Particularly suitable bases are tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, quinuclidine, 1 ,4- diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1 ,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene or 1 ,5- diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Further suitable bases are also inorganic bases, typically hydrides such as sodium or calcium hydride, hydroxides such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, carbonates such as sodium and potassium carbonate, or hydrogen carbonates such as potassium and sodium hydrogen carbonate. The compounds of formula I can be isolated in conventional manner by concentrating the reaction mixture and/or removing the solvent by evaporation and by recrystallising or triturating the solid residue in solvents in which they are not readily soluble, typically ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons. The compounds of formula I or compositions containing them may be used according to this invention by all standard methods of application used in agriculture, including preemergence application, postemergence application and seed dressing, as well as by different methods and techniques such as controlled release. For controlled release, a solution of the herbicide is applied to a mineral granular carrier or to a polymerised granulate (urea/formaldehyde) and then dried. A coating can then be additionally applied (coated granules) that allows the active ingredient to be released at a controlled rate over a specific period of time. The compounds of formula I may be used as herbicides in unmodified form, i.e. as obtained in the synthesis. Preferably they are processed in conventional manner with the auxiliary agents customarily employed in formulation technology to emulsifiable concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates or microcapsules. Such formulations are described, for example, in WO 97/34485 on pages 9 to 13. As with the type of agents, the methods of application such as spraying, atomising, dusting, wetting, scattering or pouring, are selected in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances. The formulations, i.e. the agents, preparations, or compositions containing the compound of formula I or at least one compound of formula I and usually one or more than one liquid or solid formulation assistant, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the herbicide with said formulation auxiliaries, typically solvents or solid carriers. Surface-active compounds (surfactants) may additionally be used for preparing the formulations. Examples of solvents and solid carriers are described in WO 97/34485 on page 6. Depending on the herbicide of formula I to be formulated, suitable surface-active compounds are nonionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants and surfactant mixtures having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. Examples of suitable anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants are listed for example in WO 97/34485 on pages 7 and 8. Also the surfactants customary in the art of formulation and described, inter alia, in "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual" MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood New Jersey, 1981 , Stache, H., "Tensid-Taschenbuch" (Handbook of Surfactants), Carl Hanser Veriag, Munich/Vienna, 1981 , and M. and J. Ash, "Encyclopedia of Surfactants", Vol l-lll, Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1980-81 , are suitable for manufacture of the herbicides according to the invention. The herbicidal compositions will as a rule contain from 0.1 to 99 % by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 95% by weight, of herbicide, from 1 to 99.9% by weight, preferably from 5 to 99.8% by weight, of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and from 0 to 25% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 25% by weight, of a surfactant. Whereas it is preferred to formulate commercial products as concentrates, the end user will normally use dilute formulations. The compositions may also contain further ingredients, such as: stabilisers, e.g. where appropriate epoxidised vegetable oils (epoxidised coconut oil, rapeseed oil, or soybean oil); anti-foaming agents, typically silicone oil; preservatives; viscosity regulators; binders; and tackifiers; as well as fertilisers or other chemical agents. The compounds of formula I are usually applied with success to the plants or the locus thereof in concentrations of 0.001 to 4 kg/ha, preferably 0.005 to 2 kg/ha. The concentration required to achieve the desired action can be determined by experimentation. It will depend on the type of action, the development stage of the cultivated plant and of the weed, as well as on the application (locus, time, method), and as a resulty of these variables can vary over a wide range. The compounds of formula I have excellent herbicidal and growth inhibiting properties, which make them suitable for application in crops of cultivated plants, especially in cereals, cotton, soybeans, sugar beet, sugar cane, plantations, rape, maize, and rice, and for the non-selective control of weeds. Crops will also be understood to mean those crops that have been made tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicides by conventional breeding or genetic engineering methods. The weeds to be controlled may be monocot as well as dicot weeds, typically Stellaria, Nasturtium, Agrostis, Digitaπa, Avena, Setaπa, Sinapis, Lolium, Solanum, Echinochloa, Sciφus, Monochoria, Sagittaria, Bromus, Alopecurus, Sorghum halepense, Rottboellia, Cyperus, Abutilon, Sida, Xanthium, Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Ipomoea, Chrysanthemum, Galium, Viola, and Veronica. The invention is illustrated by the following non-limitative Examples. Preparation Examples: Example P1 : Preparation of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methylbenzoic acid chloride: A solution of 1.5 g (5.8 mmols) of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methylbenzoic acid in 15 ml of methylene chloride produced in accordance with EP-A-0 282 944 is mixed at a temperature of 20°C with 2 drops of DMF. Then, whilst cooling lightly, a solution of 1.0 ml (11.6 mmols) of oxalyl chloride in 2 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred until the evolution of gas has ended. Subsequently, the solvent is distilled off. The 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methylbenzoic acid chloride is used without further purification directly for the next step of the process. Example P2: Preparation of 4-hvdroxy-3-(4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl- benzoyπ-bicvclor3.2.1 ]oct-3-en-2-one: 0.8 g (5.8 mmols) of bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2,4-dione (the preparation thereof is described for example in US-A-5,608,101 and in the references cited therein) are dissolved in 15 ml of methylene chloride at 20°C. The solution is mixed with 0.97 ml of triethylamine and cooled to a temperature of 0°C. Then, a solution of 1.6 g (5.8 mmols) of 4-methylsulphonyl-3- methoxymethyl-2-methyibenzoic acid chloride in 10 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred for half an hour at a temperature of 0°C and is subsequently diluted with methylene chloride. After washing and drying, the organic phase is concentrated by evaporation. 2.23 g of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl- benzoic acid-4-oxo-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-2-yl-ester is obtained in amorphous form. This can be used for the next step without purification. 2.23 g (5.8 mmols) of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-benzoic acid-4-oxo- bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-2-yl-ester and 1.6 ml (11.6 mmols) of triethylamine are dissolved in 20 ml of acetonitrile. 0.2 ml of acetocyanohydrin are added at a temperature of 20°C. After stirring for 20 hours, the mixture is worked up and the crude product is purified by thick- layer chromatography. 1.0 g of 4-hydroxy-3-(4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl- benzoyl)-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one is obtained in amorphous form. Exam p le P3: Preparation of 5-hvdroxy-4-(4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl- benzovπ-2.6.6-trimethyl-6.H.-n .21oxazin-3-one: 0.79 g (5.04 mmols) of 2,6,6-trimethyl-2H-1 ,2-oxazin-3,5-dione (the preparation thereof is described for example in US-A-5.565.410), 15 ml of methylene chloride and 0.97 ml of triethylamine are prepared, and at a temperature of 0°C, a solution of 1.3 g (4.7 mmols) of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methylbenzoic acid chloride in 10 ml methylene chloride is added dropwise. After stirring for 30 minutes, the solution is diluted with methylene chloride. The reaction solution is subsequently acidified with diluted hydrochloric acid, the organic phase separated, dried and concentrated. 2.0 g of 4-methyisulphonyl-3- methoxymethyl-2-methyl-benzoic acid-2,6,6-trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2.H.-[1 ,2]oxazin-3- yl-ester are obtained in amorphous form. The product may be further used directly without purification. 2.0 g (5.04 mmols) of 4-methylsulphonyl-3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-benzoic acid-2,6,6- trimethyl-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2.H.-[1 ,2]oxazin-3-yl-ester are dissolved in a mixture of 35 ml of acetonitrile and 10 ml of methylene chloride, then 1.4 ml (10.08 mmols) of triethylamine and 0.18 ml of acetocyanohydrin are added. After stirring for 20 hours at a temperature of 20°C and then working up, recrystallisation is effected, and finally hydroxy-4-(4-methylsulphonyl- 3-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-benzoyl)-2,6,6-trimethyl-6.H.-[1 ,2]oxazin-3-one is obtained with a melting point of 157°C.
