The present invention relates to novel 2-phenoxypyrimidine derivatives, processes for their production, herbicidal compositions containing them, and a method for their application as herbicides to paddy rice fields, upland fields and non-agricultural fields.
It is disclosed that some 2-phenoxypyrimidine derivatives have herbicidal activities, for instance, in (1) Arg. Biol. Chem. Vol. 30, No. 9, p. 896 (1966), (2) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55729/1979, (3) Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 117486/1979 and (4) Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 9474/1967.
However, the compounds disclosed in such publications and literature have no adequate herbicidal effects against annual weeds, and they exhibit no substantial herbicidal activities against perennial weeds.
Now, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to Examples. However, it should be understood that the present invention is by no means restricted to such specific Examples.
Ten ml of dimethylformamide was added to a suspension in toluene (100 ml) of methyl 4-aminosalicylate (7.7 g), 4,6-dimethoxy-2-methylsulfonylpyrimidine (10.1 g) and 60% sodium hydride (1.9 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then refluxed under heating for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the above identified compound as a pale yellow crystal (8.0 g). (Melting point: 106.degree.-108.degree. C.)
2-Chloro-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine (0.5 g) was added to a suspension in dimethylformamide (7 ml) of methyl 5-cyanosalicylate (0.5 g) and 35% potassium hydride (0.15 g), and the mixture was reacted for 5 hours under reflux of dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was poured into a large amount of water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the above identified compound as a white crystal (0.17 g). (Melting point: 79.degree.-82.degree. C.).
