Background of the Invention
While many herbicides are immediately toxic to a large
number of weed pests, it is known that the effect of many
herbicides upon important plant cultivations is either non-
selective or no-t adequately selective. Thus, many herbicides
damage not only the weeds to be controlled but, to a greater or
lesser extent, the desirable cultivated plants as well. This
holds true for man~ her~icidal compounds which have been
commercially successful and are commercially available. These
herbicides include types such as triazines, urea derivatives,
halogenated acetanilides, carbamates, thiocarbamates and the
like. Some examples of these compounds are described in U.S.
Patents No. 2,913,327, 3,037,853, 3,175,897, 3,185,720,
3,198,786 and 3,582,314.
The side effect of injury to a cultivated crop by
various herbicides is particularly inconvenient and unfortunate.
When used in the recommended amounts in the soil to control
broadleaf weeds and grasses, serious malformation or stunting
of the crop plants sometimes result. This abnormal growth in
2Q the crop plants sometimes result. This abnormal growth in
the crop plants results in loss of crop yield. The search
; continues for good selective herbicides.
Previous attempts are described to overcome this
problem. The treatment of t~e crop seed with certain "hormonal"
antagonistic agents prior to planting is described; see U.S.
Patents 3,13],509 and 3,564,768. The protective agents, as well
as the herbicide, in these prior processes are largely specific
~'f~

to certain cultivated plant species or in the nature of the
antagoni.stic agents. The prior antagonistic agents have not
been notably successful. The aforementioned patents specifically
exemplify and describe the treatment oE seeds employing compounds
of a different chemi.cal class, not suggestive of the present
invention.
U.S. Patents 3,7~9,760 and 3r933~894~ and East German

As an alternative mode of action, the compounds of this
invention may interfere with the normal herbicidal action of
the thiocarbamate-type and other herbicides to render them
selective in their action. The o~servation noted with the pres-
ence of the herein described antidote i5 a decrease in phyto-
toxuity with respect to various crops, otherwise observed when
various thiocarbamate herbicides are used for weed control.
Whichever mode of action is present, the corresponding beneficial
and desirable effect is the continued herhicidal effect of the
thiocarbamate with the accompanying decreased herbicidal effect
on desired crop species. This advantage and utility will become
more apparent hereinafter.
Therefore, the terms, "herbicide antidote" or "antidotal
amount", is meant to describe that effect which tends to counter-
act the normal injurious herbicidal response that the herbicide
might otherwise prod~ce. ~hether it is to be termed a remedy,
,;lnterferant, protectan~, antagonist or the like, will depend
!:~

upon the exact mode of actlon. The mode of action is varied,
but the effect, which is desirable, is the result of the method
of treating the seed, soil or furrow in which a crop is planted.
Hitherto, there have been no systems which have been
satisfactory Eor this purpose.
The compounds of this invention represented by the avove
formulas can be prepared by several different procedures
depending upon the starting materials.
One general method for preparing N-benzenesulfonyl alkynyl
la carbamates is the reaction of an appropriate alkynol with ben-
zenesulfonyl isocyanate. More particularly, the reaction is
performed in the presence of a solvent such as benzene or chloro-
form with catalytic amounts of triethylamine and dibutyl tin
dilaurate. In some instances, a catalyst is not required. After
the reaction is complete, the product is recovered by filtration
or evaporation of the solvent. I~necessary, the product can be
recrystallized from a suitable solvent.
A general method for preparing N-benzenesulfonyl alkyl
carbamates is ~he reaction of an appropriate benzenesulfonamide
with an alky~ chloroformate in th~ presence of a catalyst, such
as potassium carbonate. A solvent is normally employed to
facilitate the reaction and aid in the work-up of the product.
After filtration, extraction and dryin~, the product can be
; purified further by trituration with hexane or recrystallization
from a suitable solvent. In mos-t instances, the structure was
confirmed by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance or mass
spectroscopy.
The compounds of the presen~ invention and their prepar-
ation are more particularly illustrated by the following examples.

The herbicides indicated in the tables and elsewhere
are used at rates which produce effective control of undesir-
able vegetation. The range of rates employed herein produce
representative results within the recommended amounts set forth
by the supplier. Therefore, the weed control in each instance
is commercially acceptable within the desired or recommended
amount .
It is clear that the class of herbicidal agent described
and illustrated herein is characterized as effective
herbicide exhibiting such activity. The degree of this
herbicidal activity varies among specific compounds and among
combinations of specific compounds within the class. Similarly,
the degree of activity to some extent varies among the species
of plants to which a specific herbicidal compound or combination
may be applied. Thus, selection of a specific herbicidal
compound or combination to control undesirable plant species
re~dily may be made. Within the present invention, the prevention
of injury to a desired crop species in the presence of a specific
compound or combination may be achieved. The beneficial plant
species which can be protected by thïs method is not intended to
be limited by the specific crops employed in the examples.
The herbicidal compound employed in the utility of
this invention is an active thiocarbamat~ herbicide of a general
type. That is, it is a mem~er o~ the class of herbicidally
active compounds effective agains-t a wide range of plant species
with no discrimination bet~een desira~le and undesirable species.
The method of controlling vegetation comprises applying an
herhicidally effective amount of the herein described her~icidal
compound to the area or plant locus where control is desired.
'30 The compositions as set forth in this invention include those
; -16-

.
wherei.n the antidote i.s as described above and the preferred
active herbicial compound is selected from the class of thio-
carbamate herbicides and includes the following as representative
members, S-ethyl dipropyl thiocarbamate, S-ethyl dilsobutyl
thiocarbamate, S-propyl di-n-propyl thiocarbamate, S-ethyl
cyclohexyl ethyl thiocarbamate, S-ethyl hexahydro-lH-azeplne-l
carbothioate, ~,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropyl thiocarbamate,
S-isopropyl l-(5-ethyl-2-methylpiperidine~ carbothioate; alone
and with various combinations thereof and with such other classes
of herbicidal compounds, as triazines, for example, 2-chloro-4-
ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triaz.ine, 2-chloro-~,6-bis(ethyl-
amino)-3-triazine, 2(4-chloro-6-ethylamine-s-triazine-2-yl
amino~-2-methylpropionitrlle, 2-chloro-4-cyclopropylamino-6-
; isopropylamino-s-triazine.
As an embodiment within the scope of the present
invention is a two part or package herbicide sys-tem comprising
a first part of one or more thiocarbamate herbicide and a second
part of an antldote compound therefore it is understood that
the antidote compound is used in an effectlve amount to render
the two-part herbicide system selecti.ve i.n decreasing phytotoxic
effects to desi.red or bene~icial crops and yet phytotoxic to
the undesirable or un~anted vegetation. Thus the soil treated
by such a system becomes extremely useful and desirable, allow-
ing previously injured crops to be planted ln said treated soil,
otherwise injured by the herbi.cï.de when used alone. Hence, soil
treated ~ith herbicide and antidote ;.s described herein ;s
~enefi.cial, desirable and useful.
An herbicide as used h.erein means a compound ~hich
controls or modifies the growth of vegeta~ion or plants. Such
-17-
.,
7~
controlling or modifying effects include all deviations from
natural de~elopment; for example, killing, retardation, defolia-
tion, desiccation, regulation, stunting, tillering, stimulation,
dwarfing and the like. By "plants", it is meant germinant seeds,
emerging seedlings and established vegetation including the
roots and above-ground portions.
Evaluation Procedures
Flats to be used for growing the crops and weed
species were filled with loamy sand soil. Stock solutions
of the herbicide and each candidate antidote were prepared as

Tween 20 ~ (polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-
laurate~ so that 5 ml. when applied by pre-
plant incorporation technique (PPI) is equal
to 5 lb/A per flat.
The herbicide and antidotes were applied to the soil
together as a tank mix employing pre-plant incorporation tech-
nique. To prepare the com~ined tank mix, 5 ml. of the VERNAM
were admixed, followed by incorporation into the soil from the
flats during incorpora-tion in a rotary mixer.

:
One row each of the following weeds and crop was
seeded into the treated soil in the flats: Watergrass
(Echinochloa crusgalli), foxtail (Setaria viridis), and
soybeans (Glycine max).
The flats were placed on greenhouse benches where
temperature were maintained between 70-90F. The soil was
watered by sprinkling to assure good plant growth. Injury
ratings were taken 2 and 4 weeks after the applications were
made. Individual flats treated with the herbicide alone were
included to provide a basis for determining the amount of injury
reduction provided by the herbicide antidotes.
The following table includes results as per cent
protection for the crop according to the procedure discussed
above. The per cent protection is determined by a comparison
with flats not treated with the candidate antidotes of this
invention.

Seed Treatment Test
Small flats were filled with Felton loamy sand soil.
Soil incorporated herbicides were applied at this time. The
soil from each flat was placed into a five-gallon cement mixer
where the soil was mixed as the herbicides were applied using a
pre-determined amount of a stock solution containing 780 mg. of
approximately 75% active ingredient to 125 ml. of water. Five
ml. of stock solution was applied to the soil in a volumetric
pipet. Five ml. of stock solution contained an equivalence of
herbicide which equals six (6) pounds per acre when applied to
the soil in the flats. After the her~icide incorporation, the
soil was placed back into the flats.
Flats of the herbicide-treated and untreated soil were
then ready to be planted. A pint sample of soil was removed
from each flat and placed next to each flat for later use in
covering up the seeds. The soil ~as leveled and rows one-half
inch deep were made for planting seeds. Alternating rows of
- treated and untreated crop seeds were sown. In each tes~,
, -
~76~
soybean (Glycine maxl seeds were planted in each row. Rows
~ere approximately 1-1/2 inches apart in the flat. Seeds were
treated by preparïng a stock solution by dissolving 250 mg. of
the antidote compound in 2.5 ml. of acetone, then using 0.5
ml. of the stock solution to treat 10 g. of soybean seed
equivalent to 0.5~ w/w. Antldote compounds can also be applied
as liquid slurries and powders or dusts. In some cases,
acetone is used to dissolve powdered or solid compounds so
they could be more effectively applied to the seeds.
~fter the flats were seeded, they were covered with
the one pint of soil which had been removed just prior to
planting. Flats were placed on greenhouse benches where
temp~ratures ranging from 70-79~F. Flats were watered by sprinkling as
needed to assure good plant growth. Per cent control ratings
were taken four weeks after the treatments were applied.
In each test, the`herbicide was applied alone, in
combination with the seed protectant, and the seed protectant
was applied alone to check for phytoxicity. The untreated
adjacent row was employed to observe any beneficial lateral
movement of the antidote compound through the soil. The degree
of the effect was noted by comparison with the control.
In this seed treatment test with the herbicide S-n-
propyl N,N-di-n-propyl thiocarbamate, Compound No. 17 exhibited
; 5a% protection to the treated soybean seeds. That is, the
injury was reduced by at least 50% to the emerging soybean plants
grown from seed treated with Compound No. 17, compared to
~; untreated seed grown in soil containing the thiocarbamate
;' herbicide.

Evaluation Procedure and Method
Flats to be used for growing the crops and weed
species were filled with loamy sand soil. Various methods
of application were employed, such as pre-plant incorporation
of 1~ the herbicide and antidote separately, and 2~ as a tank
mix with the herbicide and antidote together. The application
was by incorporation, whereinafter the seeds were planted in
soil treated with an effective herbicidal composition of
thiocarbamate herbicide and antidote; application by an in-furrow
treatment of the seeds and surrounding soil in ~hich the
herbicide had been applied previously to the ~oil; and
treatment of the crop seeds with an antidote candidate prior
to planting in herbicïde treated soil.
Stock solutions of other representative thiocarbamate
herbicides and antidote candidates were prepared as follows:
Herbicides

In-furrow application of the antidote employed the
ahove stock solutions. As a preparatory step, a one pint
sample of soil was removed from eac~ flat to be retained and
used later to cover the seeds after treatment with the stock
solutions. The soil was leveled before planting. The
herbicide stock solution was applied respectively to separate
flats and pre-plant incorporated in the soil from the planting
flat at the equivalent rate of 1 lb/A active ingredient or the
indicated rate.
- 10 Rows 1/4-inch deep were made lengthwise in each
treated flat, preparatory to seeding. After seeding, the flats
were sectioned into t~o equal portions using a wooden barrier
and 1-1/2 ml. of additive stock solution I was atomized directly
onto the exposed seed and soil in the open furrow in one-half
of the flat~ The untreated section of the flat served as an
herbicide check and also made it possible to o~serve any lateral
movement o the antidote through the soil. The seeds were
covered with the one pint sample of untreated soil which had
been removed earlier.
For tank mixes to be applied as a pre-plant
incorporated application, the following solutions and procedure
were employed. Five milliliters ~5 ml.) of herbicide stock
solukions A or C were each mixed wi~h five millilit~rs (5 ml.) of
~ antidote candidate stock solution J such that the equivalent of
; 1 lb/A and 5 lbs/A of her~icide and antidote, respectivelyr were
applied and incorporated into the soil of each flat. For pre-
plant incorporation, the mixed stock solutions weEe injected into
the soïl during incorporatiGn in a 5-gallon rotary mixer.
~ Other stoc~ solutions ere employed at indicated rates in the
1 30 tank mix procedure.

For seed treatment, lQ grams of seed in a suitable
container was shaken with a. 5 ml. of antidote stock solution H,
or other stock solution as indicated, such that the seed
treatment was equivalent to 0.5% w/w, 0.25% w/w, 0.125% w/w or
0.1% w/w. 5haking was continued until the seeds were uniformly
covered. The antidote compounds may be applied as liquid
slurries and powder or dust treatments. The treated seeds were
planted in soil in which herbicide stock solution had been
pre-plant incorporated into the soil at a rate equivalent to
l lb/A active ingredient.
All fla-ts were placed on greenhouse benches where
temperatures were maintained between 70-90F. The soil was
watered by sprinkling to assure good plant growth. Injury
ratings were taken 2 and 4 weeks after the applications were
made. Individual control flats treated with the herbicide alone
~ere included to provide a basis for determining the amount of
injury reduction provided by the herbicide antidotes. The
results of these tests are tabulated in Table III.

In side~by-side tests with various weed species and
crops, it was ~ound that weed control was maintained while at
the same ~ime the crop species were protec~ed or iniury de-
creased, when compared to a check or control flat. The control
~lat contained no antidote compound candida~e. The following
table further exemplifies those results.

The compounds and compositions of this invention
were employed in efective herbicidal compositions comprising
the antidote and a thiocarbamate herbicide as described herein-
above-. The herbicidal compositions were tested in the above
-5~-
,
~ ~ 7
manner.
A preferred herbicidal composition comprises a thio-
carbamate herbicide and an antidotally effective amount of an
antidote compound therefor corresponding to the formula in
~ N- ~ OR
. which ~ is hydrogen, methyl, methox~, chloro or bromo; and R is
alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon a~oms~ inclusive, haloalkyl having
2 to 6 carbon atoms~ inclusive, wherein halo is chloro, bromo
or fluoro from 1 to 6, inclusi~e; alkenyl having 3 to 6 carbon
atoms, inclusive, chloroalkenyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, in
clusive, or alkynyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, incluslve, di-
alkylamino, having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, inclusive~ trifluor-
acetamidomethyl, 4-chlorophenylthiomethyl, phenyl, 3-phenyl~
propyn-2~yl, 3-pyridylmethyl and phosphonomethyl.
The compositions of the present în~rention for the pro-
tectio~ of cul~ivated crop plants ~-omprise the active herbicidal
compound and an antidote therefor selected from the above-de-
scribed compounds. The compositions of herbicide and antidote
, can be prepared by conven~ional me~hods through ~he thorough
.~ mixing and grinding of the ac ~ive herbicide agents and the anti-
dote with suitable carriers and/or other distributiol media,
possibly with the addition of dispe~sion agents or solvents.
,;
The antidote compounds and composi~ions of the present
inventio~ can be used in any co~venient form. A solvent or
inert carrier is not necessary in view of low volume spray tech-
nology which permits ~he use of nea~ ~echnical grade materials
. as sprays Thus, the antidote compounds and composition wi~h
.. the thiocarbamate herbicide can be formulated into emulsifiable
-

liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, liquid, wettable powder,
powders, granular or any other convenient form. In its
preferred form, a non-phytotoxic quantity of an herbicidal
antidote compound is admixed with a selected herbicide and
incorporated into the soil prior to or after planting the seed.
It is to be understood, however, that the herbicide can be
incorporated into the soil and thereafter ~he antidote compound
can be incorporated into the soil. Moreover, the crop seed
itself can be treated wlth a non-phytotoxic quantity of the
compound and planted into the soil which has been treated with
.
herbicide, or un~reated with the herbicide and subsequently
treated with the herbicide. The addition of the antidote com-
pound does not aff~ct the herbicidal activity of the herbicide.
The alternative methods o~ application have been exemplified in
the above examples.
The amount of antidote compound present ~an range
be~ween about 0.001 to about 30 parts by weight of antidote
compound described herein per eaoh part by weight of herbicide.
The exact amount o antidote compound will usually be determined
on econ~mic ratios or the most éfective amou~ usable~ It is
understood that a non~phytotoxic, bu~ effective quantity of
a~tidote compound will be employed in the herbicidal composi~ions

of crops oth~rwise injured by the herbicide to be planted and
grown. The herbicide has its utility in controlling undesir-
able vegetation; the antidote compound decrease the injury from
the herbicide upon the crop species, and the soil ~reated with
herbicide and antidote compound provides an improved media to
grow the crop in the presence of an othe~ise injurious herbicide.
In the utility of the present antidote compounds
and impro~ed herbicide system the thiocarbamate can be applied
to the soil. Application of the herbicide to the soil can take
place by preplant incorporation. In conjunction with the prior
application of the herbicide employing the present invention
crop seeds aré planted. Seed planting is followed by applica-
tion of the antidote as a preemergence surface application. This
sequen~e of application of herbicide, seed plan~ing and anti-
dote is unusual and fully e~fective in decreaslng injury to
the plant crop, otherwise injured by the thiocarbama~e.
