The present invention relates to esters of carboxylic acid agrochemicals comprising a labile protecting group and having formula (I). Certain of the esters of carboxylic acid agrochemicals do not undergo hydrolysis to a significant degree in the dark, but are cleaved to regenerate the parent carboxylic acid agrochemical when exposed to light. Others of the esters of carboxylic acid agrochemicals undergo hydrolysis under both light and dark conditions. The present invention further relates to methods for the controlled release of a carboxylic acid agrochemicals, and to methods of controlling unwanted plants comprising applying to the unwanted plants an ester of a carboxylic acid agrochemical.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein Q is selected from O or S; R.sup.1 is a non-aromatic heterocyclic group comprising at least one ring nitrogen atom, wherein R.sup.1 is attached to the sulfur atom of the sulfonylurea group by a ring carbon atom, and wherein R.sup.1 may optionally be substituted; and R.sup.2 is a cyclic group substituted at the α-position, wherein R.sup.2 may optionally be further substituted. The present invention further relates to salts, solvates and prodrugs of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by the inhibition of NLRP3.
