The present invention relates to herbicidal heteroarylmethoxy/heterocyclylmethoxy substituted phenyl diketones and heteroarylmethoxy/heterocyclylmethoxy substituted phenyl-dioxyls of formula (I) Pro-buprofezin derivatives, and to processes and intermediates for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as the use of such compounds and compositions for controlling undesired vegetative growth in crops of useful plants, especially in the control of weeds such as broad-leaved dicotyledonous weeds uses in grass. |
