摘要:
The invention relates to 4-imino-oxazolidine-2-one derivatives represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## and a process for producing said compounds by reacting aryl isocyanates of the general formula (2): ##STR2## with methacrolein cyanohydrin in the presence of a base, as well as a herbicide containing said compounds as an active ingredient; it also relates to a process for producing oxazolidinedione derivatives useful as herbicides by hydrolyzing said compounds.
摘要:
The present invention provides an industrial process for efficiently preparing a 3-(substituted phenyl)-5-isopropylidene-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione derivative having a potent herbicidal activity without using phosgene or the like. The present invention relates to a process for preparing a 3-(substituted phenyl)-5-alkylidene-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione derivative represented by general formula (III), which comprises reaction of an N-(substituted phenyl)carbamate represented by general formula (I) with a 2-hydroxy-3-alkenoate represented by-general formula (II) or with a 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxyalkanoate represented by general formula (IV): ##STR1## (wherein Ar is a substituted phenyl group, R.sup.1 is an alkyl group having a carbon number of from 1 to 6, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having carbon numbers of from 1 to 12, and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are independently alkyl groups having carbon numbers of from 1 to 6).
