[0020] In another specific implementation, X represents O; Y represents CR7R8.

[0021] In the definitions of compounds shown in the above general formulas and in all the following structural formulas, the technical terms used, whether alone or in compound terms, represent the following substituents: alkyl groups having more than two carbon atoms can be straight-chain or branched. For example, in the compound term "cycloalkylalkyl," the alkyl group can be -CH2-, -CH2CH2-, -CH(CH3)-, -C(CH3)2-, etc. The alkyl group is, for example, C1 alkyl-methyl; C2 alkyl-ethyl; C3 alkyl-propyl such as n-propyl or isopropyl; C4 alkyl-butyl such as n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, or 2-butyl; C5 alkyl-pentyl such as n-pentyl; C6 alkyl-hexyl such as n-hexyl, isohexyl, and 1,3-dimethylbutyl. Similarly, alkenyl groups are, for example, vinyl, allyl, 1-methylprop-2-en-1-yl, 2-methylprop-2-en-1-yl, but-2-en-1-yl, but-3-en-1-yl, 1-methylbut-3-en-1-yl, and 1-methylbut-2-en-1-yl. Alkynyl groups are, for example, ethynyl, propynyl, but-2-yn-1-yl, but-3-yn-1-yl, and 1-methylbut-3-yn-1-yl. Multiple bonds can be one or more, and can be in any position in each unsaturated group. Cycloalkyl groups are carbocyclic saturated ring systems having, for example, three to six carbon atoms, such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl. Similarly, cycloalkenyl groups are monocyclic alkenyl groups having, for example, three to six carbon ring members, such as cyclopropenyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentenyl, and cyclohexenyl, wherein double bonds can be in any position. Halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the term "aryl" in this invention includes, but is not limited to, phenyl, naphthyl, and... The "heterocyclic group" includes, but is not limited to, saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic cyclic groups. And, including but not limited to, heteroaryl groups, i.e., aromatic cyclic groups containing, for example, 3 to 6 ring atoms and optionally fused with benzo[a] rings, wherein 1 to 4 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatoms are selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, for example

[0023] The terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the event or situation described below may or may not occur, and the description includes instances where said event or situation occurs and instances where said event or situation does not occur. For example, the term "optionally...substituted" means that the specified atom or group is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents. If a group is substituted by a group, this should be understood to mean that the group is substituted by one or more groups, either the same or different, selected from those groups mentioned. Furthermore, the same or different substitution characters contained in the same or different substituents are chosen independently and may be the same or different. This also applies to ring systems formed from different atoms and units. Meanwhile, the scope of the claims excludes compounds that are chemically unstable under standard conditions, as known to those skilled in the art.

[0024] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the phrase "replaced by at least one group" in this invention refers to being replaced by, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 groups; groups without specific attachment positions (including heterocyclic groups, aryl groups, etc.) can be attached at any position, including positions attached to C or N; if it is substituted, the substituent can also be substituted at any position, as long as it conforms to the rules of chemical bond attachment. For example, a heteroaryl group substituted by one methyl group. Can represent The invention also includes any ketone and enol tautomer forms, mixtures thereof, and salts, provided that various functional groups are present.

[0025] Stereoisomers can be obtained from mixtures prepared by optical resolution. Similarly, stereoisomers can be selectively prepared using stereoselective reactions and optically active starting materials and / or auxiliaries. For optical resolution, conventional methods (see Textbooks of Stereochemistry) can generally be used, such as physical methods for resolving mixtures into diastereomers, including crystallization, chromatography, especially column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, distillation under reduced pressure as needed, extraction, and other methods, typically employing chromatographic separation on a chiral solid phase, which can separate the residual mixture of enantiomers. Suitable for preparative or industrial scales are methods such as crystallizing diastereomers, which can be obtained from the compound using optically active acids, and, if acidic groups are present, using optically active bases as needed.

[0026] The method for preparing a fused heterocyclic compound includes the following steps:

[0027] The compound represented by general formula II reacts with the compound represented by general formula III to give the compound represented by general formula I. The reaction equation is as follows:

[0028] The definitions of substituents R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, X, and Y are as described above.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base and a solvent.

[0030] In another specific embodiment, the base is selected from at least one of inorganic bases (such as K2CO3, Na2CO3, Cs2CO3, NaHCO3, KF, CsF, KI, NaI, KOAc, AcONa, K3PO4, t-BuONa, EtONa, NaOH, KOH, NaOMe, NaH, KH, etc.) or organic bases (such as DMAP, pyrazole, triethylamine, DIEA, etc.).

[0031] In another specific embodiment, the solvent is selected from at least one of aromatic hydrocarbons (such as benzene, chlorobenzene or toluene), DMF, DMA, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, dichloroethane, DMSO, dioxane, dichloromethane, toluene or ethyl acetate.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, (1) the compound represented by general formula II is prepared by reacting the compound represented by general formula IV and the compound represented by general formula V, and the reaction equation is as follows:

[0033] Or (2) The compound represented by general formula II is prepared by reacting the compound represented by general formula VI and the compound represented by general formula VII, and the reaction equation is as follows:

[0034] Wherein, W independently represents C1-C6 alkyl, aryl or aryl C1-C6 alkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by any group selected from alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, haloalkyl or cyano.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the reaction (1) is carried out under acidic conditions.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the reaction (2) is carried out in the presence of a solvent and a base.

[0037] In another specific embodiment, the acid is selected from at least one of inorganic acids (such as HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, H2SO3, H2CO3, HNO3, H3PO4, H3PO3, H2S, etc.) or organic acids (such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc.).

[0038] In another specific embodiment, the base is selected from at least one of inorganic bases (such as K2CO3, Na2CO3, Cs2CO3, NaHCO3, KF, CsF, KI, NaI, KOAc, AcONa, K3PO4, t-BuONa, EtONa, NaOH, KOH, NaOMe, NaH, KH, etc.) or organic bases (such as DMAP, pyrazole, triethylamine, DIEA, etc.).

[0039] In another specific embodiment, the solvent is selected from at least one of aromatic hydrocarbons (such as toluene, xylene), DMF, DMA, THF, acetonitrile, dichloroethane, DMSO, dioxane, dichloromethane, or ethyl acetate.

[0040] In addition, the compounds described in this invention can be prepared by referring to the methods shown in CN102762552B, etc.

[0041] The present invention also provides an intermediate, as shown in Formula II above.

[0042] A herbicide composition comprising at least one of the fused heterocyclic compounds in an effective amount for weed control; preferably, it further comprises a formulation adjuvant; more preferably, it further comprises other active ingredients.

[0043] A method for controlling weeds, comprising applying a herbicidal effective amount of at least one of the said fused heterocyclic compounds or the said herbicide composition to plants or weedy areas.

[0044] The use of at least one of the fused heterocyclic compounds or the herbicide composition in weed control, preferably, the use of the fused heterocyclic compounds in controlling weeds in useful crops, said useful crops being transgenic crops or crops treated with genome editing technology.

[0045] For many economically important monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous pests, the compounds of Formula I of this invention exhibit outstanding herbicidal activity. The active substances of this invention are also effective against perennial weeds that grow from rhizomes, rootstocks, or other perennial organs and are difficult to control. In this regard, it is generally not important whether the substance is used before sowing, before germination, or after germination. Representative examples of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed populations that can be controlled by the compounds of this invention are specifically mentioned, without limiting the specific species. Examples of weed species to which the active substances are effective include monocotyledons: annuals of *Oat*, *Lolium*, *Alopecurus*, *Fararis*, *Barnyardgrass*, *Digitaria*, *Setaria*, and *Sedge*, and perennials of *Agropyron*, *Cynodon*, *Imperata*, and *Sorghum*, as well as perennials of *Sedge*.

[0046] Regarding dicotyledonous weed species, its effects can be extended to annual species such as *Galium aparine*, *Viola*, *Veronica*, *Sesamum indicum*, *Stellaria*, *Amaranthus*, *Sinapis*, *Ipomoea*, *Heliotropium*, *Chaenomeles*, and *Abutilon*, and perennial weeds such as *Convolvulus*, *Thistle*, *Rumex*, and *Artemisia*. The active substances of this invention effectively control harmful plants such as barnyard grass, *Sagittaria*, *Alisma*, *Eupatorium*, *Sedum*, and *Sedge* under the undetermined condition of rice sowing. If the compounds of this invention are applied to the soil surface before germination, weed seedlings can be completely prevented before they emerge, or growth can be stopped when the weeds develop cotyledons, eventually leading to their complete death after three to four weeks. The compounds of this invention exhibit particularly excellent activity against the following plants: *Apira*, *Sesamum indicum*, *Polygonum cuspidatum*, *Stellaria*, *Veronica ivy*, *Veronica arabiculata*, *Viola tricolor* and *Amaranthus*, *Galium aparine*, and *Kochia scoparia*.

[0047] While the compounds of this invention exhibit excellent herbicidal activity against both monocot and dicot weeds, they cause little to no damage to important economic crops such as wheat, barley, rye, rice, corn, sugar beets, cotton, and soybeans. They are particularly compatible with cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, and corn, especially wheat. Therefore, the compounds of this invention are highly suitable for the selective control of unwanted plants in agricultural or ornamental crops.

[0048] Due to their herbicidal properties, these active substances can be used to control harmful plants in known or future genetically engineered plant cultivation. Transgenic plants typically possess superior traits, such as resistance to specific pesticides, particularly herbicides, and resistance to plant diseases or pathogenic microorganisms, such as specific insects or fungi, bacteria, or viruses. Other specific traits relate to conditions such as quantity, quality, storage stability, composition, and special components of the product. Thus, it is known that transgenic plant products have increased starch content or improved starch quality or different fatty acid compositions.

[0049] The compounds of Formula I of the present invention, or salts thereof, are preferably used in the cultivation of economically important genetically modified crops and ornamental plants, such as cereals, including wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet, rice, cassava, and corn, or in the cultivation of sugar beets, cotton, soybeans, rapeseed, potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and other vegetable plants. The compounds of Formula I are preferably used as herbicides for the cultivation of useful plants that are resistant or have been genetically engineered to be resistant to the toxic effects of the herbicides.

[0050] Traditional methods for breeding plants with improved traits than known plants include, for example, conventional mating methods and mutant breeding. In other words, new plants with improved traits can be obtained using genetic engineering methods (see, for example, EP-0221044A, EP-0131624A). Several methods have been described, for example:

[0051] - To improve starch synthesis in plants, genetic engineering is used to modify crop plants (e.g., WO 92 / 11376, WO 92 / 14827, WO 91 / 19806);

[0052] - Transgenic crop plants resistant to specific herbicides, such as glufosinate-methyl (e.g., EP-0242236A, EP-0242246A), glyphosate-based herbicides (WO 92 / 00377), or sulfonylurea herbicides (EP-0257993A, US-5013659A);

[0053] - For example, genetically modified cotton plants can produce Bt toxins, which can defend against certain pests (EP-0142924A, EP-0193259A).

[0054] - A genetically modified crop plant with improved fatty acid composition (WO91 / 13972).

[0055] Many molecular biotechnologies for preparing transgenic plants with improved traits are known (see, for example, Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Amplification, Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York; or Winnacker, “Gene and Cloning,” VCH Weinheim, 2nd ed., 1996; or Christou, “Trends in Plant Science,” 1 (1996) 423-431). To perform genetic engineering operations, nucleic acid molecules may be introduced into plasmids, resulting in mutations or sequence alterations through DNA sequence recombination. Using standard methods, such as base substitution, removal of portions of the sequence, or addition of natural or synthetic sequences, can be employed. To link DNA fragments together, it is possible to attach conjugates or linkers to the fragments.

[0056] Plant cells containing reduced-activity gene products can be prepared by methods such as expressing at least one appropriate antisense RNA or sense RNA to achieve co-inhibition, or by expressing at least one appropriately constructed ribozyme that specifically cleaves the transcript of the aforementioned gene product.

[0057] For this purpose, it is possible to use a DNA molecule containing the entire coding sequence of the gene product, including any possible flanking sequences, or a DNA molecule containing only a portion of the coding sequence, which must be long enough to achieve an antisense effect in the cell. Alternatively, a sequence that is highly homologous to but not identical to the coding sequence of the gene product can also be used.

[0058] When nucleic acid molecules are expressed in plants, the synthesized proteins can be localized in any desired plant cell compartment. However, to localize in a specific compartment, it is possible, for example, to link the coding region to a DNA sequence to ensure localization at a specific location. These sequences are known to those 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).

[0059] Using known techniques, transgenic plant cells can be recombined into the entire plant. Transgenic plants can be any desired plant variety, i.e., monocots and dicots. In this way, it is possible to obtain transgenic plants with improved traits by overexpressing, inhibiting or suppressing homologous (=natural) genes or gene sequences, or by expressing heterologous (=external) genes or gene sequences.

[0060] When the active substances of this invention are used on genetically modified crops, in addition to the inhibitory effect on harmful plants observed in other crops, they often exhibit specific effects on the corresponding genetically modified crops. For example, they can improve or expand the range of weed control, improve the application rate, preferably combine the herbicide resistance of the genetically modified crop with the performance of the herbicide, and affect the growth and yield of the genetically modified crop. Therefore, this invention also provides the use of the compounds as herbicides to control harmful plants in genetically modified crop plants.

[0061] Furthermore, the compounds of this invention can significantly regulate crop growth. By modulating plant metabolism, these compounds can be used to directionally control plant components and promote harvesting, for example, by causing plant drying and dwarfing. They are also suitable for regulating and inhibiting unwanted plant growth without disrupting crop growth. Inhibiting plant growth plays a crucial role in many monocot and dicot crops because it can reduce or completely prevent lodging.

[0062] The compounds of the present invention can be applied using common formulations, including wettable powders, concentrated emulsions, sprayable solutions, powders, or granules. Thus, the present invention also provides herbicide compositions comprising compounds of formula I. Compounds of formula I can be formulated in various ways depending on typical biological and / or chemical physical parameters. Examples of suitable formulation choices include: wettable powders (WP), water-soluble powders (SP), water-soluble concentrates, concentrated emulsions (EC), emulsions such as oil dispersed in water and water dispersed in oil (EW), sprayable solutions, suspension concentrates (SC), dispersible oil suspensions (OD), suspensions diluted with oil or water, solutions miscible with oil, powders (DP), capsule suspensions (CS), seeddressing compositions, granules for broadcasting and soil application, spray granules, coating granules and absorbent granules, water-dispersible granules (WG), water-soluble granules (SG), ULV (ultra-low volume) formulations, microcapsules, and wax products. These individual formulation types are known and described in the following literature, for example, Winnacker-Küchler, “Chemische Techonologie” [Chemical Processes], Vol. 7, C. Hauser Verlag Munich, 4th ed. 1986; Wade van Valkenburg, “Pesticide Formulations”, Marcel Dekker, NY, 1973; K. Martens, “Spray Drying” Handbook, 3rd ed. 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd. London.

[0063] Necessary formulation adjuvants, such as inert substances, surfactants, solvents, and other additives, are also known and described in the following documents, for example, Watkins's "Handbook of Powder Diluents, Insecticides, and Carriers," 2nd ed., Darland, Caldwell, NJ; Hv01phen's "Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry," 2nd ed., J. Wiley and Sons, NY; C. Marsden's "Solvent Guide," 2nd ed., Interscience, NY 1963; McCutcheon's "Annual Report on Detergents and Emulsifiers," MC Publishing, Ridgewood, NJ; Sisley and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surfactants," Chemical Publishing, NY 1964; of [Ethylene oxide adduct surfactants], Wiss. Verlagagesell. Stuttgart 1976; Winnacker-Küchler, “Chemische Technologie” [Chemical Processes], Vol. 7, C. Hauser Verlag Munich, 4th edition 1986.

[0064] Wettable powders are uniformly dispersible in water and, in addition to the active ingredient, include diluents or inert substances, ionic and nonionic surfactants (wetting agents, dispersants), such as polyethoxyalkylphenols, polyethoxy fatty alcohols, polyoxyethyl aliphatic amines, fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ether sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl phenyl sulfonates, sodium lignosulfonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate, or sodium oleoylmethyl taurate. To prepare wettable powders, the active ingredient of the herbicide is finely ground, for example using common equipment such as hammer mills, fan mills, and jet mills, while adjuvants are mixed in simultaneously or sequentially.

[0065] Concentrated emulsions are prepared by dissolving active ingredients in an organic solvent, such as butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, or a mixture of higher-boiling aromatic compounds or hydrocarbons, and then adding one or more ionic and / or nonionic surfactants (emulsifiers). Examples of emulsifiers that can be used include, for example, calcium alkylaryl sulfonate of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, or nonionic emulsifiers such as fatty acid polyethylene glycol esters, alkyl aromatic polyethylene glycol ethers, fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers, propylene oxide-ethylene oxide condensation products, alkyl polyethers, sorbitan esters such as sorbitan fatty acid esters, or polyethylene oxide sorbitan esters such as polyethylene oxide sorbitan fatty acid esters.

[0066] The active substance and finely ground solid material are ground to obtain a powder. The solid material may be talc, natural clay such as kaolin, bentonite, and pyrophyllite, or diatomaceous earth. A water- or oil-based suspension may be prepared, for example, by wet grinding using a commercially available glass bead mill, with or without the addition of a surfactant of the other formulation type mentioned above.

[0067] Emulsions, such as oil-in-water (EW) emulsions, can be prepared using an aqueous organic solvent, a stirrer, a colloid mill, and / or a static mixer, and if necessary, by adding a surfactant of another formulation type as described above.

[0068] Granules can be prepared by spraying the active material onto an adsorbent and granulating it using an inert material, or by concentrating the active material onto the surface of a carrier such as sand or kaolinite and granulating it using a binder such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, or mineral oil. Suitable active materials can be granulated using methods for preparing fertilizer granules, and fertilizers can be mixed in if necessary. Aqueous suspension granules can be prepared using conventional methods such as spray-drying, fluidized bed granulation, disc granulation, mixing using a high-speed mixer, and extrusion without solid inert material.

[0069] For methods of preparing granules using grinding discs, fluidized beds, extruders, and spraying, see the following processes, for example, “Spray Drying Handbook,” 3rd edition, 1979, G. Goodwin Ltd., London; J.E. Browning, “Agglomeration,” Chemicals and Engineering, 1967, 147ff; “Perry’s Chemical Engineer’s Handbook,” 5th edition, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, 8–57. For information on formulations of crop protection products, see, for example, G.K. C. Lingman, “Weed Control as a Science,” John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1961, 181–96; and JD. F. Greyer, SAEvans, “Weed Control Handbook,” 5th edition, Blackwell Scientific Rublications, Oxford University Press, 1968, 101–103.

[0070] Agricultural chemical formulations typically contain 0.1% to 99%, particularly 0.1% to 95%, of active ingredient Formula I by weight. The concentration of active ingredient in wettable powders is, for example, from about 10% to 99% by weight, with the usual formulation components constituting the remainder to 100% by weight. The concentration of active ingredient in concentrated emulsions can be from about 1% to 90% by weight, preferably 5% to 80%. Powder formulations contain 1% to 30% active ingredient by weight, typically preferably 5% to 20% by weight; however, sprayable solutions contain about 0.05% to 80% by weight, preferably 2% to 50% by weight. The content of active ingredient in aqueous suspension granules depends primarily on whether the active ingredient is liquid or solid, and on the adjuvants, fillers, etc., used during granulation. The content of active ingredient in aqueous suspension granules is, for example, between 1% and 95% by weight, preferably between 10% and 80% by weight.

[0071] The formulation of the active substance may also include thickeners, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, penetrants, preservatives, antifreeze agents, solvents, fillers, carriers, colorants, defoamers, evaporation inhibitors, and pH and viscosity adjusters that are commonly used in all cases.

[0072] Based on these formulations, they may also be mixed with other pesticide active substances such as insecticides, acaricides, herbicides and fungicides, as well as with safeners, fertilizers and / or plant growth regulators. The mixing method may be pre-mixed or bottled.

[0073] Suitable active substances that can be mixed with the active substances of the present invention in compound formulations or tank-mixed formulations include, for example, known substances in the "World Encyclopedia of New Pesticide Varieties Technology", China Agricultural Science and Technology Press, 2010.9 and the literature cited herein.

[0074] When used, commercially available formulations are diluted in a common manner if necessary, such as with water for wettable powders, concentrated emulsions, suspensions, and granules suspended in water. Powders, granules for soil application, or solutions for broadcasting and spraying generally do not require further dilution with an inert substance before use. The required dosage of Formula I compound varies with external conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and the nature of the herbicide used. It can vary considerably, for example, from 0.001 to 1.0 kg ai / ha, or more active ingredient, but is preferably between 0.005 and 750 g ai / ha, particularly between 0.005 and 250 g ai / ha.
