~ or preparing the compounds of the invention various methods may be used, of which a few are described as fol:Lows and in the examples.
1.) Alcohols of the formula I ~Z = 0}1) can be obtained, as described above, by the reaction of compounds of the formuLa III with halogen-alcohols of the formula IV, by hydrolysis of the corresponding halogenalkyl-compounds (Z = hal-ogen) or by reduction of the corresponding esters of carboxylic acids of the formula II preferably with metal hydrides such, for example, as lithium aluminum hydride. For the case in which R2 = Z alcohols of the formula I can also be ob-tained by reacting a compound of the formula III, preferably an alkali salt thereof, with ethylene oxide.
2.) Halogen-compounds of the formula I (Z = Hal) can be prepared by reacting the corresponding alcohols with halogenating agents such as thionyl chloride.
3.) Mercaptans of the formula I ~Z = SH) are obtained, for example, from the corresponding halogen-compounds of the formula I (Z = Hal) by reaction with metal hydrogen sulphides, preferably alkali hydrogen sulphides or xanthates or by reaction with thiourea and subsequent alkaline splitting of the resulting isothiouronium salts.
4.) Esters are prepared, for example, by the reaction of alcohols of the form-ula I ~Z = OH) in the presence of acid-binding agents ~bases) by reaction with the corresponding acid halides, preferably acid chlorides or acid anhydrides, preferably in inert organic solvents, or also by the direct esterification of the components in the presence of acid catalysts and the use of suitable sol-vents forming azeotropes with water or in the presence of water-binding agents.
As acid halides ~chlorides) there may be used those of mono-basic acids such as alkane carboxylic acids, benæoic acids, benzenesulphonic acids and others, but also those of poly-basic acids such as carbonic acid, sulphuric acid, dicarboxy-~'7~ Z

lic acids, in which then the other acid group or groups are, for example, ester-fied or amidated, for example, by ester radicals OR6 or amide residues /
5~
Especially carbonic acid amides can be obtained by reacting compounds of the formula I (Z =OH) with corresponding carbamic acid halides in the pres-ence of acid-binding agents or by reaction with isocyanates of the formula R~NCO.
5.) Amines of the formula I ~Z = NR4R5~ are obtained by reaction of the corres-ponding halides (chlorides) of the formula I (Z = Hal (Cl)) with amines HNR~R5 in a manner in itself known.
The primary compounds of the formula III can be prepared by methods in themselves known, for example, in a manner analogous to the processes of German Offenlegungsschriften 1,668,896 and 2,~33,067.
The compounds of the formula I have a wide spectrum of action again-st weed grasses, but are well tolerated by dicotyledonous crop plants and by various types of cereals, and can therefore be used for combating weed grasses in crop plants selectively.
The preparations of the invention generally contain 2 to 95% by weight of the active substances of the formula I. They may be used in the form of wettable powders~ emulsifiable concentrates, solutions capable of being sprayed, dusting preparations or granulates in the usual preparations.
We~table powders are preparations capable of being dispersed uni-formly in water, which contain in addition to the active substance, besides a diluent or inert substance, also wetting agents, for example, polyoxethylated alkyl-phenols, polyoxethylated oleyl- or stearyl-amines, alkylsulphonates or alkylphenylsulphonates and dispersing agents, for example, sodium lignin sul-phonate, sodium 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulphonate, sodium dinaphthyl-methane disulphonate or also sodium oleylmethyl-taurinate.

~ -7_ ~17~%Z

Eimulsifiable concentrates are obtained by dissolving the ackive sub-stance in cm organic solvent, for example, butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylform-amide, xylene or also high boiling aromatics and the addition of a non-ionic wetting agent, for e~ampleJ a polyoxethylated alkylphenol or a polyoxethylated oleyl- or stearyl-amine.
Dusting preparations are obtained by grinding the active substance with finely divided solid substances, for example, talcum, natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophyllite or diatomaceous earths.
Solutions capable of being sprayed, such as are often marketed in spraying cans, contain the active substance dissolved in an organic solventJ as well asJ for exampleJ a mixture of 1uorochloro-hydrocarbons as a propellant.
Granulates can be prepared either by directing the active substance in the form of a jet onto granulated inert material capable of adsorption or by applying concentrates of the active substance by means of adhesives, for exam-ple, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or also mineral oils, onto the sur-face of carrier substancesJ such as sand, kaolinikes~ or of granulated inert material. Also, suitable active substances may be prepared in the manner usual for producing fertiliser granules, if desired in admixture with fertili~ers.
In the herbicidal preparations the concentrations of the active substances in the ordinary commercial formulations may vary. In wettable pow-ders the concentration of active substance varies, for example, between about 10% and 95%, the remainder consisting of the formulation additions mentioned above. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates the concentration of active substance is about 10% to 80%. Dust-like formulations contain generally 5 to 20% of active substance, and solutions capable of being sprayed contain about 2 to 20%. In the case of granulates the content of active substance depends in part on whether the active compound is present in liquid or solid form and on ~ -8-~7~2 what granulatin~ assistants~ i1Lers etc. are used.
For use, the ordinary commercial concentrates are optionally dilu~ed in the usual manner, for example, with water in the case of wettable powders and emulsifiable concentrates. Dust-like and granulated preparations and also solutions capable of being sprayed are not diluted with further inert substances before usa. The quantities required for use vary with the external condltions such as temperature, humidity, etcO They may vary within wide limits, for ex-ample, between 0.1 and lOoO kg per hectare of active substance, but preferably between 0.5 and 5 kg per hectare.
The active substances o the invention may be combined with other herbicides and soil insecticides.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.

FORMULATION EXAMPLES
Example A:
An emulsifiable concentrate is obtained from 15 parts by weight of active substance 75 parts by weight of cyclohexanone as solvent and 10 parts by weight of oxethylated nonyl-phenyl(10 EO) as emulsifier.

Example B:
A wettable powde~ easily dispersible in wa~er is obtained by mixing together 25 parts by weight of active substance 64 parts by weight of kaolin-containing quart~ as inert substance 10 parts by weight of potassium lignin sulphonate and l part by weight of sodium oleylmethyl-taurinate as wetting and dispersing agent and ground in a rod mill.

A dus~ing preparation is obtained by mixing to~ether 10 parts by weight of active substance and 90 parts by weight of talcum as inort substance and pulverised in a hammer mill.

Example D:
A granulate consists, for example, of about 2-15 parts by weight of active substance 98-85 parts by weight of inert granulate materials such, for example, as atapulgite, pumice and quartz sand.

PROCEDURAL EXAMPLES
Example 1:
2-~4'-~',4''-Dichlorophenoxy~-phenoxy~-propanol.
28.6 grams ~0.75 mol) of lithium aluminium hydride are introduced into 2 litres of absolute ether. 354.3 grams ~1 mol) of 2-~4'-~2",4"-dichloro-phenoxy)-phenoxy~-propionic acid ethyl ester dissolved in 500 ml of absolute ether are added dropwise while stirring, in a manner such that the reaction mix-ture is maintained at the boil. After the addi~ion, the mixture is further stirred for 1 hour at the boiling temperature. After the addition of one litre of water and one litre of sulphuric acid of 10% strength, the ether phase is separated and the aqueous phase is extracted by agitation twice with 300 ml of ether each time. The combined ether phases are washed neutral with water and dried. After remo~ing the ether, the residue that remains behind is distilled in vacuo. By distillation there are obtained 303 grams ~96.7% of theory) of 2-C4'-(2'',4''-dichlorophenoxy)-phenoxy~-propanol of Bp~o 1 181C.

Ihe seeds of grasses were sown in pots and the preparations of the invention formulated as scatterable powders were sprinkled at various dosages onto the surface of the soil. The pots were then placed in a gree~ for 4 weeks. The result o the treatment (as also in the case of the following ~xam-ples) was assessed by the method of evaluation according to the system of Bolle ~Nachrichtenblatt des Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienstes 16, 1964, 92 - 94):

The procedure was the same with the herbicidal agents used for com-parison, fluorodifen (4-nitrophenyl-~2'-nitro-4'-trifluoromethylphenyl) ether) and mecoprop (2-~4'-chloro-2'-methylphenoxy)-propionic acid). The results col-lated in Table 1 show that the claimed compounds are on the average more active ~ - 51 -~171~

against grasses thall the two herbicicles for comp~Lrison. A similar action against grasses is shown also by the claimecl compounds according to Examples 2, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 26, 27, 28, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 58, 60, 61, 62, 64, 69, 70, 72, 75 and 81.

Example II:
The seeds of grasses were sown ln pots and grown in a greenhouse.
3 weeks after sowing the preparations of the invention formulated as scatterable powders were sprinkled at different dosages on the plants and th~ effect of the preparations was evaluated after a period of 4 weeks in the greenhouse. Also in this case fluorodifen and mecoprop served as herbicidal agents for comparison.
The claimed compounds in this method of application did indeed have a somewhat weaker action than in the pre-emergence method describPd in Example 1, but had a better action against grasses than the two agents for comparison ~Table II). A

The seeds for a large number of crop plants were inserted in pots.
Some of the pots were placed in a greenhouse for 2 to 3 weeks for germination and sprouting, and treated with the substances of the invention after the plantshad developed 2 to 3 true leaves. The outer pots were sprinkled immediately after being sown in the same manner as is given in Example 21. The result was ascertained 4 to 4~ weeks after the treatment, and is given in Table III. In particular, the results show that almost all dicotyledonous crop plants at the highest dosage ~2.5 kg per hectare) tolerate very well the preparations of the invention both in pre-emergence and post-emergence. As the effective dosage is about 0.6 kg per hectare, the active substances of the invention have a good selectivity in these crops.

, ~7~L22 ~xample IV
Seeds of n~aize and rice and of a few weed grasses that occur in these crops were sown in poks and al]owed to germina-te in a greenhouse Eor 3 weeks.
The preparations formulated in accordance with the invention as scattering pow-ders and the agents for comparison were then sprinkled on the plants in vari.ous dosages, and after ~ weeks the eEfect of the preparations was ascertained.
As agents for comparison the following compounds were used:
A = 2 { 4'(2",4"-dichlorophenoxy)-phenoxy]-propion:ic acid methyl ester tDT-OS 22 23 894) B = 2~4'~4"-chlorophenoxy)-phenox ~ propionic acid isobutyl ester (DT-OS 22 23 894) C = 2 ~4'-(4"-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-phenoxy~propionic acid methyl ester (DT-OS 24 33 067) The claimed compounds showed, as compared with the herbicides used for comparison, 8 distinctly better tolerability by maize and/or rice. At the dosages which did not, or only very slightly, damage the crop plants, they were outstandingly effective against the weed grasses tested. On the other hand, the compounds for comparison were not selective in mai~e and rice.
