Abstract
Novel substituted pyrazolylpyrazoles of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 -R.sup.6 are as defined in the description, processes for their preparation and intermediates for their preparation and their use as herbicides are described.
Description
The invention relates to novel substituted pyrazolylpyrazoles, processes for their preparation and intermediates for their preparation, and to their use as herbicides.
It has already been disclosed that pyrazoles have herbicidal properties (WO 94/08999).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,405,829 discloses pyrazolylpyrazoles having an unsubstituted amino group as herbicidally active compounds.
WO 94/08999 describes herbicidally active pyrazolylpyrazoles, inter alia having a substituted amino group.
WO 96/09303 likewise discloses substituted pyrazolylpyrazoles having herbicidal properties.
However, the herbicidal activity of the known compounds is frequently insufficient, or else, when the herbicidal activity is appropriate, there are problems with the selectivity in major agricultural crops.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel substituted pyrazolylpyrazoles which do not have these disadvantages and which are superior to the prior art compounds in terms of biological properties.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention in which R.sup.5 is the group --COOR.sup.7 or --CXNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 (process variant A) can be prepared by the process described by Bisagni et al. in Tetrahedron 29, 435 (1973).
The process variant B) is carried out advantageously by reacting the starting material of the formula la in a suitable solvent at a temperature of 20.degree. to 180.degree. C. with a salt of hydrocyanic acid.
Suitable solvents are, for example, ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane, amides, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene, or sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide.
Suitable cyanides include lithium cyanide, sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide.
The compounds of the formula Ia used as starting material are known. Their preparation is described in WO 94108999.
The halogenation according to process variant C) can be carried out by processes known per se for halogenating heterocyclic aromatics, as described for example in Houben-Weyl, Volume V/4, page 233 ff (1960) or Volume V/3, page 511 ff (1962), by using a halogenating agent in a suitable inert solvent.
Suitable halogenating agents include, for example, sulfuryl chloride, sodium hypochlorite, N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, chlorine or bromine.

The compounds of the formula Ie used as starting material are known. Their preparation is described in WO 94/08999.
The compounds according to process variant F) can be prepared by elimination processes known per se, as described for example in J. March "Advanced Organic Chemistry" 2nd edition 1977, page 895 ff and the literature cited therein.
The esterifications according to process step G) are known per se and can be carried out by the customary methods, as described for example in Houben-Weyl, Volume E5, page 659 ff (1985). This also applies to the formation of amides, which are also described for example in Houben-Weyl, Volume E5, page 934 ff (1985).
The individual process steps can be carried out with or without solvent; if required, those solvents or diluents are used which are inert to the reactants in question. Examples of such solvents or diluents are aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons which can in each case be optionally chlorinated, for example hexane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, ligroin, benzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene chloride, trichloroethylene and chlorobenzene, ethers such as, for example, diethyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, methyl t-butyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, ketones such as, for example, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone, nitriles such as, for example, acetonitrile and propiontrile, alcohols such as, for example, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, tert-butanol, tert-amyl alcohol and ethylene glycol, esters such as, for example, ethyl acetate and amyl acetate, acid amides such as, for example, dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, sulfoxides such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide, and sulfones such as, for example, sulfolane, bases such as, for example, pyridine and triethylamine, carboxylic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, and mineral acids such as, for example, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid.
The compounds according to the invention are worked up in the customary manner. They are purified by crystallization or column chromatography.
As a rule, the compounds according to the invention are colorless or pale yellow crystalline or viscous substances, some of which are readily soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons such as, for example, methylene chloride or chloroform, ethers such as, for example, diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, alcohols such as, for example, methanol or ethanol, ketones such as for example, acetone or butanone, amides such as, for example, dimethylformamide, or else sulfoxides such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide.
The compounds according to the invention show a good herbicidal activity on broad-leaved weeds and in grasses. Selective use is possible in a variety of crops, for example in oilseed rape, beet, soybeans, cotton, rice, maize, barley, wheat and other cereal species. Individual compounds are also suitable as selective herbicides in beet, cotton, soybeans, maize and cereals. Equally, the compounds can be employed for controlling weeds in perennial crops such as, for example, in afforestations, plantations of woody ornamentals, orchards, vineyards, citrus stands, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, and in soft fruit and hop fields.
The compounds according to the invention can be used for example in the following plant genera:
dicotyledonous weeds of genera such as Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Brassica, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbaniia, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Sonchus, Solanum, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea and Chrysanthemum; monocotyledonous weeds of the genera such as Avena, Alopecurus, Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Poa, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Cyperus, Elymus, Sagittaria, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Eleocharis, Ischaemum and Apera.
When applied pre-post-emergence, the rates of application vary between 0.001 and 5 kglha, depending on the type of application.
The intensity of action and speed of action can be promoted for example by activity-enhancing additives such as organic solvents, wetting agents and oils. Such additives may therefore allow a reduced dosage of active substance.
The active substances according to the invention or mixtures of these are advantageously used in the form of preparations such as powders, materials for spreading, granules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with an addition of liquid and/or solid carriers or diluents and, if appropriate, tackifiers, wetting agents, emulsifiers and/or dispersants.
Examples of suitable liquid carriers are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, and furthermore mineral oil fractions and vegetable oils.
Suitable solid carriers are minerals such as, for example, bentonite, silica gel, talc, kaolin, attapulgite, limestone and products of vegetable origin, such as, for example, meals.
Surfactants which may be mentioned are, for example, calcium lignosulfonate, polyethlene alkylphenyl ethers, naphthalenesulfonic acids and their salts, phenolsulfonic acids and their salts, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulfates, and also substituted benzenesulfonic acids and their salts.
The amount of active substance(s) in the various products can vary within wide limits. For example, the compositions comprise approximately 10 to 90% by weight of active ingredient, approximately 90 to 10% by weight of liquid or solid carriers and, if appropriate, up to 20% by weight of surfactants.
The compositions can be applied in the customary manner, for example using water as the carrier in amounts of spray mixture of approximately 100 to 1000 liters/ha. Application of the compositions by the low-volume and ultra-low volume method is also possible, as is their application in the form of microgranules.
These products can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example by grinding or mixing processes. If desired, products comprising the individual components may also be mixed only shortly prior to use as is the case, for example, under practice conditions when using the tank mix method.
The examples below illustrate the preparation of the compounds according to the invention.
