Full Text The present invention relates to 2,4,5-trisubstituted phenylketoenols compounds of the formula (I) and process thereof.
The invention relates to new phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols, several processes and intermediate products for their preparation and their use as pest control agents and herbicides.
It has already been disclosed that certain phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols are active as insecticides, acaricides and/or herbicides.
Pharmaceutical properties have already been described for 3-acyl-pyrrolidine-2,4-diones (S. Suzuki et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 15 1120 (1967)). Furthermore, N-phenylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones have been synthesized by R. Schmierer and H. Mildenberger (Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1985, 1095). No biological activity has been described for these compounds.
EP-A-0 262 399 and GB-A-2 266 888 disclose compounds of similar structure (3-aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4-diones), of which, however, no herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal action has been disclosed. Known compounds which have a herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal action are unsubstituted, bicyclic 3-aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-355 599 and EP-A-415 211) and substituted monocyclic 3-aryl-pyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-377 893 and EP-A-442 077).
Compounds which are furthermore known are polycyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-442 073) and lH-arylpyrrolidine-dione derivatives (EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334, EP-A-596 298, EP-A-613 884, EP-A-613 885, DE 44 40 594, WO 94/01 997 and WO 95/01 358).
It is known that certain substituted A -dihydrofuran-2-one derivatives have herbicidal properties (cf. DE-A-4 014 420). The synthesis of the tetronic acid derivatives used as starting compounds (such as, for example, 3-(2-methyl-phenyl)-4-hydroxy-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-Δ3-dihydrofuran-2-one) is likewise described in DE-A-4 014 420. Compounds of similar structure, without an insecticidal and/or acaricidal activity being mentioned, are known from the publication Campbell et al., J. Chem. Soc, Perkin Trans. 1, 1985. (8) 1567-76. 3-Aryl-Δ3-dihydrofuranone derivatives having herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal properties are furthermore known from EP-A-528 156, EP-A 0 647 637 and WO 95/26345.

Certain phenyl-pyrone derivatives which are unsubstituted in the phenyl ring have already been disclosed (cf. AM. Chirazi, T. Kappe and E. Ziegler, Arch. Pharm. 309, 558 (1976) and K.-H. Boltze and K. Heidenbluth, Chem. Ber. 9JL, 2849), no possible usefulness of these compounds as pest control agents being mentioned. Phenyl-pyrone derivatives which are substituted in the phenyl ring and have herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal properties are described in EP-A-588 137.
Certain 5-phenyl-l,3-thiazine derivatives which are unsubstituted in the phenyl ring have already been disclosed (cf. E. Ziegler and E. Steiner, Monatsh. 95, 147 (1964), R. Ketcham, T. Kappe and E. Ziegler, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 10, 223 (1973)), no possible use as pest control agents being mentioned for these compounds. 5-Phenyl-l,3-thiazine derivatives which are substituted in the phenyl ring and have a herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal action are described in WO 94/14 785.
However, the acaricidal and insecticidal activity and/or range of action and the plant tolerance of these compounds, in particular with respect to crop plants, is not always adequate. Statement of Invention

The active compounds according to the invention are distinguished by a high
insecticidal and acaricidal activity.
They can be employed particularly successfully against insects which are harmful
to plants, such as, for example, against the larvae of the mustard beetle (Phaedon
cochleariae) or against the larvae of the rice green leafhopper (Nephotettix
cincticeps) and against the larvae of the cabbage moth (Plutella maculipennis).
The active compounds according to the invention can furthermore be used as
defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as
weed-killers. By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants
which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances
according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially
on the amount used.
The dosages of the active compounds according to the invention necessary for
combating weeds are between 0.001 and 10 kg/ha, preferably between 0.005 and
5 kg/ha.
The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in
connection with the following plants:
Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria,
Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus,
Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia,
Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium,
Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea,
Trifolium, Ranunculus and Taraxacum.
- 88 -
Dicotyledon cultures of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus,
Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon,
Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita.
Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria,
Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus,
Sorghum, Agropyron, Cycnodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis,
Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus
and Apera.
Monocotyledon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena,
Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.
However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way
restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total
combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths
and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be
employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations,
decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana
plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm
plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hop fields, on ornamental
and sports lawns and meadow areas and for the selective combating of weeds in
annual cultures.
The active compounds according to the invention are particularly suitable for
selectively combating monocotyledon weeds in dicotyledon crops by the pre- and
post-emergence method. For example, they can be employed very successfully for
combating harmful grasses in cotton or sugar beet.
The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as
solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents,
pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and
synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in
polymeric substances.
- 89 -
These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the
active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers,
optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is emulsifying agents and/or
dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents.
In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example,
also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the
main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated
aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes,
chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as
cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable
oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones,
such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone,
strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, as
well as water.
As solid carriers there are suitable:
for example, ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays,
talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground
synthetic minerals, such as highly disperse silica, alumina and silicates; as solid
carriers for granules there are suitable: for example, crushed and fractionated
natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as
synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic
material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; as
emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example, non-ionic
and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene
fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates,
alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumen hydrolysis products; as
dispersing agents there are suitable: for example, lignin-sulphite waste liquors and
methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in
the form of powders, granules or latexes, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol
and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and
lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Further
additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide,
titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs,
azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts
of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active
compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compound according to the invention can be present in its
commercially available formulations and in the use forms prepared from these
formulations as a mixture with other active compounds, such as insecticides, baits,
sterilizing agents, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances
or herbicides. The insecticides include, for example, phosphoric acid esters,

The active compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are also
suitable for combating arthropods which infest agricultural productive livestock
such as, for example, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, donkeys, camels, buffalo,
rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and bees, other pets, such as, for example,
dogs, cats, cage birds and aquarium fish, and also so-called test animals, such as,
for example, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and mice. By combating these arthropods
cases of death and reductions in productivity (for meat, milk, wool, hides, eggs,
honey etc) should be diminished, so that more economic animal husbandry is
possible by use of the active compounds according to the invention.

formula (I) can be used as formulations (for example powders, emulsions,
compositions capable of flow) which comprise the active compounds in an amount
of 1 to 80% by weight, directly or after 100 to 10,000-fold dilution, or they can be
used as a chemical bath.
It has furthermore been found that the compounds of the formula I according to
the invention display a high insecticidal action against insects which destroy
industrial materials.
The following insects may be mentioned as examples and preferred - but without
being limited:

Industrial materials in the present connection are to be understood as meaning
non-living materials, such as, preferably, plastics, adhesives, sizes, papers and
cards, leather, wood and processed wood products, and lacquers and paints.
Material to be preserved from insect damage which is quite particularly preferred
is wood and processed wood products.
Wood and processed wood products which can be protected by the agents
according to the invention or mixtures comprising these are to be understood as
meaning, for example: building timber, wooden beams, railway sleepers, bridge
components, boat gangplanks, wooden vehicles, crates, pallets, containers,
telegraph masts, wood lagging, wooden windows and doors, plywood, chipboards,
joinery or wood products used quite generally in house construction or building
joinery.
The active compounds can be used as such or in the form of concentrates or
generally customary formulations, such as powders, granules, solutions,
suspensions, emulsions or pastes.
The formulations mentioned can be prepared in a manner known per se, for
example by mixing the active compounds with at least one solvent or diluent,
emulsifier, dispersing agent and/or binder or fixing agent, water repellant,
optionally siccatives and UV stabilizers, and if appropriate dyestuffs and pigments,
as well as other processing auxiliaries.
The insecticidal compositions or concentrates used for preservation of wood and
derived timber products comprise the active compound according to the invention
in a concentration of 0.0001 to 95% by weight, in particular 0.001 to 60% by
weight.
The amount of composition or concentrate employed depends on the nature and
the occurrence of the insects and on the medium. The optimum amount employed
for the use can in each case be determined by a series of tests. In general,
however, it is sufficient to employ 0.0001 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.001 to
10% by weight, of the active compound based on the material to be preserved.
The solvent and/or diluent used is an organochemical solvent or solvent mixture
and/or an oily or oil-like organochemical solvent or solvent mixture of low
volatility and/or a polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or water
and, if appropriate, an emulsifier and/or wetting agent.
Oily or oil-like solvents having an evaporation number above 35 and a flash point
above 30°C, preferably above 45°C, are preferably employed as organochemical
solvents. Corresponding mineral oils or aromatic fractions thereof or solvent
mixtures containing mineral oil, preferably white spirit, petroleum and/or
alkylbenzene, are used as such water-insoluble, oily and oil-like solvents of low
volatility.
Mineral oils having a boiling range from 170 to 220°C, white spirit having a
boiling range from 170 to 220°C, spindle oil having a boiling range from 250 to
350°C, petroleum or aromatics having a boiling range from 160 to 280°C,
terpentine oil and the like are advantageously employed.
In a preferred embodiment, liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons having a boiling range
from 180 to 210°C or high-boiling mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic
hydrocarbons having a boiling range from 180 to 220°C and/or spindle oil and/or
monochloronaphthalene, preferably oc-monochloronaphthalene, are employed.
The organic oily or oil-like solvents of low volatility having an evaporation
number above 35 and a flash point above 30°C, preferably above 45°C, can be
replaced in part by organochemical solvents of high or medium volatility, provided
that the solvent mixture likewise has an evaporation number above 35 and a flash
point above 30°C, preferably above 45°C, and that the insecticide/fungicide
mixture is soluble or can be emulsified in this solvent mixture.
According to a preferred embodiment, some of the organochemical solvent or
mixture. Aliphatic organochemical solvents containing hydroxyl and/or ester
and/or ether groups, such as, for example, glycol ethers, esters or the like, are
preferably used.
Organochemical binders which are the synthetic resins and/or binding drying oils
which are water-dilutable and/or soluble or dispersible or emulsifiable in the
organochemical solvents employed and are known per se, in particular binders
consisting of or comprising an acrylate resin, a vinyl resin, for example polyvinyl
acetate, polyester resin, polycondensation or polyaddition resin, polyurethane resin,
alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin, phenolic resin, hydrocarbon resin, such as
indene-coumarone resin or silicone resin, drying plant and/or drying oils and/or
binders which dry by physical means and are based on a naturally occurring
and/or synthetic resin.
The synthetic resin used as the binder can be employed in the form of an
emulsion, dispersion or solution. Bitumen or bituminous substances can also be
used as binders in an amount of up to 10% by weight. In addition, dyestuffs,
pigments, water-repellant agents, odour correctants and inhibitors or corrosion
prevention agents and the like which are known per se can be employed.
Preferably, according to the invention, the composition or concentrate comprises at
least one alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin and/or one drying plant oil as an
organochemical binder. Alkyd resins having an oil content of more than 45% by
weight, preferably 50 to 68% by weight, are preferably used according to the
invention.
All or some of the binder mentioned can be replaced by a fixing agent (mixture)
or a plasticizer (mixture). These additives are intended to prevent evaporation of
the active compounds and crystallization or precipitation They preferably replace
0.01 to 30% of the binder (based on 100% of the binder employed).
The plasticizers originate from the chemical classes of phthalic acid esters, such as
dibutyl, dioctyl or benzyl butyl phthalate, phosphoric acid esters, such as tributyl
phosphate, adipic acid esters, such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, stearates, such as
butyl stearate or amyl stearate, oleates, such as butyl oleate, glycerol ethers or
higher molecular weight glycol ethers, glycerol esters and p-toluenesulphonic acid
esters.
Fixing agents are based chemically on polyvinyl alkyl ethers, such as, for
example, polyvinyl methyl ether, or ketones, such as benzophenone or
ethy leneb enzophenone.
Water in particular is also a possible solvent or diluent, if appropriate mixed with
one or more of the abovementioned organochemical solvents or diluents,
emulsifiers and dispersing agents.
Particularly effective wood preservation is achieved by impregnation processes on
a large industrial scale, for example vacuum, a double vacuum or pressure
processes.
If appropriate, the ready-to-use compositions can also comprise other insecticides,
and if appropriate also one or more fungicides.
Possible additional admixing partners are, preferably, the insecticides and
fungicides mentioned in WO 94/29 268. The compounds mentioned in this
document are an express constituent of the present application.
Especially preferred admixing partners can be insecticides, such as chlorpyriphos,
phoxim, silafluofin, alphamethrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin,
permethrin, imidacloprid, NI-25, flufenoxuron, hexaflumuron and triflumuron,

Test with fly larvae / development-inhibiting action
Test animals: All larval stages of Lucilia cuprina (OP-resistant)
[pupae and adults (without contact with the active compound)]
Solvent: 35 parts by weight of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether
35 parts by weight of nonylphenol polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable formulation, 3 parts by weight of active compound are
mixed with seven parts of the abovementioned solvent/emulsifier mixture and the

concentration.
30 to 50 larvae per concentration are introduced onto horse-meat (1 cm3), in glass
tubes, onto which 500 \i\ of the dilution to be tested are pipetted. The glass tubes
are placed in plastic beakers, the base of which is covered with beach sand, and
are stored in a climatically controlled room (26°C ± 1.5°C, 70% relative humidity
± 10%). The action is checked after 24 hours and 48 hours (larvicidal action).
After emergence of the larvae (about 72 hours), the glass tubes are removed and
perforated plastic lids are placed on the beakers. After \Vi times the development
period (hatching of the control flies), the flies which have hatched and the
pupae/pupae cases are counted.
The criterion for the action is the onset of death among the treated larvae after
48 hours (larvicidal effect) or the inhibition of hatching of adults from the pupae
or the inhibition of pupae formation. The criterion for the in vitro action of a
substance is the inhibition of flea development or a halt in development before the
adult stage. 100% larvicidal action means that all the larvae have died after 48
hours. 100% development-inhibiting action means that no adult flies have hatched.
In this test, for example, the compound according to Preparation Example I-4-a-l
caused an action of 100% at an active compound concentration of, for example,
1000 ppm.

1 and I-4-b-l had an action of 100% at an active compound concentration of, for
example, 20 ug per animal.

Example H
Test with fly larvae / development-inhibiting action
Test animals: All larval stages of Lucilia cuprina (OP-resistant)
[pupae and adults (without contact with the active compound)]
Solvent: 35 parts by weight of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether
35 parts by weight of nonylphenol polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable formulation, 3 parts by weight of active compound are
mixed with seven parts of the abovementioned solvent/emulsifier mixture and the
emulsion concentrate thus obtained is diluted with water to the particular desired
concentration.
30 to 50 larvae per concentration are introduced onto horse-meat (1 cm3), in glass
tubes, onto which 500 \i\ of the dilution to be tested are pipetted. The glass tubes
are placed in plastic beakers, the base of which is covered with beach sand, and
are stored in a climatically controlled room (26°C ± 1.5°C, 70% relative humidity
± 10%). The action is checked after 24 hours and 48 hours (larvicidal action).
After emergence of the larvae (about 72 hours), the glass tubes are removed and
perforated plastic lids are placed on the beakers. After \Vi times the development
period (hatching of the control flies), the flies which have hatched and the
pupae/pupae cases are counted.
The criterion for the action is the onset of death among the treated larvae after
48 hours (larvicidal effect) or the inhibition of hatching of adults from the pupae
or the inhibition of pupae formation. The criterion for the in vitro action of a
substance is the inhibition of flea development or a halt in development before the
adult stage. 100% larvicidal action means that all the larvae have died after 48
hours. 100% development-inhibiting action means that no adult flies have hatched.
In this test, for example, the compound according to Preparation Example I-4-a-l
caused an action of 100% at an active compound concentration of, for example,
1000 ppm.

Test with Boophilus microplus resistant/SP-resistant Parkhurst strain
Test animals: Adult satiated females
Solvent: Dimethyl sulphoxide
20 mg of active compound are dissolved in 1 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide, and
lower concentrations are prepared by dilution in the same solvent.
The test is carried out as a 5-fold determination. 1 (il of the solutions is injected
into the abdomen and the animals are transferred to dishes and kept in a
climatically controlled room. The action is determined via the inhibition of
oviposition. 100% means that no tick has laid.
In this test, for example, the compounds according to Preparation Examples I-4-a-
1 and I-4-b-l had an action of 100% at an active compound concentration of, for
example, 20 ug per animal.
