Abstract

The present invention relates to solid forms of herbicide safeners, to processes for their preparation, compositions comprising the solid forms and methods of their use as safeners.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I:

wherein the polymorph is characterised by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern expressed in terms of 2θ angles, wherein the powder X-ray diffraction pattern comprises
(a) one 2θ angle value at 16.9±0.2; and
(b) one 2θ angle value at 18.9±0.2; and
(c) at least three 2θ angle values selected from the group comprising 7.5±0.2, 12.3±0.2, 13.4±0.2, 14.4±0.2, 14.9±0.2, 15.8±0.2, 18.3±0.2, 20.9±0.2, 21.9±0.2, 22.6±0.2 and 23.8±0.2.

2. The crystalline polymorph of claim 1 which has the following lattice parameters: a=7.96(5), b=23.56(5), c=9.11(5), α=90.00, β=92.58(5), γ=90.00 and volume=1708.2(5) Å 3 .

3. The crystalline polymorph of claim 1 which has a melting point of 202° C.±5° C.

4. An agricultural composition comprising a polymorph chosen from at least one of
a crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I which has the following lattice parameters: a=7.96(5), b=23.56(5), c=9.11(5), α=90.00, β=92.58(5), γ=90.00 and volume=1708.2(5) Å 3 ; and
a crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I wherein the polymorph is characterised by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern expressed in terms of 2θ angles, wherein the powder X-ray diffraction pattern comprises
(a) one 2θ angle value at 16.9±0.2; and
(b) one 2θ angle value at 18.9±0.2; and
(c) at least three 2θ angle values selected from the group comprising 7.5±0.2, 12.3±0.2, 13.4±0.2, 14.4±0.2, 14.9±0.2, 15.8±0.2, 18.3±0.2, 20.9±0.2, 21.9±0.2, 22.6±0.2 and 23.8±0.2; and
at least one agriculturally acceptable carrier or diluent.

5. The composition of claim 4 , which further comprises at least one herbicide.

6. A method for protecting crops of useful plants from the harmful effects of a herbicide, which comprises applying to the locus of the useful plants a composition of claim 4 .

7. A method for combating weeds in crops of useful plants, which comprises treating the useful plants, seeds or cuttings thereof or the locus of the useful plants simultaneously or at separate times with a herbicide and a polymorph chosen from at least one of
a crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I

which has the following lattice parameters: a=7.96(5), b=23.56(5), c=9.11(5), α=90.00, β=92.58(5), γ=90.00 and volume=1708.2(5) Å 3 ; and
a crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I

wherein the polymorph is characterised by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern expressed in terms of 2θ angles, wherein the powder X-ray diffraction pattern comprises
(a) one 2θ angle value at 16.9±0.2; and
(b) one 2θ angle value at 18.9±0.2; and
(c) at least three 2θ angle values selected from the group comprising 7.5±0.2, 12.3±0.2, 13.4±0.2, 14.4±0.2, 14.9±0.2, 15.8±0.2, 18.3±0.2, 20.9±0.2, 21.9±0.2, 22.6±0.2 and 23.8±0.2.
