(0.11 mole) and benzene (100 ml) are charged into a glass
reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, ther
mometer, reflux condenser and Dean-Stark trap. The reaction
mixture is heated a~ reflux, and the water of reaction is
removed as it is formed. After no more water is formed, the
reaction mixture is stripped of solvent under reduced pressure
to yield the desired product 1-(5-methylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thia-
diazol-2-yl)-3-allyl-5-hexamethylenimino-1,3-imidazolidin-2-one. ~.

For practical use as herbicides the compounds of
this invention are generally incorporated into herbicidal
compositions which comprise an inert carrier and a herbicidally
toxic amount of such a compound. Such herbicidal compositions,
whlch can also be called formulations, enable the active :~
compound to be applied conveniently to the site o~ the weed
infestation in any desired quantity. These compositions ..
can be solids such as dusts, granules, or wettable powders;
or they can be liquids such as solutions, aerosols, or emulsi-
iable concentrates.
For example, dusts can be prepared by grinding :.
and blending the active compound with a solid inert carrier ~
such as the talcs, clays, silicas, pyrophyllite, and the ~.
like. Granular formulations can be prepared by impregnating ~ : .
the compound, usually dissolved in a suitable solvent, onto
and into granulated carriers such as the attapulgites or .
~ha ~ermiculites, usually of a particle size range of from - :
about 0.3 to 1.5 mm. Wettable powders, which can be dispersed
in water or oil to any desired concentration of the active . ::
compound, can be prepared by incorporating wetting agents
into concentrated dust composi~ions.
In some cases the active compounds are sufficiently
soluble.in common organic solvents such as kerosene or xylene
so that they can be used directly as solutions in these sol
vents. Frequently, solutions of herbicides can be dispersed
under supera~mospheric pressure as aerosols. However, preferred

liquid herbicidal compositions are emulsifiable concentrates,
which comprise an active compound according to this invention
and as the inert carrier, a solvent and an emulsifier. Such
emulsifiable concentrates can be extended with water and/or
oil to any desired concentration of active compound for appli-
cation as sprays to the si~e of the weed infestation. The
emulsifiers most commonly used in these concentrates are
nonionic or mixtures of nonionic with anionic surface-active
agents. With the use of some emulsifier systems an inverted
emulsion ~water in oil) can be prepared for direct application
to weed infestations.
A typical herbicidal composition according to this
invention is ill~strated by the following example, in which
the quantities are in par~s by weight.

Preparation of a Dust
Product of Example 4 10
Powdered Talc 90
The above ingredients are mixed in a mechanical
grinder-blender and are ground until a homogeneous, free-
flowing dust of the desired particle si~e is obtained. This
dust is suitable for direct application to the site of the
weed infestation.
The compounds o~ this invention can be applied
as herbicides in any manner recognized by the art. One method
or the control of weeds comprises contacting the locus of
said weeds with a herbicidal composition comprising an inert
carrier and as an essential active ingredient, in a quantity
which is herbicidally toxic to said weeds, a compound of
the present invention. The concentration of the new compounds
of this in~ention in the herbicidal compositions will vary
greatly with the type of formulation and the purpose for

which it is designed, but generally the herbicidal composi-
tions will comprise from about 0~05 to about 95 percent by
weight ~f the active compounds of this invention. In a pre-
ferred embodiment of this invention, the herbicidal composi-
tions will comprise from about 5 ~o about 75 percent by weight
of the active compound. The compositions can also comprise
such additional substances as other pesticides, such as insecti-
cides, nematocides, fungicides, and the like; stabilizers,
spreaders, deactivators, adhesives, stickers, fertilizers,
activators, synergis~s, and the like.
The compounds of the present invention are also
usefuI when combined with other herbicides and/or defoliants,
dessicants~ growth inhi~itors, and the like in the herbicidal
compositions heretofore described. These other materials
can comprise from about 5~ to about 95~ of the active ingre-
dients in the herbicidal compositions. Use of combinations
of these other herbicides and/or defoliants, dessicants,
etc. with the compounds of the present invention provide
herbicidal composi~ion~ which are more effective in controlling
weeds and often provide re~ults unattalnable with separate
-compositions of the individuaI herbicides. The other herhi- -
cides t defoliants, dessicants and plant growth inhibitors,
with which the compounds of this inventio~ can be used in
the herbicidal compo~itions to control weeds, can include
chlorophenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, MCPA, MCPB,

Weeds are undesirable plan~s growing where they
are not wanted, having no economic value, and inter~ering
with the production of cultivated crops, with the growing
of ornamental plants, or with the welfare of livestock~
Many types o~ weeds are known, including annuals such as
pigweed, lambsquarters, foxtail~ crabgrass, wild mustard,
field pennycress, ryegrass, goose grass, chickweed, wild
oats, velvetleaf, purslane, barnyardgrass, smartweed, knot-
weed, coc~lebur, wild buc]cwheat, kochia, medic, corn cockley
ragweed, sowthistle, coffeeweed, croton, cuphea, dodder,
fumitory, groundsel, hemp nettle, knawel, spurge, spurry, -
emex, jungle rice, pondweed, dog fennel, carpetweed, morning-
glvry, bedstraw, ducksalad, naiad, cheatgrass, fall panicum,
iimsonweed, witchgrass, switchgrass, watergrass, teaweed,
wild turnip and sprangletop; biennials such as wild carrot,
matricaria, wild barley, campion, chamomile, burdock, mullein,
roundleaved mallow, bull thistle, hounds-tongue, moth mullein
and purple star thistle; or perennials such as white cockle,
perennial ryegrass, quackgrass, Johnsongrass, Canada thistle,
hedge bindweed, Bermuda grass, sheap sorrel, curly dock,
nutgrass,~field chickweed, dandelion, campanula, field bind-
weed, Russian knapweed, mesquite, toadflax, yarrow, aster,
gromwell, horse~ail, ironweed, ~esbanla, bulrush, cattail,
winter-cressl horsenettle, nutsedge, milkweed and sicklepod.
Similarly, such weeds can be classified as broad-
leaf or grassy weeds~ It is economically desirable to control
the growth of such weeds without dama~ing beneficial plants
or livestock.
The new compounds o this in~ention are particularly
valuable for weed control because they are toxic to many
.

species and groups of weeds while they are relatively non-
toxic to many ~eneficial plants. The exact amount of compound
required will depend on a variety of factors, including the
hardiness of the particular weed species, weather, type of
soil, method of applica~ion, the kind of beneficial plants
in the same area and the like. Thus, while the application
of up to only about one or two ounces of active compound
per acre may be sufficient for good control of a light infesta-
tion of weeds growing under adverse conditions, the application
of ten pounds or more o~ an active compound per acre may
be required for good control of a dense infestation of hardy
perennial weeds growing under favorable conditions.
The her~icidal toxicity of the new compounds of
this invention can be illu~trated by many o the established
testin~ techniques known to the art, such as pre- and post-
emergence testing~
The~herbicidal activity of the compounds of this
invention was demonstrated by experiments carried out for
the pre-emergence control of a variety of weeds. In these
~20 experiments small plastic greenhou~e pots filled with dry
. .
90il were seeded with the various weed seeds. Twenty-four
~hours or less after seeding the pots were sprayed with water
until the soil was wet and the test compounds formulated
as aqueous emulsions of acetone solutions containing emulsi-
fiers were sprayed at the indicated concentrations on the
surface of the soil.
After spraying, the soil containers were placed
in the greenhouse and provided wi~h supplementary heat as
required and dally or more frequent watering. The plants
were maintained under these conditions for a period of 21
days, at which time the condition of the plants and the degree
of injury to the plants was rated on a scale of from 0 to ~ -

The herbicidal activity of the compounds of this
invention was also demonstrated by experiments carried out
for the post emergence control of a variety of weeds. In
these experiments the compounds to be tested were formulated
as aqueous emulsions and sprayed at the indicated dosage on
the foliage of the weeds that have attained a prescribed
size~ After spraying, the plants were placed in a greenhouse
and watered daily or more frequently. Water was not applied
to the foliage of the treated plants. The severity of the
injury was de~ermined 14 days after treatment and was rated
on the scale of from O to 10 heretofore described. The
effectiveness of these compounds is demonstrated by the data
in Tables II--and~
