Some specific examples of compounds within the scope of said formula and preferred in accordance with this invention are 1 '-(ethoxycarbonyl )ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy)-2- nitrobenzoate; 1 '-(ethoxyca rbonyl methyl )ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 2'ethoxycarbonyl 5-(2-chloro-4-tri-fluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 2'-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl 5-(2ch lo ro-4-trifl u oromethyl phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1 '-(ethoxycarbonyl) methyl 5-(2-ch lo ro-4trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1 '-ethoxycarbonyl-2-oxopropyl 5-(2-chloro-4trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1'-(ethoxycarbonyl)-butyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)2-nitrobenzoate; 1 '-(phenoxy-carbonyl)ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1' (ethoxycarbonyl)propyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1 '-ethoxycarbonyl-3'- methyl butyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate, 1 '-(ethoxycarbonyl )ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-bromobenzoate; 1 '-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2'-hydroxypropyl 5-(2-chloro-4 trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1 '-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifl uoromethylphenoxy)2-cyanobenzoate; l'-(ethoxycarbonyl )ethyl 5-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifl uoromethyl phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate; 1' (ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl 5-(2-ch loro-6-bromo-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-cyanobenzoate; and 1' (thioethylcarbonyl)ethyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate.
It is, of course, to be further understood that the stereo and optical isomers of compounds represented by the above formula are within the scope of this invention.
The compounds of this invention are typically synthesized by, for example, reacting an appropriately substituted benzoyl halide with an alcohol (or thiol) or an appropriately substituted a-hydroxycarboxylic ester or by reacting an appropriately substituted benzoic acid with an appropriately substituted a-halocarboxylic ester using techniques known to the art. The substituted benzoyl halides (or acids) and the substituted a-hydroxy (or ct-halo) carboxylic esters may be obtained from commercial sources or prepared by known techniques.More particularily, an at least stoichiometric amount of substituted benzoyl halide is added with stirring to the substituted a-hydroxycarboxylic acid, preferably in the presence of an acid acceptor, such as, for example, triethylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethyl aniline, or the like. Since the reaction is typically exothermic, the substituted benzoyl halide is added incrementally so that the temperature of the reaction mixture does not appreciably exceed about 35"C. When the compounds of this invention are prepared by reacting a substituted benzoic acid with an a-halocarboxylic ester, the latter is preferably added to the former in the presence of an azo compound, such as, for example, 1 ,5-diazobicyclo (5.4.0.) undec-5-ene (DBU).In either method of synthesis, the reaction may, if desired, by conducted in the presence of an inert solvent, such as, for example, benzene, methylene chloride, chloroform, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, or the like. At the completion of addition of the substituted benzoyl halide to the a-hydroxycarboxylic ester (or the completion of addition of the a-halocarboxylic ester to the substituted benzoic acid), the reaction mixture is heated to reflux and maintained at reflux until the reaction attains the desired extent of completion. The reaction mixture is then cooled to ambient temperature and typically washed consecutively with dilute acid, dilute base and water, and allowed to phase separate. Substituted diphenyl ether is recovered from the organic phase by any known technique, such as, for example, evaporation, crystallization, vacuum drying, or the like.If desired, the product, substituted diphenyl ether, may be further purified by, for example, recrystallization.
The compounds of this invention have been found effective in regulating the growth of a variety of undesirable plants, i.e. weeds, when applied, in an herbicidally effective amount, to the growth medium prior to emergence of the weeds or to the weeds subsequent to emergence from the growth medium. The term "herbicidally effective amount" is that amount of compound or mixture of compounds required to so injure or damage weeds such that the weeds are incapable of recovering following application. The quantity of a particular compound or mixture of compounds applied in order to exhibit a satisfactory herbicidal effect may vary over a wide range and depends on a variety of factors such as, for example, hardiness of a particular weed species, extent of weed infestation, climatic conditions, soil conditions, method of aplication, and the like.Typically, as little as 0.2 or less pound per acre to 10 or more pounds per acre of compound or mixtures of compounds may be required. Of course, the efficacy of a particular compound against a particular weed species may readily be determined by relatively straightforward laboratory or field testing in a manner well known to the art.
The compounds of this invention may be used as such or in formulation with agronomically acceptable adjuvants, inert carriers, other herbicides, or other commonly used agricultural compounds, for example, pesticides, stabilizers, safeners, fertilizers, and the like. The compounds of this invention, whether or not in formulation with other agromonically acceptable materials, are typically applied in the form of dusts, granules, wettable powders, solutions, suspensions, aerosols, emulsions, dispersions or the like in a manner well known to the art. When formulated with other typically used agronomically acceptable materials, the amount of compound or compounds of this invention present in the formulation may vary over a wide range, for example, from about 0.05 to about 95 percent by weight on weight of formulation.Typically such formulations will contain from about 5 to about 75 percent by weight of compound or compounds of this invention.
The compounds of this invention have been found effective in controlling a variety of broadleaf and grassy weeds at application rates of two (2) pounds per acre or less pre- or postemergence while not significantly damaging desirable crops such as, for example, corn, wheat, rice, and soybeans. Exemplary of weeds that may be effectively controlled by the application of compounds of this invention are wild mustard (Brassica kaber); yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca); crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis); coffeeweed (Sesbania spp.); velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti); johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense); barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgal li); jimsonweed (Datura stramonium); teaweed (Sida spinosa); tall morningglory (Roth); and the like.
The invention will now be further illustrated by reference to the following Examples in which: Examples I through XII are illustrative of the synthesis of certain specific substituted diphenyl ether compounds ofthis invention, and Example XIII is illustrative of the effectiveness of the compounds of the invention.

Although syntheses of compounds of this invention have been illustrated in some detail by the foregoing Examples I through XII, it is to be understood that any compound contemplated to be within the scope of this invention may be prepared by those skilled in the art simply by varying the choice of starting materials and using the illustrated techniques or any other suitable techniques.
EXAMPLE XIII Certain of the compounds prepared according to Examples I through XII were tested for herbicidal activity against certain weed species under controlled laboratory conditions of light, temperature, and humidity.
Seeds of selected weeds were planted in flats. For preemergence tests, the flats were treated with the selected compound immediately after planting. For postemergence tests, the flats were treated with the selected compound after a two-week's germination period. The compound was applied to the flats by spraying a solvent solution of the compound at the indicated rate of application, the state of growth of the weeds was observed, and the toxic effect of the compound was evaluated periodically after application.
The following shows, in tabular form, the weed species (identified by common name) and the compound applied (indicated by an "X" and identified by reference to the Example in which it was prepared) to the weed species. In each case, the compound was applied pre-emergent at a rate of two (2) pounds per acre.

It has been observed that compounds of this invention wherein the 'A' substituent is other than nitro, for example, halogen and specifically, bromine (as typified by the compound prepared according to Example XII), exhibit somewhat better herbicidal activity when applied postemergent rather than preemergent at rates below about 5 pounds per acre, for example, at 2 or less pounds per acre. The compounds of this invention wherein the 'A' substituent is nitro have been generally found effective either pre- or postemergent at application rates of 2 or less pounds per acre.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to illustrative embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that it is not intended to be so limited since many variations may be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope thereof as defined in the appended claims.
