cyano, nitro or COOH; and agronomically acceptable salts M+ and all stereoisomers and
tautomers of the compounds of the formula I. , . -
The compounds of the formula I can be present in different isomeric forms which can be isolated in pure form. The invention therefore also embraces all stereoisomeric forms of the compound of the formula I. Examples of these isomeric forms are the formulae Ix, Ixx, Ixxx and Ixxxx below, in which Q is the group Q2.

The alkyl groups occurring in the definitions of the substituents can be straight-chain or branched and are, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl and octyl and their branched isomers. Alkoxy, alkenyl and alkynyl radicals are derived from the alkyl radicals mentioned. The alkenyl and alkynyl groups can be mono- or polyunsaturated.
Halogen is generally fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. This also applies, correspondingly, to halogen in combination with other meanings, such as haloalkyl or halophenyl.
Haloalkyl groups preferably have a chain length of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Haloalkyl is, for example, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, chloromethyl, dichloromethyl, trichloromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, 2-chloroethyl, pentafluoroethyl, 1,1-difluoro-2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoroethyl and 2,2,2-trichloroethyl; preferably

trichloromethyl, difluorochloromethyl, difluoromethyi, trifluoromethyl and dichlorofluoromethyl.
Suitable haloalkenyl groups are alkenyl groups which are mono- or polysubstituted by halogen, halogen being fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine and in particular fluorine and chlorine, for example 2,2-difluoro-1-methylvinyl, 3-fluoropropenyl, 3-chioropropenyl, 3-bromopropenyl, 2,3,3-trifluoropropenyl, 2,3,3-trichloropropenyl and 4,4,4-trifiuorobut-2-en-1-yl. Among the C3-C2oalkenyl groups which are mono-, di- or trisubstituted by halogen, preference is given to those having a chain length of from 3 to 5 carbon atoms.
Suitable haloalkynyl groups are, for example, alkynyl groups which are mono- or polysubstituted by halogen, halogen being bromine, iodine and in particular fluorine and chlorine, for example 3-fluoropropynyl, 3-chloropropynyl, 3-bromopropynyl, 3,3,3-trifluoropropynyl and 4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-yn-1-yi.

C2H5N c NH(CH2)3N(CH3)2 (formed from N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide
(EDC) and the corresponding carboxylic acid) are employed. These compounds are reacted in an inert organic solvent, for example a halogenated hydrocarbon, for example dichloromethane, a nitrile, for example acetonitrile, or an aromatic hydrocarbon, for example toluene, and in the presence of a base, for example an alkylamine, for example triethylamine, an aromatic amine, for example pyridine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), with the dione derivatives of the formula III, IV, V or VI to give the isomeric enol ethers of the formulae VII, VIII, IX and X. This esterification is carried out at temperatures of from 0°C to 110°C.
The isomerization of the ester derivatives of the formulae VII, VIII, IX and X to the dione derivatives of the formula I (in which R2o, R23. R26 and R30 are hydroxyl) can be carried out, for example, analogously to EP 369 803 in the presence of a base, for example an alkylamine, for example triethylamine, a carbonate, for example potassium carbonate, and a catalytic amount of DMAP or a cyanide source, for example acetone cyanohydrin or potassium cyanide.

carried out in the presence of a solvent, for example an amide, for example N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a sulfoxide, for example dimethylsuifoxide (DMSO), or a nitrile, for example acetonitrile. The ketene thioacetal of the formula XIV which is formed is cyclized with the aid of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a base, for example sodium acetate, in a solvent, for example an alcohol, for example ethanol, or an ether, for example tetrahydrofuran, to give the compound of the formula le in which Z is sulfur. This cyclization reaction is carried out at temperatures of from 0°C to 100°C. If appropriate, compounds of the formulae le and If (Z is sulfur) can be oxidized analogously to known standard processes, for example with peracids, for example meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) or peracetic acid, to give the corresponding sulfones and sulfoxides of the formulae le and If (Z = SO- or S02-). Here, the degree of oxidation at the sulfur atom (Z = SO- or S02-) can be controlled by the amount of oxidizing agent.
Oxidations to the compounds of the formulae le and If (Z is SO- or S02-) are carried out as described, for example, in H.O. House, "Modern Synthetic Reactions" W. A. Benjamin, Inc., Menlo Park, California, 1972, pages 334-335 and 353-354.

According to reaction scheme 3, the compounds of the formula II (X=leaving group) or II (X=halogen) are prepared, for example, by employing a halogenating agent, for example a thionyl halide, for example thionyl chloride or thionyl bromide; a phosphorus halide or phosphorus oxyhalide, for example phosphorus pentachloride or phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus pentabromide or phosphoryl bromide; or an oxalyl halide, for example oxalyl chloride, or by employing a reagent for the formation of activated esters, for example N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) of the formula X. For the compound of the formula X used as halogenating agents, X is a leaving group, for example halogen, for example fluorine, bromine or iodine and in particular chlorine, and W, is, for example, PCI2, SOCI, SOBr or CICOCO. The reaction is carried out in the presence or absence of an inert organic solvent, for example in aliphatic, halogenated aliphatic, aromatic or halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, for example n-hexane, benzene, toluene, xylenes, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane or chlorobenzene, at reaction temperatures in the range of from -20°C to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, preferably at 40-150°C, and in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide. Such reactions are generally known and described in the literature in various variations with respect to the leaving group X.
The compounds of the formulae III, IV, V and VI are known and can be prepared analogously to the methods described, for example, in WO 92/07337, DE-A-3818958, EP-A-0 338 992 and DE-A-3902818.
The compounds of the formula XII in reaction scheme 2 can be obtained by standard processes, for example from the corresponding compounds of the formula II


in which R and m are as defined above and X is a leaving group, for example halogen, for example via Claisen condensation, or from the compounds of the formula II by reaction with a ketocarboxylic acid salt of the formula XV

in which R36 is as defined under formula I and M+ is an alkali metal ion (cf., for example, WO 96/26192).
The compounds of the formulae II and XI are known and can be prepared analogously to the methods described, for example, in WO 97/46530, EP-A-0 353 187, Heterocycles, 48, 779 (1998), Heterocycles, 46, 129 (1997), or Tetrahedron Letters, 1749 (1998).
For preparing all other compounds of the formula I functionalized according to the definition of (R)m, there is a large number of known standard processes available, for example alkylation, halogenation, acylation, amidation, oximation, oxidation and reduction, and the choice of the suitable preparation processes depends on the properties (reactivities) of the substituents in the intermediates in question.
All further compounds originating from the scope of the formula I can be prepared in a simple manner, taking into account the chemical properties of the pyridyl or Q moiety.
The end products of the formula I can be isolated in a customary manner by concentration or evaporation of the solvent and be purified by recrystallization or trituration of the solid residue in solvents in which they are only sparingly soluble, such as ethers, aromatic

hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons, by distillation or by means of column chromatography and a suitable mobile phase.
Furthermore, it is known to the person skilled in the art in which order certain reactions have to be carried out advantageously to avoid possible side reactions. Unless a targeted synthesis is carried out for isolating pure isomers, the product may be obtained as a mixture of two or more isomers. The isomers can be separated by methods known per se.
Compounds of the formula I in which p is 1, i.e. the corresponding N-oxides of the formula I, can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula I in which p is 0 with a suitable oxidizing agent, for example with the H202 urea adduct, in the presence of an acid anhydride, for example trifluoroacetic anhydride. This reaction sequence is demonstrated using the example of group Q2 below:

Compounds of the formula I in which R in the ortho position to the pyridine nitrogen is 1-chloro-C1-C2alkyl, 1-hydroxy-C1-C2alkyl, 1-(C1-C6alkylcarbonyloxy)-CrC2alkyl, 1-benzoyloxy-d-C2alkyl, 1 -(CrC4alkoxycarbonyloxy)-C1-C2alkyl, 1 -(C1-C4alkylthio)-C1-C2alkyl, 1 -(Cl-C4-alkylsulfinyl)-C1-C2alkyl, 1 -(C1-C4alkylsulfonyl)-C1-C2alkyl, 1 -thiocyanato-C1-C2alkyl, 1-cyano-C1-C2alkyl, can also be prepared, for example, by heating an N-oxide of the formula I under known reaction conditions, for example in the presence of tosyl chloride (see, for example, Parham, W. £.; Sloan, K. B.; Reddy, K. R.; Olson, P. E.; J Org Chem 1973, 38, 927) or in the presence of an acid anhydride (see, for example, Konno, K.; Hashimoto, K.; Shirahama, H.; Matsumoto, T.; Heterocycles 1986, 24, 2169), followed, if appropriate, by subsequent conversion.

The formulations, i.e. the compositions, formulations or preparations comprising the active compound of the formula I or at least one active compound of the formula I and as a rule one or more soJid or liquid formulation auxiliaries, are prepared in a known manner, for example by intimate mixing and/or grinding of the active compounds with the formulation auxiliaries, for example solvents or solid carriers. Surface-active compounds (surfactants) can furthermore additionally be used during the preparation of the formulations. Examples of solvents and solid carriers are given, for example, in WO 97/34485 on page 6. Depending on the nature of the active compound of the 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.

The surfactants conventionally used in the art of formulation and which are suitable to .prepare the herbicidal compositions according to the invention-are described, inter alia, in "Mc Cutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiere Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood New Jersey, 1981, Stache, H., "Tensid-Taschenbuch" [Surfactant handbook], Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich/Vienna, 1981 and M. and J. Ash, "Encyclopedia of Surfactants", Vol l-lll, Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1980-81.
The herbicidal formulations as a rule comprise 0.1 to 99% by weight, in particular 0.1 to 95% by weight, of herbicide, 1 to 99.9% by weight, in particular 5 to 99.8% by weight, of a solid or liquid formulation auxiliary and 0 to 25% by weight, in particular 0.1 to 25% by weight, of a surfactant. While concentrated compositions are rather preferred as commercial goods, the end user as a rule uses dilute compositions. The compositions can also comprise further additives, such as stabilizers, for example epoxidized or non-epoxidized vegetable oils (epoxidized coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), defoamers, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers and fertilizers or other active compounds.
The active compounds of the formula I are as a rule applied to the plants or their habitat, at application rates of 0.001 to 4 kg/ha, in particular 0.005 to 2 kg/ha. The dosage required for the desired effect can be determined by tests. It depends on the nature of the effect, the development stage of the crop plant and the weed and on the application (location, time, process) and can, as a function of these parameters, vary within wide ranges.
The compounds of the formula I have herbicidal and growth-inhibiting properties, owing to which they can be used in crops of useful plants, in particular in cereals, cotton, soya, sugar beet, sugar cane, plantings, rapeseed, maize and rice, and for the non-selective control of weeds. Crops include those which have been rendered tolerant towards herbicides or
»
herbicide classes by conventional breeding methods or genetical engineering methods. The weeds to be controlled can be both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds, for example Stellaria, Nasturtium, Agrostis, Digitaria, Avena, Setaria,
The examples below illustrate the invention in more detail, without limiting it.

At 70°C, 25 g (0.106 mol) of (3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-6-trifluoromethyl)pyrid-2-one (Helv. Chim. Acta (1988), 71(3), 596-601) in a mixture of 50 ml of dimethylformamide and 20 ml of water are treated, in the presence of 16 g (0.116 mol) of finely powdered potassium carbonate and with efficient stirring, with a continuous stream of gaseous Freon-22. After 6 hours, a further 16 g of potassium carbonate and 20 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide are added, and the mixture is stirred with continuous introduction of Freon-22 gas at a temperature of 100°C for another 4 hours. The mixture is then treated with water and ice and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase is adjusted to pH 2 using cone. HCI and extracted with ethyl acetate. Diethyl ether is added to the extract, and some (3-(carboxy)-6-trifiuoromethyl)pyrid-2-one crystals which have precipitated out are removed by filtration. The filtrate is filtered through a silica gel column (mobile phase ethyl acetate/hexane 1:1) giving, as a crystalline product, pure 2-difluoromethoxy-6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid: 1H NMR (CDCI3, ppm): 8.60, d, J=9 Hz, 1H; 7.62, d, J=9 Hz , 1H; 7.62, t, J=67 Hz, 1H.

In intervals of about 20 hours, manganese dioxide (total amount of Mn02 used: 213 g) is added six more times over a period of 3 days, and the mixture is in each case heated further under reflux. The mixture is then cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, and filtered through silica gel, the filtercake is washed with ethyl ester and the filtrate is concentrated. The solid residue (26.7 g, i.e. 80%), which may still contain about 6% of starting material, is directly reacted further.

Biological Examples
Example B1: Herbical action before emergence of the plants (pre-emerqence action) Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous test plants are sown in standard soil in plastic pots. Immediately after sowing, the test substances are sprayed on (500 I of water/ha) as an aqueous suspension (prepared from a 25% wettable powder (Example F3, b) according to WO 97/34485) or emulsion (prepared from a 25% emulsion concentrate (Example F1, c)), corresponding to a dosage of 2 kg of AS/ha. The test plants are then grown under optimum conditions in a greenhouse. After a test period of 3 weeks, the test is evaluated with a nine-level scale of ratings (1 = complete damage, 9 = no effect). Ratings of 1 to 4 (in particular 1 to 3) mean good to very good herbicidal action.
