Advantageously, the acid acceptor ;s used ;n an
amount of from 80 to 120X based on the start;ng mater;al
5 II. Suitable catalysts for react;on B are the above ;n-
organic or tert;ary organic bases, but it is also possible
to use an alka~; metal or alkaline earth metal hydride,
such a lithium hydr;de, sod;um hydride or calcium hydride.
Advantageously, the catalyst ;s used ;n an amount of from
70 to 99.5Z, based on the start;ng materia~ IY.
The starting materials of the formula ~I and III
are used in about stoichiometric amounts, ie. the starting
material of the formula III is advantageously used in an
amount of from 90 to 110%, based on the starting mater;al
of the formula II.
The starting materials of the formulae IV and V
can be used in stoichiometric amounts, but ;~ ;s advan-
tageous to employ an excess of not more than 30%, based
on starting material of the formula IV, of the starting
mater;al of the formula V. However, it ;s also possible
to use the start;ng mater;al of the formula V directly as
the solvent.
Process A ;s advantageously carried out as fol-
lows: the acyl hal;de of the formula III and an equ;va-
lent amount of the ac;d acceptor are fed, via two feeds,;nto about an equivalent amount of the anthranilic acid
compound of the formula II ;n an inert organic solvent or
;n water, at from 0 to 80C. Stirr;ng ;s then con-
tinued for from 5 to 60 m;nutes at room temperature. To
isolate the N acylanthran;l;c acid der;vative, the m;~ture
is treated w;th water, w;th d;lute acid or, where the radi-
cal R3 is covalently bonded, w;th d;lute alkali to sepa-
rate off by-products, such as the unreacted anthranilic
acid compound, the acyl chlor;de or the hydrochlor;de of
the base, and can be dr;ed and then evaporated down. If
necessary, the end product may be further purified by
recrystallization or chromatography.

Process ~ ;s advantageously carr~ed out as fol-
~ows: the 4H-3,1-benzoxaz;n-4-one of the formula IV ;s
;ntroduced into a so~ution of not less than an equ;valent
amount of the start;ng material of the formula V in an ;n-
ert organic solvent, or directly into an excess of thestarting material cf the formula V, in the presence or ab-
sence of an ;norgan;c or tert;ary organ;c base as a cata-
~yst, at from 0 to 150C. Stirring ;s then cont;nued
for from 10 to 240 m;nutes at from Z5 to 190C. How-
ever, ;t ;s also poss;ble to ;ntroduce the starting mate-
r;al of the formula V ;nto a solut;on of the 4H-3,1-benz-
oxaz;n-4-one of the formula IY, 3nd to carry out the re-
act;on ;n She manner descr;bed above. To lsolate the
N-acy~anthran;l;c acid der;vat;ve, any excess starting
mater;al of the formula V can be removed under reduced
pressure, and the procedure described under process A
then followed.
The Examples which follow ;llustrate the prepara-
tion of same N-acylanthranilic acid derivatives of the
formula I.

for 30 m;nutes at 25C, after wh;ch it was st;rred ;nto
4000 parts of d;lute hydrochlor;c ac;d. The prec;pitate
wh;ch separated out was f;ltered off under suct;on, washed
w;th water and taken up ;n d;lute sod;um hydrox;de solu-
t;on, and the resulting solution was extracted three times
~ith ethyl acetate. The aqueous phasewas then stirred
into dilute hydrochloric acid, the precipitate wh;ch
separated out was filtered off under suction, ~ashed with
water and dried, and 560 parts (96X of theory) of N-ben-

was then continued for 3 hours at 185C. The excess
phenol ~asd;stilled off under reduced pressure, and the
res;due wh;ch rema;ned was first stirred w;th water and f;l-
tered off unter suct;on, and then st;rred with a 2:1 mix-
ture of petroleum ether and d;ethyl ether and once aga;n
f;ltered off under suction. The product was dried to give

The N-acylanthranilic acid derlvatives of the for-
mula I may be applied for instance in the form of directly
sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions (including high-
-percentage aqueous, oily or other suspensions), disper-
05 sions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broad-
casting agents, or granules by spraying, atomizing,
dusting, broadcasting or watering. m e forms of applica-
tion depend entirely on the purpose for which the agents
are being used, but they must ensure as fine a distribu-
tion of the actlve ingredients according to the inventionas possible.
For the preparation of solutions, emulsions, pastes
and oil dlspersions to be sprayed dlrect, mineral oil frac-
tions of medlum to high boiling point, such as kerosene or
diesel oil, ~urther coal-tar olls, and oils of vegetable
or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydro-
carbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, paraffin, tetra-
hydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes and their
derivatives such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol,
chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexanol, cyclo-
hexanone, chlorobenzene, isophorone, etc., and strongly
polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulf-
oxide5 N-methylpyrrolidone, water, etc. are suitable.
Aqueous formulations may be prepared from emulsion
concentrates, pastes, oil dispersions or wettable powders
by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes and oil dis-
persions the ingredients as such or dissolved in an oil or
solvent may be homogenized in water by means of wetting or
dispersing agents, adherents or emulsifiers. Concentrates
3~ which are sultable for dilution with water may be prepared
from active ingredient, wetting agent, adherent, emulsify-
ing or dispersing agent and possibly solvent or oil.
Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline
earth metal and ammonium salts of ligninsulfonic acid,
naphthalenesulfonic acids, phenolsulfonic acids, alkylaryl
sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates, alkali

~214~7g~

metal and alkallne earth metal salts of dibutylnaphthalene-
sulfonic acid, lauryl ether sulfate, fatty alcohol sul-
fates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of
fatty acids, salts of sulfated hexadecanols, hepta-
05 decanols, and octadecanols, salts of sulfated fatty alco-
hol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated
naphthalene and naphthalene derlvatives with formaldehyde,
condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesul-
fonlc acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene
octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, eth-
oxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkyl-
phenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol
ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotrldecyl alcohol,
~atty alcohol ethylene oxlde condensates, ethoxylated
castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated poly-
oxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal,
sorbitol esters, llgnln, sulflte waste liquors and methyl
cellulose.
Powders, dusts and broadcasting agents may be
prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with
a solid carrier.
Granules, e.g., coated, impregnated or homogeneous
granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingre-
dients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are
mlneral earths such as slllcic acld, slllca gels,
silicates, talc, kaolin, attapulgus clay, limestone, lime,
chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth,
calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide,
ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate,
ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and ureas, and vege-
table products such as grain flours, bark meal, wood meal,
and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders, etc.
The formulations contain from 0.1 to 95, and prefer-
ably 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient.
Examples of formulations are given below.

l2l~7~a
- 32 - O.Z. 0050/36410
I. 90 parts by weight of compound no. 1 is mixed
with lO parts by weight of N-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidone. A
mlxture is obtained which is suitable for application in
the form of very fine drops.
05 II. 20 parts by weight of compound no. 2 is
dissolved in a mixture consisting of 90 parts by weight of
xylene, 6 parts by weight of the adduct of 8 to 10 moles
of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of olelc acid-N-monoethanol-
amide, 2 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecyl-
benzenesulfonic acid, and 2 parts by weight of the adduct
of 40 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of castor oil.
III. 20 parts by weight of compound no. 5 is
dlssolved in a mixture consisting o~ 60 parts by weight of
cyclohexanone, 30 parts by weight of isobutanol, 5 parts
by welght of the adduct of 7 moles of ethylene oxide and
1 mole of isooctylphenol, and 5 parts by weight of the
adduct of 40 moles of ethylene oxlde and 1 r.~ole of castor
oil.
IV. 20 parts by weight of compound no. 21 is
dissolved in a mixture consisting of 25 parts by weight of
cyclohexanol, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction
having a boiling point between 210 and 280C, and
10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 moles of ethylene
oxide and 1 mole of castor oil. By pouring the solution
into 100,000 parts by weight of water and uniformly
distributing it therein, an aqueous dispersion is obtained
containing 0.02% by weight of the active ingredient.
V. 80 parts by weight of compound no. 5 is well
mixed with 3 parts by weight of the sodium salt of diiso-
butylnaphthalene-alpha-sulfonic acid, 10 parts by weight
of the sodium salt of a lignin-sulfonic acid obtained from
a sulfite waste liquor, and 7 parts by weight of powdered
silica gel, and triturated in a hammer mill.
VI. 5 parts by weight of compound no. 1 is
intimately mixed with 95 parts by weight of particulate
kaolin. A dust is obtained containing 5% by weight of the
active ingredient.

_ 33 - O.Z. 0050/36410
VII. 30 parts by weight of compound no. 21 is
intimately mixed with a mixture consisting of 92 parts by
weiæht of powdered sllica gel and 8 parts by weight of
paraffin oil which has been sprayed onto the surface of
05 this silica gel. A formulation of the active ingredient is
obtained having good adherence.
VIII. 20 parts of compound no. 1 is intimately mixed
with 2 parts of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic
acid, 8 parts of a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, 2 parts
of the sodlum salt of a phenolsulfonic acid-urea-form-
aldehyde condensate and 68 parts of a paraffinic mineral
oil. A stable oily dispersion is obtalned.
The actlve lngredlents, or agents contalning them,
may be applled pre- or postemergence. If certain crop
plants tolerate the active ingredients less well when they
are applied postemergence, application technlques may be
used in which the herblcidal agents are sprayed from
sultable equlpment ln such a manner that the leaves of
sensitive crop plants are lf possible not touched, and the
agents reach the soil or the unwanted plants growlng
beneath the crop plants (post-directed, lay-by treatment).
m e amount of active ingredient applled depends on
the time of the year, the plants to be combated and their
growth stage, the type of soil and the application method
-25 employed, and varies from 0.1 to 5 kg/ha and more, but is
preferably from 0.25 to 2.0 kg/ha.
The herbicidal action of the N-acylanthranilic acid
derivatives of the formula I is demonstrated in greenhouse
experiments.
The vessels employed were plastic flowerpots having a
volume of 300 cm3, and which were filled with a sandy loam
containing about 1.5% humus.
For the postemergence treatment, the plants were
first grown in the vessels to a height of from 3 to 15 cm,
depending on growth form, before being treated. The rice
plants were gro~n ln a peat-enriched substrate. For this

~Z~4~
- 34 - ~.Z. 0050/36410
treatment, elther plants which had been sown directly ln
the pots and grown there were selected, or plants which
had been grown from seedllngs and were transplanted to the
pots a ~ew days before treatment. The application rates
05 were ~rom 0.5 to 3.0 kg of active ingredient per hectare.
The pots were set up in the greenhouse - species from
warmer areas at from 20 to 35C, and species from
moderate cllmates at 10 to 20C. The experiments were run
for 2 to 4 weeks. During this period, the plants were
tended and their reactions to the varlous treatments
assessed. The scale used for assessment was O to 100, 0
denoting no damage or normal emergence, and 100 denoting
nonemergence or complete destruction of at least the
vlsible plant parts.
Ihe plants used in the experiments were Arachis
hypogaea, Centaurea cyanus, Chenopodium album, Chrysan-
themum segetum, Cyperus iria, Desmodium tortuosum, Hordeum
vulgare, Mercurialis annua, Nicandra physaloldes, Oryza
sativa, Sesbania exaltata, Urtica urens, Zea mays, Cyperus
esculentus, Avena fatua, and Galium aparlne.
The experiments show that for instance compounds
nos. 1, 5 and 21, applied postemergence at a rate of
0.5 kg/ha, have a selective herbicidal action, parti-
cularly on certain unwanted plants from warmer climates.
Compounds nos. 2 and 243, applied postemergence at a rate
of 1.0 kg/ha, are also selectively active. For example
compounds nos. 3, 46 and 234, applied postemergence at a
rate of 3.0 kg/ha, are well tolerated by crop plants and
combat unwanted plants in grass crops.
In view of the good tolerance by numerous broadleaved
and other crops and the numerous application methods
possible, the herbicides according to the invention, or
agents containing them, may be used in a ~urther large
number of crops for removing unwanted plant growth.

To lncrease the spectrum of action and to achieve
synerglstic effect~ the N-acylanthranilic acid derivatives
of the formula I, or agents containing them, may be mixed
; and applied together with numerous representatives of
other herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredient
groups. Examples of suitable mixture components are di-
azlnes, 4H-3,1-benzoxazine derivatives, benzothiadi-
azinones, 2,6-dinitroanilines, N-phenylcarbamates, thiol-
carbamates, halocarboxylic acids, trlazines, amldes, other
ureas, trlazinones, uraclls, benzofuran derivatives, cyclo-
hexane-1,3-dione derivatives, etc.
It may also be useful to apply the novel compounds,
or herbicidal agents containing them, either alone or in
combination with other herbicides, in admixture with other
crop protection agents, e.g., agents for combating pests
or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. The compounds may
also be mixed with solutions of mineral salts used to
remedy nutritional or trace element deficiencies. Non-
-phytotoxic olls and oil concentrates may also be added.
