The preparation of compounds of Formula I can be accomplished using a wide variety of methods well known in the art. Some of the more general methods used to prepare these materials are described below in Equations 1 and 2.

Many of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the coupling reaction of sulfonyl isocyanates of Formula II with heterocyclic amines of Formula III as shown below in Equation 1. Equation 1 ##STR8## wherein, R, R.sub.1 R.sub.3, X, Y and Z are as previously defined; ##STR9## R.sub.13 is CN, SCN, W.sub.2 R.sub.16 ; and W.sub.2, R.sub.12, R.sub.13 and R.sub.16 are as previously defined.

A useful reference for this coupling reaction is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,394,506.

Sulfonyl isocyanates of Formula II can be prepared both from the corresponding sulfonamides of Formula V and the corresponding sulfonyl chloride of Formula VI using methods well known in the art. For a few representative examples of this process see: U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,621; Ulrich and Sayigh, Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, Vol. VI, pp. 223-241, Academic Press, New York and London, W. Roerst, Ed.; Japanese Patent No. 76/126,816; U.S. Pat. No. 4,394,506; and K. Kartke, Arch. Pharm., 299, 174 (1966).

A number of compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the reaction of N-phenylcarbamate derivatives of sulfonamides of Formula V with heterocyclic amines of Formula III. This method and the general procedure for the preparation of sulfonyl carbamates is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,443,245.

Compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the base catalyzed reaction of sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is H) with phenyl carbamates of Formula VII. This general method is widely described in the literature and a lead reference is found in EPO Publication No. 44807. Alternatively, compounds of Formula I can be prepared by the fluoride ion catalyzed coupling of N-t-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyldimethylsilyl) with phenyl carbamates of Formula VII as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,501 (Equation 2). ##STR10## wherein, R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, X, Y and Z are as previously defined.

With the diversity of functional groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 found in this invention, a variety of methods can be used for the preparation of the numerous combinations of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3. Fortunately, there are a vast number of general synthetic methods available in the literature that enable the preparation of these compounds. With this wealth of information, one skilled in the art would be able to discern the most appropriate synthetic method by taking into account the chemical compatability of the various groups with the reaction conditions.

Sulfonamides of Formula V can be prepared using a variety of methods well known in the art. One of the most direct preparations is the reaction of ammonia with sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VI with fully assembled R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 substituents. For two useful reviews see, F. Hawking and J. S. Lawrence, "The Sulfonamides." H. K. Lewis and Co., London, 1950 and E. H. Northey, "The Sulfonamides and Allied Compounds," Reinbold Publishing Corp., New York, 1948. These intermediates can then be used to prepare compounds of Formula I as described in Equation 2.

Sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VI with less elaborated R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 substituents can be either aminated with t-butylamine to produce N-t-butyl sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyl) (Equation 3a) or by ammonia followed by silylation to produce N-t-butyldimethylsilyl sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyldimethylsilyl) (Equation 3b). Both of these derivatives are useful intermediates which allow further modifications of the R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 substituents. ##STR11## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined.

After the R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 substituents have been assembled in the N-substituted sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl) these compounds are ready to be converted into the compounds of Formula I. The N-silylated sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyldimethylsilyl) can be used directly as described in Equation 2. While the N-t-butyl sulfonamides require deprotection by the action of trifluoroacetic acid before they can be taken on as described in Equation 2. The deprotection of these N-t-butyl sulfonamide derivatives is known in the literature and for an appropriate reference see: J. D. Catt and W. L. Matier, J. Org. Chem., 39, 566 (1974).

A few of the strategies used to elaborate the ring substituents of the N-substituted sulfonamide derivatives of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl) into the more complicated R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 groups are shown below in Equations 4 to 7.

In terms of the R.sub.2 substituents, three basic methods can be used to produce sulfonamides of Formula V:

A) From 4-methyl and ethyl precursors:

Most of the sulfonamides of Formula V in which the R.sub.2 substituents are substituted methyl or ethyl groups are derived from the nucleophilic displacement reaction of benzylic halides (or equivalent group) of Formula Vb and an appropriate nucleophile (Equation 4a). This type of process is extensively described in the literature, for references see: Hartshorn, "Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution," Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1973; Bunton, "Nucleophilic Substitutions at a Saturated Carbon Atom," American Elsevier Publishing Company, New York, 1963; and de la Mare and Swedlund, in Patai, "The Chemistry of the Carbon-Halogen Bond," pt. 1, pp. 409-490, John Wiley & Sons, New York 1973; Parker, Adv. Org. Chem., 5, (1965) 1-46. ##STR12## wherein, R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are as previously defined; ##STR13## and R.sub.12 and R.sub.13 are as previously defined.

The benzylic halides, tosylates or mesylates of Formula Vb can be readily prepared from sulfonamides of Formula Va using any one of a number of standard techniques (Equation 4b). Some useful references can be found in: Nechvatal, Adv. Free-Radical Chem., 4, 175-201 (1972); Novikov, Sevost'yanova, and Fainzil'berg, Russ. Chem. Rev., 31, 671-681 (1962); Horner and Winkelmann, Newer Methods Prep. Org. Chem., 3, 151-198 (1964), pp. 674-677; Djerassi, Chem. Rev., 43, 271-317 (1948).

B) From 4-nitro precursors:

Sulfonamides of Formula V with R.sub.2 substituents comprised of amine or hydroxylamine derivatives can be prepared from the corresponding 4-nitro sulfonamides of Formula Vc. In these cases, the 4-nitro group can be easily reduced to furnish the corresponding amine or hydroxylamine depending on reaction conditions. For a lead reference concerning these types of reductions see: March, "Advanced Organic Chemistry," pp. 1125-1126, McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York 1977; J. S. Buck and W. S. Ide, Org. Syn., Coll. Vol., 1, 130 (1943). These key intermediates can then be derivatized using methods known by one skilled in the art to furnish the desired sulfonamides of Formula V (Equation 5). A good reference for these derivatizing methods is: Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis," John Wiley and Sons, New York (1981). ##STR14## wherein, R.sub.3 is as previously defined; previously defined;

C) From 4-halo precursors:

Halogens, such as F, Cl or Br, substituted in the 4-position of sulfonamides of Formula Vd are susceptible to nucleophilic displacement reactions. In some cases, it is advantageous to use this strategy to prepare sulfonamides of Formula V with amine or hydroxylamine derivatives as the R.sub.2 substituent (Equation 6). This type of reaction is known in the art and for reference see: Zoltewicz, Top. Curr. Chem., 59, 33-64 (1975); Bunnett and Zahler, Chem. Rev., 49, 273-412 (1951); Miller and Parker, Aust. J. Chem., 11, 302 (1958); Berliner and Monack, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 74, 1574 (1952). ##STR15## wherein, R.sub.3 is as previously defined;

Many of the R.sub.1 substituents found in sulfonamides of Formula V can be prepared from sulfonamides of Formula Ve (R.sub.a is t-butyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl) where R.sub.1 is hydrogen. In these cases, the position ortho to the protected sulfonamide group can be deprotonated by the action of strong base. The resultant dianion can then be quenched with a variety of electrophiles which either furnish the requisite R.sub.1 substituents directly or furnish precursors to these key groups. This sequence of reaction is well documented in the literature and the following references describe this technique: J. G. Lombardino, J. Org. Chem., 36, (1971), 1843; P. Beak and R. A. Brown, J. Org. Chem., 44, (1979) 4464; and P. Beak and V. Snieckus, Acc. Chem. Res., 15, (1982) 306.

This method works well for the preparation of sulfonamides of Formula Ve in which the 4-substituent is methyl, ethyl, Cl or F (Equation 7a). In cases where the electrophile is a chloroformate derivative, and an excess of the electrophile is used, saccharin derivatives of Formula VIII (where R.sub.a is either H or t-butyl) can be obtained as the only product (Equation 7b). The ring substituents on these saccharin derivatives can be modified to the desired R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 groups in much the same manner as the ring opened sulfonamides of Formula Va and d as described in Equations 4 and 6. In addition, these saccharin derivatives can be easily converted into the sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is H or t-butyl) by methods well known in the art. ##STR16## wherein, R.sub.3 is as previously defined; ##STR17##

There are a variety of additional general methods in the literature that can be used for the preparation of many of the sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VI and sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is H, t-butyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl). Some representative methods are described in: H. T. Clarke et al., Org. Synth. Coll., Vol. 1, 2nd Ed. 1941, p. 85; H. L. Tale and F. Sowinski, J. Org. Chem., 25, 1824 (1960); and H. Meerwein et al., Chem. Ber., 90, 841 (1957). Additional references can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,169,719; 4,127,405; 3,394,506; 4,435,205; 4,420,325; 4,441,910; 4,398,939; 4,456,469; 4,370,479; and EPO Publications Nos.: 23,422; 83,975; 13,480 and 95,925.

Equations 8 to 11 describe a number of specific synthetic schemes that enable the preparation of a variety of sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VI. These intermediates can then be; 1) converted directly into compounds of Formula I using procedures outlined above; 2) converted into sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is H) which in turn to compounds of Formula I; and, 3) converted into sulfonamides of Formula V (R.sub.a is t-butyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl) for further manipulations using methods already described to furnish the required R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 substituents.

From amino (or nitro) precursors:

A number of sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIa where the ring substituents are compatible with the variety of conditions used to generate diazonium salts can be prepared from the corresponding amino derivative of Formula IX as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,310,346 (Equation 8). The amino derivatives of Formula IX can be obtained commercially or prepared from the corresponding nitro compounds by any one of many methods known in the literature. ##STR18## wherein, R.sub.1 is H or as previously defined; previously defined except, not NHR.sub.14, N(R.sub.15)OH and R.sub.13 is not NH.sub.2, NHCH.sub.3, or N(CH.sub.3).sub.2 ; and

From halogen precursors:

A number of sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIb in which the ring substituents are compatible with the conditions associated with the overall process of nucleophilic displace of an activated halogen with thiolate ions followed by oxidative chlorination can be prepared from the corresponding aryl halides of Formula X (Equation 9). This sequence is taught in EPO Publication No. 94,821. ##STR19## wherein, R.sub.1 is H or previously defined except not, C(O)R.sub.5, ##STR20## R.sub.2 is NO.sub.2, CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, Cl; R.sub.3 is as previously defined; and

From phenol precursors:

Sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VIc in which the ring substituents are not compatable with nucleophilic displacement reactions or oxidative chlorination conditions can be prepared from the corresponding phenol of Formula XI (Equation 10). A lead reference for this sequence is M. S. Newman and H. A. Kames, J. Org. Chem., 31 (1966), 3980. ##STR21## wherein, R.sub.1 is H or as previously described except;

From aryl bromides:

Sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VId in which the ring substituents are stable to strong bases can be prepared using a sequence starting with the corresponding aryl bromides or the parent protio compound of Formula XII (Equation 11). These reactions have been extensively studies in the literature and a few lead references for this useful process can be found in: U.S. Pat. No. 4,481,029; Gschwend and Rodriguez, Org. Reactions, 26 (1979), 1; S. N. Bhattacharya et al., J. Chem. Soc. C., (1968), 1265. ##STR22## wherein, R.sub.1 is H or as previously defined except for NO.sub.2, CO.sub.2 R.sub.4, C(O)R.sub.5 ; and

Another useful preparation of sulfonyl chlorides of Formula VI is by electrophilic chlorsulfonation of a suitably substituted aromatic ring. This technique is well known in the literature and works best for alkyl aryl ethers and alkyl aromatics. A useful reference is E. H. Huntress and F. H. Carten, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 62 (1940), 511-14 and 603-4.

The heterocyclic amines of Formula III are either known or can be prepared by obvious methods by one skilled in the art.

No. 4,478,635.

The preparation of the compounds of this invention is further illustrated by the following Examples.

To 4-methyl N-t-butylbenzenesulfonamide (10 g, 0.044 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) (250 mL) cooled to -78.degree. C. was added dropwise n-butyllithium (35.2 mL, 2.5M, 0.088 mol) at such a rate that the temperature was kept below -65.degree. C. After all the n-butyllithium solution was added the mixture was warmed to 35.degree. C. with a warm water bath and the mixture stirred for 2 hours. The heterogeneous mixture was then re-cooled to 31 78.degree. C. and methyl chloroformate (10.2 mL, 0.132 mol) was added as rapidly as possible and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. Upon warming, the mixture became homogeneous and was allowed to stirred an additional hour.

The reaction was worked-up by adding distilled water and adjusting the pH to approximately 3 using 1.0N HCl. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with a mixture of diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine and dried using magnesium sulfate. The solvents were removed by rotary evaporation to leave 12.45 g of a free-flowing white solid; m.p. 85.degree. to 88.degree. C., and one spot by TLC.

NMR (200 MHz) CDCl.sub.3 .delta. 7.75 (d, 1H), 7.7 (d, 1H), 7.6 (dd, 1H), 2.5 (s, 3H), 1.8 (s, 9H).

This was deemed pure enough for the next step.

The N-t-butyl saccharin derivative from Example 1 (10 g, 0.39 mol) was dissolved in a mixture of CCl.sub.4 (250 mL) and CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (100 mL). Then N-bromosuccinimide (9.43 g, 0.53 mol) was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for approximately 2 hours after which time it was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stir for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was again heated at reflux but this time with the aid of a sun lamp. After 2 hours, the reaction was deemed complete and the mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator.

The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether and was immediately washed with an aqueous 5% sodium bisulfite solution. The ether layer was dried using magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated on a rotary evaporator to furnish 14.3 g of the crude product as a brown oil. This material was used in the next step without further purification.

This crude reaction mixture (12.17 g) was dissolved in methanol (150 mL) and then treated with a 25% sodium methoxide solution in methanol (20.44 mL) and the mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hour at 25.degree. C. TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was incomplete so it was heated at 50.degree. C. for approximately 2 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction was judged to be complete and the mixture was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give a heterogeneous brown oil. The mixture was diluted with water and acidified with 1N HCl and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was dried using magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to furnish 8.66 g of a brown oil. This material was chromatographed on silica gel using a solvent system of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:9). This yielded 1.60 g of desired product as a white solid; m.p. 70.degree.-72.degree. C.

NMR (200 MHz) CDCl.sub.3 .delta. 8.1 (d, 1H), 7.8 (s, 1H), 7.6 (d, 1H), 6.1 (bs, 1H), 4.5 (s, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 3.4 (s, 3H), 1.3 (s, 9H).

The N-t-butylsulfonamide (1.6 g) prepared in Example 2 was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL) at 0.degree. C. and the mixture was allowed to stir while warming to room temperature. The mixture was allowed to stir overnight after which time the trifluoroacetic acid was removed on a rotary evaporator. The crude oil was repeatedly dissolved in heptane and concentrated in vacuo to furnish a gray-brown tacky solid. The solid was triturated with n-chlorobutane and the desired product was collected as an off-white solid; m.p. 110.degree.-115.degree. C.

NMR (100 MHz) D.sub.6 acetone .delta. 8.0 (dd, 1H), 7.8 (s, 1H), 7.7 (d, 1H), 6.6 (bs, 1H), 4.6 (s, 1H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 3.4 (s, 3H). 2-[[[[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-5-(metho xymethyl)benzoate

The sulfonamide prepared in Example 3 (100 mg, 0.386 mmol) and phenyl 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl carbamate (106 mg, 0.386 mmol) were dissolved in dry acetonitrile (2 mL) and cooled to 0.degree. C. Then 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (0.07 mL, 0.463 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 1 hour. After this time ice and water were added and the solution was acidified to pH 3 with 1N HCl. The resultant solids were collected, washed with water and air dried to yield 0.145 g of a white solid that melted at 182.degree.-184.degree. C.

NMR (200 MHz) D.sub.6 acetone .delta. 12.6 (bs, 1H), 9.4 (bs, 1H), 8.3 (d, 1H), 7.7 (m, 2H), 5.9 (s, 1H), 4.05 (s, 6H), 3.9 (s, 3H), 3.4 (s, 3H).

Silver acetate (7.5 g) was suspended in acetonitrile (50 mL) and acetic acid (30 mL) was added until the mixture became homogeneous. Then a sample of 5-bromomethyl-N-t-butylsaccharin (5.0 g) (prepared as described in Example 2) was added in acetonitrile (40 mL) and the mixture was allowed to stir for 4 days at room temperature. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3.times.150 mL). The ethyl acetate solutions were combined and washed once with water and then once with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organics were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to furnish 4 g of yellow oil which crystallized upon standing. This material was chromatographed on silica gel first using ethyl acetate and hexane (1:8) as eluent followed by a 1:1 mixture. The desired product 1.7 g was obtained as a white solid that melted at 106.degree.-108.degree. C.

NMR (90 MHz) CDCl.sub.3 .delta. 7.9 (s, 1H), 7.7 (s, 2H), 5.2 (s, 2H), 2.1 (s, 3H), 1.7 (s, 9H).

The 5-acetoxymethyl saccharin (1.7 g) prepared in Example 5 was dissolved in methanol (20 mL) and a 25% sodium methoxide in methanol solution (1.5 mL) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir for 12 hours. After this time, the mixture was poured onto an ice and water mixture and the resultant solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3.times.50 mL). The organics were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 1.3 g of the desired product initially as a clear oil which slowly solidified on standing.

NMR (90 MHz) CDCl.sub.3 .delta. 8.0 (d, 1H), 7.9 (d, 1H), 7.7 (dd, 1H), 6.1 (bs, 1H), 4.8 (d, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 2.7 (t, 1H), 1.4 (s, 9H), 2-(aminosulfonyl)-5-(trifluoroacetoxymethyl)benzoate

Using the same procedure described in Example 3, the N-t-butyl sulfonamide (1.2 g) prepared in Example 6 was deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid (10 mL). This furnished 1.05 g of a white solid; m.p. 98.degree.-100.degree. C. The solid was a mixture of the desired hydroxymethyl sulfonamide and its corresponding trifluoroacetate.

NMR (200 MHz) D.sub.6 Acetone .delta. 8.15 (d, 1H), 7.95 (d, 1H), 7.9 (dd, 1H), 6.5 (bs, 2H), 5.6 (CH.sub.2 OCOCF.sub.3), and 4.8 (CH.sub.2 OH) (s, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H).

This mixture was used as is as trifluoroacetates such as these are cleaved during the next step. 2[[[[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-5-(hydrox ymethyl)benzoate

Using the same procedure described in Example 4, the mixture of sulfonamides (0.1 g) produced the desired product (0.1 g) (in which the trifluoroacetate had indeed been hydrolyzed) as a white solid; m.p. 182.degree.-185.degree. C.

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulations. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid and/or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions: Weight Percent* Active Ingredient Diluent(s) Surfactant(s) ______________________________________ Wettable Powders 20-90      0-74     1-10 Oil Suspensions, 3-50     40-95     0-15 Emulsions, Solutions, (including Emulsifiable Concentrates) Aqueous Suspension 10-50     40-84     1-20 Dusts          1-25     70-99     0-5 Granules and Pellets 0.1-95      5-99.9  0-15 High Strength 90-99      0-10     0-2 Compositions ______________________________________ *Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or Diluent equals 10 weight percent.

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0.degree. C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual:, MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.

The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, 8-57ff.

Many compounds of this invention are particularly useful for the control of weeds in sugar beets and fodder beets. This is a crop that takes a long period to become established. In this interval, the crop seedlings must be nurtured carefully, with particular attention to weed control to prevent damage due to competition. The subject compound can be used either pre- or post-emergence and will control numerous problem weeds including galium (Galium aparine), pigweed (Amaranthus spp.), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), wild oats (Avena fatua), wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum), and blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides). Some of the compounds of the invention are useful for selective weed control in other crops such as soybeans. Additionally, some of these compounds are useful as plant growth regulants or as citrus abscission agents.

The rate of application of a compound from this invention is determined by a number of factors including the weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, soil type, time of application, age and size of crop and weeds, method of application (pre- or post-), etc. In general terms, the rate will vary between about 1 and 20000 g/ha, with a preferred rate of about 4 to 500 g/ha. The rate to be used in any given situation can be selected by one with ordinary skill in the art.

These compounds can and will often be used in mixtures with one or more other herbicides. They may be mixed with any other herbicides selective on beets including metamitron, phenmedipham, chloridazin, desmedipham, lenacil, ethofumesate, cycloate, diclorp-methyl, fluazifop, haloxyfop, and quinoxyfop ethyl. Or if used in soybeans, they may be advantageously mixed with compounds selective on soybeans. These compounds include, but are not restricted to: acifluorfen, alachlor, bentazon, chlorbromuron, chlorimuron ethyl, chloroxuron, diclofop, fexoxaprop ethyl, imazaquin, linuron, metachlor, metribuzin, oxyfluorfen, propachlor, quinoxyfop ethyl, sethoxydim, trifluralin, vernolate, 2,4-DB, cinmethylin, imazethapyr, thiameturon methyl, haloxyfop-methyl and 2-(2'-chlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone.

Herbicidal properties of compounds of this invention were discovered in a number of greenhouse tests. Test descriptions and results follow. ##STR36##

Seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), corn (Zea mays), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), giant foxtail (Setaria faberi), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), soybean (Glycine max), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and wild oat (Avena fatua) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were also treated with postemergence applications of test chemicals. Plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm (two to three leaf stage) for postemergence treatments. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

At the same time, these crop and weed species were also treated with postemergence applications of test chemicals. Plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm (two to three leaf stage) for postemergence treatments. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately 24 days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. The ratings, summarized in Table B, are based on a scale of 0 to 100 where 0 is no effect and 100 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.
