Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of controlling weeds at a locus, said method comprising application to the locus of a weed controlling amount of a herbicidal composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), or an agronomically acceptable salt of said compounds wherein X, R1, R2, R4 and R5 are as defined herein. The invention further relates novel herbicidal compounds, to herbicidal compositions comprising said compounds and to their use for controlling weeds, in particular in crops of useful plants.
Claims13

- X is CR3 or N;
- R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkyl, C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C6haloalkoxy, C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C6alkylamino, C1-C6dialkylamino-, piperidino, morpholino, cyano, C1-C6alkyl-S(O)p- and C1-C6haloalkyl-S(O)p—;
- R4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkyl, C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, halogen, cyano, nitro, C1-C6alkyl-S(O)p- and C1-C6haloalkyl-S(O)p—;
- or R3 and R4 together form a saturated 5- or 6-membered ring, optionally containing an oxygen or a S(O)p heteroatom, the 5- or 6-membered ring being optionally substituted by one or more R6;
- R5 is selected from the group consisting of, hydrogen, halogen, C1-C6 alkyl and C1-C6 haloalkyl;
- or R4 and R5 together form a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring, optionally containing a nitrogen heteroatom, the 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring being optionally substituted by one or more R6;
- R6 is selected from the group consisting of halogen, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkyl, Cr C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6haloalkoxy-C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkoxy-C1-C6alkyl-, C1-C6alkoxy and C1-C6haloalkoxy;
- and
- p=0, 1 or 2.
A compound of Formula (Ic′):—
- or an agronomically acceptable salt thereof,
- wherein:—
- R1 is methyl;
- R2 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, fluoro, chloro, trifluoromethyl and methyl-S(O)2—;
