Claim:
A (4-haloalkyl-3-thiobenzoyl)cyclohexanedione of formula (I) and/or salt thereof in which X is (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, Y is (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkyl, A and Z independently of one another are oxygen, —S(O) m —, —N(R 5 )—, carbonyl or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylene which is interrupted by q units from the group consisting of oxygen, —S(O) m —, —N(R 5 )— and carbonyl, and which is substituted by s radicals R 6 , R 1 is (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, R 2 is hydroxyl, SR′, NR 8 R 9 , R 3 and R 4 are independently of one another hydrogen or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, R 5 is hydrogen, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkylcarbonyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxycarbonyl, phenylcarbonyl or phenoxycarbonyl, the phenyl ring in the two last-mentioned radicals being substituted by p halogen atoms and by p radicals from the group consisting of nitro, cyano, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, and (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkoxy, R 6 is halogen, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkoxy or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy-(C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, R 7 is (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl or is phenyl which is substituted by p halogen atoms or by p radicals from the group consisting of nitro, cyano, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, and (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkoxy, R 8 is hydrogen, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, R 9 is hydrogen or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, or R 8 and R 9 , with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a 5- or 6-membered saturated, partially saturated or fully unsaturated ring which contains m further heteroatoms from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, and which is substituted by s halogen atoms and by p radicals from the group consisting of cyano, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkoxy, and (C 1 -C 4 )-haloalkoxy, m and n independently of one another are 0, 1 or 2, p is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, q is 0 or 1, and s is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8; with the proviso that Y excludes trifluoromethyl.
