An herbicide as used herein, means a compound which controls or modifies the growth of plan-ts. By the term "herbi-cidally effective amount" is meant an amoun-t of compound which causes a modifying effect upon the growth of plants. By "plants" is meant germinant seeds, emerging seedling, and established vegetation, including the roots and above-ground portions. Such modifying effects include all deviations from natural development, for example, killing, retardation, de-foliation, desiccation, regulation, stunting, -tillering, stimulation, leaf burn, dwarfing, and the like.
In general, the compounds of the present invention are prepared by reacting a phenoxy aniline having the formula Cl~ O--~HR 2 with an acyl chloride, alkyl chloroformate (when Rl is lower alkoxy~ or alkyl chlorothiolformate (when Rl is thio-lower alkyl) having the formula Rl-~-Cl to produce the desired com-pound. X, Rl, R2 and n are as defined above. The reaction is conducted in the presence of a hydrogen chloride acceptor such as a trialkyl amine or pyridine, or in the presence of sodium hydride, thus also producing, respectively, an amine hydro-chloride or sodium chloride plus hydrogen.

Herbicidal Screening Tests The representative compol~ds in the foregoing Table I were tested as herbicides in the following manner:
A. Pre-emergence ~Ierbicide Scrleening Test: Usiny an analytical balance, 20 mg o~ the compound to be tested is weighed out on a piece of glassine weighing paper. The paper and compound are placed in a 30 ml wide-mouth bottle and 3 ml of acetone containing 1~ Tween 20 ~ is added to dissolve the compound. If the material is not soluble in acetone, another solvent such as water, alcohol or dimethylformamide (DMF) is used instead. When DMF is used, only 0.5 ml or less is used to dissolve the compound and then another solvent is used to make the volume up to ml. The 3 ml of solution is sprayed uniformly on the soil contained in a small Styrofoam flat one day after planting weed seeds in the flat or soil. A No. 152 DeVilbiss atomizer is used to apply the spray using compressed air at a pressure of 5 lb/sq. inch.
On the day preceding treatment, the Styrofoam flat, which is 7 inches long, 5 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep ~ 20 is filled to a depth of 2 inches with loamy sand 50il. Seeds ; of seven different weed species are planted in individual ; rows using one specie per row across the width of the flat.
The seeds are covered with soil so that they are plan~ed at a depth of 0.5 inch. The seeds used are hairy crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca), .. ~ , watergrass (Echinochloa crus~alli), red oat (Avena Sativa) redroot pigweed (~maranthus retroflexus)) Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), and curly dock (Rumex crispus). Ample seeds are planted to give about 20 to 50 seedlings per row af~er emergence, depending on -the size of the plants.
;'~
,` , ~'. "

A~ter treatment, the flats are placed in the green-house at a temperature of 70 -to 85F and watered by sprinkling.
Two weeks after treatmen-t, the degree of injury or control is determined by comparison with untreated check plants of the same age. The injury rating from 0 to 100% is recorded for each species as percent control with 0% representing no in-jury and 100% representing complete kill.
B. Post-emergence Herbicide Screening Test: Seeds o~ six plant species, including hairy crabgrass, watergrass, red oat, mustard, curly dock and pinto beans (Phaseolus vul-garis) are planted in the Styrofoam flats as described above for pre-emergence screening. The flats are placed in the greenhouse at 70 to 85F and watered daily with a sprinkler.
About 10 to 14 days after planting when the primary leaves of the bean plants are almost ~ully expanded and the first trifoliate leaves are just starting to form, the plants are . spraved. The spray is prepared by weighing out 20 mg of the : test compound, dissolving it in 5 ml of acetone containing 1% Tween 20 ~ and then addin~ 5 ml of water. The solution ; 20 is sprayed on the foliage using a No. 152 DeVilbiss atomizer at an air pressure of 5 lb/sq inch.
The results of these tests are shown in Table II.
~; Compounds 1-4 and 48 were tested at 20 lbs/acre; the remaining .~ compounds were tested at 8 lbs~acre. The values given ~or compounds 1-4 and 48 relate ko percent control for seven plant species tested pre-emergence and six p]ant species tested post-emergence; with respect to pre-emergence, a value of 21 indicates 70 to 100% control; with respect to post-emergence, a value of 18 indicates 70 to 100% controlO The values given . 30 :
:` -11-,' , L~

for ~pounds 5-A7 indicate an average of control for seven plant species in pre-emergence tests and six plant species in post-emergence tests, with respect to 100% control.
C. Post-flood - Post-emergence Application to Paddy Rice: Plastic tubs, 10 x 7.5 x 5.75 inches were filled to a depth of 2 inches with 8 pounds of a loamy sand soil pre-treated with 50 ppm Captan 50W and 18. 18. 18 fertilizer.
~; One pint of the soil was removed, the remaining soil was leveled and seven rows were impressed across the width of the flat. Three dayflower (Commelina diffusa) cuttings 3 to 4 inches long, six yellow nutsedge tubers (~y~ esculen-tus), and seeds of annual morning-glory (Ipomoea purpurea), curly dock (Rumex crispus), sesbania (Sesbania spp.) and rice (Oryza sativa) were planted in separate rows. The pint of soil was used to cover 0.5 inches deep the seeds, tubers and part of the cuttings. The planted soil was placed in ~ a greenhouse-and irrigated by sprinkling as needed to keep -~ the soil moist. Three days ater the initial seeding an-other row was impressed 0.5 inches deep across the width of the flat and seeds of watergrass (Echinochlow crusgalli) ,,;, were planted and covered by pinching together the soil on either side of the seeder row. Seven to ten days after the original seeding, the soil was flooded with 2 inches oE
water. At floodlng time the grass species were in two leaf stage 1 to 2 inches high, the nutsedge was 1 inch high, the cuxly dock was in thecotyledon stage about 1 inch high, , ~
`~ the other broadleaf species were 2 to 3 inches high the ~ ~

stock solution of test compound dissolved in 20 ml of acetone containing 1% Tween 20 at a level proportiona-te to 2 lb/acre of the test compound. The water level in the tubs was main-tained by adding water as needed. Three weeks after ap-plication the species were rated visual]y as percent control Erom 0 to 100~, where 0% represents no injury and 100%
represents complete kill when compared to the untreated check.
; The rice was substantially unaffected. The percent control was based on the total injury to the other plants.
The results of this test are given in Table II
under the heading "Post-flood - Rice" in terms of percent control of species other than rice, with respect to 100 control.

in the art, thereby making them suitable for application as dusts, sprays, or drenches and the like, in the form and manner required. The mixtures can be dispersed in water with the aid of a wetting agent or -they can be employed in organic liquid compQsitions, oil and water, water in oil emulsions, with or without the addition of wetting, dispersing 20 or emulsifying agents. An herbicidally effec-tive amount depends upon the nature of -the seeds or plants -to be control-led and the rate of application varies from 0O5 -to approxi-mately 50 pounds per acre.
The compositions of the present invention are mos-t advantageously applied at the post-emergen , post-flood stage, . .l .
for example by spraying from either aircraft or with hand-held or other ground level sprayers. Incorporation of the compounds into the flood water is most advan-tageously performed when the rice is at a height of several inches above the water; if ap-plied too early the compound~ could cause injury to very young rice plants; i~ appliPd much later the compounds would llO-t be as effective against fully grown weed species.
