Preparation of Bensulfuron methyl: The o-methyl formate benzyl sulfonyl isocyanate in xylene solution and 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy pyrimidine reacts for 8 ~ 10h under stirring at room temperature. Steaming out of xylene, washing with chlorobutane and drying, then we can get the product.

Uses of Bensulfuron methyl: It is used as paddy field herbicide. It is also used as intermediate to produce other herbicides, such as bensulfuron, nicosulfuron, cyclosulfamuron, ethoxysulfuron, rimsulfuron, amidosulfuron, flazasulfuron, halosulfuron-methyl, azimsulfuron, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl(NC-311). In addition, this chemical can react with 4-amino-butyric acid and formaldehyde to get 2-[5-(3-carboxy-propyl)-3-(4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-oxo-[1,3,5]triazinane-1-sulfonylmethyl]-benzoic acid methyl ester. This reaction which has two steps needs reagent N-methylmorpholine and solvent H₂O, dioxane and toluene. The reaction time is 30 min. The yield is 58.4%.
