| abstract |
The invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) and the salts thereof, in which formula A is a (hetero)aromatic or heterocyclic bridge which is connected to the group SO2 via a direct bond or O, S, NH, CH2, or via alkylated NH or alkylated methylene; B is a group with an imino-containing fragment from N = C-N, N = C-S, N = C-O or N = C-C which is bound to A by one of the N-atoms of the fragment; R is H or an aliphatic radical; W is O or S; and X, Y and Z have the definitions given in claim 1. Said compounds are suitable to act as herbicides and plant growth regulators. Preparation, for example in a manner similar to known processes, occurs by way of new intermediate products of the formula (XII) (cf. claims 6 and 10). |
