Abstract: Substituted 4-benzoylpyrazole of the formula I where: Q is a pyrazole of the formula II X1 is a straight-chain or branched C1-C6-alkylene, a C2-C6-alkenylene or a C2-C6-alkynylene chain which is interrupted by a hetero atom selected from the group consisting of: oxygen and sulfur, Het is a three- to six-membered partially or fully saturated heterocyclic group or a three- to six-membered heteroaromatic group having up to three hetero atoms selected from the following three groups: nitrogen, oxygen in combination with at least one nitrogen or sulfur in combination with at least one nitrogen; and agriculturally useful salts thereof, processes and intermediates for preparing compounds of the formula I, compositions comprising them and the use of the compounds of the formula I and of compositions comprising them for controlling harmful plants are described.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) in which A is ═N— or (a); W is a group (W1), (W2) or (W3); R11 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or methyl; and R1 to R5, R13,n1 and n13 are as defined in claim 1, and the pyrazole N-oxydes, agrochemically tolerated salts and stereoisomers of these compounds of formula (I), have good pre- and post-emergent selective herbicidal properties. The preparation of these compounds and their use as herbidical active substances are described.
