Substituted 1,2,3-Triazol-3-ones.
The present divisional application is divided out
of parent application Serial No. 2,189,698, which was itself
divided out of application Serial No. 2,027,206, filed on
October 10, 1990.
The invention of the parent application relates to
new sulphonylaminocarbonyl-triazolinones of the formula I,
to several processes for their preparation, and to their use
as herbicides.
The invention of divisional application Serial No.
2,189,698 relates to novel intermediates of formula IIa and
processes for preparing the intermediates. Compounds of the
formula IIa are useful in the preparation of compounds of
formula I.
The invention of the present divisional
application relates to novel intermediates of formula IIa
which are structurally different than those of application
Serial No. 2,189,698. The intermediates of the present
divisional application are useful in the preparation of
compounds of formula I, illustrated below.
It is known that certain substituted amino-
carbonylimadazolinones, such as, for example, 1-isobutyl-
aminocarbonyl-2-imidazolidinone (isocarbamide), have
herbicidal properties (cf. R. Wegler, Chemie der
Pflanzenschutz-and Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel [Chemistry of
Plant Protection Agents and Pesticides], Vol. 5, p. 219,
Springer-Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg-New York, 1977).
However, the action of this compound is not satisfactory in
all respects. The new sulphonylaminocarbonyl-triazolinones

R2 represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, mercapto or amino, or

series comprising alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl,
aralkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkylamino and dialkylamino, and
R3 represents an optionally substituted radical from the
series comprising alkyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl,
as well as salts of compounds of the formula (I),

appropriate, salts are formed by customary methods from
ZO the compounds of the formula (T) prepared by process
(a), (b) or (c).
The new sulphonylaminocarbonyl-tria2olinones of the
general formula (I) and their salts are distinguished by a
powerful herbicidal activity. Surprisingly, the new
compounds of the formula (I) show a considerably better
herbicidal action than the known herbicide 1-isobutyl-
aminocarbonyl-2-imidazolidinone (isocarbamide), which has a
similar structure.

To convert tlne compounds of the formula ( :I ) into
salts, they are stirred with suitable salt formers, such as,
for example, sodium hydroxide, sodium methylate, sodium
ethylate, potassium hydroxide, potassium methylate or
potassium ethylate, ammonia, isopropylamine, dibutylamine or
triethylamine, using suitable diluents, such as, for example,
water, methanol or ethanol. The salts can be isolated as
crystalline products - then if appropriate after
concentrating the mixture.
The active compounds can be used as defoliants,
desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and,
especially, as weed-killers. By weeds, in the broadest
sense; there are to be understood all plants which grow in
locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances
act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on
the amount used.
The active compounds can be used, for example; in
connection. with the following plants:
Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis,
Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria,. Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga,
Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca,
Xanthium, Convolvulus, Tpornoea, Polygonum, Sesbania,
Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus; Solanum, Rorippa,
Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, );mex, Datura,
Viola, Galeopsis; Papaver, Centaurea, Trifolium, Ranunculus
and Taraxacum.
Dicotyledon cultures of the genera~ Gossypium,
Glycine, Heta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pj.sum, Solanum, Linum,

Monocot~edon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea,
Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum,
Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.
However,-the use of-the active compounds is in no
way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same
manner to other plants.
The compounds are suitable, depending on the
concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example
on industrial terrain and rail tracks,~and on paths and
squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the
compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial
cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree
plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards,
banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations,
rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations,
soft fruit plantings and hopfields,. in lawns, turf, meadows
and pastures, and for the selective cornbating of weeds in
annual cultures.
The compounds of the formula (I) are suitable for
combating monocotyledon and dicotyledon weeds both 'in the
- 50 -

CA 02420329 2003-03-13
pre-emergence and the post-emergence method. They are
- markedly more effective than, for example, isocarbamide.
To a certain extent, the compounds also Shaw a
fungicidal action, far example against powdery mildews and
against apple scab, and also against Pyricularia oryzae on
rice.
The active campounds ca.n be converted into the
customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions,
wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents,
pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion
concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated
with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric
substances.
These formulations are produced in a known manner,
for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders,
that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally
with the use of surface-act ive agents, that is emulsifying
agents and/or dispersing agents and/or forming agents.
In the case of the use of water. as an extender,
organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary
solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the
main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene, or
alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated
aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes,
chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic
hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example
petroleum fractions; mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols,
such as

sulphates, arylsulphonates as Well as albumen hydrolysis
products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for
example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and

natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders,
granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl
alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural
phospholipids, such as cephalir~s and lecithins, and

A mixture of 68.5 g (0.60 mol) of 5-methyl-1,3,4-
oxadiazolin-2-one, 45.8 g (0.75 mol) of 0-ethyl-hydroxyl-
amine and 400 ml of water is refluxed for 12 hours and
then concentrated. The residue is taken up in ethanol and
reconcentrated. The residue which is obtained in this
process is stirred with diethyl ether, and the product
which has been obtained in crystalline form is isolated
by filtration with suction.
This gives 77.5 g (74 ~ of theory) of 1-ethoxy-
aminocarbonyl-2-propionyl-hydrazine of melting point

A mixture of 75.5 g (0.43 mol) of 1-ethoxyamino-
carbonyl-2-propionyl-hydrazine, 17.5 g (0.44 mol) of
sodium hydroxide and 300 ml of water is refluxed for 12
hours. When the mixture is cold, a ph of between 3 and 4
is established by adding concentrated hydrochloric acid,
and the mixture is concentrated. The residue is stirred
with ethyl acetate, and the sodium chlaride which has
remained undissolved is separated off by filtration with
suction. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue is
stirred with diethyl ether, and the product which has
been obtained in crystalline form is isolated by filtra-
tion with suction.
This gives 37 g (55 ~ of theory) of 4-ethoxy-5

856 g ( 4 . 0 mol ) of Biphenyl carbonate are dis-
solved in 588 g of ethylene chloride. 295 g (9.0 mol)~of
dimethylhydrazine (98 $ pure) are added dropwise with
15, water-cooling, and the mixture is heated slowly and,
for 4 hours, stirred at 60°C.
After the mixture has cooled to 20°C, 200 g
(4.0 mol) of hydrazine hydrate are added dropwise, and
the mixture is then stirred for 12 hours. It is warmed to
70-80°C and, for about 1 hour, stirring is continued.
When cold, the solution is distilled in vacuo, during
which process ethylene chloride aid water are removed
(final bottom temperature 100°C). The above phenolic

~ dimethyl carbodihydrazide solution is added dropwise in
the course of 90 minutes at reflux temperature (about
102°C) to g24 g (4.0 mol) of trimethyl orthoformate.
After the methanol which has farmed is removed by distil-
s lation, phenol is distilled off in vacua, after which
282 g of product mixture are obtained at a head temper-
ature of 85-105°C. This mixture is boiled with 600 ml of
acetone, and filtered at boiling point, and the filtrate
is then cooled. The product which has been obtained in
this process in crystalline form is isolated by filtra-
tion with suction.
This gives 71 g (14 % of theory) of 4-dimethyl-
amino-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of melting point
127°C.

~CH3
50.2 g (0.33 mol) of hydrazino-formic acid phenyl ester
(= 1-phenoxycarbonyl-hydrazine) and 36.6 g (0.33 mol;
90 ~ purity) of O,O,N-trimethyl-iminocarbonate are mixed
at 40 °C With 100 ml of 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and this
mixture is then stirred for two hours at 60 °C. There-
after the mixture is heated further up to 120 °C,
while methanol (formed during the reaction) is being
distilled off. Then the reaction mixture is cooled and
heated again in vacuo (0.01 mbar) to Ia temperature of
120 °C in order to remove any remaining volatile com-
pounds (methanol, phenol and 1,2-dichlorobenzene) from .
the reaction mixture. At a temperature above 120 °C the
reaction product is distilled roughly and then crystal-
lized from toluene.
This gives 7.5 g (18 ~ of theory) of 5-methoxy-4-methyl-
2,4-dihydro-3l~-1,2,4-triazol-one as colorless crystals

6.4 g (0.05 mol) of 5-ethyl-4-methyl-2,4-dihydro-
3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one are dissolved in BO m1 of tetra-
s hydrofuran, and 1.8 g (0.06 mol) of sodium hydride (80 $
of substance) are added under nitrogen. After the mixture
has been stirred for one hour at 20°C, 7.9 g (0.05 mol)
of phenyl chloroformate are added dropwise, and the
reaction mixture is stirred at 20°C for a further 20
hours. After the mixture has been concentrated, the
residue is taken up in methylene chloride, and the
mixture is washed with water, dried with sodium sulphate
and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated, the residue
is triturated with diethyl ethers and the product which
has been obtained in crystalline form is isolated by
filtration with suction.
This gives 4.5 g (36 $ of theory) of 5-ethyl-4-
methyl-2-phenoxycarbonyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-
one of melting point 141°C.
For example the compounds of the formula (IV)
listed in Table 6 below can also be prepared analogously

Example A
Pre-emergence test
Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier; 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol
ether
To prepare a suitable preparation of active
compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed
with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of
emulsifier is added, and the concentrate is diluted with
water to the desired concentration.
Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil
and, after 24 hours, watered with the~preparation of
active compound, It is expedient here to keep constant
the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of
active compound in the preparation is of no importance,
only the amount of active compound applied per unit area
being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage
of the plants is rated in % damage in comparison with the
development of the untreated control. The figures denotes
0 % = no action (like untreated control)
100 % = total destruction
In. this test a clearly superior activity com
pared with the prior art is shown, for example, by the
compounds of Preparation Examples 2, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16,
17, 1B, 19, 20, 26, 2?, 28, 29, 34, 3?, 39 and 40.

To prepare a suitable preparation of active
compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed
with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of
emulsifier is added, and the concentrate is diluted with
water to the desired concentration.
Test plants having a height of 5 - 15 cm are
sprayed with the preparation of active compound in such
a way that the specifically desired amounts of active
compound per unit area are applied. The concentration of
the spray liquor is chosen in such a way that the speci
fically desired amounts of active substance are applied
in 1000 1 of water/ha. After three weeks, the.degree of
damage of the plants is rated in % damage in comparison
with the development of the untreated control. The
figures denote:
0 % = no action (like untreated control)
100 % = total destruction
In this test a clearly superior activity com-
pared with the prior art is shown, for example, by the
compounds of Preparation Examples 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12,

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound,
1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the
stated amount of solvent, and~the concentrate is diluted
with water and the stated amount of emulsifier to the
desired concentration.
To test for protective activity, young rice plants are
sprayed with the preparation of active compound until
dripping wet. After the spray coating has dried off, the
plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of
Pyricularia orycae. The plants arc then placed in
a greenhouse at 100 ~ relative atmospheric humidity and
25°C.
Evaluation of the disease infestation is carried out 4 days
after the inoculation.
