1-Alkyl-4-benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazole compounds in which the benzoyl moiety is substituted in the 2-position with a halo, alkyl, or alkoxy group, in the 4-position with an alkylsulfonyl group, and in the 3-position with an optionally substituted phenyl group, for example, 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-(2-methyl-4-methyl-sulfonyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazole, were prepared and found to be useful for the control of a variety of broadleaf and grassy weeds. The compounds can be applied either preemergently or postemergently and can be used to control undesirable vegetation selectively in small grain crops and turf or non-selectively.

1-alkyl-4-benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazole compounds and their use as herbicides

1-Alkyl-4-benzoyl-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole compounds in which the benzoyl moiety is substituted in the 2-position with groups such as halo or alkyl, in the 4-position with an alkylsulfonyl group, and in the 3-position with an acyclic or cyclic derivatized amino group, such as 1-ethyl-4-(2-chloro-4-methylsulfonyl-3-(morpholin-4-yl)benzoyl-5-hydroxy-1 H-pyrazole, were prepared and found to be useful for the control of a variety of broadleaf and grassy weeds. The compounds can be applied either preemergently or postemergently and can be used to control undesirable vegetation in corn, rice, and wheat crops.
