Description

[0001] Substituted arylcarboxamides

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of herbicides, in particular to herbicides for the selective control of weeds and grass weeds in crops.

[0003] WO 2020 / 148175 and the documents cited therein describe herbicidally active benzoylamides. These benzoylamides can be substituted in the 3-position of the phenyl ring by a variety of different residues. However, the benzoylamides known from these documents do not always exhibit sufficient herbicidal activity and / or tolerance to crop plants.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide alternative herbicidally active ingredients. This object is achieved by the arylcarboxamides according to the invention described below, which bear a sulfur-containing radical linked via a methylene group in the 3-position of the phenyl ring and a haloalkoxy radical in the 4-position.

[0005] The present invention thus relates to arylcarboxamides of the formula (I) and their salts where the symbols and indices have the following meanings:

[0006] R x means (Ci-C6)-alkyl,

[0007] X is halogen or (Ci-Ce)-alkyl,

[0008] Y means halogen-(Ci-C6)-alkoxy,

[0009] Z means (Ci-Ce)-alkyl, (Cs-Cej-cycloalkyl, (C3-C6)-cycloalkyl-(Ci-C6)-alkyl or (Ci-Ce)-alkyl-

[0010] O-(Ci-C6)-alkyl, and n is 0, 1 or 2.

[0011] In formula (I) and all subsequent formulas, alkyl radicals with more than two carbon atoms can be straight-chain or branched. Alkyl radicals denote, for example, methyl, ethyl, n- or i-propyl, n-, i-, t- or 2-butyl, pentyls, hexyls, such as n-hexyl, i-hexyl and 1,3-dimethylbutyl. Analogously, alkenyl denotes, for example, allyl, l-methylprop-2-en-l-yl, 2-methyl-prop-2-en-l-yl, but-2-en-l-yl, but-3-en-l-yl, l-methyl-but-3-en-l-yl and l-methyl-but-2-en-l-yl. Alkynyl denotes, for example, propargyl, but-2-yn-l-yl, but-3-yn-l-yl, l-methyl-but-3-yn-l-yl. The multiple bond can be located in any position of the unsaturated residue. Cycloalkyl means a carbocyclic, saturated ring system with three to six carbon atoms, e.g., cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl. Halogen-substituted alkyl means straight-chain or branched alkyl groups, where the hydrogen atoms in these groups may be partially or completely replaced by halogen atoms, e.g.,C1-C2-haloalkyl such as chloromethyl, bromomethyl, dichloromethyl, trichloromethyl, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, chlorofluoromethyl, dichlorofluoromethyl, chlorodifluoromethyl, 1-chloroethyl, 1-bromoethyl, 1-fluoroethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, 2,2-difluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2-chloro-2-fluoroethyl, 2-chloro,2-difluoroethyl, 2,2,2-dichloro-2-fluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, pentafluoroethyl and 1,1,1-trifluoroprop-2-yl. Halogen stands for fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. The compounds of the general formula (I) or (II) can exist as stereoisomers depending on the nature and linkage of the substituents. For example, if one or more asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms are present, enantiomers and diastereomers can occur. Stereoisomers also occur when n is 1 (sulfoxides). Stereoisomers can be obtained from the mixtures obtained during production using conventional separation methods, for example, chromatographic separation techniques.Stereoisomers can also be selectively prepared by employing stereoselective reactions using optically active starting materials and / or auxiliaries. The invention also relates to all stereoisomers and mixtures thereof encompassed by the general formula (I) or (II) but not specifically defined. The compounds of formula (I) can form salts. Suitable bases are, for example, organic amines, such as trialkylamines, morpholine, piperidine, or pyridine, as well as ammonium, alkali, or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates, in particular sodium and potassium hydroxide, sodium and potassium carbonate, and sodium and potassium bicarbonate.These salts are compounds in which the acidic hydrogen is replaced by a cation suitable for agriculture, for example metal salts, in particular alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, in particular sodium and potassium salts, or also ammonium salts, salts with organic amines or quaternary ammonium salts, for example with cations of the formula [NRR´R´´R´´´]. +, wherein R to R''' each independently represent an organic radical, in particular alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkylaryl. Also suitable are alkylsulfonium and alkylsulfoxonium salts, such as (C1-C4)-trialkylsulfonium and (C1-C4)-trialkylsulfoxonium salts. The compounds of the formula (I) can form salts by addition of a suitable inorganic or organic acid, for example mineral acids such as HCl, HBr, H2SO4, H3PO4 or HNO3, or organic acids, e.g. carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid or salicylic acid or sulfonic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, to a basic group such as amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, piperidino, morpholino or pyridino. These salts then contain the conjugate base of the acid as an anion. Preferred compounds are those of the general formula (I), where the symbols and indices have the following meanings: R Xmeans (C1-C3)-alkyl, X means halogen or (C1-C3)-alkyl, Y means OCF3 or OCHF2, OCF2Me, Z means (C1-C4)-alkyl, (C3-C6)-cycloalkyl, (C3-C6)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C3)-alkyl or (C1-C3)-alkyl-O-(C1-C3)-alkyl, and n means 0, 1 or 2. Particular preference is given to compounds of the general formula (I) where the symbols and indices have the following meanings: R X means Me or Et, X means chlorine, bromine, Me or Et, Y means OCF3, OCHF2 or OCF2Me, Z means Me, Et, c-Pr, CH2-c-Pr or (CH2)2OMe, and n means 0, 1 or 2. The abbreviations used in the present application mean: Me: Methyl Et: Ethyl Ph: Phenyl Pr: Propyl c-Pr: Cyclopropyl i-Pr: Isopropyl Compounds of the formula (II) are novel and are very suitable as intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention. The present invention thus further relates to compounds of the formula (II), where the symbols and indices have the following meanings: L means halogen or R 2 O, R 2denotes hydrogen or (C1-C6)-alkyl, and n denotes 0, 1 or 2. Preferred compounds (II) are those in which L denotes chlorine, methoxy or hydroxy, X denotes chlorine, bromine, methyl or ethyl, Y denotes OCF3, OCHF2 or OCF2Me, Z denotes methyl, ethyl, c-propyl, CH2-c-propyl or (CH2)2OMe, and n denotes 0, 1 or 2. In all formulas mentioned below, the substituents and symbols, unless defined otherwise, have the same meaning as described under formula (I). Compounds according to the invention of the general formula (Ia), where n denotes 0, can be prepared, for example, by reacting the compounds according to the invention of the general formula (IIb: compounds II, where L = hydroxy) with substituted aminotetrazoles (as also described, for example, in WO2012 / 028579). N r'iIIi The compounds of the general formula (Ib) according to the invention with n = 1 or 2 can be prepared from compounds of the general formula (Ia) according to the invention by reaction with an oxidizing agent. The synthesis of the compounds of the general formulas (IIa) and (IIb) can be carried out, for example, according to the following scheme and methods known to the person skilled in the art: Collections of compounds of formula (I) and / or their salts, which can be synthesized by the above-mentioned reactions, can also be prepared in a parallelized manner, which can be done manually, partially automated, or fully automated. For example, it is possible to automate the reaction procedure, the workup, or the purification of the products or intermediates. This generally refers to a procedure such as that described, for example, by D. Tiebes in Combinatorial Chemistry – Synthesis, Analysis, Screening (editor Günther Jung), Wiley Publishers 1999, pages 1 to 34. A range of commercially available devices can be used for parallelized reaction execution and workup, for example, Calpyso reaction blocks (Caylpso reaction blocks) from Barnstead International, Dubuque, Iowa 52004-0797.USA or reaction stations from Radleys, Shirehill, Saffron Walden, Essex, CB 11 3AZ, England or MultiPROBE Automated Workstations from Perkin Elmar, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, USA. For the parallel purification of compounds of formula (I) and their salts or intermediates arising during their preparation, chromatography equipment is available, for example, from ISCO, Inc., 4700 Superior Street, Lincoln, NE 68504, USA. The listed equipment results in a modular approach in which the individual work steps are automated, but manual operations must be performed between the work steps. This can be circumvented by the use of partially or fully integrated automation systems.where the respective automation modules are operated, for example, by robots. Such automation systems can be purchased, for example, from Caliper, Hopkinton, MA 01748, USA. The execution of individual or multiple synthesis steps can be supported by the use of polymer-supported reagents / scavenger resins. A number of experimental protocols are described in the literature, for example, in ChemFiles, Vol. 4, No. 1.Polymer-Supported Scavengers and Reagents for Solution-Phase Synthesis (Sigma-Aldrich). In addition to the methods described here, the preparation of compounds of formula (I) and their salts can be carried out entirely or partially by solid-phase-supported methods. For this purpose, individual intermediates or all intermediates of the synthesis, or of a synthesis adapted for the respective procedure, are bound to a synthetic resin. Solid-phase-supported synthesis methods are adequately described in the specialist literature, e.g., Barry A. Bunin in "The Combinatorial Index", Academic Press, 1998, and Combinatorial Chemistry – Synthesis, Analysis, Screening (editor Günther Jung), Wiley, 1999. The use of solid-phase-supported synthesis methods allows for a number of well-known protocols.which in turn can be carried out manually or automatically. The reactions can be carried out, for example, using IRORI technology in microreactors from Nexus Biosystems, 12140 Community Road, Poway, CA 92064, USA. Both in the solid and liquid phase, the implementation of individual or multiple synthesis steps can be supported by the use of microwave technology. A number of experimental protocols are described in the specialist literature, for example in Microwaves in Organic and Medicinal Chemistry (editors C.O. Kappe and A. Stadler), Wiley Publishers, 2005. Preparation according to the processes described here yields compounds of formula (I) and their salts in the form of substance collections, called libraries. The present invention also relates to libraries,which contain at least two compounds of the formula (I) and salts thereof. The compounds according to the invention exhibit excellent herbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of economically important mono- and dicotyledonous annual weeds. Even difficult-to-control perennial weeds which sprout from rhizomes, rootstocks or other permanent organs are well controlled by the active ingredients. The present invention therefore also relates to a method for controlling undesirable plants or for regulating the growth of plants, preferably in plant crops, in which one or more compounds according to the invention are applied to the plants (e.g. weeds such as mono- or dicotyledonous weeds or undesirable crop plants), the seed (e.g. grains, seeds or vegetative propagation organs such as tubers or shoot parts with buds) or the area on which the plants grow (e.g. the cultivated area).The compounds according to the invention can be applied, for example, by pre-sowing (optionally also by incorporation into the soil), pre-emergence, or post-emergence methods. Some representatives of the monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed flora that can be controlled by the compounds according to the invention are mentioned as examples, without implying a restriction to specific species. Monocotyledonous harmful plants of the genera: Aegilops, Agropyron, Agrostis, Alopecurus, Apera, Avena, Brachiaria, Bromus, Cenchrus, Commelina, Cynodon, Cyperus, Dactyloctenium, Digitaria, Echinochloa, Eleocharis, Eleusine, Eragrostis, Eriochloa, Festuca, Fimbristylis, Heteranthera, Imperata, Ischaemum, Leptochloa, Lolium, Monochoria, Panicum, Paspalum, Phalaris, Phleum, Poa, Rottboellia, Sagittaria, Scirpus, Setaria and Sorghum. Dicotyledonous weeds of the genera: Abutilon, Amaranthus, Ambrosia, Anoda, Anthemis, Aphanes, Artemisia, Atriplex, Bellis, Bidens,Capsella, Carduus, Cassia, Centaurea, Chenopodium, Cirsium, Convolvulus, Datura, Desmodium, Emex, Erysimum, Euphorbia, Galeopsis, Galinsoga, Galium, Hibiscus, Ipomoea, Kochia, Lamium, Lepidium, Lindernia, Matricaria, Mentha, Mercurialis, Mullugo, Myosotis, Papaver, Pharbitis, Plantago, Polygonum, Portulaca, Ranunculus, Raphanus, Rorippa, Rotala, Rumex, Salsola, Senecio, Sesbania, Sida, Sinapis, Solanum, Sonchus, Sphenoclea, Stellaria, Taraxacum, Thlaspi, Trifolium, Urtica, Veronica, Viola and Xanthium. If the compounds according to the invention are applied to the soil surface before germination, either the emergence of weed seedlings is completely prevented or the weeds grow to the cotyledon stage,However, they then cease growth and finally die completely after three to four weeks. When the active ingredients are applied post-emergence to the green parts of the plant, growth stops after treatment and the weeds remain in the growth stage present at the time of application or die completely after a certain time, so that weed competition that is harmful to the crop plants is eliminated very early and sustainably. Although the compounds according to the invention have excellent herbicidal activity against mono- and dicotyledonous weeds, crops of economically important crops, e.g. dicotyledonous crops of the genera Arachis, Beta, Brassica, Cucumis, Cucurbita, Helianthus, Daucus, Glycine, Gossypium, Ipomoea, Lactuca, Linum, Lycopersicon, Miscanthus, Nicotiana, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Vicia, or monocotyledonous crops of the genera Allium, Ananas, Asparagus, Avena,Hordeum, Oryza, Panicum, Saccharum, Secale, Sorghum, Triticale, Triticum, Zea, especially Zea and Triticum, are only slightly damaged or not damaged at all, depending on the structure of the respective compound according to the invention and the application rate. For these reasons, the present compounds are very suitable for the selective control of unwanted plant growth in plant crops such as agricultural crops or ornamental plants. Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention, depending on their respective chemical structure and the application rate,They exhibit outstanding growth-regulating properties in crop plants. They regulate the plant's own metabolism and can thus be used to specifically influence plant components and facilitate harvesting, for example, by inducing desiccation and stunting. Furthermore, they are also suitable for the general control and inhibition of undesirable vegetative growth without killing the plants. Inhibition of vegetative growth plays a major role in many monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, as it can, for example, reduce or completely prevent lodging. Due to their herbicidal and plant growth-regulating properties, the active ingredients can also be used to control weeds in crops of plants modified genetically or through conventional mutagenesis. The transgenic plants are generally characterized by particularly advantageous properties,for example, through resistance to certain pesticides, especially certain herbicides, resistance to plant diseases or pathogens of plant diseases such as certain insects or microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria or viruses. Other special properties relate, for example, to the harvested product in terms of quantity, quality, storability, composition and special ingredients. For example, transgenic plants with increased starch content or altered starch quality or those with a different fatty acid composition of the harvested product are known. With regard to transgenic crops, the use of the compounds according to the invention is preferred in economically important transgenic crops of useful and ornamental plants, e.g. cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet, rice and maize or also crops of sugar beet, cotton, soybeans, rapeseed, potatoes, cassava, tomatoes,Peas and other vegetables. The compounds of the invention can preferably be used as herbicides in crops that are resistant to the phytotoxic effects of the herbicides or have been genetically engineered to be resistant. Conventional approaches to producing new plants that have modified properties compared to previously existing plants include, for example, classical breeding methods and the generation of mutants. Alternatively, new plants with modified properties can be produced using genetic engineering methods (see, for example, EP-A-0221044, EP-A-0131624). For example, several cases have been described: - genetic modifications of crop plants for the purpose of modifying the starch synthesized in the plants (e.g. WO 92 / 11376, WO 92 / 14827, WO 91 / 19806), - transgenic crop plants which are resistant to certain herbicides of the glufosinate type (cf. e.g. EP-A-0242236,EP-A-242246) or glyphosate (WO 92 / 00377) or sulfonylureas (EP-A-0257993, US-A-5013659), - transgenic crop plants, for example cotton, with the ability to produce Bacillus thuringiensis toxins (Bt toxins), which make the plants resistant to certain pests (EP-A-0142924, EP-A-0193259). - transgenic crop plants with a modified fatty acid composition (WO 91 / 13972). - genetically modified crop plants with new ingredients or secondary substances, e.g. B. new phytoalexins that cause increased disease resistance (EPA 309862, EPA0464461) - genetically modified plants with reduced photorespiration that exhibit higher yields and greater stress tolerance (EPA 0305398). - transgenic crops that produce pharmaceutically or diagnostically important proteins ("molecular pharming") - transgenic crops,that are characterized by higher yields or better quality - transgenic crops that are characterized by a combination of, for example, the above-mentioned new traits ("gene stacking"). Numerous molecular biological techniques with which new transgenic plants with modified traits can be produced are known in principle, see, for example, B. I. Potrykus and G. Spangenberg (eds.) Gene Transfer to Plants, Springer Lab Manual (1995), Springer Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg, or Christou, "Trends in Plant Science" 1 (1996) 423-431). For such genetic manipulations, nucleic acid molecules can be introduced into plasmids that allow mutagenesis or sequence modification through recombination of DNA sequences. Using standard procedures, base exchanges can be performed, for example.Partial sequences can be removed or natural or synthetic sequences can be added. Adapters or linkers can be attached to the fragments to connect them together, see, for example, Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, or Winnacker "Gene and Clones," VCH Weinheim, 2nd ed. 1996. The production of plant cells with reduced activity of a gene product can be achieved, for example, by expressing at least one corresponding antisense RNA, a sense RNA to achieve a cosuppression effect, or the expression of at least one appropriately constructed ribozyme that specifically cleaves transcripts of the aforementioned gene product. For this purpose, DNA molecules can be used that comprise the entire coding sequence of a gene product, including any flanking sequences present, as well as DNA molecules thatwhich only comprise parts of the coding sequence, whereby these parts must be long enough to produce an antisense effect in the cells. It is also possible to use DNA sequences that exhibit a high degree of homology to the coding sequences of a gene product, but are not completely identical. When nucleic acid molecules are expressed in plants, the synthesized protein can be localized in any compartment of the plant cell. However, to achieve localization in a specific compartment, the coding region can, for example, be linked to DNA sequences that ensure localization in a specific compartment. Such sequences are known to the person skilled in the art (see, for example, Braun et al., EMBO J.11 (1992), 3219-3227, Wolter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85 (1988), 846-850, Sonnewald et al., Plant J. 1 (1991),95-106). The expression of the nucleic acid molecules can also take place in the organelles of the plant cells. The transgenic plant cells can be regenerated into whole plants using known techniques. The transgenic plants can in principle be plants of any plant species, i.e. both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Thus, transgenic plants are obtainable which have altered properties through overexpression, suppression or inhibition of homologous (= natural) genes or gene sequences or expression of heterologous (= foreign) genes or gene sequences. The compounds according to the invention can preferably be used in transgenic cultures which are resistant to growth factors, such as, for example, dicamba, or to herbicides which inhibit essential plant enzymes, e.g. B. inhibit acetolactate synthases (ALS), EPSP synthases, glutamine synthases (GS) or hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases (HPPD), respectively against herbicides from the group of sulfonylureas,glyphosate, glufosinate or benzoyl isoxazole and analogous active ingredients. When the active ingredients according to the invention are used in transgenic crops, in addition to the effects on weeds observed in other crops, effects often occur that are specific to the application in the respective transgenic crop, for example a modified or specifically expanded weed spectrum that can be controlled, modified application rates that can be used for application, preferably good combinability with the herbicides to which the transgenic crop is resistant, and influence on the growth and yield of the transgenic crops. The invention therefore also relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention as herbicides for controlling weeds in transgenic crops. The compounds according to the invention can be used in the form of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, sprayable solutions,Dusts or granules in the usual preparations. The invention therefore also relates to herbicidal and plant growth regulating agents containing the compounds according to the invention. The compounds according to the invention can be formulated in various ways, depending on the biological and / or chemical-physical parameters specified. Possible formulation options include, for example: wettable powders (WP), water-soluble powders (SP), water-soluble concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW), such as oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, sprayable solutions, suspension concentrates (SC), oil- or water-based dispersions, oil-miscible solutions, capsule suspensions (CS), dusts (DP), seed dressings, granules for broadcast and soil application, granules (GR) in the form of microgranules, spray granules, coating granules, and adsorption granules, water-dispersible granules (WG), water-soluble granules (SG),ULV formulations, microcapsules, and waxes. These individual formulation types are known in principle and are described, for example, in: Winnacker-Küchler, "Chemical Technology," Volume 7, C. Hanser Verlag, Munich, 4th ed. 1986; Wade van Valkenburg, "Pesticide Formulations," Marcel Dekker, NY, 1973; and K. Martens, "Spray Drying" Handbook, 3rd ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd., London. The necessary formulation aids such as inert materials, surfactants, solvents and other additives are also known and are described, for example, in: Watkins, "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Darland Books, Caldwell NJ, Hv Olphen, "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry", 2nd Ed., J. Wiley & Sons, NY, C. Marsden, "Solvents Guide", 2nd Ed., Interscience, NY1963, McCutcheon's "Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publ. Corp., Ridgewood NJ, Sisley and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chem. Publ. Co. Inc., NY 1964, Schönfeldt,"Surface-active ethylene oxide adducts", Wiss. Verlagsgesell., Stuttgart 1976, Winnacker-Küchler, "Chemische Technologie", Volume 7, C. Hanser Verlag Munich, 4th ed. 1986. Wettable powders are preparations that are uniformly dispersible in water and contain, in addition to the active ingredient and a diluent or inert substance, ionic and / or non-ionic surfactants (wetting agents, dispersants), e.g., polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols, polyoxyethylated fatty amines, fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfates, alkanesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate, or sodium oleoylmethyltaurine. For the production of the wettable powders, the herbicidal active ingredients are, for example, milled in conventional equipment such as hammer mills,The mixtures are finely ground in blower mills and air jet mills and mixed simultaneously or subsequently with the formulation auxiliaries. Emulsifiable concentrates are produced by dissolving the active ingredient in an organic solvent, e.g., butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, or higher-boiling aromatics or hydrocarbons, or mixtures of organic solvents, with the addition of one or more ionic and / or non-ionic surfactants (emulsifiers). Examples of emulsifiers that can be used are: calcium salts of alkylarylsulfonic acid, such as Ca-dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 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 sorbitan fatty acid esters or polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters. Dusts are obtained by grinding the active ingredient with finely divided solid substances, e.g. talc, natural clays such as kaolin, bentonite and pyrophyllite, or diatomaceous earth. Suspension concentrates can be water- or oil-based. They can be produced, for example, by wet grinding using commercially available bead mills and, if necessary, with the addition of surfactants, as already listed above for the other formulation types. Emulsions, e.g. oil-in-water emulsions (EW), can be produced, for example, using stirrers, colloid mills and / or static mixers using aqueous organic solvents and, if necessary, surfactants, as already listed above for the other formulation types. Granules can be obtained either by spraying the active ingredient onto adsorptive,They can be produced from granulated inert material or by applying active ingredient concentrates to the surface of carrier materials such as sand, kaolinite, or granulated inert material using adhesives, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, or mineral oils. Suitable active ingredients can also be granulated in the manner customary for the production of fertilizer granules—if desired, mixed with fertilizers. Water-dispersible granules are generally produced using conventional processes such as spray drying, fluidized-bed granulation, disc granulation, mixing with high-speed mixers, and extrusion without solid inert material. For the production of disc, fluidized bed, extruder and spray granules see e.g. procedures in "Spray-Drying Handbook" 3rd ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd., London, JE Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical and Engineering 1967, pages 147 ff, "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill,New York 1973, pp. 8-57. For further details on the formulation of plant protection products, see, for example, GC Klingman, "Weed Control as a Science", John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1961, pages 81-96 and JD Freyer, SA Evans, "Weed Control Handbook", 5th Ed., Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford, 1968, pages 101-103. The agrochemical preparations generally contain 0.1 to 99% by weight, in particular 0.1 to 95% by weight, of compounds according to the invention. In wettable powders, the active ingredient concentration is, for example, about 10 to 90% by weight, the remainder to 100% by weight consisting of conventional formulation ingredients. In emulsifiable concentrates, the active ingredient concentration can be about 1 to 90, preferably 5 to 80% by weight. Dust-like formulations contain 1 to 30 wt.% active ingredient, preferably 5 to 20 wt.% active ingredient, sprayable solutions contain about 0.05 to 80,preferably 2 to 50 wt.% active ingredient. In water-dispersible granules, the active ingredient content depends partly on whether the active compound is liquid or solid and which granulation aids, fillers, etc. are used. In water-dispersible granules, the active ingredient content is, for example, between 1 and 95 wt.%, preferably between 10 and 80 wt.%. In addition, the active ingredient formulations mentioned may contain the usual adhesives, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, penetration agents, preservatives, antifreeze agents, and solvents, fillers, carriers, and dyes, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors, and agents that affect pH and viscosity. These formulations can also be used to produce combinations with other pesticidally active substances, such as insecticides, acaricides, herbicides, fungicides, as well as with safeners, fertilizers, and / or growth regulators.e.g. in the form of a ready-to-use formulation or as a tank mix. For application, the formulations available in commercial form are diluted, if necessary, in the usual way, e.g. in the case of wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dispersions and water-dispersible granules, with water. Dust-like preparations, soil or broadcast granules and sprayable solutions are not normally diluted with other inert substances before use. The required application rate of the compounds of formula (I) varies with external conditions such as temperature, humidity and the type of herbicide used, among others. It can vary within wide limits, e.g. between 0.001 and 1.0 kg / ha or more of active substance, but is preferably between 0.005 and 750 g / ha. The compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention can also be used as a mixture with other herbicides, if required.
