The invention concerns novel compounds of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkyl, acyl, alkylsulfonyl, benzenesulfonyl, substituted benzenesulfonyl, and an inorganic or organic cation;

Herbicidal cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives

A process of inhibiting the growth of, severely damaging, or killing plants which process comprises applying to the plant or to the growth medium thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising as active ingredient a compound of formula I: ##STR1## wherein A, B and D are independently chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, thiocyano, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted alkenyloxy, optionally substituted alkynyloxy, optionally substituted alkylthio, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted amino, optionally substituted phenyl, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted carbamoyl, sulfo, alkylsulfonyl and optionally substituted sulfamoyl; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano, thiocyano, formyl, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted alkylcarbonyl, optionally substituted amino, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted carbamoyl, sulfo, alkoxysulfonyl, optionally substituted sulfamoyl and the groups YR.sup.1 and ##STR2## wherein Y is oxygen or sulphur and R.sup.1 is chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted acyl, optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted phenyl and the cation of an inorganic or organic base; X is oxygen or sulphur; and B, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 are not all hydrogen; or a geometrical or optical isomer thereof; or a tautomer thereof; or a salt thereof; and a carrier therefor.

Use of 2-phenoxypyrimidines as herbicides

The invention concerns novel compounds of the formula I ##STR1## wherein W and X are independently chosen from oxygen and sulfur. The compounds are herbicides and in further embodiments the invention provides: herbicidal compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of formula I; processes for severely damaging or killing unwanted plants by applying to the plants or to the growth medium of the plants an effective amount of a compound of formula I; and processes for the synthesis of compounds of formula I.

Bis[pyrimidyloxy(thio)]benzene derivatives

A compound of general formula I: ##STR1## wherein A, B, D, E, and V are independently chosen from hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano, thiocyano, amino, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, carbalkoxy, phenyl, phenoxy or phenylthio; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkanoyl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together are alkylidene; W is carboxy or a functional derivative thereof or CH.sub.2 Z wherein Z is halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkylthio, formyl or amino; and X and Y are oxygen or sulfur.

S-methyl 3-furfurylidene-2-methyl-dithiocarbazate and its use as a

A method of treating warm blooded animals to eradicate certain internal parasites; which method comprises administering to said warm blooded animals a therapeutic dose of a composition comprising as active ingredient a compound of formula I. ##EQU1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 which may be the same or different are hydrogen, or halogen and at least two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are halogen, and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 which may be the same or different are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, --NHR.sup.6 where R.sup.6 is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and when either R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 is --NHR.sup.6 then R.sup.5 or R.sup.4 respectively is hydrogen.

Halomethanesulfonamides for eradicating internal parasites

A method of treating warm blooded animals to eradicate certain internal parasites; which method comprises administering to said warm blooded animals a therapeutic dose of a composition comprising as active ingredient a compound of formula I ##EQU1## wherein X is halogen, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 which may be the same or different are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, -- NHR.sup.3 where R.sup.3 is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 6 carbons atoms; and when either R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is -- NHR.sup.3 then R.sup.2 or R.sup.1 respectively is hydrogen.
