DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ‘Compounds of Formula I are prepared by the proce- dure of Equation 1. This procedure is weil known in the art EQUATION 1 , : be os Cr rm) > sono NS = For details, one may refer to EPO Publication No. (0007687 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,719 which are herein, incorporated by reference. 4,547,215 3 ‘Sulfony! isocyanates of Formula a are also known in the art. For example, ULS. Pat. No. 4,305,884 teaches the preparation of these compounds. “Agriculturally suitable salts of compounds of For- mula Tare also useful herbicides and can be prepared ins a number of ways known to the art. For example, metal salts can be made by contacting compounds of Formula with a solution of an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt having a sufficiently basic anion (e.g., hydroxide, alkox- ide, carbonate or hydroxide). Quaternary amine salts can be made by similar techniques. Salts of compounds of Formula I éan also be pre- pared by exchange of one cation for another. Cationic exchange can be effected by direct contact of an aque- ‘ous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e-., alkali or quaternary amine salt) with a solution contain- ing the cation to be exchanged. This method is most effective when the desired salt containing the ex- changed cation is insoluble in water and can be sepa rated by filtration, Exchange may also be effected by passing an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., an alkai metal or quaternary amine salt) through a column packed with a cation exchange resin containing the ‘ation to be exchanged for that of the original salt and the desired product is eluted from the column. This method is particularly useful when the desired salt is water-soluble. ‘Acid addition salts, useful in this invention, can be ‘obtained by reacting a compound of Formula I with a 55 suitable acid, e.g, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroace- tic acid or the like. ‘The compounds of this invention and their prepara tion are further illustrated by the following examples ‘wherein temperatures are given in degrees centigrade 0 2s and parts are by weight unless otherwise designated. °° EXAMPLE 1 2-Amino-4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidine 164 g 2-amino-4,6dichloropyrimidine (purchased 40 from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WI 53201) was ‘added to 200 ml of CH3OH. The mixture was cooled to 10* with an ice bath and 5.4 g of NaOCHs was added in portions while maintaining the temperature. The reac- tion mixture was allowed to warm to ambient tempera- 35 ture and then heated to reflux for two hours. The teac- tion mixture was then allowed to cool to ambient tem- perature and it was stirred overnight. A yellow solid as filtered and recrystallized from butyl chloride. The resulting solid was chromatographed on a dry column of silica, and eluted with 40% EtOAchexane. The re- id was further purified by recrystal zation from butyl chloride. 9.4 g of product with m.p. 163°-166" was obtained. EXAMPLE 2 2-{{(4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidin-2-y)aminocarbonyl- Taminosulfonylibenzoic acid ethyl ester To 10 g of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methoxypytimidine suspended in 25 ml of dry CHCl, was added 1.53 g of 60 ethyl 2-(isocyanatosulfonylbenzoate (prepared by pro- ‘cedures taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,305,884). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for three days. The solvent was stripped and the product was recrystallized from butyl chloride to give a white solid 65 with m.p. 198°-201", Using procedures analogous to Example 2, 2-[(4 chloro-6-methoxyprimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyi- 0 3s isopropyl ester may be The compounds of this invention may be used in combination with other commercial herbicides.

FORMULATIONS Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I ‘can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emul- wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Spraya- ble formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formula tion. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% 10 ‘99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (@) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% 10, 99.9% solid or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they ‘will contain these ingredients in the following approxi- ‘mate proportions: TABLE I ‘Acive Weight Percent” Angrediot “Diventis) _ Suracas) ‘Wenabie Powder 20-90 «0-74 10 Oi Seapemions, 550 40.38 os Emolsons Solutions, (including Emulsatle (Concentra) ‘Aaeeous Suspension oo oe 1.20 Bese Tas 7039 os Grannies and Peles = 01-95‘ 9 OI High Strength wos O10 on ‘Comporiton pete nti Ps nt cnr fs Savion ars Bison eas 100 we Lower or higher levels of active ingredients can, of ccoruse, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios Of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desir- able, and are achieved by incorporation into the formu- lation or by tank mixing. ‘Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, etal. “Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers”, ‘2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Sol- vents Guide,” 2nd Ed, Interscience, New York, 1950. 4,547,215 Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension con- Centrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0° C. “"McCutcheon’s Deter- gents and Emulsfiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp. Ridgewood, NJ., as well as Sisely and Wood, “Ency: 5 cclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publish- ing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and rec- ‘ommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corro- sion, microbiological growth, etc. ‘The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blend- ing and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy ‘mill, Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material ‘upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration s technique. See J. E.
