SUBSTITUTED BENZOTHIOPYRANES SALTS AND THEIR USE AS HERBICIDES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain salts, compositions of said salts, and
methods of their
use for controlling undesirable vegetation.
The control of undesired vegetation is extremely important in achieving high
crop
efficiency. Achievement of selective control of the growth of weeds especially
in such
useful crops as rice, soybean, sugar beet, corn (maize), potato, wheat,
barley, tomato and
plantation crops, among others, is very desirable. Unchecked weed growth in
such useful
crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in
increased costs to
the consumer. The control of undesired vegetation in noncrop areas is also
important. Many
products are commercially available for these purposes, but the need continues
for new
compounds which are more effective, less costly, less toxic, environmentally
safer or have
different modes of action.
EP 283,261 discloses heterocycles of Formula i as herbicides:

In the above recitations, the term "alkyl", used either alone or in compound
words such
as "alkylthio" or "haloalkyl" includes straight-chain or branched alkyl, such
as, methyl,
ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, or the different butyl, pentyl or hexyl isomers.
"Alkoxy" includes,
for example, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propyloxy, isopropyloxy and the different
butoxy, pentoxy
and hexyloxy isomers.
The term "halogen", either alone or in compound words such as "haloalkyl",
includes
fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.
The total number of carbon atoms in a substituent group is indicated by the
"C;-Cj"
prefix where i and j are numbers from 1 to 25. For example, C~-C3 alkyl
designates methyl
through propyl.
When a compound is substituted with a substituent bearing a subscript that
indicates
the number of said substituents can exceed 1, said substituents (when they
exceed 1 ) are
independently selected from the group of defined substituents.
When a group contains a substituent which can be hydrogen, for example R~2,
then,
when this substituent is taken as hydrogen, it is recognized that this is
equivalent to said
group being unsubstituted.
Compounds of this invention can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The
various
stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric
isomers. One
skilled in the art will appreciate that one stereoisomer may be more active
andlor may exhibit
beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s) or when
separated from
the other stereoisomer(s). Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to
separate, enrich,
and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. Accordingly, the present
invention
comprises compounds selected from Formula I and agriculturally suitable salts
thereof. The
compounds of the invention may be present as a mixture of stereoisomers,
individual
stereoisomers, or as an optically active form.
Some compounds of this invention can exist as one or more tautomers. One
skilled in
the art will recognize, fox example, that compounds of Formula Ia (Formula I
where Q is

CA 02270245 1999-04-28
WO 98l28291 PCT/(JS97/23469
Q-1 ) can also exist as other tautomers as shown below. One skilled in the art
will recognize
that said tautomers often exist in equilibrium with each other. As these
tautomers
interconvert under environmental and physiological conditions, they provide
the same useful
biological effects. The present invention includes mixtures of such tautomers
as well as the
individual tautomers of compounds of Formula I.

DETAILS OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of Formula I can be prepared by one or more of the following
methods
and variations as described in Schemes 1-13. The definitions of Q, R 1-R 1',

Invention. Compounds of Formulae Ia and Ib are subsets of the compounds of
Formula I,
and a11 substituents for Formulae Ia and Ib are as defined above for Formula

Scheme 1 illustrates the preparation of compounds of Formula Ia whereby an
enol of
Formula 1 is treated with an alkali metal alkoxide in an alcoholic solvent
such as methanol
or ethanol. When M is Ca or Mg, compounds of Formula Ia may be prepared by the
treatment of an enol of Formula 1 with a calcium or magnesium alkoxide. When M
is a
quaternary ammonium salt, compounds of Formula Ia may be prepared by the
treatment of
an enol of Formula 1 with a suitable quaternary ammonium halide salt and a
base. This
conversion is carried out by methods are known in the art (or by slight
modification of these
methods).

aqueous solution
(0.1 N to 12 N) at temperatures between 0 ~C and 100 ~C for a period of time
ranging from
minutes to 3 days. This conversion is carried out by methods known in the art
{or by
slight modification of these methods): for example; see P. A. Grieco, et al.,

Scheme 3 illustrates the preparation of a compound of Formula 1 a whereby an
enol
ester of Formula 2 is reacted with a base such as triethylamine in the
presence of a catalytic
amount of a cyanide source (e.g., acetone cyanohydrin or potassium cyanide) );
standard
acidic workup procedures then yield the compound of Formula 1 a.
Alternatively, the
triethylammonium salt of 1 a can be isolated directly; this method is
preferred for
compounds which may be sensitive to the acidic workup conditions. Treatment of
the
triethylammonium salt of 1 a with aqueous alkali metal hydroxides yields the
corresponding
alkali metal salt of Formula Ia. The cyanide-catalyzed rearrangement is carned
out by
general methods known in the art; see for example, W. J. Michaely, EP 0369803-
A1; D.
Cartwright, et al., EP 0283261-B1.

excess of a
base such as triethylamine in an inert organic solvent such as acetonitrile,

or toluene at temperatures between 0 ~C and 110 ~C (Scheme 4). This type of
coupling is
carried out by general methods known in the art (or by slight modification of

Alternatively, compounds of Formula 2 can be prepared directly from the acids
of
Formula 5 by treatment with an alkyl chloroformate, followed by reaction of
the formed
intermediate mixed anhydrides with the dicarbonyl compounds of Formula 3.
Scheme 6 illustrates the preparation of acids of Formula 5 (n is I or 2)
whereby an acid
of Formula 5 (n is 0) is reacted with a oxidizing reagent such as peroxyacetic
acid,
m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, potassium peroxymonosulfate or hydrogen peroxide.
The
reaction may be buffered with a base such as sodium acetate or sodium
carbonate. The
oxidation is carried out by general methods known in the art (see for example,
B. M. Trost,
et al., J. Org. Chem. (1988), 53, S32; B. M. Trost, et al., Tetrahedron Lett.
(1981), 21, 1287;

bromide of Formula 6 (R 1 and RZ are other than taken together with the carbon
to which they
are attached to form C(=O) and n is 0) is treated with n-butyllithium (or
magnesium), and the
lithium salt (or the Grignard reagent) generated in situ is then reacted with
carbon dioxide
followed by acidification with an acid such as hydrochloric acid. This
conversion is carried
out by general methods known in the art; see for example, M. A. Ogliaruso et
al., Synthesis

protection/deprotection sequences or
functional group interconversions into the synthesis will aid in obtaining the
desired
products. The use and choice of the protecting groups will be apparent to one
skilled in

5 It is recognized that some reagents and reaction conditions described above
for
preparing compounds of Formula I may not be compatible with certain
functionalities
present in the intermediates. In these instances, the incorporation of
protection/deprotection
sequences or functional group interconversions into the synthesis will aid in
obtaining the
desired products. The use and choice of the protecting groups will be apparent
to one skilled
10 in chemical synthesis (see, for example, Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M.
Protective Groups in
Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991 ). One skilled in the art
will recognize
that, in some cases, after the introduction of a given reagent as it is
depicted in any individual
scheme, it may be necessary to perform additional routine synthetic steps not
described in
detail to complete the synthesis of compounds of Formula I. One skilled in the
art will also
recognize that it may be necessary to perform a combination of the steps
illustrated in the
above schemes in an order other than that implied by the particular sequence
presented to
prepare the compounds of Formula I.
One skilled in the art will also recognize that compounds of Formula I and the
intermediates described herein can be subjected to various electrophilic,
nucleophilic,
radical, organometallic, oxidation, and reduction reactions to add
substituents or modify
existing substituents.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art using
the preceding
description can utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The
following Examples
are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting of
the disclosure in any
way whatsoever. Percentages are by weight except for chromatographic solvent
mixtures or
where otherwise indicated. Parts and percentages for chromatographic solvent
mixtures are
by volume unless otherwise indicated. The abbreviation "dec" indicates that
the compound
appeared to decompose on melting. 1 H NMR spectra are reported in ppm

Formulation/LJtility
Compounds of this invention will generally be used as a formulation or
composition
with an agriculturally suitable carrier comprising at least one of a liquid
diluent, a solid
S diluent or a surfactant. The formulation or composition ingredients are
selected to be
consistent with the physical properties of the active ingredient, mode of
application and
environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature. Useful
formulations
include liquids such as solutions {including emulsifiable concentrates),
suspensions,
emulsions (including microemulsions and/or suspoemulsions) and the like which
optionally
can be thickened into gels. Useful formulations further include solids such as
dusts,
powders, granules, pellets, tablets, films, and the like which can be water-
dispersible
("wettable") or water-soluble. Active ingredient can be (micro)encapsulated
and further
formed into a suspension or solid formulation; alternatively the entire
formulation of active
ingredient can be encapsulated (or "overcoated"). Encapsulation can control or
delay release
of the active ingredient. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable
media and used
at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High-
strength
compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation.
The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active
ingredient, diluent
and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100
percent by
weight.

~LlcCutcheon '.s Detergents crud Emtrlsifiers Annual, Allured Publ. Corp.,
Ridgewood, New
Jersey, as well as Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents,
Chemical Publ.
Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All
formulations can
contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foam, caking, corrosion,
microbiological
growth and the like, or thickeners to increase viscosity.
Surfactants include, for example, polyethoxylated alcohols, polyethoxylated
alkylphenols, polyethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters, dialkyl
sulfosuccinates, alkyl
sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, organosilicones, N,N dialkyltaurates,
lignin sulfonates,
naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates, polycarboxylates, and
polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block copolymers. Solid diluents include, for
example,
clays such as bentonite, montmorillonite, attapulgite and kaolin, starch,
sugar, silica, talc,
1 S diatomaceous earth, urea, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate and
bicarbonate, and sodium
sulfate. Liquid diluents include, for example, water, N,N dimethylformamide,
dimethyl
sulfoxide, N alkylpyrrolidone, ethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol,
paraffins,
alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, oils of olive, castor, linseed, tong,
sesame, corn, peanut,
cotton-seed, soybean, rape-seed and coconut, fatty acid esters, ketones such
as
cyclohexanone, 2-heptanone, isophorone and 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, and
alcohols
such as methanol, cyclohexanol, decanol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol.
Solutions, including emulsifiable concentrates, can be prepared by simply
mixing the
ingredients. Dusts and powders can be prepared by blending and, usually,
grinding as in a
hammer mill or fluid-energy mill. Suspensions are usually prepared by wet-
milling; see, for
example, U.S. 3,060,084. Granules and pellets can be prepared by spraying the
active
material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See

30 Test results indicate that the compounds of the present invention are
highly active
preemergent and postemergent herbicides or plant growth regulants. Many of
them have
utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or postemergence weed control in areas
where complete
control of all vegetation is desired such as around fuel storage tanks,
industrial storage areas,
parking lots, drive-in theaters, air fields, river banks, irrigation and other
waterways, around
35 billboards and highway and railroad structures. Some of the compounds are
useful for the
control of selected grass and broadleaf weeds with tolerance to important
agronomic crops
which include but are not limited to alfalfa, barley, cotton, wheat, rape,
sugar beets, corn
(maize), sorghum, soybeans, rice, oats, peanuts, vegetables, tomato, potato,
perennial

plantation crops including coffee, cocoa, oil palm, rubber, sugarcane, citrus,
grapes, fruit
trees, nut trees, banana, plantain, pineapple, hops, tea and forests such as
eucalyptus and
conifers (e.c., loblolly pine), and turf species (e.g., Kentucky bluegrass,
St. Augustine grass,
Kentucky fescue and Bermuda grass). Those skilled in the art will appreciate
that not all
compounds are equally effective against all weeds. Alternatively, the subject
compounds are
useful to modify plant growth.
A herbicidally effective amount of the compounds of this invention is
determined by a
number of factors. These factors include: formulation selected, method of
application,
amount and type of vegetation present, growing conditions, etc. In general, a
herbicidally
effective amount of compounds of this invention is 0.00l to 20 kg/ha with a
preferred range
of 0.004 to I .0 kglha. One skilled in the art can easily determine the
herbicidally effective
amount necessary for the desired level of weed control.
Compounds of this invention can be used alone or in combination with other
commercial herbicides, insecticides or fungicides. Compounds of this invention
can also be
1 S used in combination with commercial herbicide safeners such as benoxacor,
dichlormid and
furilazole to increase safety to certain crops. A mixture of one or more of
the following

TEST B
The compounds evaluated in this test were formulated in a non-phytotoxic
solvent
mixture which included a surfactant and applied to the soil surface before
plant seedlings
emerged (preemergence application), to water that covered the soil surface
(flood
application), and to plants that were in the 1- to 4-leaf stage (postemergence
application). A
sandy loam soil was used for the preemergence and postemergence tests, while a
silt loam
soil was used in the flood test. Water depth was approximately 2.5 cm for the
flood test and
was maintained at this level for the duration of the test.
Plant species in the preemergence and postemergence tests consisted of
barnyardgrass
(Echinochloa crus-galli), barley (Hordeum vulgare), bedstraw (Galium aparine),
blackgrass
(Alopecurus myosuroides), chickweed (Stellaria media), cocklebur (Xanthium
strumarium),
corn (Zea mays cv. Pioneer 3394), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), crabgrass
(Digitaria
sanguinalis), downy brome (Bromus tectorum), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii),
johnsongrass
(Sorghum halpense), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), morningglory (Ipomoea
hederacea), pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), rape (Brassica napus), ryegrass
(Lolium
multiflorum), soybean (Glycine max), speedwell ( heronica persica), sugar beet
(Beta
vulgaris), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), wheat (Triticum aestivum), wild
buckwheat
{Polygonum convolvulus), and wild oat (Avena fatua).
Plant species in the flood test consisted of rice (Oryza saliva), umbrella
sedge (Cyperus
difformis), duck salad (Heteranthera limosa), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-
galli,
designated as 'barnyardgrassl') and late watergrass (Echinochloa oryzicola)
grown to the 2-
leaf stage for testing.
A11 plant species were planted one day before application of the formulated
compound
for the preemergence portion of this test. Plantings of these species were
adjusted to produce
plants of appropriate size for the postemergence portion of the test. All
plant species were
grown using normal greenhouse practices. Visual evaluations of injury
expressed on treated
plants, when compared to untreated controls, were recorded approximately
fourteen to

CA 02270245 1999-04-28
WO 98/28291 PCT/L1S97/23469
69
twenty-one days after application of the test compound. Plant response
ratings, summarized
in Table B, were recorded on a 0 to 100 scale where 0 is no effect and 100 is
complete
control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

TEST F
Plastic pots were partially filled with silt loam soil. The soil was then
saturated with
water. Indica Rice (Oryza sativa) seed (designated rice, indica 1 ) and
seedlings (designated
S rice, indica 3 ) at the 2 leaf stage, seeds, tubers or plant parts selected
from barnyardgrass
(Echinochloa crus-galli), ducksalad (Heteranthera limosa), early watergrass
(Echinochloa
oryzoides), junglerice (Echinochloa colonum), late watergrass (Echinochloa
oryzicola),
redstem (Ammania species), rice flatsedge (Cyperus iria), smallflower
flatsedge (Cyperus
difformis) and tighthead sprangletop (Leptochloa fasicularis), were planted
into this soil.
Plantings and waterings of these crops and weed species were adjusted to
produce plants of
appropriate size for the test. At the 2-leaf stage, water levels were raised
to 3 cm above the
soil surface and maintained at this level throughout the test. Chemical
treatments were
formulated in a non-phytotoxic solvent mixture which included a surfactant and
applied
directly to the paddy water by pipette, or to the plant foliage by an air
pressure-assisted,
calibrated belt-conveyer spray system.
Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately
21
days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually
evaluated. Plant
