The present invention is directed to novel substituted aniline compounds, the optically active isomers of said compounds, compositions containing said compounds, and the use of these compounds in the selective kill and control of grassy weeds in the presence of valuable crop plants, especially corn plants.

Haloalkoxy anilide derivatives of 2-4(-heterocyclic oxyphenoxy)alkanoic

Derivatives of 4-((aryloxy)phenoxy)alkenols, their preparation and use as active herbicides for the postemergent control of grassy weeds and especially the control of said weeds in the presence of corn plants are disclosed.

Derivatives of 4-((aryloxy)phenoxy)alkenols and their herbicidal uses

Disclosed herein are derivatives of 4-((aryloxy)phenoxy)fluoroalkanoic acid and their use as active herbicides for the pre- and postemergent control of grassy weeds, especially in the presence of broadleaf crops.

4-((aryloxy)phenoxy)fluoroalkanoic acid derivatives and their herbicidal

4-((Aryloxy)phenoxy)alkenols, their preparation and use as active herbicides for the postemergent control of grassy weeds. The compounds also are useful as intermediates for the preparation of herbicidal derivatives, which compounds are especially useful for the control of grassy weeds in the presence of corn plants.

4-((aryloxy)phenoxy)alkenol as intermediates and herbicides

The present invention is directed to the use of paratrifluoromethyl substituted aniline compounds, the optically active isomers of said compounds and compositions containing said compounds, in the selective kill and control of grassy weeds in the presence of corn plants.

Fluoroalkyl anilide derivatives of 2-(4-aryloxyphenoxy)alkanoic or

Compounds of the class comprising (quinolinyl and quinoxalinyloxy)phenoxy) alkenols, e.g., 4-(4-((6-chloro-2-quinolinyl)oxy)phenoxy)-2-penten-1-ol; and a method of preparation, comprising reacting an appropriately substituted quinoline or quinoxaline, e.g., 2,6-dichloroquinoline, with a phenolic substituted pentenol, e.g., 4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-penten-1-ol, in the presence of a base and organic solvent under an inert atmosphere with or without heat, and then recovering the product. These compounds are useful as intermediates for preparing various known herbicidal compounds and are useful in their own right as post-emergent herbicides for controlling grassy weeds in the presence of corn plants.

(Quinolinyl and quinoxalinyloxy)phenoxy alkenols and their use as post

Novel 2-naphthyridinyloxy(or thio)phenoxy propanoic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein ##STR2## represents a 6 membered nitrogen containing an aromatic ring which forms a 1,5-, 1,6-, 1,7- or 1,8-naphthyridinyl moiety with the adjoining pyridine ring, said naphthyridinyl moiety optionally substituted at the 6 position of the naphthyridinyl moiety with a chloro, bromo, iodo, CF.sub.3, or fluoro atom;

Certain naphthyridine diether compounds and their herbicidal use

Novel 2-naphthyridinyloxy(or thio)phenoxy propanoic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## represents a 6 membered nitrogen containing an aromatic ring which forms a 1,5-, 1,6-, 1,7- or 1,8-naphthyridinyl moiety with the adjoining pyridine ring, said naphthyridinyl moiety optionally substituted at the 6 position of the naphthyridinyl moiety with a chloro, bromo, iodo, CF.sub.3, or fluoro atom;
