  • Publication number: 20070249832
    Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of Formula I, their N-oxides and agriculturally suitable salts wherein J is a phenyl ring, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring or an aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused carbobicyclic or heterobicyclic ring system wherein each ring or ring system is substituted with from one to four substituents independently selected from R5; K is —NR1C(=A)-, —N?C(GR6)— or —NR1SO2—; L is —C(?B)NR2, —C(GR6)?N—, —SO2NR2—, —C(?B)O— or —C(?B)—; and A, B, G, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and n are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are methods for controlling invertebrate pests comprising contacting the pests or their environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I and compositions containing the compounds of Formula I. Intermediate compounds useful in preparing the compounds of Formula I are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070197391
    Abstract: Compounds of Formula I, and their N-oxides and agriculturally suitable salts, are disclosed which are useful for controlling undesired vegetation wherein R1 is cyclopropyl optionally substituted with 1-5 R5, isopropyl optionally substituted with 1-5 R6, or phenyl optionally substituted with 1-3 R7; R2 is ((O)jC(R15)(R16))kR; R is CO2H or a herbicidally effective derivative of CO2H; R3 is halogen, cyano, nitro, OR20, SR21 or N(R22)R23; R4 is —N(R24)R25 or —NO2; j is 0 or 1; and k is 0 or 1; provided that when k is 0, then j is 0; and R5, R6, R7, R15, R16, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24 and R25 are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are compositions comprising the compounds of Formula I and a method for controlling undesired vegetation which involves contacting the vegetation or its environment with an effective amount of a compound of Formula I.

  • Publication number: 20060205748
    Abstract: This invention provides compounds of Formula (I), N-oxides and suitable salts thereof, wherein A and B are independently O or S; each J is independently a phenyl ring, a naphthyl ring system, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring or an aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused heterobicyclic ring system wherein each ring or ring system is optionally substituted with 1 to 4 R5; K is, together with the two contiguous linking carbon atoms, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring optionally substituted with 1 to 3 R4; and R1 R2, R3, R4, R5 and n are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are methods for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), an N-oxide thereof or a suitable salt of the compound (e.g., as a composition described herein).
