In general, halogenophenox:yfatty acid derivatives are produced by halogenating monohalogenophenols to obtain dihalogenophenols and then preparing' halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives from the resulting dihalogenophenols. The dihalogenophenols are prepared by th.e processes disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai (Laid-Open) Nos. 60-193939, 62-223140 and 3-99033 and Japanese Patent Kokoku (Post Exam. Publ.) No.
3-22377.
1 However, these processes involve the possibil-ity of producing the toxic dioxines as by-products.
Besides, it is necessary to use hydrogen peroxide in the process of Japanese Patent Kokai (Laid-Open) No. 62-223140, nitrogen-containing bases in the process of Japanese Patent Kokoku (Post Exam. Publ.) No. 3-22377 and water and two phase system in the process of Japanese Patent Kokai (Laid-Open) No. 3-99033 in addition to the chlorinating agents .
Furthermore, as a process for producing halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives by halogenating monohalogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives, it was reported to carry out the halo~genation using halogenat-ing agents and catalysts such ,as iodine and iron [J.O.C., 426 (1946)]. However, this process has the problem in after-treatment of the used catalysts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The inventors have made intensive research in order to develop a novel process for producing halogeno-phenoxyfatty acid derivatives :in a high yield without using catalysts. As a result, the present invention has been accomplished.
The halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives represented by the formula (I) which are produced by the process of the present invention are useful as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and chemical products and some of them which are novel compounds which have not yet been mentioned in literature.

R 1 haloge~ating R 1 X I -R - -~s X O O-C-R
R2 Rz (wherein R, R1, R2, X and Y are as defined above).
The objective halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives can be produced by selectively haloc~enating the phenoxyfatty acids represented by the formula (II:) with halogenating agents in the presence of inert solvents.
The inert solvents used in the present invention may be any of those which do not considerably hinder the progress of the above reaction. Examples of the solvents are halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and. perchloroethylene, carboxylic acids such as formic acid., acetic acid and 20 918 8 ~
propionic acid, aromatic hydrocarbons such as nitrobenzene) chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene and t:richlorobenzene, esters such as ethyl acetate, nitriles - 5a -1 such as acetonitrile and benzonitrile, amides such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, sulfolane, dimethyl sulfone, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, and water. These inert solvents may be used each alone or in combination.
As the halogenating agents, there may be used, for example, chlorine, bromine, iodine, hydrochloric acid-hydrogen peroxide, sulfuryl chloride, phosphorus pentachloride, N,N-dichlorourea, N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, hypohalogenous acid t-butyl esters, trichloroisocyanuric acid and trichloromethanesulfonyl-halogenides. The amount of the halogenating agent can be optionally selected from th.e range of from 0.1 mol to an excess mol per mol of the p~henoxyfatty acids represented by the formula (II).
If necessary, organic bases, inorganic bases or organic salts can be used in the process of the present invention. Examples of the organic bases are amines such as triethylamine a.nd pyridine, examples of the inorganic bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide a.nd barium hydroxide and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and calcium carbonate, and examples of they organic salts are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids such as sodium acetate, potassium acetate, calcium acetate and sodium benzoate ar,~d ammonium acetate.
1 The amount of them can be optionally selected from the range of from 0.1 mol to an excess mol per mol of the phenoxyfatty acids represented by the formula (II).
The reaction temperature can be optionally selected from the range of from -20°C to the boiling point of the inert solvents used.
The reaction time depends on the reaction temperature and the reaction scale, but can be selected from the range of several minutes to 48 hours.
After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture containing the objective products is isolated by usual methods such as extraction with solvents and, if necessary, is purified by column chromatography, recrystallization, distillation or the like whereby the halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives represented by the formula (I) or (I') can be produced.
Representative examples of the halogenophenoxyfatty acid derivatives represented by the formula (I') which are novel compounds are shown in Table 1.
