Substituted pyridines having herbicidal activity

The present invention relates to substituted pyridines of the general formula I defined below and to their use as herbicides. Moreover, the invention relates to compositions for crop protection and to a method for controlling unwanted vegetation.

WO 2010/049270 describes certain herbicidal pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-2-ones.

WO 2010/02931 1 describes certain homogentisate solanesyltransferase (HST) inhibit- ing herbicides having a fused pyridine ring as structural unit (see pages 39 to 41 ).

EP 0 273 860 A1 describes certain N-(2,2-Dioxo-1 ,2-benzoxathiin-8-ylsulfonyl)-N'- pyrimidinylureas, N-(2,2-dioxo-1 ,2-benzoxathiin-8-ylsulfonyl)-N'-triazolylureas and N- (2,2-dioxo-1 ,2-benzoxathiin-8-ylsulfonyl)-N'-triazinylureas which are claimed to have herbicidal and growth regulating properties.

Co-pending international patent applications No. PCT/EP201 1/073157 and

WO 201 1/1 17152 describe certain substituted pyridine derivatives having herbicidal activity.

However, the herbicidal properties of these known compounds with regard to the harmful plants are not always entirely satisfactory.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compounds having improved herbicidal activity. To be provided are in particular compounds which have high herbicidal activity, in particular even at low application rates, and which are sufficiently compatible with crop plants for commercial utilization.

These and further objects are achieved by the substituted pyridine compound of the formula I, defined below, and by their N-oxides and also their agriculturally suitable salts.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a substituted pyridine compound of formula

The substituted pyridine compounds of formula I according to the invention can be prepared by standard processes of organic chemistry, for example by the following processes:

Pyridinecarboxylic acids of the formula II can be reacted with sulfonyl compounds of the formula III to give compounds of the formula IV. In the formulae II and III, the variables have the meaning given for formula I. The group Hal is a halogen atom or another suitable nucleophilic leaving group, such as alkoxy or phenoxy.

This reaction is usually carried out at temperatures of from -78°C to 120°C, preferably from -20°C to 50°C, in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a base, such as, for example, triethylamine (cf. J. Agric. and Food Chem. 1994, 42(4), 1019-1025), a catalyst, such as, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (cf. Egyptian Journal of Chem- istry 1994, 37(3), 273-282) or other known coupling agents.

Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, 0-, m- and p-xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and chloro- benzene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, diox- ane, anisole and tetrahydrofuran (THF), nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and tert-butyl methyl ketone, and also dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethylacetamide, particularly preferably halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloro- form and chlorobenzene. It is also possible to use mixtures of the solvents mentioned. Suitable bases are, in general, inorganic compounds, such as lithium oxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide and magnesium oxide, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydrides, such as lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride and calcium hydride, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, po- tassium carbonate and calcium carbonate, and also alkali metal bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate, organometallic compounds, in particular alkali metal alkyls, such as methyllithium, butyllithium and phenyllithium, alkylmagnesium halides, such as me- thylmagnesium chloride, and also alkali metal and alkaline earth metal alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide and dimethoxymagnesium, moreover organic bases, for example tertiary amines, such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, diisopropylethylamine and N- methylpiperidine, pyridine, substituted pyridines, such as collidine, lutidine and

4-dimethylaminopyridine, and also bicyclic amines. Particular preference is given to tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, diisopropyl- ethylamine and alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate and calcium carbonate. The bases are generally employed in equimolar amounts; however, they can also be used in catalytic amounts, in excess or, if appropriate, as solvents.

The starting materials are generally reacted with one another in equimolar amounts. The compounds of the formula IV are activated by introducing a leaving group L ¹ . Suitable leaving groups L ¹ are, in general, groups which increase the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group, for example O-alkyl, O-aryl, halides, activated esters or aldehydes (such as, for example, Weinreb amide), in particular pentafluorophenoxy.

This reaction is usually carried out at temperatures of from -78°C to 120°C, preferably from -20°C to 50°C, in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a base, such as, for example, triethylamine (cf. J. Agric. and Food Chem. 1994, 42(4), 1019-1025), a catalyst, such as, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (cf. Egyptian Journal of Chemistry 1994, 37(3), 273-282) or other known coupling agents.

Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, o-, m- and p-xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and chloroben- zene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, dioxane, anisole and tetrahydrofuran, nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and tert-butyl methyl ketone, and also dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, particularly preferably methylene chloride and toluene. It is also possible to use mixtures of the solvents mentioned.

Suitable bases are, in general, inorganic compounds, such as alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides, such as lithium oxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide and mag- nesium oxide, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydrides, such as lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride and calcium hydride, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate and calcium carbonate, and also alkali metal bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate, organometal- lic compounds, in particular alkali metal alkyls, such as methyllithium, butyllithium and phenyllithium, alkylmagnesium halides, such as methylmagnesium chloride, and also alkali metal and alkaline earth metal alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide and dimethoxymagnesium, moreover organic bases, for example tertiary amines, such as trimethylamine, triethyl- amine, tributylamine, diisopropylethylamine and N-methylpiperidine, pyridine, substi- tuted pyridines, such as collidine, lutidine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and also bicyclic amines. Particular preference is given to alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate. The bases are generally employed in catalytic amounts; however, they can also be used in equimolar amounts, in excess or, if appropriate, as solvents.

The starting materials are generally reacted with one another in equimolar amounts. Suitable agents H-L ¹ are alcohols, optionally subst. phenols, Ν,Ο-dialkylhydroxyl- amine, in particular pentafluorophenol or Ν,Ο-dimethylhydroxylamine. The compounds of the formula V are cyclized to give the compounds of the formula I.

This reaction is usually carried out at temperatures of from -78°C to 120°C, preferably from -20°C to 50°C, in an inert organic solvent in the presence of a base or a Lewis acid or a catalyst [cf. Silverman, Richard B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1981 , 103(13), 3910]. Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane and petroleum ether, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, o-, m- and p-xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and chloro- benzene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, diox- ane, anisole and tetrahydrofuran, nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and tert-butyl methyl ketone, and also dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, particularly preferably acetonitrile and dimethylformamide. It is also possible to use mixtures of the solvents mentioned.

Suitable bases are, in general, inorganic compounds, such as alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides, such as lithium oxide, sodium oxide, calcium oxide and magnesium oxide, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydrides, such as lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride and calcium hydride, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate, and also alkali metal bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate, organometallic compounds, in particular alkali metal alkyls, such as methyllithium, butyllithium and phenyllithium, alkylmagnesium halides, such as me- thylmagnesium chloride, and also alkali metal and alkaline earth metal alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide and dimethoxymagnesium, moreover organic bases, for example tertiary amines, such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, diisopropylethylamine and N-methyl- piperidine, pyridine, substituted pyridines, such as collidine, lutidine and

4-dimethylaminopyridine, and also bicyclic amines. Particular preference is given to alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as lithium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, cesium carbonate and rubidium carbonate.

The bases are generally employed in catalytic amounts; however, they can also be used in equimolar amounts, in excess or, if appropriate, as solvents.

The starting materials are generally reacted with one another in equimolar amounts. Alternatively, the compounds of the formula I can also be obtained via a reverse reaction sequence, i.e. the reaction of the compounds of the formula II with compounds H-L ¹ gives the activated derivatives of the formula VI.

Per se, this reaction is carried out under the conditions mentioned for the reaction of the compound of formula IV with H-L ¹ .

The compounds of the formula VI can then be reacted with compounds III to give the derivatives of the formula V.

Per se, this reaction is carried out under the conditions mentioned for the reaction of the compound of the formula II with the compound of the formula III.

The sulfonic acid derivatives of the formula III are known or can be prepared from correspondingly substituted benzoic acids or benzylhalides on the basis of syntheses known in the literature [cf. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2008), 51 (12), 3388-3413. Organic Letters (2008), 10(14), 3073-3076. Synthesis (2006), (24), 4131 -4134.]. Suitably substituted benzoic acids and halobenzenes are known, for example from: WO 2002/00621 1 , WO 2009/058237, WO 98/52926, WO 96/26193, EP-A 352 543, WO 98/52926, WO 97/30986, WO 98/12180. The reaction mixtures are worked up in a customary manner, for example by mixing with water, separating the phases and, if appropriate, chromatographic purification of the crude products. Some of the intermediates and end products are obtained in the form of colorless or slightly brownish viscous oils which are purified or freed from volatile components under reduced pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. If the intermediates and end products are obtained as solids, the purification can also be carried out by recrystallization or digestion.

If individual compounds I cannot be obtained by the routes described above, they can be prepared by derivatization of other compounds I.

If the synthesis yields mixtures of isomers, a separation is generally however not nec- essarily required since in some cases the individual isomers can be interconverted during work-up for use or during application (for example under the action of light, acids or bases). Such conversions may also take place after application, for example in the case of the treatment of plants in the treated plant or in the harmful plant to be controlled.

The compounds I are suitable as herbicides. They are suitable as such or as an appropriately formulated composition (herbicidal composition). As used in this application, the terms "formulated composition" and "herbicidal composition" are synonyms.

The herbicidal compositions comprising the compounds of formula I control vegetation on non-crop areas very efficiently, especially at high rates of application. They act against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds in crops such as wheat, rice, maize, soya and cotton without causing any significant damage to the crop plants. This effect is mainly observed at low rates of application.

Depending on the application method in question, the compounds I or compositions comprising them can additionally be employed in a further number of crop plants for eliminating undesirable plants. Examples of suitable crops are the following:

Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Arachis hypogaea, Asparagus officinalis, Avena sativa, Beta vulgaris spec, altissima, Beta vulgaris spec, rapa, Brassica napus var. napus, Brassica napus var. napobrassica, Brassica rapa var. silvestris, Brassica oleracea, Brassica nigra, Camellia sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius, Carya illinoinensis, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Coffea arabica (Coffea canephora, Coffea liberica), Cucumis sativus, Cynodon dactylon, Daucus carota, Elaeis guineensis, Fragaria vesca, Glycine max, Gossypium hirsutum, (Gossypium arboreum, Gossypium herbaceum, Gossypium vitifolium), Helianthus annuus, Hevea brasiliensis, Hordeum vulgare, Humulus lupulus, Ipomoea batatas, Juglans regia, Lens culinaris, Linum usitatissimum, Lycopersicon lycopersicum, Malus spec, Manihot esculenta, Medicago sativa, Musa spec, Nicotiana tabacum (N.rustica), Olea europaea, Oryza sativa, Phaseolus lunatus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Picea abies, Pinus spec, Pistacia vera, Pisum sativum, Prunus avium, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Prunus armeniaca, Prunus cerasus, Prunus dulcis and

The compositions / compunds of formula I according to the invention can also be used in genetically modified plants. The term "genetically modified plants" is to be understood as plants whose genetic material has been modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques to include an inserted sequence of DNA that is not native to that plant species' genome or to exhibit a deletion of DNA that was native to that species' genome, wherein the modification(s) cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, muta- genesis or natural recombination alone. Often, a particular genetically modified plant will be one that has obtained its genetic modification(s) by inheritance through a natural breeding or propagation process from an ancestral plant whose genome was the one directly treated by use of a recombinant DNA technique. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-translational modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides, e. g., by inclusion therein of amino acid mutation(s) that permit, decrease, or promote glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylation, acetylation farnesyla- tion, or PEG moiety attachment.

Plants that have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e.g. have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as auxin herbicides such as dicamba or 2,4-D; bleacher herbicides such as hydroxy- phenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors or phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors such as sulfonyl ureas or imidazolinones; enolpyruvyl shikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSP) inhibitors such as glyphosate; glutamine synthetase (GS) inhibitors such as glufosinate; protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitors; lipid biosynthesis inhibitors such as acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors; or oxynil (i. e. bromoxynil or ioxynil) herbicides as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering; furthermore, plants have been made resistant to multiple classes of herbicides through multiple genetic modifications, such as resistance to both glyphosate and glufosinate or to both glyphosate and a herbicide from another class such as ALS inhibitors, HPPD inhibitors, auxin herbicides, or AC- Case inhibitors. These herbicide resistance technologies are, for example, described in Pest Management Science 61 , 2005, 246; 61 , 2005, 258; 61 , 2005, 277; 61 , 2005, 269; 61 , 2005, 286; 64, 2008, 326; 64, 2008, 332; Weed Science 57, 2009, 108; Australian Journal of Agricultural Research 58, 2007, 708; Science 316, 2007, 1 185; and references quoted therein. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbi- cides by mutgenesis and conventional methods of breeding, e. g., Clearfield® summer rape (Canola, BASF SE, Germany) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e. g., imazamox, or ExpressSun® sunflowers (DuPont, USA) being tolerant to sulfonyl ureas, e. g., tribenuron. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides such as gly- phosate, imidazolinones and glufosinate, some of which are under development or commercially available under the brands or trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate tolerant, Monsanto, USA), Cultivance® (imidazolinone tolerant, BASF SE, Germany) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate tolerant, Bayer CropScience, Germany). Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus Bacillus, particularly from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as delta- endotoxins, e. g., CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CrylF, CrylF(a2), CryllA(b), CrylllA, CrylllB(bl ) or Cry9c; vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e. g., VIP1 , VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecti- cidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, e. g., Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhab- dus spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such as Strepto- mycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxy-steroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin receptors); stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood ex- pressly also as including pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, e. g., WO 02/015701 ). Further examples of such toxins or genetically modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are disclosed, e. g., in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/18810 und WO 03/52073. The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e. g., in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxo- nomic groups of arthropods, especially to beetles (Coeloptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and moths (Lepidoptera) and to nematodes (Nematoda). Genetically modified plants capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins are, e. g., described in the publications mentioned above, and some of which are commercially available such as YieldGard® (corn cultivars producing the CrylAb toxin), YieldGard® Plus (corn cultivars producing CrylAb and Cry3Bb1 toxins), Starlink® (corn cultivars producing the Cry9c toxin), Herculex® RW (corn cultivars producing Cry34Ab1 , Cry35Ab1 and the enzyme Phosphinothricin-N-Acetyltransferase [PAT]); NuCOTN® 33B (cotton cultivars producing the CrylAc toxin), Bollgard® I (cotton cultivars producing the CrylAc toxin), Bollgard® II (cotton cultivars producing CrylAc and Cry2Ab2 toxins); VIPCOT® (cotton cultivars producing a VIP-toxin); NewLeaf® (potato cultivars producing the Cry3A toxin); Bt-Xtra®, NatureGard®, KnockOut®, BiteGard®, Protecta®, Bt1 1 (e. g., Agrisure® CB) and Bt176 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France, (corn cultivars producing the CrylAb toxin and PAT enzyme), MIR604 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France (corn cultivars producing a modified version of the Cry3A toxin, c.f. WO 03/018810), MON 863 from Monsanto Europe S.A., Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry3Bb1 toxin), IPC 531 from Monsanto Europe S.A., Belgium (cotton cultivars producing a modified version of the CrylAc toxin) and 1507 from Pioneer Overseas Corporation, Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry1 F toxin and PAT enzyme). Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the resistance or tolerance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PR proteins, see, e.g., EP-A 392 225), plant disease resistance genes (e. g., potato culti-vars, which express resistance genes acting against Phytophthora infestans derived from the Mexican wild potato, Solanum bulbocastanum) or T4-lyso-zym (e.g., potato cultivars capable of synthesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as Erwinia amylovora). The methods for producing such genetically modi-fied plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e.g., in the publications mentioned above.

Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA tech- niques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e.g., bio-mass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), tolerance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environmental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants. Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of ingredients or new ingredients, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, e. g., oil crops that produce health-promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e. g., Nexera® rape, Dow AgroSciences, Canada).

Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of ingredients or new ingredients, specifically to improve raw material production, e.g., potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).

Furthermore, it has been found that the compounds of the formula I are also suitable for the defoliation and/or desiccation of plant parts, for which crop plants such as cotton, potato, oilseed rape, sunflower, soybean or field beans, in particular cotton, are suitable. In this regard, compositions for the desiccation and/or defoliation of plants, processes for preparing these compositions and methods for desiccating and/or defoliating plants using the compounds of the formula I have been found.

As desiccants, the compounds of the formula I are particularly suitable for desiccating the above-ground parts of crop plants such as potato, oilseed rape, sunflower and soybean, but also cereals. This makes possible the fully mechanical harvesting of these important crop plants.

Also of economic interest is to facilitate harvesting, which is made possible by concentrating within a certain period of time the dehiscence, or reduction of adhesion to the tree, in citrus fruit, olives and other species and varieties of pernicious fruit, stone fruit and nuts. The same mechanism, i.e. the promotion of the development of abscission tissue between fruit part or leaf part and shoot part of the plants is also essential for the controlled defoliation of useful plants, in particular cotton.

Moreover, a shortening of the time interval in which the individual cotton plants mature leads to an increased fiber quality after harvesting. The compounds I, or the herbicidal compositions comprising the compounds I, can be used, for example, in the form of ready-to-spray aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, also highly concentrated aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, materials for broadcasting, or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading, watering or treatment of the seed or mixing with the seed. The use forms depend on the intended purpose; in any case, they should ensure the finest possible distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention.

The herbicidal compositions comprise an herbicidal effective amount of at least one compound of the formula I and auxiliaries which are customary for the formulation of crop protection agents.

Examples of auxiliaries customary for the formulation of crop protection agents are inert auxiliaries, solid carriers, surfactants (such as dispersants, protective colloids, emulsifiers, wetting agents and tackifiers), organic and inorganic thickeners, bactericides, antifreeze agents, antifoams, optionally colorants and, for seed formulations, adhesives.

The person skilled in the art is sufficiently familiar with the recipes for such formula- tions.

Examples of thickeners (i.e. compounds which impart to the formulation modified flow properties, i.e. high viscosity in the state of rest and low viscosity in motion) are polysaccharides, such as xanthan gum (Kelzan® from Kelco), Rhodopol® 23 (Rhone Poulenc) or Veegum® (from R.T. Vanderbilt), and also organic and inorganic sheet minerals, such as Attaclay® (from Engelhardt).

Examples of antifoams are silicone emulsions (such as, for example, Silikon ^® SRE, Wacker or Rhodorsil® from Rhodia), long-chain alcohols, fatty acids, salts of fatty acids, organofluorine compounds and mixtures thereof.

Bactericides can be added for stabilizing the aqueous herbicidal formulations. Examples of bactericides are bactericides based on diclorophen and benzyl alcohol hemiformal (Proxel® from ICI or Acticide® RS from Thor Chemie and Kathon® MK from Rohm & Haas), and also isothiazolinone derivates, such as alkylisothiazolinones and benzisothiazolinones (Acticide MBS from Thor Chemie).

Powders, materials for broadcasting and dusts can be prepared by mixing or concomitant grinding the active ingredients together with a solid carrier. Granules, for example coated granules, impregnated granules and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers.

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 compounds of the formula I, either as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetting agent, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is also possible to prepare concentrates comprising active compound, wetting agent, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if desired, solvent or oil, which are suitable for dilution with water.

The concentrations of the compounds of the formula I in the ready-to-use preparations (formulations) can be varied within wide ranges. In general, the formulations comprise approximately from 0.001 to 98% by weight, preferably 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% (according to NMR spectrum). In the formulation of the compound of formula I according to the present invention the active ingredients, e.g. the compounds of formula I, are present in suspended, emulsified or dissolved form. The formulation according to the invention can be in the form of aqueous solutions, powders, suspensions, also highly-concentrated aqueous, oily or other suspensions or dispersions, aqueous emulsions, aqueous microemulsions, aqueous suspo-emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, materials for spreading or granules.

Aqueous use forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, suspensions, pastes, wettable powders or water-dispersible granules by adding water. The compounds of the formula I or the herbicidal compositions comprising them can be applied pre-, post-emergence or pre-plant, or together with the seed of a crop plant. It is also possible to apply the herbicidal composition or active compounds by applying seed, pretreated with the herbicidal compositions or active compounds, of a crop plant. 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 as far as possible they do not come into contact with the leaves of the sensitive crop plants, while the active ingredients reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing underneath, or the bare soil surface (post- directed, lay-by).

In a further embodiment, the compounds of the formula I or the herbicidal compositions can be applied by treating seed. The treatment of seeds comprises essentially all procedures familiar to the person skilled in the art (seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking, seed film coating, seed multilayer coating, seed encrusting, seed dripping and seed pelleting) based on the compounds of the formula I according to the invention or the compositions prepared therefrom. Here, the herbicidal compositions can be applied diluted or undiluted.

The term "seed" comprises seed of all types, such as, for example, corns, seeds, fruits, tubers, seedlings and similar forms. Here, preferably, the term seed describes corns and seeds.

The seed used can be seed of the useful plants mentioned above, but also the seed of transgenic plants or plants obtained by customary breeding methods.

The rates of application of the active compounds of formula I according to the present invention (total amount of compounds I) are from 0.1 g/ha to 3000 g/ha, preferably 10 g/ha to 1000 g/ha of active substance (a.s.), depending on the control target, the season, the target plants and the growth stage.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the application rates of the compounds of formula I are in the range from 0.1 g/ha to 5000 g/ha and preferably in the range from 1 g/ha to 2500 g/ha or from 5 g/ha to 2000 g/ha of active substance (a.s.).

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the application rate of the compounds of formula I is 0.1 to 1000 g/ha, preferablyl to 750 g/ha, more preferably 5 to 500 g/ha, of active substance. To treat the seed, the compounds I are generally employed in amounts of from 0.001 to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed. To widen the spectrum of action and to achieve synergistic effects, the compounds of the formula I may be mixed with a large number of representatives of other herbicidal or growth-regulating active ingredient groups and then applied concomitantly. Suitable components for mixtures are, for example, herbicides from the classes of the acetamides, amides, aryloxyphenoxypropionat.es, benzamides, benzofuran, benzoic acids, benzothiadiazinones, bipyridylium, carbamates, chloroacetamides,

It may furthermore be beneficial to apply the compounds of the formula I alone or in combination with other herbicides, or else in the form of a mixture with other crop protection agents, for example together with agents for controlling pests or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Also of interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions, which are employed for treating nutritional and trace element deficiencies. Other additives such as non-phytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.

Example 1 : Preparation of 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-(ethylideneamino)-6-methyl-2,2- dioxo-oxathiin-4-ol (see compound I-5 in the Table I below)

Compound I-5

To a solution of (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanesulfonyl chloride (commercial; 1.3 g, 5.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 ml) was added (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-3- hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylate (see WO 2010/049270; 1 .5 g, 6.9 mmol) and than potassium carbonate (8.3 g, 60 mmol) at room temperature under nitrogen. After stirring at 22°C for 40 min the resulting suspension was moved to a 50°C oil bath and stirred for 16 h.The mixture was filtered and acidified to pH 1 . The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concen- trated to give the crude product. It was purified by preparative HPLC to give 3-(2,4- dichlorophenyl)-5-(ethylideneamino)-6-methyl-2,2-dioxo-oxath iin-4-ol (422mg) as a colorless solid.

II. Use examples

The herbicidal activity of the compunds of the formula I was demonstrated by the following greenhouse experiments: The culture containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% of humus as the substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species.

For the pre-emergence treatment, the active ingredients, which had been 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 transparent plastic hoods until the plants had rooted. This cover caused uniform germination of the test plants, unless this has been impaired 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 had been suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants were either sown directly and grown in the same containers, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to treatment.

Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10-25°C or 20-35°C. 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 carried out using a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants, or complete destruction of at least the aerial moieties, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of growth. A good herbicidal activity is given at values of at least 70 and a very good herbicidal activity is given at values of at least 85.

The plants used in the greenhouse experiments belonged to the following species

At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compounds 1-1 , I-2, I-3, I-6 and I-7, applied by the post-emergence method, showed very good herbicidal activity against AMARE. At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compound I-4, applied by the post-emergence method, showed good herbicidal activity against AMARE. At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compounds 1-1 , I-2, I-3, I-4, I-6 and I-7, applied by the post-emergence method, showed very good herbicidal activity against CHEAL. At an application rate of 0.25 kg/ha, the compound I-6, applied by the post-emergence method, showed very good herbicidal activity (value of 98) against IPOHE, PHACA and THLAR.
