Description:
This is a division of application Ser. No. 06/175,706, filed on Aug. 6, 1980 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,831. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to novel quinoxaline derivatives and herbicidal compositions containing the same. 
     2. Decsription of the Prior Arts 
     Various compounds have been practically used as herbicides as a result of various studies on herbicides for long years. These herbicides have been proposed and practically used to contribute for elimination of agricultural labour works and to improve productivities of agricultural and horticultural crop plants. 
     It has been still awaited to find novel herbicides having superior herbicidal characteristics. The herbicides for agricultural and horticultural purposes are preferably compounds which selectively control the object weeds at a small dose without a toxicity to the crop plants. The known herbicides do not always have the optimum herbicidal characteristics. 
     The inventors have studied to develop novel useful herbicides especially on herbicidal characteristics of various heterocyclic compounds. 
     Substituted pyridyloxyphenoxy fatty acid herbicides have been known as heterocyclic ether type phenoxy fatty acid derivatives in Japan Unexamined Patent Publication No. 106735/1976. 
     Benzimidazole, benzthiazole, and benzoxazole derivatives and herbicidal effect of these compounds have been known in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 40767/1978. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is an object of the present invention to provide novel quinoxaline derivatives. 
     It is another objects of the present invention to provide a herbicidal composition which has excellent selective herbicidal activity to various weeds especially gramineous weeds but substantially non-phytotoxicity to broad leaf crop plants. 
     The foregoing and other objects of the present invention have been attained by providing novel compounds having the formula                           
     wherein X represents a halogen atom; R represents —COR 1 ,                                                     
     —CH═CH—COOR 2 (R 2  represents a C 1 -C 4  alkyl group); —CN or —CH 2 OH, and R 1  represents                                                                               
     —S—R 3  (R 3  represents a C 1 -C 4  alkyl or alkenyl group or phenyl or chlorophenyl group), —NH—R 4  (R 4  represents a C 1 -C 4  alkoxy carbonylalkyl group, hydroxy alkyl group, phenyl group, C 1 -C 4  alkoxy alkyl group or di C 1 -C 4  alkyl amino group). 
     The present invention provides also herbicidal compositions comprising the novel quinoxaline derivative as an active ingredient.

     As the other herbicide, the following known herbicides were respectively used 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, 3-(4-methylphenethyloxyphenyl)-1-methyl-1-methoxy urea, 3-(methoxycarbonylamino)-phenyl-N-(3-methylphenyl) carbamate, 3-(ethoxycarbonylamino)-phenyl-N-phenylcarbamate, 3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzo thiadiazine-(4)-3H- one-2,2-dioxide, 5-amino-4-chloro-2-phenylpyridazine-3-one, 3-cyclohexyl-5,6-trimethyleneuracil, 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine, 2-chloro-4,6-di(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine, 2-methylthio-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine, 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine-5-one, 4-amino-6-t-butyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazine-5-one, 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl-3′-ethoxy-4′-nitrophenyl ether or sodium-5-2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy-2-nitro benzoate. 
     It is also possible to combine the compound of the present invention with the other herbicidal compounds which are described in “Weed Control Handbook” (Vol. I 6th edition 1977; Vol. II 8th edition 1978 ) issued by the British Crop Protection Council edited by J. D. Fryer M A &amp; R. J. Makepeace BSc . Blackwell Scientific Publication. 
     The quinoxaline derivatives of the present invention impart excellent herbicidal effect to various weeds especially gramineous weeds in a soil treatment or in a foliage treatment, without any phytotoxicity to broad leaf crop plants such as cotton, soybean, radish, cabbage, eggplant, tomato, sugar beet, ground nut, peas, beans, line seed, sun flower, safflower, potato, tabacco, alfalfa, onion etc. Therefore, the quinoxaline derivatives of the present invention are suitable for selective control of gramineous weeds in a culture of a broad leaf crop plant as herbicide for an agricultural and horticultural field especially up-land. 
     The quinoxaline derivatives of the present invention are also effective as herbicides for controlling various weeds in the agricultural and horticultural fields such as up-land, paddy field and orchard as well as non-culturated lands such as playground, vacant land, and railway sides, etc.. 
     The herbicidal composition is usually contains 0.5 to 95 wt. % of the compound of the present invention as the active ingredient and the remainder of the adjuvants in the concentrated form. The dose of the compound of the present invention is depending upon a weather condition, a soil condition, a form of a composition, a season of an application and a kind of a crop plant and kinds of weeds and it is usually in a range of 1 to 5000 g. preferably 5 to 1000 g. of the compound of the invention per 10 ares. 
     The herbicidal activities of the quinoxaline derivatives of the present invention will be illustrated in the following tests. 
     In the following tests, the herbicidal effects of the compounds of the present invention to gramineous weeds including rice are shown together with non-phytotoxicity of the same compounds to broad leaf crop plants as well as broad leaf weeds especially, non-phytotoxicity of the same compounds to broad leaf weeds in post-emergence. These remarkable selectivities have not been found by the other compounds. 
     Test 1: Tests for Herbicidal Effect in Soil Treatment 
     Each plastic box having a length of 15 cm, a width of 22 cm and a depth of 6 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvium soil and seeds of rice ( Oryza sativa ), barnyard grass ( Echinochloa crus - galli ), large crab-grass ( Digitaria adscendens ), lambsquarters ( Chenopodium ficifolium ), common purslane ( Postuloca oleracea ), hairy galinsoga ( Galinsoga ciliata ), yellow cress ( Rorippa atrovirens ) were sown in a depth of about 1.5 cm. Each solution of each herbicidal composition was uniformly sprayed on the surface of the soil to give the specific dose of the active ingredient. 
     The solution was prepared by diluting, with water, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate or a solution described in examples of the composition except varying the active ingredient. The solution was sprayed by a small spray. Three weeks after the treatment, the herbicidal effects to rice and various weeds were observed and rated by the following standard. The results are shown in Table 2. 
     Standard Rating 
     5: Growth control of more than 90% (substantial suppression) 
     4: Growth control of 70 to 90% 
     3: Growth control of 40 to 70% 
     2: Growth control of 20 to 40% 
     1: Growth control of 5 to 20% 
     0: Growth control of less than 5% (non-herbicidal effect)

     Test 2: Tests for Herbicidal Effect in Foliage Treatment 
     Each plastic box having a length of 15 cm, a width of 22 cm, a depth of 6 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvium soil and seeds of rice, barnyard grass, large crab-grass, lambsquarters common purslane, hairy galinsoga, yellow cress and tomato were sown in a form of spots in a depth of about 1.5 cm. When the weeds were grown to 2 to 3 leaf stage, each solution of each herbicidal composition was uniformly sprayed to foliages at each dose of each active ingredient shown in Table 3. The solution was prepared by diluting, with water, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate or a solution described in examples of the composition except varying the active ingredient and the solution was uniformly sprayed by a small spray on all of foliages of the plants. 
     Two weeks after the spray treatment, the herbicidal effects to the weeds and tomato were observed and rated by the standard shown in Test 1. The results are shown in Table 3.

     Test 3: Tests for Phytotoxicity to Crop Plants (Foliage Treatment) 
     Each plastic box having a length of 15 cm, a width of 22 cm, and a depth of 6 cm was filled with a sterilized diluvium soil and seeds of cotton, soybean, radish, cabbage and eggplant were sown in a form of spots in a depth of about 1.5 cm. When the plants were grown to leaf-emergence stage, each solution of each herbicidal composition was uniformly sprayed to foliages at each dose of each active ingredient shown in Table 4. The solution was prepared by diluting, with water, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate or a solution described in examples of the composition except varying the active ingredient and the solution was uniformly sprayed by a small spray on all of foliages of the plants. 
     Two weeks after the spray treatment, the phytotoxicities to the plants were observed and rated by the following standard. The results are shown in Table 4. 
     Standard Rating 
     5: Complete death of plant 
     4: Serious phytotoxicity to plant 
     3: Fair phytotoxicity to plant 
     2: Slight phytotoxicity to plant 
     1: Only slight phytotoxicity to plant 
     0: Non phytotoxicity
