Full Text The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I).
The present invention relates to novel 2,4,6-phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols, to a plurality of processes for their preparation and to their use as pesticides and/or herbicides.
Moreover, the invention relates to novel selective herbicidal active compound combinations comprising firstly the 2,4,6-phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols and secondly at least one compound which improves crop plant tolerance, which combinations can be used with particularly good results for the selective control of weeds in various crops of useful plants.
Pharmaceutical properties of 3-acylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones have already been described (S. Suzuki et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 15 1120 (1967)). Furthermore, N-phenylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones were synthesized by R. Schmierer and H. Mildenberger (Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1985, 1095). A biological activity of these compounds has not been described.
EP-A-0 262 399 and GB-A-2 266 888 disclose compounds of a similar structure (3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones), of which, however, no herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal action has been disclosed. Unsubstituted, bicyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-355 599, EP-A-415 211 and JP-A-12-053670) and substituted monocyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-377 893 and EP-A-442 077) having herbicidal, insecticidal or acaricidal action have been disclosed.
There have also been disclosed polycyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-442 073) and 1H-arylpyrrolidinedione derivatives (EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334, EP-A-596 298, EP-A-613 884, EP-A-613 885, WO 94/01 997, WO 95/26 954, WO 95/20 572, EP-A-0 668 267, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 97/43275, WO 98/05638, WO 98/06721, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/24437, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673, WO 01/17972, WO 01/23354, WO 01/74770, WO 03/062244, WO 04/024688, WO 04/007448, WO 04/080962, WO 04/065366, DE-A-10326386).
It is known that certain substituted 3-dihydrofuran-2-one derivatives have herbicidal properties (cf. DE-A-4 014 420).

application rates and concentrations, not always entirely satisfactory. Furthermore, these

Furthermore, it has been found that the novel compounds of the formula (I) are highly active as
pesticides, preferably as insecticides, acaricides and herbicides.
Surprisingly, it has now also been found that certain substituted cyclic ketoenols, when used
jointly with the compounds which improve crop plant tolerance (safeners/antidotes) described
below, are extremely effective in preventing damage to the crop plants and can be used especially
advantageously as combination products with a broad range of activity for the selective control of
unwanted plants in crops of useful plants, such as, for example, in cereals, but also in maize,
soybeans and rice.
The invention also relates to selective herbicidal compositions with an effective content of an
active compound combination comprising, as components,
a1) at least one substituted cyclic ketoenol of the formula (I) in which CKE, W, X and Y are
as defined above
and

Surprisingly, it has now been found that the above-defined active compound combinations of
substituted ketoenols of the general formula (I) and safeners (antidotes) from the above group (b') are
not only very well tolerated by useful plants, but also have a particularly high herbicidal activity and
can be used in a variety of crops, in particular in cereals (mainly wheat), but also in soybeans,
potatoes, maize and rice, for the selective control of weeds.
It must be considered as surprising that, from a multiplicity of known safeners or antidotes which are
capable of antagonizing the damaging effect of a herbicide on the crop plants, it is precisely the
abovementioned compounds of group (b') which are capable of virtually completely compensating
for the harmful effect of substituted cyclic ketoenols of the formula (I) on the crop plants without
adversely affecting the herbicidal activity towards the weeds to a substantial degree.
What must be emphasized in this context is the particularly advantageous activity of the particularly
and most preferred combination partners from group (b'), in particular with regard to leaving cereal
plants, such as, for example, wheat, barley and rye, but also maize and rice, as crop plants unharmed.
The active compound combinations according to the invention can be used, for example, in the
following plants:

potassium. It is also possible to use alkali metal and alkaline earth metal amids and hydrides, such
as sodium amide, sodium hydride and calcium hydride, and, preferably, also alkali metal
alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium isopropoxide, sodium tertbutoxide
and potassium tert-butoxide.
When carrying out the process (P) according to the invention, the reaction temperatures can be
varied within a relatively wide range. In general, the process is carried out at temperatures between
0°C and 250°C, preferably between 50°C and 150°C. The process (P) according to the invention is
generally carried out under atmospheric pressure.
When carrying out the process (P) according to the invention, the reaction components of the
formulae (I-l-a1) to (I-8-a1) are generally reacted with an excess of the alcohol W-OH and the base
up to 20 mol, preferably 3 to 5 mol. The copper(I) salts are generally employed in catalytic
amounts of from 0.001 to 0.5 mol, preferably from 0.01 to 0.2 mol. However, they can also be
employed in equimolar amounts.
The active compounds are well tolerated by plants and have advantageous toxicity to warm-blooded
species; they can be employed for controlling animal pests, in particular insects, arachnids and
nematodes encountered in agriculture, forests, in the protection of stored products and materials and
in the hygiene sector. They are preferably used as crop protection agents. They are active against
normally sensitive and resistant species and against all or some stages of development. The

If appropriate, the compounds or active compound combinations according to the invention may
also be used in certain concentrations or application rates to act as herbicides. If appropriate, they
can also be employed as intermediates or precursors for the synthesis of further active compounds.
All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are to be
understood as meaning in the present context all plants and plant populations such as desired and
undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be
plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by
biotechnological and recombinant methods or by combinations of these methods, including the
transgenic plants and inclusive of the plant cultivars protectable or not protectable by plant
breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of plants above
and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned
being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes.
The plant parts also include harvested material, and vegetative and generative propagation
material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offsets and seeds.
The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active compounds or
active compound combinations is carried out directly or by allowing the compounds to act on the
surroundings, environment or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for example by
immersion, spraying, evaporation, fogging, scattering, painting on or injection and, in the case of
propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, also by applying one or more coats.
The active compounds or active compound combinations can be converted into the customary
formulations such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes,
soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials
impregnated with active compound, and microencapsulations in polymeric materials.
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 surfactants,
that is, emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers.
If the extender used is water, it is also possible, for example, to use organic solvents as cosolvents.
The following are essentially suitable as liquid solvents: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or
alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as
chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as
cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols
such as butanol or glycol and 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, or else water.
Suitable solid carriers are:
for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk,
quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic materials such as
highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates; suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example
crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, or
else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as
sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or foam formers
are: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters,
polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates,
alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates, or else protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are: for example
lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of
powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else
natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in
the formulations. Other 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 colorants such as alizarin colorants, azo colorants and metal
phthalocyanine colorants, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper,
cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active compound,
preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in their formulations, can also be
used as a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides or insecticides, for
example in order to widen the spectrum of action or to prevent the development of resistances in
this way. In many cases, synergistic effects result, i.e. the activity of the mixture exceeds the
activity of the individual components.

185984-60-5) (cf. WO 96/37494, WO 98/25923),
and preparations which contain insecticidally active plant extracts, nematodes, fungi or viruses.
A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth
regulators is also possible.
When used as insecticides in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms prepared
with these formulations, the active compounds according to the invention can furthermore exist in the
form of a mixture with synergists. Synergists are compounds by which the activity of the active
compounds is increased without it being necessary for the synergist added to be active itself.
The active compound content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available
formulations can vary within broad ranges. The active compound concentration of the use forms can
be from 0.0000001 up to 95% by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.0001 and 1% by
weight.
They are applied in a customary manner adapted to suit the use forms.
When used against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compound or active
compound combination is distinguished by excellent residual action on wood and clay as well as
good stability to alkali on limed substrates.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants or their parts in accordance with the
invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species or plant varieties and plant cultivars which
have been obtained by traditional biological breeding methods, such as hybridization or protoplast
fusion, and the parts of these varieties and cultivars are treated. In a further preferred embodiment,
transgenic plants and plant cultivars which have been obtained by recombinant methods, if
appropriate in combination with conventional methods (genetically modified organisms), and their
parts are treated. The term "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" has been explained above.
Plants which are treated particularly preferably in accordance with the invention are those of the plant
cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use. Plant cultivars are understood as
meaning plants with new traits which have been bred either by conventional breeding, by
mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They may take the form of cultivars, biotypes and
genotypes.
Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate,
vegetation period, nutrition), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive
("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widened activity
spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions which can be used in
accordance with the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures,
increased tolerance to drought or to salinity in the water or soil, increased flowering performance,
facilitated harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher yields, higher quality and/or better nutritional
value of the harvested products, better storage characteristics and/or processability of the harvested
products are possible which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.
The preferred transgenic plants or plant cultivars (those obtained by recombinant methods) to be
treated in accordance with the invention include all those plants which, owing to the process of
recombinant modification, were given genetic material which confers particular, advantageous,
valuable traits to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased
tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to salinity in the water or
soil, increased flowering performance, facilitated harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher yields,
higher quality and/or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage characteristics
and/or better processability of the harvested products. Further examples of such traits, examples
which must be mentioned especially, are better defence of the plants against animal and microbial
pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses and an increased
tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidal active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which
may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soybeans,
potato, cotton, oilseed rape, beet, sugar cane and fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits
and grapes), with particular emphasis on maize, soybeans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits
which are especially emphasized are the increased defence of the plants against insects, owing to
toxins being formed in the plants, in particular toxins which are generated in the plants by the genetic
material of Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CrylA(a), CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CryEIA,
CrylUA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, CrySBb and CrylF and their combinations; hereinbelow "Bt
plants"). Other traits which are particularly emphasized are the increased defence of plants against
fungi, bacteria and viruses by the systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins,
elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Other traits which
are especially emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidal active
compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example
"PAT" gene). The genes which confer the desired traits in each case may also be present in the
transgenic plants in combination with one another. Examples of "Bt plants" which may be mentioned

sheep, goats, horses, pigs, donkeys, camels, buffaloes, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese,
honeybees, other domestic animals, such as, for example, dogs, cats, cage birds, aquarium fish, and
so-called experimental animals, such as, for example, hamsters, guinea-pigs, rats and mice. By
combating these arthropods, it is intended to reduce deaths and decreased performances (in meat,
milk, wool, hides, eggs, honey and the like), so that more economical and simpler animal keeping
is made possible by using the active compounds according to the invention.
In the veterinary sector, the active compounds or active compound combinations according to the
invention are used in a known manner by enteral administration, for example in the form of tablets,
capsules, drinks, drenches, granules, pastes, boli, the feed-through method, suppositories, by
parenteral administration, such as, for example, by means of injections (intramuscular,
subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal and the like), implants, by nasal application, by dermal
administration, for example in the form of dipping or bathing, spraying, pouring-on and spottingon,
washing, dusting, and with the aid of shaped articles which comprise active compound, such as
collars, ear tags, tail marks, limb bands, halters, marking devices and the like.
When administered to livestock, poultry, domestic animals and the like, the active compounds or
active compound combinations can be used as formulations (for example powders, emulsions,
flowables) which comprise the active compounds in an amount of 1 to 80% by weight, either
directly or after dilution by a factor of 100 to 10 000, or they may be used in the form of a
chemical bath.

Industrial materials are to be understood as meaning, in the present context, non-live materials,
such as, preferably, synthetic materials, glues, sizes, paper and board, leather, wood and timber
products, and paint. The materials to be very particularly preferably protected against attack by
insects are wood and timber products.
Wood and timber products which can be protected by the composition according to the invention
or mixtures comprising such a composition are to be understood as meaning, for example:
construction timber, wooden beams, railway sleepers, bridge components, jetties, wooden vehicles,
boxes, pallets, containers, telephone poles, wood cladding, windows and doors made of wood,
plywood, particle board, joiner's articles, or wood products which, quite generally, are used in the
construction of houses or in joinery.
The active compounds or active compound combinations can be used as such, 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, dispersant and/or binder or
fixative, water repellent, if appropriate desiccants and UV stabilizers and, if appropriate, colorants
and pigments and other processing auxiliaries. The insecticidal compositions or concentrates used
for the protection of wood and wooden materials 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 the compositions or concentrates employed depends on the species and the
occurrence of the insects and on the medium. The optimum rate of application can be determined
upon use in each case by a test series. However, in general, it suffices 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
protected.
The solvent and/or diluent used is an organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or an oily or
oil-type 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.
Organochemical solvents which are preferably employed are oily or oil-type solvents having an
evaporation number of above 35 and a flashpoint of above 30°C, preferably above 45°C.
Substances which are used as such oily and oil-type solvents which have low volatility and are
insoluble in water are suitable mineral oils or their aromatic fractions, or mineral-oil-containing
solvent mixtures, preferably white spirit, petroleum and/or alkylbenzene.
Substances which are advantageously used are mineral oils with a boiling range of 170 to 220°C,
white spirit with a boiling range of 170 to 220°C, spindle oil with a boiling range of 250 to 350°C,
petroleum or aromatics of boiling range 160 to 280°C, essence of terpentine and the like.
In a preferred embodiment, liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 180 to 210°C or
high-boiling mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 180 to 220°C
and/or spindle oil and/or monochloronaphthalene, preferably a-monochloronaphthalene, are used.
The organic oily or oil-type solvents of low volatility having an evaporation number of above 35
and a flashpoint of above 30°C, preferably above 45°C, can be partially replaced by
organochemical solvents of high or medium volatility, with the proviso that the solvent mixture
also has an evaporation number of above 35 and a flashpoint of above 30°C, preferably above
45 °C, and that the insecticide/fungicide mixture is soluble or emulsifiable in this solvent mixture.
In a preferred embodiment, part of the organochemical solvent or solvent mixture is replaced by an
aliphatic polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture. Substances which are preferably used
are aliphatic organochemical solvents having hydroxyl and/or ester and/or ether groups, such as,
for example, glycol ethers, esters and the like.
The organochemical binders used within the scope of the present invention are the synthetic resins
and/or binding drying oils which are known per se and can be diluted with water and/or are soluble
or dispersible or emulsifiable in the organochemical solvents employed, in particular binders
composed 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, phenol resin, hydrocarbon resin, such as indene/cumarone resin, silicone
resin, drying vegetable and/or drying oils and/or physically drying binders based on a natural
and/or synthetic resin.
The synthetic resin used as the binder can be employed in the form of an emulsion, dispersion or
solution. Up to 10% by weight of bitumen or bituminous substances can also be used as binders. In
addition, colorants, pigments, water repellents, odour-masking substances and inhibitors or
anticorrosives known per se and the like can also be employed.
The composition or the concentrate preferably comprises, in accordance with the invention, at least
one alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin and/or a drying vegetable oil as the organochemical binder.
Preferably used according to the invention are alkyd resins with an oil content of over 45% by
weight, preferably 50 to 68% by weight.
All or some of the abovementioned binder can be replaced by a fixative (mixture) or a plasticizer
(mixture). These additives are intended to prevent volatilization of the active compounds and
crystallization or precipitation. They preferably replace 0.01 to 30% of the binder (based on 100%
of binder employed).
The plasticizers are from the chemical classes of the phthalic esters, such as dibutyl phthalate,
dioctyl phthalate or benzyl butyl phthalate, the phosphoric esters, such as tributyl phosphate, the
adipic esters, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, the stearates, such as butyl stearate or amyl stearate,
the oleates, such as butyl oleate, the glycerol ethers or relatively high-molecular-weight glycol
ethers, glycerol esters and p-toluenesulphonic esters.
Fixatives are chemically based on polyvinyl alkyl ethers, such as, for example, polyvinyl methyl
ether, or ketones, such as benzophenone or ethylenebenzophenone.
Particularly suitable as a solvent or diluent is also water, if appropriate as a mixture with one or
more of the abovementioned organochemical solvents or diluents, emulsifiers and dispersants.
Particularly effective protection of wood is achieved by large-scale industrial impregnation
processes, for example vacuum, double-vacuum or pressure processes.
If appropriate, the ready-to-use compositions can additionally comprise other insecticides and, if
appropriate, additionally one or more fungicides.
Suitable additional components which may be admixed are, preferably, the insecticides and
fungicides mentioned in WO 94/29 268. The compounds mentioned in that document are expressly
part of the present application.
Very particularly preferred components which may be admixed are insecticides, such as

The compounds or active compound combinations according to the invention can at the same time
be employed for protecting objects which come into contact with salt water or brackish water, in
particular hulls, screens, nets, buildings, moorings and signalling systems, against fouling.
Fouling by sessile Oligochaeta, such as Serpulidae, and by shells and species from the
Ledamorpha group (goose barnacles), such as various Lepas and Scalpellum species, or by species
from the Balanomorpha group (acorn barnacles), such as Balanus or Pollicipes species, increases
the frictional drag of ships and, as a consequence, leads to a marked increase in operation costs
owing to higher energy consumption and additionally frequent residence in the dry dock.
Apart from fouling by algae, for example Ectocarpus sp. and Ceramium sp., fouling by sessile
Entomostraka groups, which come under the generic term Cirripedia (cirriped crustaceans), is of
particular importance.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the compounds according to the invention, alone or in
combination with other active compounds, have an outstanding antifouling action.
Using the compounds according to the invention, alone or in combination with other active
compounds, allows the use of heavy metals such as, for example, in bis(trialkyltin) sulphides, tri-nbutyltin
laurate, tri-tt-butyltin chloride, copper(I) oxide, triethyltin chloride, tri-«-butyl-(2-phenyl-
4-chlorophenoxy)tin, tributyltin oxide, molybdenum disulphide, antimony oxide, polymeric butyl

plasticizers, modifiers which affect the rheological properties and other conventional constituents.
The compounds according to the invention or the abovementioned mixtures may also be
incorporated into self-polishing antifouling systems.
The active compounds or active compound combinations are also suitable for controlling animal
pests, in particular insects, arachnids and mites, which are found in enclosed spaces such as, for
example, dwellings, factory halls, offices, vehicle cabins and the like. They can be employed in

Depending on the concentration, the active compounds or active compound combinations
according to the invention are suitable for the nonselective weed control on, for example,
industrial terrains and railway tracks and on paths and locations with and without trees. Likewise

perennial crops, for example forests, ornamental tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves,
nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm
plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantations and hop fields, on lawns, turf and pastureland,
and for the selective control of weeds in annual crops.
The compounds or active compound combinations according to the invention have strong
herbicidal activity and a broad activity spectrum when used on the soil and on aerial plant parts.
To a certain extent, they are also suitable for the selective control of monocotyledonous and
dicotyledonous weeds in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, both pre- and postemergence.
At certain concentrations or application rates, the active compounds or active compound
combinations according to the invention can also be employed for controlling animal pests and
fungal or bacterial plant diseases. If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates or
precursors for the synthesis of other active compounds.
The active compounds or active compound combinations can be converted into the customary
formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents,
pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials
impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.
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 surfactants, that
is emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam-formers.
If the extender used is water, it is also possible to use, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary
solvents. Suitable liquid solvents are essentially: 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, and also
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, and
also water.
Suitable solid carriers are: 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 finely divided silica, alumina and silicates, suitable solid carriers for granules are:
for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and
dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic
material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or
foam-formers are: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid
esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers,
alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are:
for example lignosulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of
powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, and also
natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the
formulations. Other possible additives are 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 generally comprise between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound,
preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in their formulations, can also be
used for weed control purposes as a mixture with known herbicides and/or with substances which
improve crop plant tolerance ("safeners"), ready mixes or tank mixes being possible. Mixtures
with herbicide products which contain one or more known herbicides and a safener are hence also
possible.
Herbicides which are suitable for the mixtures are known herbicides, for example

A mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insectides, acaricides,
nematicides, bird repellents, plant nutrients and soil conditioners, is also possible.
The active compounds or active compound combinations can be applied as such, in the form of
their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use
solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are applied in the
customary manner, for example by pouring, spraying, atomizing, spreading.
The active compounds or active compound combinations according to the invention can be applied
both before and after plant emergence. They can also be incorporated into the soil prior to
planting.
The application rate of active compound can vary within a substantial range. Essentially, it
depends on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the application rates are between 1 g and
10 kg of active compound per hectare of soil area, preferably between 5 g and 5 kg per ha.
The advantageous effect of the compatibility with crop plants of the active compound
combinations according to the invention is particularly pronounced at certain concentration ratios.
However, the weight ratios of the active compounds in the active compound combinations can be
varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, from 0.001 to 1000 parts by weight, preferably
from 0.01 to 100 parts by weight, particularly preferably 0.05 to 20 parts by weight, of one of the
compounds which improves crop plant compatibility (antidotes/safeners) mentioned above under
(b1) are present per part by weight of active compound of the formula (I).
The active compound combinations according to the invention are generally applied in the form of
finished formulations. However, the active compounds contained in the active compound
combinations can, as individual formulations, also be mixed during use, i.e. be applied in the form
of tank mixes.
For certain applications, in particular by the post-emergence method, it may furthermore be
advantageous to include, as further additive in the formulations, mineral or vegetable oils which
are tolerated by plants (for example commercial preparation "Rako Binol"), or ammonium salts,
such as, for example, ammonium sulphate or ammonium thiocyanate.
The novel active compound combinations can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or
the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions,
emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. Application is in the customary manner, for example by
watering, spraying, atomizing, dusting or scattering.
The application rates of the active compound combinations according to the invention can be
varied within a certain range; they depend, inter alia, on the weather and on soil factors. In general,
the application rates are between 0.001 and 5 kg per ha, preferably between 0.005 and 2 kg per ha,
particularly preferably between 0.01 and 0.5 kg per ha.
The active compound combinations according to the invention can be applied before and after
emergence of the plants, that is to say by the pre-emergence and post-emergence method.
Depending on their properties, the safeners to be used according to the invention can be used for
pretreating the seed of the crop plant (seed dressing) or can be introduced into the seed furrows
prior to sowing or be used separately prior to the herbicide or together with the herbicide, before or
after emergence of the plants.
Examples of plants which may be mentioned are important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat,
rice), maize, soybeans, potatoes, cotton, oil seed rape, beet, sugar cane and also fruit plants (with
the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapevines), greater emphasis being given to maize,
soybeans, potatoes, cotton and oil seed rape.
The preparation and the use of the active compounds according to the invention are illustrated by
the examples below.

1. Herbicidal pre-emergence action
Seeds of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed and crop plants are placed into sandy loam
in wood fibre pots and covered with soil. The test compounds, formulated in the form of wettable
powders (WP), are then, in various dosages as aqueous suspension with a water application rate of
600 1/ha (converted), with 0.2% of wetting agent added, applied to the surface of the covering soil.
After the treatment, the pots are placed in a greenhouse and kept under good growth conditions for
the test plants. The visual assessment of the emergence damage on the test plants is carried out
after a trial period of 3 weeks by comparison with untreated controls (herbicidal effect in per cent
(%):100% effect = the plants have died, 0% effect = like control plants).
2. Herbicidal post-emergence action
Seeds of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed and crop plants are placed into sandy loam
in wood fibre pots, covered with soil and cultivated in a greenhouse under good growth conditions.
2-3 weeks after sowing, the test plants are treated at the one-leaf stage. The test compounds,
formulated as wettable powders (WP), are, in various dosages with a water application rate of
600 1/ha (converted), with 0.2% of wetting agent added, sprayed onto the green parts of the plants.

Example G
Herbicidal action and safener action, pre-emergence or post-emergence
Seeds of rhizome pieces of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous harmful plants and of crop
plants are placed into sandy loam in pots made of peat, covered with soil and cultivated in a
greenhouse under growth conditions. In the pre-emergence application, safener and herbicide are
applied after sowing, the post-emergence treatment is carried out about two to three weeks after
sowing, at the three-leaf stage of the test plants. The herbicide/safener active compound
combinations according to the invention, formulated as emulsion concentrates, and in parallel
experiments the correspondingly formulated individual active compounds are, at various dosages
at a water application rate of 300 1/ha (converted), sprayed onto the surface of the soil when
applied by the pre-emergence method and onto the green parts of the plants when applied by the
post-emergence method. Pre-emergence evaluation is carried out after 2-4 weeks, post-emergence
evaluation is carried out after 1-3 weeks. During this time, the test plants are kept in a greenhouse
under optimum growth conditions. The effect of the preparation is scored visually in comparison
to untreated controls.
Container trials with cereal in the greenhouse.
Safener and herbicide were applied successively to the plants by the post-emergence method
(application rates: see Tables)
(Table Removed)
Example H
Safener action after seed dressing
The number of crop plant seeds needed for each safener application rate was calculated. Based on
the weight of 100 seeds, sufficient seeds were weighed into screw top glass bottles approximately
twice the volume of the seeds.
The prospective safeners were formulated as wettable powders or water-dispersible granules.
These formulations were weighed out so that the required application rates (g of a.i./kg of seed)
were obtained. The samples were added to the seeds in the bottles, followed by sufficient water to
produce a seed dressing. The bottles were closed and then placed in an overhead shaker (set at
medium speed for a period of up to one hour) so that the seeds were evenly coated with the seed
dressing. The bottles were opened and the seeds were used in the pre-emergence tests.
Pre-emergence application of herbicides
The safener-treated seeds and untreated seeds as controls were sown in a sandy loam soil in round
pots having a diameter of 7 to 13 cm and covered with approximately 0.5 to 1 cm of a 1:1 mix of
sandy loam soil and sand. The herbicides, as liquid (for example emulsifiable concentrates) or dry
(for example wettable powders) formulations, were diluted to the required concentrations using
deionized water and applied to the soil surface using a track sprayer calibrated to deliver 300 litres
of spray solution per hectare.
The pots were placed under good growing conditions in a greenhouse, and a visual assessment of
the herbicidal effects was made 3 to 4 weeks after the application of the herbicide. The assessment
was on a percentage basis in comparison,to untreated control plants (0% = no damage, 100% =
complete kill).

Example I
Critical concentration test/soil insects - treatment of transgenic plants
Test insect: Diabrotica balteata - larvae in soil
Solvent: 7 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is
mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the
concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
The preparation of active compound is poured onto the soil. Here, the concentration of active
compound in the preparation is virtually immaterial, only the amount by weight of active
compound per volume unit of soil, which is stated in ppm (mg/1), matters. The soil is filled into
0.25 1 pots, and these are allowed to stand at 20°C.
Immediately after the preparation, 5 pregerminated maize corns of the cultivar YIELD GUARD
(trade mark of Monsanto Comp., USA) are placed into each pot. After 2 days, the appropriate test
insects are placed into the treated soil. After a further 7 days, the efficacy of the active compound
is determined by counting the maize plants that have emerged (1 plant = 20% activity).
