ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to novel substituted benzoyl ketones, to processes for their preparation and to their use as herbicides.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is already known that certain substituted benzoyl ketones have herbicidal properties. (cf. EP-A-625505, EP-A-625508, U.S. Pat. No. 5,804,532, U.S. Pat. No. 5,846,906, WO-A-96/26193). However, the activity of these compounds is not entirely satisfactory.
This invention, accordingly, provides the novel substituted benzoyl ketones of the formula (I),
in which
n represents 0, 1, 2 or 3,
A represents a single bond or represents alkanediyl (alkylene),
R
1
represents hydrogen or represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl or cycloalkyl,
R
2
represents hydrogen, cyano, carbamoyl, halogen, or represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl,
R
3
represents hydrogen, nitro, cyano, carboxyl, carbamoyl, thiocarbamoyl, halogen, or represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsulphonyl, alkylamino, dialkylamino or dialkylaminosulphonyl,
R
4
represents nitro, cyano, carboxyl, carbamoyl, thiocarbamoyl, halogen, or represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsulphonyl, alkylamino, dialkylamino or dialkylaminosulphonyl, and
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Z represents an optionally substituted 4- to 12-membered, saturated or unsaturated, monocyclic or bicyclic, heterocyclic grouping which contains 1 to 4 hetero atoms (up to 4 nitrogen atoms and optionally—alternatively or additionally—one oxygen atom or one sulphur atom, or one SO grouping or one SO
2
grouping) and which additionally contains one to three oxo groups (C═O) and/or thioxo groups (C═S) as components of the heterocycle,
including all possible tautomeric forms of the compounds of the general formula (I) and the possible salts of the compounds of the general formula (I).
In the definitions, the hydrocarbon chains, such as alkyl or alkanediyl, are in each case straight-chain or branched—including in combination with heteroatoms, such as in alkoxy.
n preferably represents 0, 1 or 2.
A preferably represents a single bond or represents alkanediyl (alkylene) having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
