A benzene derivative substituted with a heterocyclic ring represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, X represents a halogen atom, and Z represents ##STR2## in which said cycloalkyl group may be substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a process for preparing the same, and a herbicidal agent comprising the above compound as an active ingredient are disclosed. The compound has an excellent effect in that the compound exhibits a markedly high herbicidal effect on weeds in the field and the paddy field at a low dose and yet exhibits markedly low noxious effects on main crops.

Benzene derivatives substituted with heterocyclic ring, and herbicides

A benzoxazinone compound represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cyanoalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group or an aralkyl group; a process for preparing the same; and a herbicidal composition comprising the benzoxazinone compound as an active component are disclosed. The above benzoxazinone compounds exhibit a high selectivity for useful crop plants and a strong herbicidal activity with respect to various noxious weeds.

Benzoxazinone compounds and herbicidal composition containing the same

An oxazolidinedione compound represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkynyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms or an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety thereof, R.sup.2 represents an alkyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, and X represents a chlorine atom or a fluorine atom; a process for preparing the same; and a herbicidal composition comprising the oxazolidinedione compound as an active component are disclosed. The above oxazolidinedione compounds exhibit a high selectivity for useful crop plants and a strong herbicidal activity with respect to various noxious weeds.

Oxazolidinedione compounds, the process for preparing the same and

A herbicidal composition comprising at least one oxazolidinedione derivative expressed by the following formula: ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently denote hydrogen atoms, halogen atoms, nitro groups, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, alkenyloxy groups, alkynyloxy groups or cycloalkyloxy groups; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently denote hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups or aryl groups or may be combined with each other to form a polymethylene chain; and said alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, alkenyloxy groups, alkynyloxy groups, cycloalkyloxy groups and aryl groups may be substituted); and at least one organic phosphorus herbicide, as active ingredients.

Herbicidal composition and herbicidal method

Disclosed are novel oxazolidinedione derivatives expressed by the following formula: ##STR1## (R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 being defined in the specification), a method of producing the derivatives and herbicides containing the derivatives as an active ingredient. Carbonate esters which are intermediates in the method of producing the oxazolidinedione derivatives are also disclosed.
