C1-C4-alkyl groups or one or two (C1-C4-alkoxy)carbonyl
groups;
and to the agriculturally useful salts of the compounds I.
Moreover, the invention relates to
_ the use of the compounds I as herbicides,
- herbicidal compositions which comprise the compounds I as
active substances,
processes for the preparation of the compounds I and of
herbicidal compositions using the compounds I,
- methods of controlling undesirable vegetation with the
compounds I, and
- intermediates of the formulae III, IV and V for the preparation
of the compounds I.
WO 97/08170 describes certain 3-(benzox/benzothiazol-7-yl)-6-
(trifluoromethyl)uracils as herbicides. Other
3-(benzothiazol-7-yl)uracils and their use as herbicides and for
the desiccation/defoliation of plants are taught in WO 97/08171.
gubject-matter of WO 97/12886 are, inter alia, certain
3-benzisoxazol-7-yl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimidinediones, which are said
to have a herbicidal and desiccant action.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel
herbicidally active uracil compounds which allow better targeted
control of undesirable plants than was possible with the known
compounds.
We have found that this object is achieved by the present
3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivatives of the formula I.

There have furthermore been found herbicidal compositions which
comprise the compounds I and which have a very good herbicidal
action. Moreover, there have been found processes for the
preparation of these compositions and methods of controlling
undesirable vegetation with the compounds I.
Depending on the substitution pattern, the compounds of the
formula I can have one or more chiral centers, in which case they
exist as enantiomer or diastereomer mixtures. In the case of
compounds I having at least one olefinic radical, E/Z isomers may
also be possible. The present invention relates to the pure
enantiomers or diastereomers and also to mixtures of these.
The formula I only represents one of the possible versions for
some compounds according to the invention. Thus, for example,
those compounds I where R7 = hydroxyl may also be written as
tautomers I' [ -N=C ( OH ) -<---~-NH-CO- ]

Suitable amongst agriculturally useful salts are mainly the salts
of those cations or the acid addition salts of those acids whose
cations, or anions, respectively, do not adversely affect the
herbicidal action of the compounds I. Thus, suitable cations are,
in particular, the ions of the alkali metals, preferably sodium
and potassium, of the alkaline earth metals, preferably calcium,
magnesium and barium, and of the transition metals, preferably
manganese, copper, zinc and iron, and also the ammonium ion
which, if desired, can have attached to it one to four C1-C4-alkyl
substituents and/or a phenyl or benzyl substituent, preferably
diisopropylammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium,
trimethylbenzylammonium, furthermore phosphonium ions, sulfonium
ions, preferably tri(C1-CQ-alkyl)sulfonium, and sulfoxonium ions,
preferably tri(C1-CQ-alkyl)sulfoxonium.
Anions of useful acid addition salts are, mainly, chloride,
bromide, fluoride, hydrogen sulfate, sulfate, dihydrogen
phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, phosphate, nitrate, hydrogen
carbonate, carbonate, hexafluorosilicate, hexafluorophosphate

The 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivatives of the formula I
can be obtained in various ways, for example by one of the
25 following processes:
Process A~:
Reaction of a 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative I where
R1 is hydrogen with a compound II in a manner known per se:
H O R4 R1 O R4
\N~ L1-alkyl or \N-
3 5 R2 \ N / \ RS + R2 N ~ ~ R5
L1-haloalkyl
R3 X N - Y R3 X N - Y
I (Rl = H) II I (Rl ~ H, NHZ)
L1 is a customary leaving group such as halogen, preferably
chlorine, bromine or iodine, (halo)alkylsulfonyloxy,
preferably methylsulfonyloxy or trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy,
arylsulfonyloxy, preferably toluenesulfonyloxy, and
alkoxysulfonyloxy, preferably methoxysulfonyloxy or
ethoxysulfonyloxy.


CA 02312703 2000-06-OS
0050/48647
41
The process is normally carried out in an inert organic
solvent, for example in a protic solvent such as the lower
alcohols, preferably in methanol or ethanol, if desired as a
mixture with water, or in an aprotic solvent, for example in
an aliphatic or cyclic ether such as methyl tert-butyl ether,
1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, in an
aliphatic ketone such as acetone, diethyl ketone and ethyl
methyl ketone, in an amide such as dimethylformamide and
N-methylpyrrolidone, in a sulfoxide such as dimethyl
sulfoxide, in a urea such as tetramethylurea and
1,3-dimethyltetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone, in a carboxylic
acid ester such as ethyl acetate, or in a halogenated
aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane,
dichloroethane, chlorobenzene and the dichlorobenzenes.
If desired, the process can be carried out in the presence of
a base, suitable bases being inorganic bases, eg, carbonates
such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, hydrogen
carbonates such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium
hydrogen carbonate or alkali metal hydrides such as sodium
hydride and potassium hydride, and also organic bases, eg.
amines such as triethylamine, pyridine and
N,N-diethylaniline, or alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium
methoxide, sodium ethoxide and potassium tert-butoxide.
The amount of base and alkylating agent II is preferably in
each case 0.5 times to twice the molar amount, based on the
amount of starting compound I (where R1 = hydrogen).
In general, the reaction temperature is from 0°C to the
boiling point of the reaction mixture, in particular from 0
to 60~C.
A preferred process variant consists in alkylating the salt
of I, which has been obtained by cyclizing IV where R1 = H or
V where R1 = H in accordance with process D) without
isolating it from the reaction mixture, which may still
contain excess base, eg. sodium hydride, sodium alkoxide or
sodium carbonate.
Unless the salts of those compounds I where R1 is hydrogen
cannot be prepared directly by the cyclization under basic
conditions, which has been described as method D), they can
also be obtained in a manner known per se from the process
products of methods C) to F). To this end, for example, the
aqueous solution of an inorganic or organic base is treated

with the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative I where
Ri is hydrogen. Here, salt formation is normally sufficiently
rapid at as little as 20 to 25~C.
It is especially advantageous to prepare the sodium salt by
dissolving the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative I
where Ri = hydrogen in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution
at 20 to 25~C, approximately equivalent amounts of
3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative I (Where Ri = H)
and sodium hydroxide being employed. The corresponding salt
of the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative I can then
be isolated for example by precipitation with a suitable
inert solvent or by evaporating the solvent.
Salts of the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivatives I
whose metal ion is other than an alkali metal ion can usually
be prepared by double decomposition of the corresponding
alkali metal salt in aqueous solution, and ammonium,
Phosphonium, sulfonium and sulfoxonium salts by means of
ammonia or phosphonium, sulfonium or sulfoxonium hydroxides.
Process B~
Reaction of a 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivative of the
formula I where Ri is hydrogen with an electrophilic aminating
reagent in the presence of a base:

N ~ R N
\ base \
R3 X N - Y R3 X N - Y

An aminating reagent which has proved itself especially to
date is 2,4-dinitrophenoxyamine, but it is also possible to
use, for example, hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA), which
is already known from the literature as an aminating reagent
(cf., for example, E. Hofer et al., Synthesis 1983, 466; W.
Friedrichsen et al., Heterocycles 20 (1983) 1271; H. Hart et
al., Tetrahedron Lett. 25 (1984) 2073; B. Vercek et al.,

Naturforsch. 38 (1983) 884; R.S. Atkinson et al., J. Chem.
Soc. Perkin Trans. 1987, 2787).


CA 02312703 2000-06-OS

The amination can be carried out in a manner known per se
(see, for example, T. Sheradsky, Tetrahedron Lett. 1968,
1909; M.P. Wentland et al., J. Med. Chem. 27 (1984) 1103 and
in particular EP-A 240 194, EP-A 476 697 and EP-A 517 181,
which teach the amination of uracils).
The reaction is normally carried out in a polar solvent, for
example in dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl
sulfoxide or in ethyl acetate, which has proved to be
especially suitable to date.
Suitable bases are, for example, alkali metal carbonates such
as potassium carbonate, alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium
methoxide and potassium tert-butoxide or alkali metal
hydrides such as sodium hydride.
The amount of base and aminating agent is preferably in each
case 0.5 times to twice the molar amount, based on the amount
of starting compound.

As a rule, sulfurization is effected in an inert solvent or
diluent, for example in an aromatic hydrocarbon such as
toluene and the xylenes, in an ether such as diethyl ether,
1,2-dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran, or in an organic
amine such as pyridine.
Especially suitable sulfurization reagents are phosphorus(V)
sulfide and 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-
dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-dithione ("Lawesson reagent").


CA 02312703 2000-06-OS
0050/48647
44
Normally, once to five times the molar amount, based on the
starting compound to be sulfurized, will suffice for an
essentially complete reaction.
The reaction temperature is normally from 20 to 200~C,
preferably 40~C to the boiling point of the reaction mixture.

cyclic ether such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and
dioxane, in an aromatic such as benzene or toluene, or in a
Polar solvent such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl
sulfoxide. Mixtures of polar solvent and a hydrocarbon such
as n-hexane are also suitable. Depending on the starting
compound, water may also be suitable as diluent.
Suitable bases are, preferably, alkali metal alkoxides, in
particular the sodium alkoxides, alkali metal hydroxides, in
particular sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali

~

metal carbonates, in particular sodium carbonate and
potassium carbonate, and metal hydrides, in particular sodium
hydride. When using sodium hydride as the base, it has proved
advantageous to carry out the process in an aliphatic or
5 cyclic ether, in dimethylformamide or in dimethyl sulfoxide.
Normally, 0.5 times to twice the molar amount of base, based
on the amount of IV or V, will suffice for successfully
carrying out the reaction.
In general, the reaction temperature is from (-78)~C to the
boiling point of the reaction mixture in question, in
particular (-60) to 60~C.
If Ri in formula III or IV is hydrogen, the process product
is obtained as a metal salt, the metal corresponding to the
cation of the base used. The salt can be isolated and
purified in a manner known per se or, if desired, converted
by means of acid to give the free compound I where Ri =
hydrogen.

409-415).
The reaction is preferably carried out in acidic aqueous
media, but lower carboxylic acids such as acetic acid are
also suitable diluents. Suitable acidic aqueous solvents are,
in particular, dilute mineral acids, for example 10~ strength
hydrochloric acid.

~

The nitrous acid is preferably prepared in situ by adding an
alkali metal nitrite - in substance or in aqueous solution -
to the reaction mixture, which is composed of the
diaminobenzene in acidic aqueous solution or in a carboxylic
acid.
A suitable reaction temperature is, in particular, 0 to 20~C,
very especially approximately 5~C.
The starting materials are expediently employed in
approximately stoichiometric amounts, or the process is
carried out with an excess of the theoretically expected
amount of nitrous acid, which is not more than 10 mold.

Preferred carbonic acid derivatives or carboxylic acid
derivatives are the corresponding anhydrides, acid chlorides,
ortho esters, diimides, nitriles, trichloromethyl-substituted
compounds, isocyanates and their thio analogs.
Suitable solvents/diluents are, in particular, organic
solvents, for example aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene,
toluene and o-, m-, p-xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons such
as methylene chloride, chloroform and dichloroethane, lower
alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, aliphatic or cyclic
ethers such as dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane,
carboxylic esters such as ethyl acetate or aprotic polar
solvents such as dimethylformamide and ~dimethyl sulfoxide.

catalytic amounts of an acid. Suitable acids are, in
Particular, mineral acids such as hydrochloric acids [sic] or
sulfonic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid. The amounts of
acid are preferably 0.1 to 5 mol percent, based on the amount
of V.
The reaction temperatures are preferably from 20~C to reflux
temperature of the reaction mixture in question, in
particular 60~C to reflux temperature.
The carbonic acid derivative or carboxylic acid derivative is
employed either in an approximately stoichiometric amount or
in an excess. In suitable cases, a very large excess may also
be employed, or else the process can be carried out in the
absence of a solvent. Approximately stoichiometric amounts or
an excess of up to 10 mole equivalents, based on the amount
of V, are preferred.
The substituted 2-aminophenols, -thiophenols and -anilines
(V) are expediently obtained by reducing the corresponding
2-nitrophenols, -thiophenols or -anilines VIII (cf., for
example Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods

Suitable reducing agents are, in particular,
- elemental metals such as iron, tin and zinc,
- hydrogen in the presence of suitable catalysts such as
palladium or platinum on charcoal or Raney nickel, or
- complex hydrides such as LiAlH4 and NaBH4, in the
presence or absence of catalysts.
Depending on the reducing agent, suitable solvents are
normally carboxylic acids such as acetic acid or propionic
acid, alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, ethers such as
diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and
dioxane, aromatics such as benzene and toluene, and mixtures
of these.
The reactions can be carried out at from (-100)~C to the
boiling point of the reaction mixture in question.
The starting compounds are normally employed in approximately
stoichiometric amounts; however, in individual cases an
excess of one or the other component of up to approximately
10 mold may also be advantageous.

Protection = customary protective group which protects the
phenols, or thiophenols, as ethers or the amino group as an
amide.
The protective groups can be eliminated by processes known
per se (cf., for example, Greene/Wuts: Protective Groups in
Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2nd Edition 1991,
p. 145 et seq. and p. 279 et seq.).
Suitable elimination reagents are, in particular:
- for alkylphenols: trimethylsilyl iodide, boron
tribromide, boron trichloride, aluminum trichloride,
lithium chloride or hydrogen bromide;
- for unsubstituted or substituted benzylphenols or
-thiophenols: boron trifluoride, hydrofluoric acid or
hydrogen/catalyst, preferably noble metal catalysts such
as palladium or platinum.
The solvent/diluent is preferably chosen in such a way that
it is inert to the elimination reagent in question. When
using the halides trimethylsilyl iodide, boron tribromide,
boron trichloride or aluminum trichloride, halogenated
solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon
tetrachloride and dichloroethane are especially preferred.
Hydrogen bromide is preferably used in aqueous solution, very
especially preferably as a 48~ strength solution; lithium
chloride is preferably employed in polar solvents such as
lower alcohols, dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide;
hydrogenolytic methods are preferably carried out in lower
alcohols or carboxylic acids, without or with the addition of
a hydrogen transfer agent such as cyclohexene and
cyclohexadiene.
The temperature for the elimination reaction is preferably
from O~C to the boiling point of the reaction mixture in
question.
The elimination reagent is preferably employed in
approximately stoichiomeric amounts or in an excess. The
excess is especially preferably between one and ten mole
equivalents, based on the amount of IX.
Finally, the protected nitro compounds IX can be obtained in a
manner known per se by nitrating (protected) phenols, thiophenols
or anilines X (cf., for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der

15 suitable nitration reagents are, in particular, nitric acid,
as a mixture with sulfuric acid or acetic anhydride, or
nitronium salts, specifically nitronium tetrafluoroborate.
The mixture composed of nitric acid and sulfuric acid can be
composed of any desired weight ratios of the two components;
20 Preferred are those mixtures where the sulfuric acid
predominates greatly or acts as the solvent. Similarly, this
is also true for the mixture of nitric acid and acetic
anhydride.
Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is preferably employed in aprotic
25 Polar solvents, eg. in acetonitrile or nitromethane.
The reaction temperature is generally from (-80) to 80~C, in
particular (-20)~C to 30~C.
30 When using the reagent nitric acid in the nitration
reactions, the process is preferably carried out with an
approximately equimolar amount or especially preferably with
an excess of nitration reagent. The excess can be many times
the amount of X. Nitronium tetrafluoroborate is preferably
35 employed in equimolar amounts relative to the substrate, or
in a small excess of between 1.1 and 1.5 mole equivalents.

chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene,
aliphatic and cyclic ethers such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane,
tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, or cyclohexane, but also

As regards the weight ratio of the starting compounds, what
has been said for method G) also applies here.
In an especially preferred embodiment, a sodium alkoxide is
used as the base, and the alcohol which is formed in the
course of the reaction is distilled off continuously. The
resulting enaminoesters IV can be cyclized in accordance with
process D), without being isolated from the reaction mixture,

The compounds XXVIII and XXI can also contain one or more chiral

or diastereomer mixtures. If desired, the mixtures can be
resolved into the essentially pure isomers by the methods
conventionally used for this purpose, for example by means of
crystallization or chromatography on an optically active
adsorbate. Pure optically active isomers can also be prepared,
for example, from corresponding optically active starting

Unless otherwise specified, all the processes described above are
expediently carried out under atmospheric pressure or under the
inherent pressure of the reaction mixture in question.
In general, the reactants are employed in a molar ratio of 0.95:1

As a rule, the reaction mixtures are worked up by methods known

and subsequently isolating the product by means of filtration,
crystallization or solvent extraction, or
by removing the solvent, partitioning the residue in a mixture of
water and a suitable organic solvent and working up the organic
phase to give the product.
The compounds I and their agriculturally useful salts are
suitable as herbicides, both in the form of isomer mixtures and
in the form of the pure isomers. The herbicidal compositions
which comprise I effect very good control of vegetation on
non-crop areas, especially at high rates of application. In crops
such as wheat, rice, maize, Soya and cotton, they act against
broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds without inflicting substantial

damage to the crop plants. This effect is observed mainly at low
rates of application.
Depending on the application method in question, the compounds I,
or herbicidal compositions comprising them, can also be employed
in a further number of crop plants for eliminating undesirable
plants. Examples of suitable crops are the following:

In addition, the compounds I can also be used in crops which, by
means of breeding, including genetic engineering methods, have
been made tolerant to the action of herbicides.
The compounds I, or the herbicidal compositions comprising them,
can be used, for example, in the form of directly sprayable
aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, also highly concentrated
aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil
dispersions, pastes, dusts, materials for spreading or granules,
by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading or pouring.
The use forms depend on the intended purposes; in any case, they
should guarantee the finest possible distribution of the active
ingredients according to the invention.
Suitable inert auxiliaries are essentially: mineral oil fractions
of medium to high boiling point such as kerosine and diesel oil,
furthermore coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin,

derivatives, alkylated benzenes and their derivatives, alcohols
such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and cyclohexanol,
ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, eg.
amines such as N-methylpyrrolidone, and water.
Aqueous use forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates,
suspensions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible
granules by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil
dispersions, the substrates [sic], as such or dissolved in an oil
or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of wetter,
tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is
possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance,
wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate,
solvent or oil, and these concentrates are suitable for dilution
with water.

metal salts and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acid, eg,
ligno-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic
acid, and of fatty acids, of alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, of
alkyl sulfates, lauryl ether sulfates and fatty alcohol sulfates,

Powders, materials for spreading and dusts can be prepared by

homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active
ingredients to solid carriers. Solid carriers are mineral earths

The concentration of the active ingredients I in the ready-to-use
preparations can be varied within wide ranges. In general, the
formulations comprise approximately from 0.001 to 98% by weight,
preferably from 0.01 to 95% by weight, of at least one active
ingredient. The active ingredients are employed in a purity of
from 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (in accordance with NMR
spectra).
The formulation examples which follow illustrate the preparation
°f such products:
I. 20 parts by weight of Compound No. 1 are dissolved in a
mixture composed of 80 parts by weight of alkylated
benzene, 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 8 to 10 mol of
ethylene oxide to 1 mol of oleic acid N-monoethanolamide, 5
parts by weight of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and
5 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide
to 1 mol of castor oil. Pouring the solution into 100,000
parts by weight of water and finely distributing it therein
gives an aqueous dispersion which comprises 0.02% by weight
of the active ingredient.
II. 20 parts by weight of Compound No. 2 are dissolved in a
mixture composed 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 and 1 mol of
isooctylphenol and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of
mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil. Pouring
the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water and
35 finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous dispersion
which comprises 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
III. 20 parts by weight of Active Ingredient No. 4 are dissolved
in a mixture composed of 25 parts by weight of
40 cyclohexanone, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction
of boiling point 210 to 280~C and 10 parts by weight of the
adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide and 1 mol of castor oil.
Pouring the solution into 100,000 parts by weight of water
and finely distributing it therein gives an aqueous

thoroughly with 3 parts by weight of sodium
diisobutylnaphthalene-a-sulfonate, 17 parts by weight of
the sodium salt of a lignosulfonic acid from a sulfite
5 waste liquor and 60 parts by weight of pulverulent silica
gel, and the mixture is ground in a hammer mill. Finely
distributing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water
gives a spray mixture which comprises 0.1~ by weight of the
active ingredient.
V. 3 parts by weight of Active Ingredient No. 8 are mixed with
97 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin. This gives a
dust which comprises 3~ by weight of the active ingredient.

intimately with 2 parts by weight of calcium
dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 8 parts by weight of fatty alcohol
polyglycol ether, 2 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a
phenol/urea/formaldehyde condensate and 68 parts by weight
of a paraffinic mineral oil. This gives a stable oily
dispersion.
VII. 1 part by weight of Compound No. 14 is dissolved in a
mixture composed of 70 parts by weight of cyclohexanone,
20 parts by weight of ethoxylated isooctylphenol and 10
parts by weight of ethoxylated castor oil. The mixture can
subsequently be diluted with water to give the desired
concentration of active ingredient. This gives a stable
emulsion concentrate.
VIII. 1 part by weight of Compound No. 19 is dissolved in a
mixture composed of 80 parts by weight of cyclohexanone and
20 parts by weight of Wettol~ EM 31 (= nonionic emulsifier
based on ethoxylated castor oil; BASF AG). Then, the
mixture can be diluted with water to give the desired
concentration of active ingredient. This gives a stable
emulsion concentrate.
The active ingredients I, or the herbicidal compositions, may be
applied pre- or post-emergence. If the active ingredients are
less well tolerated by certain crop plants, application
techniques may be used in which the herbicidal compositions are
sprayed, with the aid of the spraying equipment, in such a way
that they come in as little contact as possible, if any, with the
leaves of the sensitive crop plants while reaching the leaves of


CA 02312703 2000-06-OS
0050/48647
66
undesirable plants which grow underneath, or the bare soil
surface (post-directed, lay-by).
Depending on the control target, the season, the target plants
and the growth stage, the rates of application of active
ingredient I are from 0.001 to 3.0, preferably 0.01 to 1.0, kg/ha
active substance (a.s.).
To widen the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic
effects, the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione derivatives I may
be mixed with a large number of representatives of other groups
of herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredients and applied
jointly. Suitable components for mixtures are, for example,
12,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, amides, aminophosphoric
acid and its derivatives, aminotriazoles, anilides,
aryloxy/heteroaryloxyalkanoic acids and their derivatives,
benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzothiadiazinones,
2-(hetaroyl/aroyl)-1,3-cyclohexanediones, heteroaryl aryl
ketones, benzylisoxazolidinones, meta-CF3-phenyl derivatives,
carbamates, quinolinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives,
chloroacetanilides, cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives, diazines,
dichloropropionic acid and its derivatives, dihydrobenzofurans,
dihydrofuran-3-ones, dinitroanilines, dinitrophenols, diphenyl
ethers, dipyridyls, halocarboxylic acids and their derivatives,
areas, 3-phenyluracils, imidazoles, imidazolinones, N-phenyl-
3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides, oxadiazoles, oxiranes, phenols,
aryloxy- and heteroaryloxyphenoxypropionic esters, phenylacetic
acid and its derivatives, 2-phenylpropionic acid and its
derivatives, pyrazoles, phenylpyrazoles, pyridazines,
pyridinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, pyrimidyl ethers,
sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, triazines, triazinones,
triazolinones, triazolecarboxamides and uracils.
Furthermore, it may be advantageous to apply the compounds I,
alone or in combination with other herbicides, also as a mixture
with other crop protection agents, for example with pesticides or
agents for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Also of
interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are
employed for remedying nutritional and trace-element
deficiencies. Nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be
added.

for 4 hours. After cooling, the mixture was taken up in
ice-water. It was then neutralized carefully with an aqueous
sodium carbonate solution. The solid crude product which had
formed was separated off, washed with water and dried in a vacuum
drying oven at 20~C. Yield: 7.92 g;
1H NMR (270 MHz, in CDC13): b [ppm] = 7.25 (dd,lH), 6.95 (dd,lH),
4.00 (s,3H), 2.55 (s,3H).

Step 7.2
7-Chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-fluoro-4-nitrobenzimidazole
5 98% strength nitric acid was added dropwise at from (-5) to not
more than O~C to 7.92 g of 7-chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-
fluorobenzimidazole in 139 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid,
during which process the course of the reaction was monitored by
means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an
10 RP-18 column (eluent: acetonitrile/water = 1:1). As soon as
starting material was no longer detectable, the reaction mixture
was poured into ice-water, whereupon the pH was brought to 14 by
means of sodium hydroxide solution. The solids were separated
off, washed with water and dried at 20~C in a vacuum drying oven.
15 The two regioisomeric nitro compounds which had formed were
separated by means of flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent:
.ethyl acetate; the product which eluted first was the desired
regioisomer). Yield: 5.6 g;
1H NMR (400 MHz, in CDC13): 8 [ppm] = 7.05 (d,lH), 4.10 (s,3H),
20 2~65 (s,3H).
Step 7.3
4-Amino-7-chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-fluorobenzimidazole
5.6 g of 7-chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-fluoro-4-nitrobenzimidazole were
reduced by means of tin dichloride/sodium boranate by a method
similar to what has been said for step 2.5. The crude product
obtained was employed directly, without purification, in step
~'4~ Yield: 4.1 g.
Step 7.4
7-Chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-fluoro-4-isocyanatobenzimidazole
4,1 g of 4-amino-7-chloro-1,2-dimethyl-5-fluorobenzimidazole were
reacted with diphosgene by a method similar to what has been said
for step 5.4. The crude product obtained was reacted directly,
again without purification, to give the end product I.7.

Use examples
The herbicidal action of the 3-(benzazol-4-yl)pyrimidinedione
derivatives I was demonstrated by the following greenhouse
experiments:
The culture containers used were plastic flowerpots containing,
as substrate, loamy sand with approx. 3.0% of humus. The seeds of
the test plants were sown in separately for each species.
In the case of the pre-emergence treatment, the active
ingredients which were suspended or emulsified in water were
applied directly after sowing by means of finely distributing
nozzles. The containers were irrigated gently to promote
germination and growth and subsequently covered with translucent
plastic hoods until the plants had rooted. This cover caused
uniform germination of the test plants, unless this was adversely
affected by the active ingredients.
For the post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first
grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on the plant habit, and
only then treated with the active ingredients which were
suspended or emulsified in water. The test plants for this
purpose were either sown directly and grown on in the same
containers, or they were raised separately as seedlings and
transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to
treatment. The rate of application for the post-emergence
treatment was 15.6 or 7.8 g/ha a.s. (active substance).
The plants were kept at 10 - 25~C or 20 - 35~C, depending on the
species. The test period extended over 2 to 4 weeks. During this
time, the plants were tended, and their response to the
individual treatments was evaluated.
Evaluation was done on a scale of from 0 to 100. 100 means no
plant emergence, or complete destruction of least the aerial
parts of the plant, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of
growth.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments belonged to the
following species:
