Compounds of formula (I) wherein the substituents are as defined in claim, are suitable for use as herbicides. Also claimed is a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, wherein m is 2 and n is 1, and the other substituents are defined as in claim, formula (Ia) by reacting a compound of the formula Ia in a single step or stepwise in succession with compounds of the formula R&#x2014;X and/or R&#x2014;X, wherein Rand Rare as defined in claim, and X is a leaving group, and a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, wherein Ris C-Calkyl or halogen, m is 2 and n is 1, and the other substituents are defined as in claim, formula (Ib) by reacting a compound of the formula Ib with a compound of the formula R&#x2014;X, wherein Ris as defined in claim, and X is a leaving group, and a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, wherein Ris chlorine, bromine or iodine, m is 1 or 2, and n is 1, and the other substituents are defined as in claim, formula (Ic) by reacting a compound of the formula 1e with an N-halosuccinimide and an oxidising agent.
