Description
~ydroxylaminophenylsulfonylureas, their synthesis, and
their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators
The invention relates to the technical field of
herbicides and plant growth regulators, in particular the
herbicides for selectively controlling broad-leaved weeds
and grass weeds in crops of useful plants.
It has been disclosed that heterocyclically substituted
phenylsulfonylureas which have an amino or a functional-
ized amino group on the phenyl ring have herbicidal and
plant-growth-regulating properties (US-A-4,892,946;
US-A-4,981,509; EP-A-169,815).
Furthermore, WO-89/10921 discloses phenylsulfonylurea
herbicides in which the phenyl ring is 2,4-disubstituted
or 2,4,6-trisubstituted and can have, inter alia, an
alkylamino or (substituted) hydroxylamino group in the
4-position.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain hetero-
cyclically substituted phenylsulfonylureas which have an
unsubstituted or a substituted hydroxyl~;no function are
particularly suitable as herbicides or plant growth
regulators.
The present invention relates to compounds of the
formula (I) or salts thereof

_ 9 _
the hydrogen of the -SO2-N~- group or else other acidic
hydrogen atoms (for example from, inter alia, COOH) is
replaced by an agriculturally suitable cation. Examples
of these salts are metal salts, in particular alkali
metal salts (for example sodium or potassium salts) or
alkaline earth salts, or else ammonium salts or salts
with organic ~m; nes. Salt formation can also be effected
by an addition reaction of an acid with basic groups, for
example amino and alkyl~;no. Acids which are suitable
for this purpose are strong inorganic and organic acids,
for example HCl, HBr, ~2SO4 or HNO3.

The compounds of the formulae (II) and (III) are prefer-
ably reacted in an inert organic solvent, such as, for
example, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, dioxane or THF,
at temperatures between 0C, preferably 20C, and the
boiling point of the solvent, with base catalysis.
Examples of bases which are used are organic ~m;ne bases,
such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), in
particular when R* is (substituted) phenyl (cf.
EP-A-44,807), or trimethylaluminum or triethylaluminum,

carbonate or sodium hydride, in an inert solvent, such
as, for example, DMF (dimethylformamide) or DMSO (dimeth-

dialkyl sulfates or corresponding alkyl halides (cf.
Houben-Weyl-Klamann, "Methoden der organischen Chemie"
[Methods of Organic Chemistry], 4th Ed., Vol. E XVI/a,

The substituent R' can be introduced by reacting the
hydroxylamine aromatics (VI) in which R1 = R2 = H with
suitable electrophilic substances, such as, for example,
acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, isocyanates and thioiso-
cyanates (cf. Houben-Weyl-~l A~ nn, "Methoden der

The hydroxylamine derivative of the formula (VI) in which
Rl = R2 = H is accessible from the corresponding nitro
compound (VII) by reduction, for example using zinc
powder in ethanol buffered with ammonium chloride. Other
examples of suitable reducing agents for this transforma-
tion are: platinum/tributyl phosphite/4-dimethylamino-

First, the sulfo group of the compounds (VIII) is con-
verted into the sulfonyl chlorides, for example by
standard methods, such as reaction of phosphorus oxy-
chloride or thionyl chloride with potassium salts of the
corresponding sulfonic acids in inert solvents, such as
acetonitrile and/or sulfolane or in substance by reflux-

The formation of sulfonamide from the sulfonyl chlorides
with tert.-butylamine in ethanol gives the com-
pounds (VII) in good yields (cf. analogous reactions in
WO 89/10921).
Alternatively, the sulfo~A~i~es of the for~ll A II in

- or by derivatization of an already existing third
substituent, for example by oxidation of an alkyl
group (R3) to give a carboxylic acid, followed by an
esterification (R3 s CO2-alkyl) (Houben-Weyl-Falbe:

The carbamates of the formula (III) required for the
reaction of the compounds (II) by variant a) are known
from the literature or can be prepared analogously to
known processes (cf. EP-A-70804 or US-A-4,480,101).
The compounds of the formulae (IV) and (V), which can be
employed in process variant b), can also be prepared from
the abovementioned compounds of the formulae (III)
and (VIII) and from their precursors by, or analogous to,
generally ~nown methods.
The phenylsulfonyl isocyanates of the formula (IV) where
R2 is other than H can be prepared, for example, analo-
gously to the processes in EP-A-184,385 from com-
pounds (II), for example using phosgene.
The reaction of the compounds (IV) with the amino hetero-
cycles (V) is preferably carried out in inert, aprotic
solvents, such as, for example, dioxane, acetonitrile or
tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures between 0C and the
boiling point of the solvent.
The (thio)isocyanates of the formula (X) can be synthe-
sized by processes known from the literature (cf.

- 21 _ 2 1 ~ ~7 6 9
EP-A-232,067A, EP-A-166,516).
The reaction of compounds of the formula (X) with sulfon-
amides of the formula (II) is carried out at temperatures
between -10C and 100C, preferably between 20 and 80C,
in an inert aprotic æolvent, such as, for example,
acetone or acetonitrile, in the presence of a suitable
base, such as, for example, triethylamine or potassium
carbonate.
The salts of the compounds of the formula (I) are prefer-
ably prepared in inert solvents, such as, for example,
water, methanol, acetone, dichloromethane, tetrahydro-
furan, toluene or heptane, at temperatures from 0 to
100C. Suitable bases for the preparation of the salts
according to the invention are, for example, alkali metal
carbonates, such as potassium carbonate, alkali metal
hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, ammonia
or a suitable amine base, such as triethyl~m;ne or
ethanolamine. Acids which are suitable for salt formation
are, for example, ~Cl, ~Br, ~2SO4 or HN03 -
The solvents termed "inert solvents~ in the above processvariants are understood as meaning in each case solvents
which are inert under the reaction conditions in ques-
tion, but which need not be inert under any reaction
conditions.
The compounds of the for~lllA (I) according to the inven-
tion or salts thereof have an outst~n~;ng herbicidal
activity against a broad range of economically important
monocotyledon and dicotyledon harmful plants. The active
substances also act efficiently on pere~ni Al weeds which
produce shoots from rhizomes, rootstocks or other
perennial organs and which are difficult to control. In
this context, it does not matter whether the substances
are applied by the pre-plant, pre-emergence or post-
emergence method. Specifically, examples may be mentioned
of some representatives of the monocotyledon and dicotyl-
edon weed flora which can be controlled by the ccmpounds

2 1 9L .1 7 ~a ~
- 22 -
according to the invention, without the enumeration being
a restriction to certain species.
Examples of weed species on which the active substances
act efficiently are, from amongst the monocotyledons,
5 - Avena, Lolium, Alopecurus, Phalaris, Echinochloa,
Digitaria, Setaria and Cyperus species from the annual
sector and, from amongst the perenn;~l species,
Agropyron, Cynodon, Imperata and Sorghum, and also
perennial Cyperus species.
In the case of the dicotyledon weed species, the range of
action extends to species such as, for example, Galium,
Viola, Veronica, Lamium, Stellaria, Amaranthus, Sinapis,
Ipomoea, Matricaria, Abutilon and Sida from amongst the
annuals, and Convolvulus, Cirsium, Rumex and Artemisia in
the case of the perenn;~l weeds.
The active substances according to the invention also
effect an outst~n~;ng control of weeds which occur under
the specific conditions of rice growing, such as, for
example, Sagittaria, Alisma, Eleocharis, Scirpus and
Cyperus.
If the compounds according to the invention are applied
to the surface ~efore ger~;n~tion, then the weed
seedlings are either prevented completely from emerging,
or the weeds grow until they have re~ched the cotyledon
stage but then their growth stops, and, eventualIy, after
three to four weeks have elapsed, they die completely.
If the active substances are applied post-emergence to
the green parts of the plants, growth also stops drastic-
211y a very short time after the treatment and the weed
plants remain at the growth stage of the point of time of
application, or they die completely after a certain time,
so that, in this manner, competition by the weeds, which
is harmful to the crop plants, is eliminated at a very
early point in time and in a sustained manner.

Even though the compounds according to the invention have
an excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledon
and dicotyledon weeds, crop plants of economically
important crops, such as, for example, wheat, barley,
rye, rice, maize, sugar beet, cotton and soya, are not-
damaged at all, or only to a negligible extent. For these
reasons, the present compounds are highly suitable for
selectively controlling undesired vegetation in plantings
for agricultural use.
Moreover, the substances according to the invention have
excellent growth-regulating properties in crop plants.
They engage in the plant metabolism in a regulating
manner and can thus be employed for the targeted control
of plant constituents and for facilitating harvesting,
for ex2mple by provoking desiccation and stunted growth.
Furthermore, they are also suitable for generally regul-
ating and inhibiting undesired vegetative growth without
simultaneously destroying the plants. Inhibition of
vegetative growth plays an important role in many mono-
cotyledon and dicotyledon crops since lodging can bereduced hereby, or prevented completely.
The compounds according to the invention can be employed
in the conventional preparations as wettable powders,
emulsifiable concentrates, sprayable solutions, dusts or
granules. The invention therefore also relates to herbi-
cidal and plant-growth-regulating composit~ons which
comprise compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof.
The compounds of the formula (I) or the salts thereof can
be formulated in various ways, depe~;ng on the prevail-
ing biological and/or chemico-physical parameters.
Examples of possible formulations which are suitable are:
wettable powders (WP), water-soluble powders (SP),
water-soluble concentrates, emulsifiable concen-
trates (EC), emulsions (E~), such as oil-in-water and
water-in-oil emulsions, sprayable solutions, suspension
concentrates (SC), dispersions on an oil or water basis,

2~7~9
- 24 -
oil-miscible solutions, capsule suspensions (CS),
dusts (DP), seed-dressing products, granules for broad-
casting and soil application, granules (GR) in the form
of microgranules, spray granules, coated granules and
adsorption granules, water-dispersible granules (WG),
water-soluble granules (SG), ULV formulations, microcap-
sules and waxes.
These individual formulation types are known in principle
and described, for example, in:
Winnacker-Kuchler, "Chemische Technologie" [Chemical
Technology], Volume 7, C. Hauser Verlag, Munich, 4th
Edition 1986; Wade van Valkenburg, "Pesticide
Formulations" Marcel Dekker, N.Y., 1973; R. Martens,
-Spray Drying ~andbook", 3rd Ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd.
London.
The necessary formulation a~xil;~ries such as inert
materials, surfactants, solvents and other additives are
also known and described, for example, in: Watkins,

Ed., Darland Books, Caldwell N.J., H.v. Olphen,

1976; Winnacker-Kuchler, ~'Chemische Technologie" [Chem-
ical Technology], Volume 7, C. ~auser Verlag, Munich, 4thEd. 1986.
Based on these formulations, it is also possible to
prepare combinations with other pesticidally active
substances, such as, for èxzmple, insecticides, acari-
cides, herbicides, fungicides, safeners, fertilizersand/or growth regulators, for example in the form of a

- 21~476~

readymix or a tank mix.
Wettable powders are preparations which are uniformly
dispersible in water and which, besides the active
substance, also contain ionic and/or nonionic surfactants
(wetting agents, dispersants), for example polyoxy-
ethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols
and, polyoxyethylated fatty amines, fatty alcohol poly-
glycol ether sulfates, alkanesulfonates, alkyl-
benzenesulfonates, sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2'-
dinaphthylmethane-6,6~-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaph-
thalenesulfonate or else sodium oleoylmethyltaurinate, in
addition to a diluent or inert substance. To prepare the
wettable powders, the herbicidal active substances are
ground finely, for example in conventional apparatuses,
such as hammer mills, blowing mills and air-jet mills and
mixed with the formulation auxiliaries, either simul-
taneously or subsequently.
Emulsifiable concentrates are prepared by dissolving the
active substance in an organic solvent, for example
butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylforr-m;~e, xylene or else
higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons or mixtures of
the organic solvents, with an addition of one or more
ionic and/or non-ionic surfactants (emulsifiers). Emulsi-
fiers which can be used are, for example: calcium salts
of alkylarylsulfonic acids, such as calcium dodecyl-
benzenesulfonate, or non-ionic emulsifiers, such as fatty
acid polyglycol esters, alkylaryl polyglycol ethers,
fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, propylene oxide/ethylene
oxide condensation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan
esters, such as, for example, sorbitan fatty acid esters
or polyoxethylene sorbitan esters, such as, for example,
polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters.
Dusts are obtained by grinting the active substance with
finely divided solid substances, for example talc,
natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite and pyrophyl-
lite, or diatomaceous earth.

Suspension concentrates can be oil- or water-based. They
can be prepared, for example, by wet grinding using
commercially available bead mills, optionally with an
addition of surfactants, such as those already listed
above for the other types of formulation.
Emulsions, for example oil-in-water emulsions tEW), can
be prepared, for example, using aqueous organic solvents,
optionally together with surfactants, such as those
already listed above for the other types of formulation
by means of stirrers, colloid mills and/or static mixers.
Granules can be produced either by spraying the active
substance onto adsorptive, granulated inert material or
by applying active substance concentrates onto the
surface of carriers such as sand, kaolinites or of
granulated inert material, by means of binders, for
example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or alter-
natively mineral oils. Suitable active substances can
also be granulated in the manner which is conventional
for the production of fertilizer granules, if desired in
a mixture with fertilizers.
Water-dispersible granules are prepared, as a rule, by
the customary methods such as spray drying, fluidized-bed
granulation, disk granulation, mixing using high-speed
mixers and extrusion without solid inert material.
The agrochemical preparations comprise, as a rule, 0.1 to
99 % by weight, in particular 0.1 to 95 % by weight, of
active substance of the formula (I) or salts thereof.
The active substance concentration in wettable powders
i~, for example, about 10 to 90 % by weight; the remain-
der to 100 % by weight is composed of conventionalformulation components. In the case of emulsifiable
concentrates, the active sùbstance concentration can be
about 1 to 90, preferably 5 to 80 % by weight. Formula-
tions in the form of dusts usually contain 1 to 30,

- 27 - 2 1 4 1 7~ 3
usually preferably 5 to 20 % by weight of active sub-
stance, sprayable solutions about 0.05 to 80, preferably
2 to 50 % by weight. In the case of water-dispersible
granules, the active substance content depends partly on
whether the active compound is liquid or solid and on
which granulation all~il;Aries, fillers and the like are
used. It is for example between 1 and 95 % by weight,
preferably between 10 and 80 % by weight in the case of
the water-dispersible granules.
In addition, the active substance formulations mentioned
comprise, if appropriate, the adhesives, wetting agents,
dispersants, emulsifiers, penetrants, preservatives,
antifreeze agents, solvents, fillers, carriers,
colorants, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors and pH and
viscosity regulators which are conventional in each case.
Active substances which can be employed in combination
with the active substances according to the invention in
formulation mixtures or in a tank mix are, for example,
known active substances as they are described, for
example, in Weed Research 26, 441-445 (1986), or "The
Pesticide Manual", 9th Edition, The British Crop
Protection Council, 1990/91, Bracknell, England, and in
the literature cited therein. Active substances which may
be mentioned as examples of herbicides which are known
from the literature and which can be combined with the
compounds of the formula (I) are the following (note: the

For use, the formulations which are present in commer-
cially available form are, if appropriate, diluted in the
customary manner, for example using water in the case of
wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions
and water-dispersible granules. Preparations in the form
of dusts, granules for cell application and for broad-
casting, and sprayable solutions are conventionally notdiluted further with other inert substances prior to use.
The application rate required of the compounds of the
formula (I) varies with the external conditions, such as,
inter alia, temperature, humidity and the type of herbi-
cide used. It can vary within wide limits, for examplebetween 0.001 and 10.0 kg/ha or more of active ingredi-
ent, but it is preferably between 0.005 and 5 kg/ha.
A. Chemical Examples
a) 2-Carboxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid
25 400.0 g (2.53 mol) of potassium permanganate are added in
portions in the course of 2 hours at 80C to a solution
of 106.0 g (0.40 mol) of 2-methyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic
acid and 80.0 g (0.58 mol) of potassium carbonate in
1300 ml of water. The reaction temperature is maint~;ne~
between 80 and 95C. After stirring has been continued
for a further 4 hours, the solid which has formed is
removed by filtration. The filtrate is acidified using
concentrated hydrochloric -acid (p~ = 1). The colorless
2-carboxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid which has
precipitated is filtered off with suction using a Buchner

- 214~769
- 31 -
funnel and dried at approximately 50C/100 torr (82.0 g;
83.7 % of theory). m.p. >300C.
b) 2-Methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid
A suspension of 190.0 g (0.77 mol) of 2-hydroxycarbonyl-
5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, 10 ml of dimethylforr-miAe
and 250 ml (3.43 mol) of thionyl chloride is heated at
the boil for 3 hours. After the insoluble components have
been removed by means of filtration, the filtrate is
concentrated. 200 ml (4.94 mol) of methanol are added
dropwise to the resulting residue. After the addition has
ended, the reaction mixture is cooled to 0C. The solid
which has precipitated is filtered off and dried. This
gives 70.9 g (35.3 % of theory) of colorless, crystalline
2-methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid
(m.p.: 92-94C).
A second fraction (62.5 g, 31.1 % of theory) is obtained
by removing the volatile components of the mother liquor
by distillation on a rotary evaporator.
c) 2-Methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride
A solution of 70.9 g (0.27 mol) of 2-methoxycarbonyl-5-
nitrobenzenesulfonic acid in 300 ml of methanol is
treated carefully with a solution of 17.3 g (0.27 mol) of
potassium hydroxide (88 % strength) and 100 ml of
methanol, with vigorous stirring. After the mixture has
been cooled to 0C, the salt which has formed is filtered
off, dried and subsequently suspended in 150 ml of
sulfolane, 150 ml of acetonitrile and 10 ml of dimethyl-
formamide. After 100 ml (1.07 mol~ of phosphorus
oxychloride have been added, the mixture is heated at the
boil for 2.5 hours and subsequently poured into
ice-water. The 2-methoxycarbonyl-5-nitro-benzenesulfonyl
chloride which has precipitated (60.1 g, 70 ~ of theory)
is filtered off with suction using a Buchner funnel and
freed from traces of solvent under reduced pressure.

M.p.: 86-88C.
d) N-tert.-Butyl-2-methoxycarbonyl-5-nitrobenzene-
sulfon~m;de
50 ml (0.48 mol) of tert.-butylamine are slowly added
dropwise at 0C to a solution of 34.4 g (0.12 mol) of
2-methoxycarbonyl-5-nitro-benzenesulfonyl chloride in
200 ml of ethyl acetate and 250 ml of ethanol. Stirring
of the reaction solution is subsequently continued for
10 minutes at room temperature. After 500 ml of water
have been added, a colorless solid crystallizes out.
After filtration and drying, 28.1 g (89 %) of N-tert.-
butyl-2-methoxycar~onyl-5-nitrobenzenesulfonamide are
obtained. M.p.: 121-124C.
e) N-tert.-Butyl-5-hydroxylamino-2-methoxycarbonyl-
benzenesulfonamide
23.4 g tO.08 mol) of N-tert.-butyl-2-methoxycarbonyl-5-
nitrobenzenesulfonamide are introduced into 600 ml of
ethanol at 40C. After the mixture has been buffered with
42.1 g (0.79 mol) of ammonium chloride and 170 ml of
water, 32.0 g (0.49 mol) of zinc powder are added in
- portions. Stirring of the mixture is subsequently
continued for 4 hours at approximately 55C. The solid is
removed by filtration, and the filtrate is evaporated on
a rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in 800 ml of
ethyl acetate, and the mixture is washed with 300 ml of
water. The aqueous phase is re-extracted three times
using 300 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic
phases are dried over magnesium sulfate. Volatile
components are subsequently removed by distillation on a
rotary evaporator. The crystalline residue is extracted
by stirring with a little ethyl acetate: heptane (1:1).
In this manner, 17.2 g (77 %) of N-tert.-butyl-S-
hydroxylamino-2-methoxycarbonyl-benzenesulfonamide are
ob~A;ne~. M.p.: 190-195C.

3.31 g (0.01 mol) of N-tert.-butyl-5-hydroxylamino-2-
methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide are briefly heated in
20 ml of acetonitrile to obtain a homogeneous solution.
0.94 g (0.01 mol) of acetyl chloride and 1.30 g
(0.01 mol) of triethylamine are then added, with ice-bath
cooling. After 2 hours, the mixture is taken up in ethyl
acetate and washed in succession with 1 N hydrochloric
acid and saturated sodium chloride solution. After the
organic phase has been dried over magnesium sulfate, the
solvent is removed by distillation on a rotary
evaporator. After recrystallization o~ the residue from
ethyl acetate/heptane, 3.12 g (82 %) of N-tert.-butyl-5-
(N-acetylhydroxylamino)-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfon-
amide are obtained. M.p.: 168-169C.
g) 5-(N-Acetylhydroxylamino)-2-methoxycarbonyl-
benzenesulfonamide
1.70 g (4.9 mmol) of N-tert.-butyl-5-(N-acetylhydroxyl-
amino)-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide are dissolved
in 20 ml of trifluoroacetic acid. After 18 hours at 25C,
the volatile components are removed by distillation under
reduced pressure. This gives 1.48 g of 5-N-(acetylhydrox-
ylamino)-2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide.
M.p.: 246-247C.
h) 5-(N-Acetylhydroxylamino)-N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimid-
in-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonylbenzene-
sulfonamide (corresponds to Example 192 in Table 1)
0.8 ml of DBU are added to a mixture of 1.00 g (4.4 mmol)
of 5-(N-acetylhydroxylamino)-2-methoxycarbonylbenzene-
sulfonamide and 0.65 g (2.4 mmol) of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-
(phenoxycarbonyl~;no)pyrimidine in 50 ml of acetonit-
rile. After the mixture has been stirred for 18 hours,
the solvent is removed by distillation on a rotary

evaporator. The residue is taken up in water and washed
with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase is acidified using
concentrated hydrochloric acid (pH = 1). The colorless
solid is removed by filtration and extracted by stirring
with a little methanol. The resulting 5-(N-acetylhydrox-
ylamino)-N-[(dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocar~onyl]-2-
methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide (0.81 g, 79 % of
theory) has a melting point of 205-208C.
i) N-[(4,6-Dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-
methoxycarbonyl-5-(N-methoxycarbonylhydroxylamino)-
benzenesulfonamide (Ex. 238, Table 1)
0.75 ml of DBU are added to a mixture of 0.74 g
(2.43 mmol) of 2-methoxycarbonyl-5-(N-methoxycarbonyl-
hydroxylamino)benzenesulfonamide and 0.67 g (2.43 mmol)
of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-(phenoxycarbonylamino)pyrimidine in
50 ml of CH3CN. After the mixture has been stirred for
18 hours, the solvent is removed by distillation on a
rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in water and
washed with diethyl ether. After the aqueous phase has
been acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid
(p~ = 1) a colorless solid precipitates. After filtration
with suction and washing with methanol, 0.66 g of the
above-designated sulfonylurea is obtained; colorless
crystals of m.p. 192-193C.
j) N-[(4,6-Dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-
methoxycarbonyl-4-(N-methoxycarbonylhydroxyl~;no)-
benzenesulfonamide (Examples 3-9, Table 3)
1.2 ml of DBU are added dropwise to a suspension of 1.2 g
of 2-methoxycarbonyl-4-(N-methoxycarbonylhydroxylamino)-
benzenesulfon~;de and 1.1 g of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-(phenoxy-
carbonylamino)pyr;mi~;ne in 30 ml of C~3CN. After a
reaction time of 4 hours, the mixture is worked up
analogously to Example i). 1.09 g of the above-designated
sulfonylurea are obtained; colorless crystals of m.p.
171-174C.

k) Sodium salt of N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-
aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonyl-5-(N-methoxy-
carbonylhydroxylamino)benzenesulfonamide
(Examples 4-10, $able 4)
1.2 ml of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution are added to a
solution of 0.57 g of N-~(4,6-dimethoxypyri~i~in-2
yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-methoxycarbonyl-5-(N-methoxycarbonyl-
hydroxylamino)benzenesulfonamide in 20 ml of CH2Cl2 and
20 ml of CH3CN. After the reaction mixture has been
stirred for 2 hours, it is evaporated in vacuo. The
resulting product (0.61 g) melts at 175-180C and is the
above-designated sulfo~ylurea.
The rP~ining compounds described in Tables 1 - 4 are
obtained analogously to Examples a) to k).

B. Formulation Examples
a) A dust is obtained by mixing 10 parts by weight of
a compound of the formula (I) and 90 parts by weight
of talc as inert substance and comminuting the
mixture in a hammer mill.
b) A wettable powder which is readily dispersible in
water is obtained by mixing 25 parts by weight of a
compound of the formula (I), 64 parts by weight of
kaolin-contAin;ng quartz as inert substance,
10 parts by weight of potassium ligninsulfonate and
1 part by weight of sodium oleoylmethyltaurinate as
wetting agent and dispersant, and grinding the
mixture in a pinned-disk mill.
c) A dispersion concentrate which is readily dispers-
ible in water is obtained by mixing 20 parts by
weight of a compound of the formula (I) with 6 parts
by weight of alkylphenol polyglycol ether
(-Triton X 207), 3 parts by weight of isotridecanol
polyglycol ether (8 EO) and 71 parts by weight of
paraffinic mineral oil (boiling range for example
approximately 255 to above 277C), and grinding the
mixture in a ball mill to a fineness of below
5 microns.
d) An emulsifiable concentrate is obtained from
15 parts by weight of a compound of the formula (I),
75 parts by weight of cyclohexanone as solvent and
10 parts by weight of ethoxylated nonylphenol as
emulsifier.
e) Water-dispersible granules are obtained by mixing
75 parts by weight of a compound of the formula (I),
10 " of ~calcium ligninsulfonate,
5 ~ of sodium lauryl sulfate,
3 ~ of polyvinyl alcohol and

- 21~4769
- 67 -
7 " of kaolin,
grinding the mixture on a pinned-disk mill, and
granulating the powder in a fluidized bed by spray-
ing on water as granulation liquid.
f) Water-dispersible granules are also obtained by
homogenizing and precomminuting
25 parts by weight of a compound of the formula (I),
" of sodium 2,2'-dinaphthyl-
methane-6,6'-disulfonate,
2 " of sodium oleoylmethyltaurinate,
1 part by weight of polyvinyl alcohol,
17 parts by weight of calcium carbonate and
50 " of water
on a colloid mill, subsequently grinding the mixture
on a bead mill, and atomizing and drying the result-
ing suspension in a spray tower by means of a
single-substance nozzle.
C. Biological Examples
1. Pre-emergence effect on weeds
Seeds or rhizome pieces of monocotyledon and dicotyledon
weed plants were placed in sandy loam soil in plastic
pots and covered with soil. The compounds according to
the invention which were formulated in the form of
wettable powders or emulsion concentrates were then
applied to the surface of the soil, in the form of
aqueous suspensions or emulsions at an application rate
of 600 to 800 l/ha (converted), in various dosages.
After the treatment, the pots were placed in a greenhouse
and kept under good growth conditions for the weeds.
After the test plants had emerged, the damage to the
plants or the negative effect on the emergence was scored

- 21~7~
- 68 -
visually after a test period of 3 to 4 weeks by compari-
son with untreated controls. A~ shown by the test
results, the compounds according to the invention have a
good herbicidal pre-emergence activity against a broad
range of grass weeds and broad-leaved weeds. For example,
the compounds of Examples 61, 192, 217, 238, 256 and 262
of Table 1, 3-9 and 3-29 of Table 3 and 4-9 of Table 4
have a very good herbicidal activity against noxious
plants, such as Sinapis alba, Chrysanthemum segetum,
Avena sativa, Stellaria media, Echinochloa crus-galli and
Lolium multiflorum when applied pre-emergence at an
application rate of 0.3 kg and less of active ingredient
per hectare.
2. Post-emergence effect on weeds
Seeds or rhizome pieces of monocotyledon and dicotyledon
weeds were placed in sandy loam soil in plastic pots,
covered with soil and grown in a greenhouse under good
growth conditions. Three weeks after sowing, the test
plants were treated in the three-leaf stage.
The compounds according to the invention which were
formulated as wettable powders or as emulsion concen-
trates were sprayed in various dosages onto the green
parts of the plants at an application rate of 600 to
800 l/ha (converted) and, after the test plants had
remained in the greenhouse for approx;~ately 3 to 4 weeks
under ideal growth conditions, the effect of the prepara-
tions was scored visually by comparison with untreated
controls. The compositions according to the invention
also have a good herbicidal post-emergence activity
against a broad range of economically important grass
weeds and broacl-leaved weeds. For example, the compounds
of Examples 61, 192, 217, 238, 256 and 262 of Table 1,
3-9 and 3-29 of Table 3 and 4-9 of Table 4 have a very
. .
good herbicidal activity against noxious plants such as
Sinapis alba, Stellaria media, Echinochloa crus-galli,
Lolium multlflorum, ChrysanthPmllm segetum and Avena

21~ 76~
- 69 -
sativa when applied post-emergence at an application rate
of 0.3 kg and less of active ingredient per hectare.
- 3. Tolerance by crop plants
In further greenhouse experiments, seeds of a substantial
number of crop plants and weeds were placed in sandy loam
soil and covered with soil. Some of the pots were treated
immediately as described in Section 1, and the remaining
pots were placed in a greenhouse until the plants had
developed two to three true leaves and were then sprayed
with various dosages of the substances of the formula (I)
according to the invention as described in Section 2.
Visual scoring four to five weeks after the application
and after the plant had been in the greenhouse revealed
that the compounds according to the invention did not
inflict any damage to dicotyledon crops such as, for
example, soya, cotton, oilseed rape, sugar beet and
potatoes when used pre- and post-emergence, even when
high dosages of active substance were used. Some of the
substances also left Gramineae crops such as, for
example, barley, wheat, rye, sorghum species, maize or
rice particularly unharmed.
The compounds of the formula (I) therefore have a high
selectivity when used for controlling undesired vegeta-
tion in agricultural crops.
