects, compounds Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa and VIIIa may be mixed with a large number of typical members of other groups of herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredients and applied together with them. For example, suitable components of the mixture are diazines, 4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives, benzothiadiazinones, 2,6-di-nitroaniline, N-phenylcarbamates, thiocarbamates, halocarboxylic acids, triazines, amides, ureas, diphenyl ethers, triazinones, uracils, benzofuran derivatives, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives which may carry, for example, a carboxyl or carbimino group in the 2-position, quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives, imidazolinones, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, aryloxy- and hetaryloxyphenoxypropionic acids and the salts, esters and amides thereof and others.
It may also be useful to apply the compounds Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa or VIIIa, alone or in combination with other herbicides, also mixed together with further crop protection agents, for example with pesticides or agents for controlling pests or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. The miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are used for eliminating nutrient and trace element deficiencies is also of interest. However, nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.

Use Examples (herbicidal activity)
The herbicidal action of the substituted cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid derivatives I, tetrahydrophthalimides IIa and IIb, tetrahydroiosphthalimides IIIa and tetrahydrophthalamic esters VIIIa were demonstrated by means of greenhouse experiments:
The culture vessels used were plastic flower pots containing loamy sand with about 3.0% by weight of humus as a substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately according to species.
In the preemergence treatment, the active ingredients suspended or emulsified in water were applied directly after sowing, by means of finely distributing nozzles. The vessels were lightly sprinkler-irrigated in order to promote germination and growth and were then covered with transparent plastic covers until the plants had begun to grow. This covering ensured more uniform germination of the test plants unless germination was adversely affected by the active ingredients.
For the postemergence treatment, the test plants were grown to a height of growth of from 3 to 15 cm, depending on the form of growth, before being treated with the active ingredients suspended or emulsified in water. The test plants were either sown and grown in the test vessels in which they were treated, or they were grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test vessels a few days before the treatment with the active ingredient formulations.
The application rate for the postemergence treatment was 0.5 kg/ha of a.i. (active ingredient).
The plants were kept at from 10.degree. to 25.degree. C. or from 20.degree. to 35.degree. C., depending on the species. The test period covered from 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended and their reaction to the individual treatments was evaluated.
The evaluation was based on a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants or complete destruction of at least the above-ground parts, and 0 means no damage or normal course of growth.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments consisted of the following species:

The result showed that undesirable weeds can be very readily controlled with compounds No. Ia.12, Ia.09, Ia.06, Ia.08, Ia.07, Ia.10, Ia.11, Ib.010, IIb.02 to IIb.04 and IIIa.010.
