Process for the preparation of N-phenyl-N-methoxyacetyl-DL-alanine methyl ester derivatives of the formula (I). ##STR1## wherein R is a C.sub.1-4 alkyl residue; and n is a cardinal number between from 1 to 3, which comprises reacting an N-methoxyacetyl derivative of the formula (II). ##STR2## wherein R and n are as defined above, with a stoichiometric amount of an alkaline metal alkoxide, at a temperature between 80.degree. C. and 150.degree. C., until completion of the removal of the alkanol present in the system, then reacting the thus obtained alkaline metal salt of the compound of formula (II) directly or after isolation with a methyl DL-x-halopropionate.

Herbicidal compositions comprising a substituted thiolcarbamate derivative corresponding to the formula (I) wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are selected independently from alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and/or a chloroacetanilide derivative corresponding to the formula (II) wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen or alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, identical or different, R.sub.6 is an alkoxyalkyl group corresponding to the formula --R.sub.7 --O--R.sub.8 in which R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are selected from alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and, as an antidote, a thiocarbamic acid derivative corresponding to the formula (III) wherein R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 independently from each other are alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 taken together with one or two nitrogen atoms form a heterocyclic group, which may contain one oxygen atom or they form a soiro-heterocyclic or condensated ring, which can be substituted with alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group, R.sub.11 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a benzyl group containing one or 2 substituents, carboxy methylene, 1-methylene naphtyl, acetophenon-(2)-yl-, carb-(.alpha.)naphthoxy-methylene, N-methylene o-benzoic acid sulphimide, N-isopropyl-N-phenylacetamidyl, N,N-disubstituted-2-acetamidyl group containing alkyl, alkylene groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl, phenyl or dialkyl phenyl group.

Antidoted herbicide compositions and antidote compositions

The invention relates to an improvement of a process for preparing N-phosphonomethyl-glycine by oxydation of N-phosphonomethyl-imino-diacetic acid in an aqueous sulphuric acidic medium with hydrogen peroxide. A characteristic feature is using a waste acid liquor as reaction medium formed as aqueous sulphuric acid and obtained after the separation of N-phosphonomethyl-glycine when carrying out oxydation. This solution is optionally diluted with water until a concentration of 12-18 weight % of sulphuric acid and 3-5 weight % of N-phosphonomethyl-glycine.

Process for preparing N-phosphonomethyl-glycine

A process for preparing methoxyacetic acid by reacting monochloroacetic acid with sodium methylate, in a methanolic solvent at increased temperature. Methanol is distilled off and methoxyacetic acid methylester is added to the residue. The stirrable mixture is contacted with dry hydrochloric acid gas. The methoxyacetic acid methylester is distilled off after removing the precipitated sodium chloride, to recover the desired product.

The invention relates to the preparation of N-phosphono-methyl-imino-diacetic acid from the calcium salt of imino-diacetic acid in a simplified synthesis. The process comprises in that the imino-diacetic acid calcium salt is heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid in a molar ratio of 2-3:1 at a temperature between 50.degree.-100.degree. C., the obtained imino-diacetic acid hydrogen-chloride is separated then dissolved in water and is reacted with phosphorous acid in a molar ratio of 1.0-1.2:1 calculated for imino-diacetic acid hydrogen chloride and with the aqueous solution of formaldehyde in a molar ratio of 1.0-1.4:1 under stirring, and the obtained product is isolated.

Herbicidal compositions containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine

The invention relates to an improved method for the preparation of a 2',6'-dialkyl-N-alkoxymethyl-2-chloro-acetanilide compound of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are identical or different and stand for straight-chained or branched C.sub.1-4 alkyl groups. According to the invention a dialkyl aniline of the general formula (II), ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, is treated with aqueous formaldehyde solution in an apolar solvent at a temperature of 30.degree. to 80.degree. C., the solution of the resulting oxymethyl derivative formed with said apolar solvent is separated from the aqueous formaldehyde solution at an elevated temperature and then dehydrated, the resulting azomethine derivative is reacted with chloroacetyl chloride in the same apolar solvent medium, the resulting chloromethyl compound is reacted with an alcohol of the general formula (V),
