The compounds of formulae XII and XIII are known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods, for example as described in DE-A-3 917 469; WO 97/07114; WO 92/00976; JP-A-58-213 776; EP-A-0 012 117; EP-A-0 306 547; EP-A-0 030 215; EP-A-0 272 824; EP-A-0 500 209; US-A-4 996 323; US-A-5 017 705; WO 97/05112; J.

The 2-aminopyridines of formula XIII may also be prepared by degradation reactions according to Curtius, Hofmann or Lossen from corresponding pyridine derivatives with carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid chloride, carboxylic acid azide, carboxylic acid ester or carboxylic acid amide functions in the 2-position. The compounds of formulae XII and Xlla in Reaction Scheme 11 wherein U is a leaving group, e.g. a Cι-C alkyl- or phenyl-sulfonyl group, are known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods, for example by oxidation of the corresponding thioethers - 51 - with hydrogen peroxide or Javelle water or by means of the synthesis of the heterocycle. Such syntheses are described, for example, in Synthesis 1989, 623 or in WO 98/11071. The reagents of formulae XIV, XVa, XVb, XVIa, XVIb, XVII, XIX, XX, XXII, XXIIa, XXIII, XXV, XXVI, XXVIII, XXIX, XXXIa, XXXIb, XXXII, XXXIIa, XXXIIb, XXXIIc, XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVa, XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XXXXI, XXXXII, XXXXIII and XXXXIV used in Reaction Schemes 2 to 10 are either known or may be prepared in analogy to known methods. The intermediates of formula II (II). in which Ri, R 2 and W are as defined for formula I and which may be in the tautomeric keto-enol form, are novel. The invention therefore relates to those compounds also. The reactions to form compounds of formula I are advantageously carried out in aprotic, inert organic solvents. Such solvents are hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xyiene or cyclohexane, chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane or chlorobenzene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, nitriles, such as acetonitrile or propionitrile, amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylformamide or N-methylpyrroiidinone. The reaction temperatures are preferably from -20°C to +120°C. The reactions are generally slightly exothermic and may usually be carried out at room temperature. In order to shorten the reaction time or alternatively to initiate the reaction, the reaction mixture may be heated to its boiling point for a short time. The reaction times may likewise be shortened by the addition of a few drops of base as reaction catalyst. Suitable bases are especially 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, but it is also possible to use inorganic bases, such as hydrides, e.g. sodium or calcium hydride, hydroxides, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, carbonates, such as sodium or potassium carbonate, or hydrogen carbonates, such as potassium or sodium hydrogen carbonate. - 52 - The compounds of formula I can be isolated in customary manner by concentration and/or evaporation of the solvent and can be purified by recrystallisation or trituration of the solid residue in solvents in which they are not readily soluble, such as ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons, or by means of column chromatography and a suitable eluant. For the use according to the invention of the compounds of formula I, or of compositions comprising them, there come into consideration all methods of application customary in agriculture, for example pre-emergence application, post-emergence application and seed dressing, and also various methods and techniques such as, for example, the controlled release of active ingredient. For that purpose a solution of the active ingredient is applied to mineral granule carriers or polymerised granules (urea/formaldehyde) and dried. If required, it is also possible to apply a coating (coated granules), which allows the active ingredient to be released in metered amounts over a specific period of time. The compounds of formula I may be used as herbicides in their unmodified form, that is to say as obtained in the synthesis, but they are preferably formulated in customary manner together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in formulation technology, for example into emulsifiable concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granules or microcapsules. Such formulations are described, for example, on pages 9 to 13 of WO 97/34485. As with the nature of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, wetting, scattering or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances. The formulations, that is to say the compositions, preparations or mixtures comprising the compound (active ingredient) of formula I or at least one compound of formula I and, usually, one or more solid or liquid formulation adjuvants, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the active ingredients with the formulation adjuvants, for example solvents or solid carriers. Surface-active compounds (surfactants) may also be used in addition in the preparation of the formulations. Examples of solvents and solid carriers are given, for example, on page 6 of WO 97/34485. Depending on the nature of the compound of formula I to be formulated, suitable surface- active compounds are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants and surfactant mixtures having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. Examples of suitable anionic, non-ionic and cationic surfactants are listed, for example, on pages 7 and 8 of - 53 - WO 97/34485. In addition, the surfactants conventionally employed in formulation technology, which are described, inter alia, in "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual" MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood New Jersey, 1981 , Stache, H., "Tensid-Taschenbuch", Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich/Vienna 1981 , and M. and J. Ash, "Encyclopedia of Surfactants", Vol. I-III, Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1980-81 , are also suitable for the preparation of the herbicidal compositions according to the invention. The herbicidal formulations generally contain from 0.1 to 99 % by weight, especially from 0.1 to 95 % by weight, of herbicide, from 1 to 99.9 % by weight, especially from 5 to 99.8 % by weight, of a solid or liquid formulation adjuvant, and from 0 to 25 % by weight, especially from 0.1 to 25 % by weight, of a surfactant. Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations. The compositions may also comprise further ingredients, such as stabilisers, for example vegetable oils or epoxidised vegetable oils (epoxidised coconut oil, rape oil or soybean oil), anti- foams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers, and also fertilisers or other active ingredients. The compounds of formula I are generally applied to plants or the locus thereof at rates of application of from 0.001 to 4 kg/ha, especially from 0.005 to 2 kg/ha. The concentration required to achieve the desired effect can be determined by experiment. It is dependent on the nature of the action, the stage of development of the cultivated plant and of the weed and on the application (place, time, method) and may vary within wide limits as a function of those parameters. The compounds of formula I are distinguished by herbicidal and growth-inhibiting properties, allowing them to be used in crops of useful plants, especially cereals, cotton, soybeans, sugar beet, sugar cane, plantation crops, rape, maize and rice, and also for non-selective weed control. The term "crops" is to be understood as including also crops that have been made tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicides as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic techniques. The weeds to be controlled may be either monocotyl- edonous or dicotyledonous weeds, such as, for example, Steliaria, Nasturtium, Agrostis, Digitaria, Avena, Setaria, Sinapis, Lolium, Solanum, Echinochloa, Scirpus, Monochoria, Sagittaria, Bromus, Alopecurus, Sorghum halepense, Rottboellia, Cyperus, Abutilon, Sida, Xanthium, Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Ipomoea, Chrysanthemum, Galium, Viola and Veronica. - 54 - The following Examples further illustrate but do not limit the invention.

Biological Examples Example B1 : Herbicidal action prior to emergence of the plants (pre-emeroence action) - 128 - Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous test plants are sown in standard soil in plastics pots. Immediately after sowing, the test compounds, in the form of an aqueous suspension (prepared from a 25 % wettable powder (Example F3, b), as described, for example, in WO 97/34485), or in the form of an emulsion (prepared from a 25 % emulsifiable concentrate (Example F1 , c), as described, for example, in WO 97/34485), are applied by spraying in a concentration corresponding to 2000 g of active ingredient/ha (500 litres water/ha). The test plants are then grown in a greenhouse under optimum conditions. After a test duration of 3 weeks, the test is evaluated in accordance with a scale of nine ratings (1 = total damage, 9 = no action). Ratings of from 1 to 4 (especially from 1 to 3) indicate good to very good herbicidal action. In this test the compounds of formula I exhibit strong herbicidal action. Test plants: Lolium, Setaria, Sinapis, Solanum, Ipomoea Examples of the good herbicidal activity of the compounds of formula I are given in Table B1.

Example B2: Post-emergence herbicidal action In a greenhouse, monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous test plants are grown in standard soil in plastics pots and at the 4- to 6-leaf stage are sprayed with an aqueous suspension of the test compounds of formula I, prepared from a 25 % wettable powder (Example F3, b) according to WO 97/34485), or with an emulsion of the test compounds of formula I, prepared from a 25 % emulsifiable concentrate (Example F1 , c) according to 129 WO 97/34485), in a concentration corresponding to 2000 g of active ingredient/ha (500 litres water/ha). The test plants are then grown on in a greenhouse under optimum conditions. After a test duration of about 18 days, the test is evaluated in accordance with a scale of nine ratings (1 = total damage, 9 = no action). Ratings of from 1 to 4 (especially from 1 to 3) indicate good to very good herbicidal action.
