In the search for better herbicides a series of 1-alkyl-3-(α-hydroxy-(un)substituted benzylidene)pyrrolidine-2,4-diones were prepared and their structure-activity relationships studied. All their structures have been confirmed by 1H-NMR andelemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that some of them have highherbicidal activity against annual dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants.

In the title molecule, C19H15F3N2O, the benzene rings of the tolyl and trifluoromethylphenyl groups form dihedral angles of 64.1 (2) and 38.5 (2)°, respectively, with the pyridazine ring. The CF3 group is disordered over two orientations, with site-occupancy factors of ca 0.56 and 0.44.

The title compound, C15H13F3N2O, contains one benzene ring, one cyclohexane ring and a pyridazine ring. The dihedral angle formed by the pyridazine ring with the benzene ring is 61.5 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N—H...O and C—H...F). The cyclohexane ring adopts a screw-boat conformation. The CF3 group is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.6 and 0.4.

The title compound, C24H27N3O4, also known as fenpyroximate, is a commercial acaricide. The benzene ring of the phenoxy group is approximately perpendicular to the pyrazole ring with a dihedral angle of 84.37 (11)°. The dihedral angle between the phenoxy and the benzoate benzene rings is 48.83 (8)°.
