This application is a division of Serial No. 397,435
filed March 2, 1982.
This invention relates to substituted benzamide
derivatives useful as herbicides and fungicides, to
processes of combatting weeds and fungal infestations and
to herbicidal and fungicidal compositions.
Substituted benzamide derivatives have previously been
proposed for use as herbicides, by way of example, the
compounds disclosed in UK Patent Specifications No.1209608
and 1395802 may be mentioned.
According to the present invention, there are provided
amide derivatives of the formula (I)

wherein Rl is an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl,
aryl, heterocyclyl, benzyl, or heterocyclylmethyi
radical;
R2 is hydrogen, or an optionally substituted alkyl,
alkenyl, benzyl, or heterocyclylmethyl, radical,
X is oxygen, sulphur, or an -NH- group'
R3 is an optionally substituted alkyl or alkenyl
radical when X is oxygen or sulphur, or is an optionally
substituted alkanoyl radical when X is -NH-,
and E is a -CN, -CONH2, -CSNH2, or -CoNR4R5
group wherein each R4 and R5 is hydrogen or an
optionally substituted alkyl or alkenyl group.

~ len the group R1 is an optionally substituted alkyl
or alkenyl radical, it may be for example Cl 5 alkyl or
C3_5 alkenyl radical. Examples of substituents include
C1-C4 alkoxy, Cl-C4 alkylthio and halogen (i.e.
fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine).
~ en Rl is a benzyl radical optionally substituted
in the phenyl ring, examples of substituents include
halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine), Cl-C4
alkoxy, Cl C4 alkylthio, nitro, cyano, Cl-C4
haloalkyl (e.g. CF3), and Cl-C4 alkyl (e.g. CH3).
There may be from one to five substituents, which may be
the same or dif~erent.
When Rl is an optionally substituted aryl group it
may be a phenyl or naphthyl radical. Examples of
substituents which may be present include fluorine,
chlorine, bromine, iodine, Cl-C4 alkoxy,
methylenedioxy and ethylenedioxy, Cl-C4 alkyl, Cl-
C4 alkylthiot Cl-C4 haloalkyl (e.g. CF3) nitro and
cyano. There may be from one to three or more substituents
which may be the same or different. When Rl is a
substituted phenyl radical the substituents are preferably
in the 3, 4, or 5 positions. ~hen a methylenedioxy or
ethylenedioxy substituent is present, it preferably is
attached to the 3 and 4 positions of .he phenyl ring. A
halo~en substituent (e.g. Cl or Br) may also be present in
the 4- or S-position, or both, in such compounds.
~ en Rl is an optionally substituted heterocyclyl
radical, it may for example be a furyl, benzfuryl, thienyl,
pyridyl, thiazolyl, or benzthiazolyl radical. E~amples of
substituents which may be present include those listed above
for the case when Rl is a substituted phenyl radical.

ben~thiazolyl group. Examples of substituents w~ich may be
present in the heterocyclyl group include those described
above for the case when Rl is a substituted phenyl
radical.
R2 is preferably hydrogen but when it is not, then it
may be an optionally substituted alkyl group, for example an
Cl-C4 alkyl group. Examples of substituents which may be
present include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and
Cl-C4 alkoxy~ When R~ is an optionally substituted
alkenyl group it may be for example an alkenyl group of from
3-5 carbon atoms. Examples of substituents which may be

R4 an~ R5 are preferably hydrogen, but when they arenot, they may be optionally substituted alkyl or alkenyl
group it may have any of the values defined above for the
group R2 when it is an optionally substituted alkyl or
alkenyl radical.
Within the above definition, one sub-class of
compounds according to the invention comprises those
compounds whexein R2 is hydrogen. ~ithin this sub-class,
a further sub-class comprises those compounds in which E
is a cyano group, X is O or S, and ~3 is Cl-C~ alkyl
A group within the latter sub-class includes those
compounds in which R1 is phenyl or heterocyclyl. Within
the latter group, a sub-group includes compounds in which
the heterocyclyl or phenyl group is substituted, for example
by alkyl, alkoxy, methylenedioxy, or halogen, for example
fluorine or chlorine. In such compounds the groups or atoms
are preferably located in the 3, 4 or 5 positions of
the phenyl ring.
The structural formula (I) given above is believed
to be the one which best represents the structure of the
compounds. For some compounds within the scope of the
formula (I) it may be possible in principle for tautomeric
forms of the compound to exist, in which a hydrogen atom is
transposed to another part of the molecule and the chemical
bonds between the atoms of the molecule are consequently re-
arranged; thus, where ~1 is hydrogen, it is possible in
principle for the molecule to exist in the alternative form

~ le structura] formula (I) is intended to represent
and include such tautomeric forms, insofar as they may
exist. The structural formula (I) is also intenc~ed to
include any physically clistinguishable modifications of
the compounds which rnay arise, for example, from different
ways in which the molecules are arranged in a crystal
lattice, or Erom the inability of parts of the molecules
to rotate freely in relation to other parts, or from
geometrical and or optical isomerism, or from intra-
molecular or inter-molecu].ar boncling, or otherwise.

In another aspect the invention provid~s a process of
inhibiting the growth of unwanted plants, which comprises
applying to the plants, or to the locus thereof, a phyto-
toxic amount of a compound of the formula (I) as
hereinb~fore defined. The amount of the compound may vary,
depending upon the identity of the particular compound
chosen and the plant species whose growth i5 to be
inhibited, but in general a~ounts of from 0.01 to 5.0
kilograms per hectare will be suitable: usually the amount
will be from 0.2 to 1.O kilograms per hectare. The skilled
worker in the herbicide art will readily be able to
establish ~ppropriate application rates by standard
procedures without undue experimentation.
The compounds of the invention are xelatively less
toxlc towards certain crop plants than they are towards
other plant species; accordingly, there is the possibility
of using the compounds for selective weed control in these
crops. Examples of such crops include cvtton, sugar beet,
rape, lettuce, peas; the compounds may be useful in a
number of crops of tl-e families Compositae and
Leguminosae.
The compounds used in the process of the invention are
preferably applied in the form of a composi~ion, in which
the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier comprising a
solid or liquid diluent. In another aspect, therefore, the
invention provides a herbicidal composition, comprising as
an active ingredient a compound of the formula (I) as
hereinbefore defined, in admixture with a solid or liquid
diluent. Preferably the composition also comprises a
surface-active agent.
The solid compositions of the invention may be for
example, in the ~orm of dusting powders, or may take the
form of granules. Suitable solid diluents include, for
example, kaolin, bentonite, kieselguhr, dolomite, calcium
carbonate, talc, powdered magnesia, and Fuller's Earth.
X

24 ~ 3.~
Solid cornposltions ~ay also be in the form of
dispersible powders or grains comprising in additlon to
the active ingredient, a wetting agent to facilitate the
dispersion of the powder or grains in llquids. Such
powders or ~rains may include fillers, suspending agents
and the like.
Liquid compositions include aqueous solutions,
dispersions and emulsions containing the active ingredient
preferably in the presence of one or more surface active
agents. ~1ater or organic liquids may be used to prepare
~olutions, dispersions, or emulsions ~f the active
ingredient. The liquid composition~ o the ~nventio~ may
also contain one or more corrosion inhibitors for example
lauryl isoquinoliniwm bromide.
Sur~ace active agents may be of the cationic, anionic
or non-ionic type. Suitable agents of the cationic type
include for example quaternary a~monium compounds, for
example cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide. Suitable agents
of the anionic type~nclude for example soaps, salts of
aliphatic mono-esters of ~ulphurlc acid, for example
sodium lauryl sulphate: and salts of sulphonated aromatic
compounds, for example dodecyl~enzenesulphonate, sodium,
calcium and ammonium lignosulphonate, butylnaphthalene
sulphonate, and a m~xture of the sodium salts of diiso-
propyl- and triisopropyl-naphthalenesulphonic acid.
Suitable agents of the non-ionic type include, for
example, the condensation products of ethylene oxida with
fatty alcohols SUCll as oleyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol, or
with al~yl pllenols 3uch as octyl-phenol, nonylphenol, and
octylcresol. Other non-ionic agents arc the partial esters
derived from long chain fatty acids and hexitol
anhydrides, for example sorbitol monolaurate the
condensation products of the said partial esters witn
ethylene oxide and the lecithins-

The co~positions which are to be used in the form ofaqueous solutions, dispersions or e~uls~ons are generally
supplied in the for~ of a concentrate contalnin~ a h~gh
proportion of the act~ve ingredient, the concentrate being
diluted with water before use. These concentrates are
usually required to with3tana storage for prolonged
periods and ater such stora~e to be capable of dilution
with water in order to form aqueous preparatlons whlch
remain homogenous for a sufficient time to enable them to
be applied by conventional spray equip~ent.
The compositions of the lnvent~on may contain, in
addition to carriers and surfac~-actlve agents, variou~
other constituents to increa~e their u~efulness. They may
contain~ for example, buffer~ng salt~ to maintain the pH
of the co~position with~n a aesired range: antlfreeze
agents, for example urea or propylene glycol: adjuvants,
for example oils and humectants: ana sequestrants, for
example citric acid and ethylenediam~netetracetic acid,
which help to pre~ent the formatlon of insoluble
precipitates when th~ co~po~itions are diluted with hard
water. Aqueous dispersion~ may conta~n anti-settling
agents and anti-caking agent~. The composi;tion~ may in
general contain a dye or pigment to impart a
characteristic colour. Agents for increa~ing viscosity may
2S be added to reduce the for~ation of fine droplet~ during
spraying, and thereby reduce spray drift. Other additives
useful for particular purposes will be known t~ those
skilled in the formulation art.
In general concentrates may conveniently contain from
30 10 to 85% and preferably fro~ 25 to 60% by weight of
active ingredient. Dilute preparations ready for use ~ay
contain varying amounts of the active ingredient,
depending upon the purpose for which they are to be used;
however, dilute preparations suitable for ~any uses
35 contain between 0.01~ and 10~ and preferably between 0.1
and 1~ by weisht of the active ingredient.

The invention Eurt71er ~rov~des Frocess~s ~or prepar~ng
compo~n~s oE Eormula ~I) above. Thus~ compounds ~Iherein

proces~ of Scheme A below ~-

. ;.
. ~ ~

~ ~3;~
The process outlined in Scheme ~ begins with step (a),
in whicll an acid chloride Rlcocl is reacted with amino-
acetonitrile by a convent~onal procedure to obtain the
acylamir,oacetonitrile der~vative (III). Thi3 is then
reacted in step (b) w~th a brominating agent (for example
bromine in glacial acetic acid) t~ gi~e the brominated
derivative (IV). This brom1nation procedure also
simultaneously hydrates the cyano group to a carbamoyl
group -CONH2, and necessitates treatment with a
dehydrating agent at a later stage to convert the
carbamoyl group back into a cyano groupO It may be
possible to avoid the undes;red converslon of the cyano
group to carbamoyl by uYe of a different solvent or
brominating agent and thereby shorten the process by
mak~ng step (d) unnecessary.
In step (c), the bromo compound (IV3 i8 reacted with
an appropriate alcvhol, th~ol, or amlde of formula R3XH
to obtain the carbamoyl compound (V). Preferably the
reaction i5 carried out in a solvent; the solvent should
be an aprotic solvent to avoid reaction of the solvent
with the bromo-compound (IV). Preferably an acid acceptor
i8 present in at least a 3toichiometric proportion.
Examples of acid acceptors include tertiary amines, for
example triethylamine and pyr~dine. The reaction takes
place readily even at ambient temperatures but may be
accelerated if deRired by heating for example to lOO~C or
above.
The intermediate compounds of formula IV and V are
novel and constitute a further aspect of the present
invention.
~ le final step (d) of Scheme ~ is the treatment of the
carbamoyl compound (V) with a dehydrating agent to convert
it to the corresponding cyano compound. The dehydrating
agent may be, for example, a bi-molar amount of p-toluene
3S sulphonyl chloride in pyridine as solvent and acid
acceptor, or another dehydrating agent, for example

2~
phosphorus o~ychloride-climethylformamide. The reac~ion
with p-toluenesulphonyl chloride proceeds readily at
ambient temperature. Scheme A has been described in
terms of brominated compounds; however, the scheme could
equally he carried out using a chlorinating agent (e.g.
gaseous chlorine) in place of a brominating agent, to
produce the chlorinated compound corresponding to compound
(IV), this could then be used in step (c) in place of
compound (IV). This rou~e cannot be used where Rl is
readily attacked by elemental bromine or chlorine.
A further process for making compounds of the
invention in which R2 is hydrogen is ou~lined in Scheme
B :-

(c) (VIII) + R3XH - -~ RlCONHCH
\ CO2R6 (R3)
(IX)
(d) (IX) + ~3 ~ (V)

29 1 ~3~R~
In step (a) of Scheme B, an amide RlCONH2 is
condensed with a glyoxylic ester HCO-C02R6 to give the
hydroxy intermediate (VII). The group R6 is an ester
radical, for example an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms
(e.g. a methyl group). In step (b), the hydroxy
intermediate (VII) is treated with a chlorinatina aaent
(e.g. thionyl chloride) to convert it to the chloro-
derivative (VIII). This is in turn reacted in step (c)
with the appropriate alcohol, thiol, or amine R3XH to
give the ester (IX)o Treatment of this with ammonia in
step (c) gives the carbamoyl derivative (V) which may then
be converted to the cyano compound of the invention by the
method of step (d) of Scheme A.
An alternative process for preparing the amide
derivatives of the invention when X=0 in formula I is a
variation of the Scheme B process above. This Scheme B
variation is outlined below :

In this modified Scheme B procedure it can be seen
that one can proceed directl~r from the hydroxy
intermediate (VII) to the ester (IX~ in one step. The
ester ~IX) is then treated with ammonia, as in step d, to
S produce the carbamoyl derivative ~V) which in turn is
converted to the cyano compound of the Invention (VI) by
means of the final step ~step d) of the process of Scheme
A.

According to Scheme C the bromo-amide (IV) (prepared

reaction to give the amide (X). This is then treated with
a dehydrating agent (e.g. trifluoroacetic anhydride in

reacted with ammonia to give the amide (X) already
prepared in Scheme C. As in Scheme C the amide ~X) may
then be dehydrated to give the required nitrile (XI). The
conversion of (XII) to (X) may be troublesome because the
esters (XII) tend to be highly insoluble.
A further method of preparing compounds of the
invention is outlined in Scheme E.

to give the amide (XIV), and finally (XIV~ is treated with
a dehydrating agent to give the ni~rile (XV).
Thi8 method may ~onveniently be used to prepare
compound6 in which R2 is other than hydrogen,
particularly when either Rl or R2 is susceptible to
reaction with bromine or sulphuryl chloride, which are used
as reagents in certain other routes described herein.
A further method for preparing compounds of the

According to Scheme F, an amine R2NH2 is condensed
with formaldehyde cyanhydrin to give the substituted amino-
acetonitrile R2NHCH2CN. This is then acylated by theappropriate acid chloride RlCOCl tc, give the amide
derivative (XVI).
This in turn is chlorina~ed ~e.g. with 502C12) or
brominated (e.g. with Br2) to give the highly reactive
bromo- or chloro-derivative (XVII~. This is treated with
the appropriate alcohol, thiol or amlde ~3XH in the
presence of base to give the required nitrile (XV).
T~le chloro- or hromo- nitriles (XVII) are too unstable
to be isolated and characterised, and are used within a
sllort time after they are prepared. The final stage (d) of
the scheme may conveniently be carried out by using an
excess of the alcohol, thiol, or amide ~3XH as solvent,
and anhydrous potassium carbonate as the base.
Triethylamine or other tertiary amines may also be used as
the base.

The cyanoamides (XVI~ may also be prepared by methods
other than that described above. Thu9, the R2 substituent

The reaction is conveniently carried out by passinggaseous H2S through a solution of the nitrile in pyridine
containing a little triethylamine as catalyst. Usually the
solution is externally cooled to 0-10. If the product does
not separate from the solution, it may be isolated by
removal of the solvent.

The amide derivatives of formula I, and compositions
containing them, are variously active against a wide range
of fungal diseases, particularly, for example, against:
Plasmopara viticola (downy mildew) on vines and
Phytophthora infestans (late blight) on pot~toes and
tomatoes and other species of Phytophthora
Phytophthora parasitica, Phytophthora cinnamomi,
Phytophthora ~ and Phyto~hthora capsici on a
range of commercially important crops
Peronospora tabacina on tobacco
Peronospora para~itica on cabbage
Peronospora destructor on onions
Bremia lactuca on lettuce
Pythium specie~ on a range of commercially importan~
crops
Other fungal di~eases, for example:
Venturia inaequalis (scab) on apples
Cercospora arachidicola on peanuts and other
Cercospora species.
A particularly valuable feature of the activity of the
amide derivatives i8 their systemic effect, i.e. their
ability to move in a plant to combat an infection or
infestation remote from the site of initial application.
Thus a derivative, or a composition containing it, may be
applied to the soil surrounding the roots of a plant or to
the seed or to other plant area~, e.g. leave~, and be taken
up by the plant through Its roots, or other areas, to
combat fungi locelly or elnewher~ _

37
In another aspect, therefore, the invention provides a
process for combatt-ing fungi, especially of inhibiting the
growth of fungi on plants, which comprises applying to the
plant~, or the locus thereof, a fun~icidally effective
amount of a compound of the formula (I) as hereinbefore
defined. The amount of the compound may vary, depending
upon the identity of the particular compound chosen, the
fungal species whose growth is to be inhibited, and the
plant or locus involved.
The skilled worker in the fungicide art will readily be
able to establish appropriate application rates by
standard proeedure~ without undue experimentation.
Preferred compounds for use in the fungicidal
compositions of the invention and the process for
combatting fungi are those defined in detail above with
reference to formula I wherein R2 i9 hydrogen, Rl is
optionally-substituted phenyl, or heterocyclyl, for example
2-furyl, X is 0 or S (X is preferably 0) and R3 is
alkyl, alkenyl, or haloalkyl, and E is CN or CSNH2.
Preferred phenyl substitution, when Rl is phenyl, is
at the 3, 4 or 5 positions and is alkyl, alkoxy,
methylenedioxy or halogen. Preferred alkyl groups for R3
are Cl_4 alkyl. Allyl is also a preferred group for R3.
The compounds used in the process and compositions of
the invention are preferably applied in the form of a
composition, in which the active ingredient is mixed with a
carrier comprising a solid or liquid diluent. In another
aspect, therefore, the invention provides a fungicidal
composition, comprising as an active ingredient a compound
of the formula (I) as hereinbefore defined, in admixture
with a solid or liquid diluent. Preferably the composition
also comprises a surface-actlve agent. ~

3~
The amide derivatives l~ay ~)e used as such for anti-
fungal purposes but are more conveniently formulated into
compositions for such usage.
The invention also provides fungicidal compositions
S comprising as active ingredient an amide derivative as
defined in any of the paragraphs above.
The amide derivatives and compositions containing them
can be used to combat plant fungi and treat plants or seeds
in a number of ways, for example -they can be applied,
formulated or unformulated, directly to the foliage of a
plant which is infected or likely to become infected, or
they can be applied also to bushes and trees, to soil or to
other medium in which plants, bushes or trees are growing
or to ba planted, or they can be sprayed on, dusted on or
applied as a cream or paste formulation. Application can
be to any part of the plant, bush or tree, for example to
the foliage, stems, branches, seeds or roots, or to the
soil surrounding the roots.
The terms "combatting" and "treatment" as used
herein embrace all the foregoing modes of ap~lication and
the term "plant" includes seedlings, bushes and trees.
Furthermore, the method of the invention includes
protectant, prophylactic and eradicant treatment.
The derivatives are preferably used for agricultural
and horticultural purposes in the form of compositions.
The type of composition used in any instance will depend
upon the particular purpose envisaged.
The compositions may be in the form of dustlng powders
or granules, for example ordinary grains or "slow release"
granules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with a

Compositions Eor dressing seed ~ay, f~r example, comprise
an agent (for example a mineral oil) for assisting the
adhesion of the co~positlon to the seed.
The compositions may also be in the for~ of
S dispersible powders or grains comprising a wetting agent to
facilitate the dispersion in liquids af the powder or
grains which may contain also fillers and suspending
agents.
The aqueous dispersion of emulsions may be prepared by
dissolving the active ingredient~s~ in an orqanic solvent
which may contain wetting, dispersina or emulsifying
agent(s) and then addlng the mixture so obtained to water
which may also contain wetting, dispersing or em~lsifying
agent~s). Suitable organic solvents are ethylene
dichloride, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, diacetone
alcohol, toluene, kerosene, methylnaphthalene, xylenes and
trichloroethylene.
The compositions for spraying may also be in the form
of aerosols wherein the formulation is held in a
propellant, e.g. fluorotrichloromethane or dichloro-
difluoromethane.
By including suitable additives, for exa~ple additives
for irnproving the distribution, adhesive power and
resistance to rain on treated surfaces, the different
cornpositions can be better adapted for various uti-lities.
The derivatives can be used in smoke generators and
also as mixtures with fertilisers (e.g. nitrogen- or
phosphorus- containing fertilisers). Compositions
comprising only granules oE fertiliser incorporating, for
example coated with, the derivative, are preferred.
The invention therefore also provides a fertiliser
cornDosition comprising the derivative and a fertiliser.
The compositions mav also be in the form of liquid
preparations for use as dips or sprays which are generally
aqueous dispersions or emulsions containing the active
ingredient in the presence of one or more surface

active agent(s), dispersing agent(s), emulsifying agent(s)
or anionic or non-ionic agents. Suitable cationic aaents
are quaternary ammonium compounds for example,
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
Suitable anionic agents are soaps, salts of aliphatic
monoesters of sulphuric acid (for example sodium lauryl
sulphate), and salts of sulphonated aromatic compounds (for
example sodium dodecylbenzene-sulphonate, sodium, calcium
or ammonium lignosulphonate, butylnaphthalene ~ulphonate,
and a mixture of sodium di-isopropyl- and
triisopropylnaphthalene sulphonates).
Suitable non-ionic agents are the condensation
products of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohol~ such as
oleyl alcohol or cetyl alcohol, or with alkyl phenols such
as octylphenol, nonylphenol and octylcresol. Other non-
ionic agents are the partial esters derived from lony chain
fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, the condensation
products of the said partial esters with ethylene ocide,
and the lecithins. Suitable suspending agents are
hydrophilic colloids (for example polyvinylpyrrolidone and
sodium carboxymethylcellulose), and the vegetable gums ~for
example gum acacia and gum tragacanth).
The compositions for use as aqueous dispersions or
emulsions are generally supplied in the form of a
concentrate containing a high proportion of the active
ingredient(s), the concentrate to ~e diluted with water
before use. These concentrates often should be able to
withstand storage for prolonged periods and after such form
aqueous preparations which remain homogenous for a
sufficient time to enable them to be applied by
conventional spray equipment. T~le concentrates may
conveniently contain 10-85%, generally 25-60~, by weight of
the active ingredient(s).
~7hen diluted to form aaueous preparations, such
preparations may contain varying amounts of the active
ingredient(s) depending upon the intended purpose, but an
aqueous preparation containing 0.0005% or 0.01~ to 10~ by
weight of active insredient(s) may be used.

The co~positions of this invention can co~prise also
other compound( 5 ) having bioloyical activity, e.g.
compounds having similar or complemen~axy fungicidal or
plant growth regulating activity or compounds ha~ing
herbicidal or insecticidal activity.
The other fungicidal co~pound can be for example one
which is capable o combating ear diseases of cereals (e.g.
wheat) such as Septoria, Gibberella and Relminthosporium
spp., seed and soil borne di.seases and downy and powdery
~ildews on grapes and powdery mildew and scab on apple etc.
These mixtures of fungicides can have a broader spectrum of
activity than the compound of general formula II) alone;
furt~er the other fungicide can have a synergistic effect

DPX3217* ethirimol, dimethirimol, b~pirimate,
chlorothalonil and metazanine.
Suitable insecticides are pirimorS croneton,
dimethoate, metasystox and formothion.
The other plant growth regulating compound can be one
which controls weeds or seedhead for~ation, improves the
level or longevity of the plant growth resulating activity
of the compounds of general formula ~I), selectively
controls the growth of the less desirable plants (e.g.
grasqes) or causes the compound of general for~ula (I) to
act faster or slower as a plant growth reaulating agent.
Some of these other agents wîll be herbicides. Examples of
suitable agents are the gibberellins (e.g. GA3, GA4 or
GA7), the auxins (e.g. indoleacetic acid, indolebutyric
acid, naphthoxyacetic acid or naphthylacetic acid), the
cytokinins (e.g. kinetin, diphenylurea, benzimidazole,
benzyladenine or BAP), phenoxyacetic acids (e.g. 2,4-D or

This Exa~ple further illustra-tes the herbicid21
proper-ties of compo~lnds according to the in~ention. Tests
were carried out as clescriDed in Example 10, but using
different ranges of test plants. The pos.-emergence test
was slightly different from the one described in Exa~ple
10 in tha~ the seeds were sown in trays of soil and
covered with a few millimetres of soil before spraying the
test compound, whereas in the previous test the seeds were
sprayed directlyO
The compounds were formulated in a similar way to
that described in Example 10, but usina cyclohexanone
solution containing Synperonic NPE 1800*(a nonyl-phenol-
propylene oxide - ethylene oxide condensate~ and Tween 85*
~a condensate of sorbitan tri-oleate with 20 molar
~roportions of ethylene oxide~ instead of the
methylcyclohexanone solution of suxfac-tants described in
that Exa~ple. Tne da~age to the test plants was assessed
on a scale of 0 to 9 where 0 represents 0 to 10~ damase to
the plant and 9 is 90 to 100% damage. Assessments were
made 26 days after spraying the compounds. I~e results are
given in Tables 4 and 5 below. ~

EXAMPLE 22
The compounds were tested against a variety of foliar
fungal diseases of plants. The techniques employed were
as follows:
The plants were grown in John Innes Potting Compost (No.l
or 2) in 4 cm diameter mini-pots. A layer of fine sand
was placed at the bottom to facilitate uptake of test
compound by the roots. The test compounds were
formulated either by bead milling with aqueous
~ispersol T or as a solution in acetone or acetone/ethanol
which was diluted to the required concentration
immediately before use. For the foliage diseases
suspensions (100 ppm active ingredient) were sprayed on to
the foliage and applied to the roots of the same plant via
the soil. Exceptions ~ere the tests on Plasmopara viticola
_. .
and Venturia inaequalis in which the compound was sprayed
.
on to the foliage only. Sprays were applied to maximum
retention,and root drenches were applied to a final
concentration equivalent to approximately 40 ppm a.i./dry
soil. Tween 20, to give a final concentration of 0.05~ was
added when the sprays were applied to cereals.
E`or most of the tests the compound was applied to the
soil (roots) and to the foliage (by spraying) one or two
days before the plant was inoculated with the dlseases.
An exception was the test on Erysiphe graminis in which
the plants were inoculated 24 hours before treatment.
After inoculation, the plants were put into an
appropriate environment to allow infection to take place
and then incubated until the disease was ready for
- assessment.

81 ~ r~
The period between inoculation and assessment varied
fro~ four to fourteen days according to the disease and
environment.
The disease control was recorded by the -following
S grading:
4 = no disease
3 = trace - 5% of disease on untrea~ed plants
2 = 6-25~ of disease on untreated plants
1 = 26-59~ of disease on untreated plants
0 = 60-100% of disease on untreated plants
The results are shown in Table 6 below.
In the table below the following compounds have been
omitted for the reasons stated.
Compounds Nos. 5, 6, 7, 14, 16~ 21, 23, 25, 27, 29,
32, 40, 58, 88, 115, 123, 140 were not tested at the
standard primary screen rate.
Compounds Nos. 135, 136, 138, 142-145, 147, 148 and
160 were not tested.
A dash, thus "-", in the table in any column indicates
that the particular compound was not tested against that
particular disease.
An asterisk, thus "*" against the disease srading in
the column headed "BOTRYTIS CINEREA (TOMATO)" signifies
that the test plant material used in this instance were
grape l~erries. ~
