Abstract
A novel process for producing sulfonylureas of the formula I having a herbicidal action and an action regulating plant growth ##STR1## wherein A is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, naphthyl, furan, thiophene or pyridine group, E is a nitrogen atom or the methine group, R.sub.a is hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -haloalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -haloalkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkylthio or C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 -alkoxyalkoxy, and R.sub.b is the same as R.sub.a or is an unsubstituted or substituted amino group, and salts thereof, which process comprises firstly condensing an imidocarbonic acid ester with a sulfonyl chloride of the formula II to the sulfonylimidocarbonic acid diester of the formula IV ##STR2## wherein R is an alkyl group, and reacting this in an ethereal solvent in the presence of sodium hydride or potassium tertbutylate with a 2-aminopyrimidine or 2-amino-1,3,5-triazine of the formula V, and finally reacting the formed sulfonylisourea of the formula VI in an organic solvent with hydrochloric acid to obtain the sulfonylurea of the formula I, and isolating this as such or as a salt; ##STR3## The sulfonylimidocarbonic …
