ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to uracil compounds and use thereof.
An object of the present invention is to provide compounds having excellent herbicidal activity.
Recently, a number of herbicides are commercially available and used. However, since there are many kinds of weeds to be controlled and generation thereof occurs over a long period of time, a herbicide is required having higher herbicidal effect, having wider herbicidal spectrum and causing no problem of phytotoxicity on crops.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,859,229 discloses that certain kinds of phenyluracil compounds have herbicidal activity, however, these phenyluracil compounds do not always have sufficient ability as a herbicide. Also WO 97/01541, and WO 98/41093 disclose that kinds of substituted phenoxyphenyl uracil compounds have herbicidal activity, however, the compounds do not always have sufficient ability as a herbicide.
The present inventors have intensively investigated to find compounds having excellent herbicidal activity, and resultantly, found that uracil compounds of the following formula [I] have excellent herbicidal activity, leading to completion of the present invention. Namely, the present invention provides uracil compounds [I] of the formula [I] (hereinafter, referred to as present compound):
