When X 1 and X2 are different, X1 will advantageously be fluorine or chlorine, preferably fluorine, and X will frequently be selected from among chlorine, bromine, haloalkyl such as
difluoromethyl, and alkyl such as methyl. X2 is preferably chlorine.
The R1 substituent is preferably a haloalkyl radical of 1 to 3 carbon atoms and having one or more independently selected halogen atoms, preferably selected from fluorine and chlorine; more preferably, a fluoroalkyl radical such as 3-fluoropropyl or, especially, difluoromethyl. Other R1 substituents of particular interest include alkyl of 1 to 5 (preferably 1 to 3) carbon atoms such as n-propyl, cyanoalkyl of 1 to 3 alkyl carbon atoms such as cyanomethyl, alkenyl of 2 to 5 (preferably 3 to 5) carbon atoms especially 2-propenyl, alkynyl of 2 to 5 (preferably 3 to 5) carbon atoms such as 2-ρropynyl, or a group -(CH2)2-Y-R3 in which Y is oxygen or sulfur and R3 is alkyl of 1 to

The present compounds may generally be prepared by reaction of an appropriately substituted 5-hydroxyphenyltriazolinone (01a) or the thione analog (01b) with R-X, wherein X is a good leaving group, in the presence of a base as illustrated in the following equation.
Satisfactory results have been obtained with sodium hydride base in dimethylformamide for reactions in which the leaving group X is 4-methylphenylsulfonyloxy, bromine, or chlorine.
The present compounds containing a sulfinyl or a sulfonyl group in R, R1, or R2 may be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding thio compound, generally with hydrogen peroxide, as described in detail in Examples 25, 26, 27, and 34 below for certain R groups. The aryltriazolin-5-thiones (W is sulfur) may be prepared by methods within the skill of the art, for example, by treating an appropriately substituted aryltriazolin-5-one with phosphorous pentasulfide in
toluene under reflux conditions. The C=0 to C-S conversion step may be conducted prior to subsequent to the addition of the R1 substituent to the heterocyclic ring. The intermediates R-X and 01a are either known in the art and, therefore, are available by known methods, or may be prepared by methods analogous or similar to known methods or by methods within the skill of the art.
For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,318,731 and British Patent No. 2,090,250 disclose preparation of a number of the present hydroxyphenyl intermediates 01a wherein X and X2 are chlorine atoms by dealkylation of the corresponding alkyloxyphenyl or alkenyloxyphenyl compound. Many of the hydroxyphenyl intermediates 01a for the present exemplary compounds were prepared by dealkylation of the corresponding isopropoxy or methoxy compound in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, a mixture of hydrobromic and acetic acids, or boron tribromide. Further methods for preparing intermediate compounds are illustrated in the following chemical equations in which steps A and B are analogous to the method of U.S. Patent 3,290,327, issued December 6, 1966.
(A) R2COCl + H2NCO2C2H5 →R2C0NHC02C2H5
01b
Phenylhydrazines (03) useful in step B above may be prepared by the method shown in the following chemical equations in which step F itself represents a
5-step conversion and is analogous to the method of
E. Nagano et al., European Patent Application 69,855.

Alternatively, where X1 and X2 are halogen such as chlorine, such substituents may be added to the molecule later in the reaction sequence, 3-methoxyphenylhydrazine being used in step B. For example compound 06 in which X 1=X2=H may be treated with sulfuryl chloride to give the corresponding compound in which X1=X2=Cl. An alternative method for producing the aryltriazolinone 04 from the phenylhydrazine 03 is shown in the following chemical equations.

HERBICIDAL ACTIVITY The test species used in demonstrating the herbicidal activity of compounds of this invention include cotton (Gossypium hirsutum var. Stoneville), soybean (Glycine max var. Williams), field corn (Zea mays var. Agway 595S), rice (Oryza sativa var. Labelle), wheat (Triticum aestivium var. Prodax), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), morningglory (Ipomea lacunosa or Ipomea hederacea), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), barnyard- grass (Echinochloa crus galli), green foxtail (Setaria viridis), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), and yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus). Procedure:
Two disposable fiber flats (8 cm x 15 cm x 25 cm) for each rate of application for each candidate herbicide for preemergence testing were filled to an approximate depth of 6.5 cm with steam sterilized sandy loam soil. The soil was leveled and impressed with a template to provide six evenly spaced furrows 13 cm long and 0.5 cm deep in each flat. Seeds or tubers of cotton, soybean, corn, rice, wheat, and yellow nutsedge were planted in the furrows of the first flat, and seeds of bindweed, morningglory, velvetleaf, barnyardgrass, green foxtail, and johnsongrass were planted in the furrows of the second flat. The six-row template was again employed to firmly press the seeds or tubers into place. A topping soil of equal portions of sand and sandy loam soil was placed uniformly on top of each flat to a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. Flats for postemergence testing were prepared in the same manner.
The flats for the preemergence test were first watered, then drenched with a solution of test compound as described below. The flats were placed in a green
house and watered regularly at the soil surface for 21 days at which time phytotoxicity data were recorded. The flats for the postemergence test were placed in a greenhouse and watered for 8-10 days, then the foliage of the emerged test plants was sprayed with a solution of the test compound. After spraying, the foliage was kept dry for 24 hours, then watered regularly for 21 days, and phytotoxicity data recorded.
In both preemergence and postemergence tests, the candidate herbicides were applied as aqueous-acetone solutions at rates equivalent to 8.0 kilograms/hectare (kg/ha) and submultiples thereof, i.e., 4.0 kg/ha, 2.0 kg/ha, and so on. Preemergence applications were made as soil drenches using 100 mL of test solution of appropriate concentration for each of the two flats/compound. Postemergence applications were made as foliage sprays using 5 mL of test solution for each of the two flats. For flats of the size described above, an application rate of 8.0 kg/ha of test compound is equivalent to 0.025 g/flat. A stock solution of 0.2 g of test compound in 40 mL of acetone containing 0.5% v/v of sorbitan monolaurate emulsifier/solubilizer was prepared. For the 8.0 kg/ha preemergence test, 10 mL of the stock solution was diluted with water to give 200 mL of test solution for application as a soil drench to both flats for the compound, 100 mL/flat. For the 8.0 kg/ha postemergence test, 10 mL of the stock solution was used undiluted as a spray, 5 mL/flat. The remaining 20 mL of stock solution was diluted with an equal volume of acetone-emulsifier to give 40 mL of a second stock solution, containing 0.1 g of test compound, and the process above repeated, i.e., 20 mL of the solution being used for the 4.0 kg/ha application rate, and 20 mL for the preparation of lower rate test solutions by the same process. Herbicidal data at selected application rates are given for various compounds of the invention in the
tables below. The test compounds are identified in the tables below by numbers which correspond to those in Table 1 above.
tt is clear that the generic class of aryltriazolinones and sulfur analogs thereof described an illustrated herein is characterized by herbicidal activity, and that the degree of this activity varies among specific compounds within this class and to some extent among the species of plant to which these compounds may be applied. Thus, selection of a specific herbicidal compound for control of a specific plant may readily be made. For herbicidal applications, the active compounds as above defined are formulated into herbicidal compositions, by admixture, in herblcidally effective amounts, with the adjuvants and carriers normally employed for facilitating the dispersion of active ingredients for the particular utility desired, recognizing the fact that the formulation and mode of application of a toxicant may affect the activity of the material in a given application. Thus, these active herbicidal compounds may be formulated as granules of relatively large particle size, as water-soluble or water-dispersible granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions or as any of several other known types of formulations, depending on the desired mode of application. For preemergence application these herbicidal compositions are usually applied either as sprays, dusts, or granules in the area in which suppression of vegetation is desired. For postemergence control of established plant growth, sprays or dusts are most commonly used. These formulations may contain as little as 0.5% to as much as 95% or more by weight of active ingredient.
Dusts are free flowing admixtures of the active ingredient with finely divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, flours such as walnut shell and cottonseed flours, and other organic and inorganic
solids which act as dispersants and carriers for the toxicant; these finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A typical dust formulation, useful herein, is one containing 1.0 part of the herbicidal compound and 99.0 parts of talc. Wettable powders, also useful formulations for both pre- and postemergence herbicides, are in the form of finely divided particles which disperse readily in water or other dispersant. The wettable powder is ultimately applied to the soil either as a dry dust or as an emulsion in water or other liquid. Typical carriers for wettable powders include Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic diluents. Wettable powders normally are prepared to contain about 5-80% of active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion. For example, a useful wettable powder formulation contains 80.8 parts of the herbicidal compound, 17.9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulfonate and 0.3 part of sulfonated aliphatic polyester as wetting agents. Frequently, additional wetting agent and/or oil will be added to the tank mix for postemergence application to facilitate dispersion on the foliage and absorption by the plant.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applications are emulsifiable concentrates, which are homogeneous liquid or paste compositions which are dispersible in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the herbicidal compound and a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier, such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isophorone, and other non-volatile organic solvents. For herbicidal application these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carrier, and normally applied .as a spray to
the area to be treated. The percentage by weight of the essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the herbicidal composition.
Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents used in agricultural formulations include, for example, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts; polyhydric alcohols; and other types of surface active agents, many of which are available in commerce. The surface active agent, when used, normally comprises from 1% to 15% by weight of the herbicidal composition.
Other useful formulations for herbicidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a dispersant in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentration, such as acetone , alkylated naphthalenes, xylene or other organic solvents. Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relatively coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a. low boiling dispersant solvent carrier, such as the Freons, may also be used. Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are also useful formulations for herbicidal application of the present compounds. Such granular formulations are free-flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible. The soluble or dispersible granular formulations described in U.S. patent No. 3,920,442 are useful herein with the present herbicidal compounds. The active herbicidal compounds of this inventiqn may be formulated and/or applied with insecticides, fungicides, nematocides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals and may
be used as effective soil sterilants as well as herbicidally. In applying an active compound of this invention, whether formulated alone or with other agricultural chemicals, an effective amount and concentration of the compound is of course employed.
