A series of synthesized N-(2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-alkyloxyphenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2-arylthio-5-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrole derivatives as substrates were found to selectivity significantly with both rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and weeds, barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and bulrush (Scriptus juncoides) for those herbicidal activities at a rate of 0.1 kg/ha with post emergence under submerged conditions. The structure activity relationships (SARs) on herbicidal activity of $SR_{2}$=2-arylthio substituents on the pyrrole ring were analysized. From the results, the relative contribute orders of the $SR_{2}$ with phenyl group on the activity are meta > para > ortho-substituents. Among these compounds, the $R_{1}=propargyl$ (IA) subsrituents, $1{\sim}12$ showed higher activity than the $R_{1}$=2-chloro-2-propenyl (IB) substituents, $13{\sim}16$. The $SR_{2}$ groups of IA substituents shown that the optimal steric constant, $(Es)_{opt.}=3.25$ and m-phenylthio substituents were found to be -contribute the activity against barnyard grass. But the herbicidal activity of IB substituents against bulrush would depend upon the molar refractivity, $M_{R}$ constant of $SR_{2}$ group.
