New fluoroalkyl-substituted 1,3,5-triazine derivatives were synthesized and screened for herbicidal activity using a greenhouse pot test. Surprisingly, a series of 2-alkyl-4-fluoroalkyl-6-aralkylamino-1,3,5-triazines e.g. 6-(4-bromo-benzylamino)-2-methyl-4- trifluoromethyl-1,3,5-triazine was found to possess strong pre- and post-emergence herbicidal activities, although the conventional herbicidal 1,3,5-triazines generally should have a 2-substituted-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine structure for herbicidal activity. Our compounds show strong Photosynthetic Electron Transport inhibitory activity (PI(50) c7). Although their herbicidal effect is considered to be caused by a process similar to that for the conventional 1,3,5-triazine herbicide atrazine, they can control atrazine-resistant Chenopodium album effectively, and will thus form promising trial compounds for new triazine herbicide design.
