     Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. 
     According to the present invention, the above objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved, first, by a cyanoketone derivative of the following formula (1) ##STR9## wherein A 1  is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or naphthyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group selected from the group consisting of a 5-membered ring, a 6-membered ring, a 5- and 6-membered fused ring group and a 6- and 6-membered fused ring group, substituents of said substituted phenyl, naphthyl and heterocyclic groups being selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a halogenoalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a nitro group and a cyano group; each of X 1 , X 2 , X 3  and X 4  is independently an oxygen or sulfur atom; each of B 1 , B 2  and B 3  is independently a hydrogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; each of Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3  and Y 4  is independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and each of A 2  and A3 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, a cyano group and a group as defined in A 1  ; substituents of said substituted alkyl group being selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a phenyl group and a heterocyclic group of a 5- or 6-membered ring; provided that both A 2  and A 3  can form a saturated or unsaturated ring which may contain a hereto atom and that when B 1  is a hydrogen atom and B 2  is alkyl, the compound of the formula (1) is an R- or S-enantiomer with regard to the asymmetric carbon to which B 1  and B 2  are bonded or a mixture of these enantiomers. 
     The cyanoketone derivative represented by the formula (1) of the present invention has a strong herbicidal activity compared to the cyanoketone derivative of the formula (7) which is described in said U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,894, and therefore exhibits a herbicidal activity to a variety of gramineous weeds in a smaller amount. 
     In the above formula (1), A 1  is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group. 
     The aromatic group preferably includes phenyl and naphthyl. 
     The heterocyclic group preferably includes five-membered or six-membered cyclic groups having at least one hetero atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen atoms. 
     Examples of such heterocyclic groups preferably include five-membered cyclic groups such as furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, isooxazolyl and isothiazolyl groups; six-membered ring groups such as pyridyl, pyranyl, thiopyranyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, triazinyl and cyclohexenyl groups; five- or six-membered fused ring groups such as benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, oxazolopyridinyl and thiazolopyridinyl groups; and six- or six-membered fused ring groups such as quinolyl, quinoxalinyl and quinazolinyl groups. 
     The substituent which may be substituted on these aromatic and heterocyclic groups includes a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine; an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl; a halogenoalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as chloromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, trifluoroethyl, perfluoroethyl, pentachloropropyl and perfluorobutyl; an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and butoxy; an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methylthio, ethylthio, propylthio and butylthio; an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl and butoxycarbonyl; a nitro group; and a cyano group. These substituents are preferred particularly from an industrial point of view. 
     With respect to A 1 , the heterocyclic group gives a higher herbicidal activity than the aromatic group. Above all, a compound in which the hetrerocyclic ring is a pyridyl group shows an especially high herbicidal activity. The most preferable pyridyl group has a trifluoromethyl group at the S-position and a halogen atom at the 3-position. 
     In the formula (1), each of X 1 , X 2 , X 3  and X 4  is, independently of the other, an oxygen or sulfur atom. In particular, an oxygen atom is preferred. 
     In the formula (1), each of Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3  and Y 4  is, independently of the others, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or alkyl and in particular a hydrogen atom is preferred. 
     The halogen atom includes chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine. The alkyl may be linear or branched, and is preferably selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, heptyl and hexyl. 
     In the formula (1), each of B 1 , B 2  and B 3  is, independently of the others, a hydrogen atom or alkyl. The alkyl preferably include a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of the alkyl group include those specified concerning Y 1 . With respect to B 1 , the alkyl group is preferable and the methyl group is especially preferable, to the hydrogen atom. It is preferred that both B 2  and B 3  are a hydrogen atom. 
     In the formula (1), each of A2 and A3 is independently an atom or a group selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkoxycarbonyl, substituted or unsubstituted benzoyl, cyano, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group. Both A 2  and A 3  can form a saturated or unsaturated ring which may contain a hereto atom. 
     The alkyl preferably includes a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkenyl preferably includes a linear or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkoxy preferably includes a linear or branched alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The alkylthio preferably includes a linear or branched alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The alkoxycarbonyl preferably includes an alkoxy carbonyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. The aromatic and heterocyclic groups and substitutents thereon are preferably selected from those specified concerning A 1 . 
     The alkyl group includes those specified concerning Y 1 . 
     The substituent which may be substituted on the alkyl preferably includes a halogen atom, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a phenyl group or a heterocyclic group of 5- or 6-membered ring. 
     The alkenyl group preferably includes ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl and hexenyl. 
     The alkoxy group preferably includes methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and butoxy. 
     The alkylthio group preferably includes methylthio, ethylthio, propylthio and butylthio. 
     The alkoxycarbonyl group preferably includes methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl and butoxycarbonyl. 
     When A 2  and A 3  together form a saturated or unsaturated ring which may contain a hetero atom, a nitrogen atom or an oxygen atom is used as the hereto atom and further an alkyl chain or an alkynyl chain required for forming a ring having 2 to 8 carbon atoms is preferably used. Specific examples of a cyclic group formed by A 2  and A 3  with the nitrogen atom bonded to A 2  and A 3  include ethyleneimino, pyrrolidyl, pyrrolyl, pyrrolinyl, pyrazyl, pyrazolinyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, piperldino, morpholino, piperazinyl, indolyl and plynyl groups. 
     Among the above-described definitions of A 2  and A 3 , the compound in which A 2  and A 3  together form the above ring is preferred because of its high herbicidal activity. 
     Further, in the present invention, when B 1  is a hydrogen atom and B 2  is alkyl, the compound of the formula (1) is an R- or S-enantiomer with regard to the asymmetric carbon to which B 1  and B 2  are bonded or a mixture of these enantiomers.

     (263) 1-cyano-1-(N,N-dibenzyl)aminocarbonyl-3-[4-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenoxy]-2-butanone. 
     The above compounds are particularly industrially easily produced and have excellent herbicidal activity. 
     The cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1), provided by the present invention, can be structurally identified by measurements of infrared absorption spectrum (IR), mass spectrum (MS) and  1  H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum ( 1  H-NMR) and elemental analysis. Typical patterns thereof are as follows. 
     (i) In the measurement of the cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) for infrared absorption spectrum (IR), a characteristic absorption based on the ether bond is observed at 1,180 to 1,230 cm -1 , and a characteristic absorption based on the cyano group is observed at 2,210 to 2,220 cm -1 . 
     (ii) The cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) is measured for mass spectrum (MS), and its composition formula corresponding to each peak observed (generally, a value of m/e obtained by dividing an ion molecular weight, m, by a number of charge, e) is calculated, whereby the molecular weight of the cyanoketone compound and the bonding mode of each atomic group in the molecule can be determined. That is, when a sample measured has the formula (1), there are generally observed molecular ion peaks (to be abbreviated as &#34;M +  &#34; hereinafter) having strength according to an isotopic abundance depending upon the number of halogen atoms contained in the molecule, and the molecular weight of the sample therefore can be determined. Further, the molecular weight generally appears as a mass number of each ion derived from the sample which has been cleaved in positions indicated by dotted lines in the following formula (8) ##STR10## wherein A 1 , X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3 , Y 4 , B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , A 2  and A 3  are as defined above. 
     (iii) The bonding mode of hydrogen bonds in the compound of the present invention, represented by the above formula (1), can be determined by measurement of the compound for  1  H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum ( 1  H-NMR). That is, in the measurement of the compound of the formula (1) in a heavy chloroform solvent, a peak of methine substituted with a cyano group often appears at 5.50 to 5.70 ppm as a multiplier since the carbon atom to which the cyano group is bonded is an asymmetric carbon, and protons on the phenyl group show a multiplet at 6.70 to 7.50 ppm. 
     (iv) The weight of each of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (and halogen if contained) is determined by elemental analysis, and then by deducting the total sum of recognized weight percentages of these elements from 100, the weight percentage of oxygen can be determined. Accordingly, the composition formula of the compound can be determined. 
     The cyanoketone derivative of the present invention generally is a light yellow or yellowish brown viscous body or solid at room temperature under atmospheric pressure. 
     The cyanoketone derivative of the present invention is well-dissolved in organic solvents such as benzene, ethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. However, it is slightly soluble or insoluble in hexane, heptane and water.

     A study of the present inventors has showed that the novel cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1), provided by the present invention, has very high herbicidal activity. 
     According to the present invention, therefore, there is also provided a herbicide containing the cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) as an effective or active component. 
     The form for use of the herbicide of the present invention is not specially limited, and can be selected from known forms. For example, it can be used in the form of any one of granules, a dust, an emulsifiable concentrate, a wettable powder, a flowable agent, a tablet, an aerosol and a fuming agent, which are prepared by using an inert solid carrier, a liquid carrier or an emulsification dispersant in combination. 
     Further, In the preparation of the formulation, there may be incorporated an auxiliary agent such as a wetting agent, a diluent and a surfactant. The herbicide of the present invention can be used in the form of a liquid or a solid to which the above auxiliary agent is properly incorporated. A surfactant is often effective for improvement in the dispersibility of the herbicide in water or an oil. 
     The above surfactant can be selected from known anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and nonionic surfactants used for the preparation of general herbicides. Examples of the particularly suitable surfactants include alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, alkylnaphthalenesulfonlc acid, fatty acid sulfonate, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether sulfonate, sodium alkylsulfate, sodium lignin sulfonate and polyalkylnaphthalene sulfonate. 
     Typical examples of the form of the cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) for use as a herbicide are as follows. 
     A wettable powder and granules generally contain an inert solid carrier and a surfactant in addition to the active component of the formula (1). The inert solid carrier is generally selected from natural or synthetic inorganic powders. The most preferred are, for example, clays, talc, potassium carbonate, diatomaceous earth and silica. The wettable powder and granules generally contain 1 to 80 parts by weight of the active component, 5 to 98 parts by weight of the inert solid carrier and 1 to 15 parts by weight of the surfactant. Polyvinyl alcohol and sodium carboxymethylcellulose may naturally be incorporated as required. 
     The emulsifiable concentrate is generally prepared by dissolving the active component and the surfactant in a solvent. The solvent is preferably selected from those which can dissolve the active component. Typical examples of the solvent include xylene, phenoxyethanol, cyclohexane, solvent naphtha, methylnaphthalene and kerosene. The emulsifiable concentrate generally contains 75 to 20 parts by weight of the active component, 10 to 20 parts by weight of the surfactant and 15 to 60 parts by weight of the solvent. 
     The dust is a product in which the active component is held on a natural or synthetic inorganic powder. The dust is generally prepared by mixing 0.5 to 6 parts by weight of the active component and 99.5 to 94 parts by weight of the inorganic powder. 
     The flowable agent is a suspension product prepared by suspending the active component insoluble in water, and adding a dispersant to disperse the suspended active component in water. It is the most widely employed embodiment to suspend 20 to 50% by weight of the active component. 
     The fuming agent is prepared by incorporating a heat generating agent and a heat generation adjuster. The heat generating agent is selected from nitrates, nitrites, guanidine salts and potassium chlorate. The heat generation adjuster is selected from alkali metal salts and potassium nitrates. 
     The novel cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) has remarkably high herbicidal activity and is effective against a variety of gramineous weeds. Examples of the weeds against which the herbicidal activity is generally effective include upland soil gramineous weeds such as fall panicum, green foxtail, sorghum, wild oat, Japanese brome, water foxtail, annual bluegrass, barnyardgrass, Johnsongrass, quackgrass, southern crabgrass, goosegrass, Italian ryegrass, burmudagrass and knotgrass. 
     The cyanoketone derivative of the formula (1) is a novel compound which has high selectivity, i.e., remarkably high herbicidal activity against gramineous weeds and safety for broad-leaved crops. Therefore, It has characteristic features in that it is completely harmless to crops such as soybean, adzuki bean, peanut, sunflower, cotton, etc., even when it is used in a high dosage. When the compound of the formula (1), provided by the invention, is sprayed as a herbicide to gramineous plants, not only the use of it as a soil-applied herbicide is effective, but the use of it as a foliar-applied herbicide is also effective. 
     In general, the suitable dosage as an active component of the herbicide of the present invention is in the range of 0.05 to 20.0 kg/h, preferably 0.10 to 6.0 kg/h.

     5 Parts by weight of the above cyanoketone derivative, 50 parts by weight of bentonire, 40 parts by weight of water and 5 parts by weight of Sorpol 800A(TOHO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD) as a surfactant were mixed and pulverized to form a paste. The paste was extruded through holes having a diameter of 0.7 mm, and the extrudate was dried and cut to a length of 1 to 2 mm to give 5% granules. 
     Example 11 (Herbicidal effect by foliar application) 
     Upland farm soil (clay loam) was filled in  1/8, 850-are pots, and seeds of barnyardgrass, green foxtail, blue morningglory, slender amaranth and hairy beggarticks were sown 0.5 to 1 cm deep. When these weeds grown to two- or three-leaf stage, a wetting agent was added to solutions prepared by diluting wettable powders of the compounds with water, and a predetermined amount of each of the mixtures was sprayed to the foliage. After the application, the weeds were allowed to grow in a greenhouse at an average temperature of 25° C. for 2 weeks, and then the herbicidal effects of compounds tested were examined. In addition to compounds of the present invention, the comparative compound (No.14) of the following formula ##STR482## was also tested. 
     The results are shown in Tables 19 to 25. 
     In addition, the above herbicidal effects were evaluated on the basis of the following six ratings, 0 to 5.

     Example 12 (Test on phytotoxicity on crops by foliar application) 
     Upland farm soil (clay loam) was filled in 1/8 850-are pots, and seeds of soybean, adzuki bean and beet were sown 1.5 to 2 cm deep. When the soybean grown to a primary leaf development stage, the predetermined amount of each of the solutions prepared by diluting each of wettable powders of the compounds with water was sprayed to the foliage. After this application, these crops were allowed to grow in a greenhouse at an average temperature of 25° C. for 2 weeks, and then the phytotoxicity of each of the test compounds on the crops was examined. The results are shown in Tables 26 to 30. 
     The herbicide injury was evaluated as follows. The ratios of the height and total weight (air-dried weight) of an applied lot to those of an unapplied lot were calculated. The lowest ratios of these factors were taken as 5, and the phytotoxicity was evaluated on the basis of the following six ratings 0 to 5. 
     0 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 100% 
     1 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 90-99% 
     2 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 80-89% 
     3 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 60-79% 
     4 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 40-59% 
     5 . . . ratio to unapplied lot 0-39%

     Example 12 (Test on herbicidal effect by upland farm soil application) 
     Upland farm soil (clay loom) was filled in 1/8, 850-are pots, and seeds of barnyardgrass, green foxtail, slender amaranth and hairy beggarticks were sown 0.5 to 1 cm deep. Then, the predetermined amount of each of the solutions prepared by diluting the wettable powders of the compounds with water was sprayed to the soil. After the application, the weeds were allowed to grow in a greenhouse at an average temperature of 25° C. for 2 weeks, and then the herbicidal effects of the test compounds were examined in the same manner as the above Table.
