Phenyl sulfonamides

Abstract

Abstract N-Phenylsulfonyl-N'-pyrimidinyl- and -triazinylureas of the general formula ##STR1## and the salts thereof with amines, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bases or with quaternary ammonium bases, have good pre- and postemergence selective herbicidal and growth regulating properties. In the above formula A is a C 1 -C 6 alkyl radical which is substituted by C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 alkylthio, C 1 -C 4 alkylsulfinyl, C 1 -C 4 -alkylsulfonyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy, C 1 -C 4 haloalkylthio, C 1 -C 4 haloalkylsulfinyl or C 1 -C 4 haloalkylsulfonyl, or a C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl radical which is unsubstituted or substituted by the above substituents, or is a C 2 -C 6 haloalkenyl radical, E is the methine group or nitrogen, X is oxygen, sulfur, a sulfinyl or sulfonyl bridge, Z is oxygen or sulfur, m is 1 or 2, R 1 is hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl or a radical --Y--R 5 , R 2 is hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl, C 1 -C 4 -haloalkyl, or a radical --Y--R 5 , --COOR 6 , --NO 2 or --CO--NR 7 --R 8 , R 3 and R 4 , each independently of the other, are hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 alkylthio, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, halogen or alkoxyalkyl of at most 4 carbon atoms, R 5 and R 6 , each independently of the other, are C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl or C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, R 7 and R 8 , each independently of the other, are hydrogen, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl or C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, and Y is oxygen, sulfur, a sulfinyl or sulfonyl bridge.
