Herbicidal sulphonylaminocarbonyltriazolinones having two substituents bonded via oxygen, of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and aralkyl, R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and aralkyl, and R.sup.3 represents an optionally substituted radical from the series comprising alkyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl, and their salts.
Intermediates for herbicides, the intermediates having the formula ##STR1## in which R is i-propyl, n-butyl, i-buty, s-butyl or cyclopropyl.
This invention relates to novel polycarbonates having hydroxyl end groups and an average molecular weight of 500 to 12,000, as determined by measuring the OH number, and being based on dimer diols containing either 36 or 44 carbon atoms. These novel polycarbonates are particularly suitable for the use in a process for the production of polyurethane plastics which are stable to hydrolysis and oxidation.
Alkoxytriazolinones of the general formula (I), ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another represent in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, (which can be used as intermediates for the preparation of herbicidal active compounds) are obtained in very good yields and in high purity by reacting iminothiocarbonic diester (II) with carbazinic esters (III) ##STR2## in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 in each case represent, for example, alkyl or aryl, at -20.degree. C. to +50.degree. C. (1st step) and subjecting the semicarbazide derivatives (IV) formed in this process with elimination of R.sup.3 -SH ##STR3## to a cyclizing condensation reaction and if appropriate in the presence of a base at 20.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. with elimination of R.sup.4 --OH, if appropriate after intermediate isolation (2nd step).
Alkoxytriazolinones of the formula (I), ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another represent in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, (which can be used as intermediates for the preparation of herbicidal active compounds) are obtained in good yields and in high purity by reacting iminocarbonic diesters (II) with carbazinic esters (III) ##STR2## in which R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 in each case represent, for example, alkyl or aryl, at -20.degree. C. to +120.degree. C. (1st step) and subjecting the semicarbazide derivatives (IV) formed in this process with elimination of R.sup.2 --OH ##STR3## to a cyclizing condensation reaction in the presence of a base at 20.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. with elimination of R.sup.3 --OH, if appropriate (2nd step) and, finally, by reacting the resulting 5-alkoxytriazolinones of the formula (V) with an alkylating agent of the formula R.sup.1 --X (VI) at 0.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., if appropriate in the presence of a base (3rd step: highly selective 4-alkylation).
