ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the technical field of the herbicides, in particular that of the herbicides from the benzoylcyclohexanedione group, for the selective control of broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds in crops of useful plants, in particular in rice crops.
It has already been disclosed in a variety of publications that certain benzoylcyclohexanediones have herbicidal properties. Thus, EP-A 0 319 075, WO 92/07837 and WO 96/22958 disclose benzoylcyclohexandiones with a haloalkoxy radical in the 3-position of the phenyl ring. WO 98/42648 mentions benzoylcyclohexanediones which have a variety of amino radicals attached to them in the 3-position. WO 99/10327 and WO 01/32636 describe herbicidally active benzoyl-cyclohexanediones with a heterocyclic substituent in the 3-position, which is bonded via an oxygen-carbon bridge.
However, the herbicidal activity of the compounds known from these publications is frequently insufficient. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide herbicidally active compounds whose herbicidal properties are improved over the compounds disclosed in the prior art.
It has now been found that derivatives of benzoylcyclohexanediones whose phenyl ring has certain radicals from the aminocarbonylalkyl group attached to it in the 3-position—bonded to the phenyl ring via an atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen—are particularly suitable as herbicides. The present invention therefore relates to compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof

In the event that R
4
is OH, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention can exist in different tautomeric structures, depending on the external conditions such as solvent and pH. Depending on the nature of the substituents, the compounds of the formula (I) contain an acidic proton, which can be removed for example by reaction with a base. Examples of suitable bases are hydrides, hydroxides and carbonates of alkali and alkaline earth metals, such as lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, and also ammonia and organic amines such as triethylamine and pyridine. The invention likewise relates to such salts.
In formula (I) and all subsequent formulae, alkyl radicals with more than two carbon atoms can be straight-chain or branched. Alkyl radicals are, for example, methyl, ethyl, n- or i-propyl, n-, i-, t- or 2-butyl, pentyls, hexyls such as n-hexyl, i-hexyl and 1,3-dimethylbutyl. Likewise, the carbon chain X
2
can be straight-chain or branched, depending on the number of carbon atoms which it contains. The radicals bonded thereto can be in any desired position of this chain.
