The present invention relates to herbicidal) active pyridyl-/pyrimidyl-pyrazine derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Pyrazine-4-carbamate or -urea derivatives as herbicides

The present invention relates to herbicidal) active pyridyl-/pyrimidyl-pyridine derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Herbicidally active pyridyl-/pyrimidyl-pyrimidine derivatives

The present invention relates to herbicidally active pyridyl-/pyrimidyl-pyrazine derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Herbicidally active pyridyl-/pyrimidyl-pyrazine derivatives

The present invention relates to herbicidally active pyridino-/pyrimidino-pyridine derivatives. The invention further provides processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Herbicides

The present invention relates to herbicidally active pyridino-/pyrimidino-pyridine derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) wherein: wherein R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, Rand G are as defined herein; and wherein the compound of formula (I) is optionally present as an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof. These compounds are thought to be suitable for use as herbicides. The invention therefore also relates to a method of controlling weeds, especially grassy monocotyledonous weeds, in crops of useful plants, comprising applying a compound of formula (I), or a herbicidal composition comprising such a compound, to the plants or to the locus thereof. 

The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) wherein R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, Rand G are as defined herein; and wherein the compound of formula (I) is optionally present as an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof. These compounds are suitable for use as herbicides. The invention therefore also relates to a method of controlling weeds, especially grassy monocotyledonous weeds, in crops of useful plants, comprising applying a compound of formula (I), or a herbicidal composition comprising such a compound, to the plants or to the locus thereof. 

This invention relates to a formulation comprising a compound of formula (I) where R1 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl; R2 is methyl or ethyl; R3 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; and n is 1, 2 or 3; to the use of a compound of formula (I) as a solvent; and to certain novel compounds of formula (I).
