The pyridine compound used as starting material can be prepared from a 2-halopyridine compound, generally the 2-chloro substituted compound; having trichloromethyl substitution in either or both of the 3- and 5-ring positions in addition to any desired chloro or bromo substitution at the 3- or 5--positions, if not occupied by a CC13 group, by reacting the pyridine compound with a fluorinating material such as anti- money trifluoride whereupon the trichloromethyl group or groups are converted to trifluoromethyl groups.
- The compounds of the present invention wherein T is sulfur similarly can be prepared by the reaction of 2-(4--mercaptophenoxy)propanoic acid or an ester thereof with an appropriate substituted pyridine in substantially the same manner as described above.
- The reaction between such a substituted pyridine and the.said hydroxy- or mercapto-phenoxy propanoic acid can be readily carried out in a polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide to which has been added a small amount of aqueous or powdered sodium hydroxide. Reaction is usually carried out at a temperature in the range of about 70 to about 125°C over a period of about 1 to 3 hours under ambient atmospheric pressure. The reaction mixture is then allowed to cool and is poured into a quantity of cold water and acidified with hydrochloric acid, whereupon the product precipitates and is separated and purified as may be required.
- The propanoate esters of the present invention may be prepared in substantially the same manner as set forth above for the propanoic acids, using the requisite ester of 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propanoic acid or 2-(4-mercaptophenoxy)--propanoic acid to react with the appropriately substituted 2-halopyridine. Or, if desired, the appropriate propanoic acid of the invention is esterified by first converting to the acid chloride with thionyl chloride and then reacting the acid chloride with the appropriate alcohol, or, mercaptan, such as ethyl mercaptan, propyl mercaptan, or butyl mercaptan, according to generally accepted procedures or the classic method of reacting an alcohol and an acid in the presence of a little sulfuric acid may be followed.

- Ethers of the alcohols of the invention are prepared _by reacting the alcohol with, e.g., sodium hydride in a polar solvent such as dimethyl formamide at a temperature of about 35 to 60°C, after which an alkyl bromide is added to the reaction mixture and heated to 75 to 100°C for one to two hours. The solvent medium is then stripped off under reduced pressure and the crude product is poured into cold water and final product taken up with water immiscible solvent such as heptane. The solvent, on being stripped off, leaves an oily product.

The methoxy group, if present, is then cleaved off the phenyl ring by refluxing the compound in'48% by weight HBr for about an hour and after purification, precipitated from acidic solution and recovered, as by filtration, and dried. The 4-(trifluoromethyl-substituted 2-pyridyloxy)phenol, or 4-(trifluoromethyl-substituted 2-pyridylthio)phenol, is then dissolved in a solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, anhydrous powdered sodium hydroxide is added thereto and reacted therewith for a few minutes at about 75 to 85°C. Then an ester, such as the ethyl ester of 2-bromopropanoic acid is added to the reaction mixture and stirred for a time, such as about half an hour, at approximately 100°C or up to about 2 hours in the case of the sulfur bridged compound. The reaction mixture is then allowed to cool and poured over ice or simply into cold water whereupon an oily layer separates which can be recovered by taking up in a water-immiscible solvent and subsequently stripping the solvent off leaving an oily product. The product so obtained will be the alkyl ester of the propanoic acid compound. In carrying out the several reactions of this alternate process, the reactants are usually mixed with a carrier medium, such as, for example, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide,- dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoramide, or sulfolane. The first step condensation is generally carried out at a temperature of at least 50°C, preferably about 70 to about'150°C and during a reaction period of about 1 to about 20 hours, preferably about 1 to about 10 hours. The second condensation reaction is carried out under similar reaction conditions except that the reaction Ring Substituents On Pyridine

- The compounds of the present invention have been found to have advantage over prior art compounds in the control of perennial grassy weeds in that the present com- - pounds control a broader spectrum of such weeds than the counterpart compounds while exhibiting a higher level of activity or control at-like dosage rates. In addition, the present compounds are sufficiently tolerant towards most broad leafed crops to contemplate control of grassy weeds therein at substantially commercially practicable levels, particularly so with the preferred compounds.
- For such uses, unmodified active ingredients of the present invention can be employed. However, the present invention embraces the use of the -compounds in composition form with an inert material known in the art as an adjuvant or carrier in solid or liquid form. Thus, for example, an active ingredient can be dispersed on a finely-divided solid and employed therein as a dust. Also, the active ingredients, as liquid concentrates or solid compositions comprising one or more of the active ingredients can be dispersed in water, typically with aid of a wetting agent, and the resulting aqueous dispersion employed as a spray. In other procedures, . the active ingredients can be employed as a constituent of organic liquid compositions, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions or water dispersions, with or without the addition of wetting, dispersing, or emulsifying agents. Suitable adjuvants of the foregoing type are well known to those skilled in the art.
- The concentration of the active ingredients in solid or liquid compositions generally is from about 0.0003 to about 95 percent by weight or more. Concentrations from about 0.05 to about 50 percent by weight are often employed. In compositions to be employed as concentrates, the active ingredient can be present in a concentration from about 5 to about 98 weight percent. The active ingredient compositions can also contain other compatible additaments, for example, phytotoxicants, plant growth regulants, pesticides and the like and can be formulated with solid particulate fertilizer carriers such as ammonium nitrate, urea and the like.
- The present compounds which are substituted propanol or propyl ethers are more effective in preemergent operations than in postemergent applications.
- The exact rate to be applied is dependent not only on a specific active ingredient being applied, but also on a particular action desired (e.g., general or selective contro] the plant species to be modified and the stage of growth thereof as well as the part of the plant to be contacted witl the toxic active ingredient. Thus, all of the active ingredients of the present invention and-compositions containing the same may not be equally effective at similar concentrations or against the same plant species. In non--selective preemergence and foliar treatments, the active ingredients of the invention are usually applied at an approximate rate of from about 0.5 to about 5 pounds/acre (0.56-5.6 kg./hectare), but lower or higher rates may be appropriate in some cases such as 0.01 to about 20'pounds/ac (0.011-22.4 kg./hectare). In preemergent operations for selective uses a dosage of about 0.05 to about 20 pounds/acr (0.056-22.4 kg./hectare) is generally applicable, a rate of 0.2 to 4 pounds/acre (0.224-4.48 kg./hectare) being preferre and about 0.75 to about 1 pound/acre (0.84-1.12 kg./hectare) being most preferred.
- In selective postemergent operations a dosage: of about 0.01 to about 20 pounds/acre (0.011-22.4 kg./hectar is generally applicable, although not all compounds and equally effective and some weeds are more difficult to control. Thus, a dosage rate in the range of about 0.05 to about 0.75 pounds/acre (0.056-0.84 kg./hectare) is preferr in postemergent control of annual grassy weeds, while above 0.5 to about 5 pounds/acre (0.56-5.6 kg./hectare) is a preferred dosage range for the postemergent control of perennial grassy weeds.
-
- In representative operations, each compound to be utilized in a series of tests is dissolved in acetone to one-half of the final volume (twice the final concentration) to be used and the acetone solution in each case is admixed with an equal volume of water containing 0.1 percent by weight of surface active material. The compositions, generally in the nature of an emulsion, were employed to treat separate respective seed beds of sandy loam soil of good nutrient content'wherein each seed bed contained separate groups, of viable seeds, each group being of one.plant specie. The various beds were positioned side by side and exposed to substantially identical conditions of temperature and light. Each bed was maintained so as to prevent any interaction with test compounds in different seed beds. Each seed bed was treated with one of the compositions as a soil drench applied uniformly throughout the surface of the bed. The compositions were applied to the seed beds so that different seed beds of a given plant specie were treated with one of each of the test compounds. Another seed bed was treated only with water to serve as a control. After treatment, the seed beds were maintained for two weeks under greenhouse conditions conducive for good plant growth and watered as necessary. The specific plant specie, test compound and dosage and the percent preemergent control obtained are set forth in the table below. Control refers to the reduction in growth compared to the observed results of the same specie.
- To illustrate the phytotoxic properties of the various active ingredients of the present invention in post emergent application, a group of controlled greenhouse experiments is described below.
- Various species of plants were planted in beds of good agricultural soil in a greenhouse. After the plants had emerged and grown to a height of about 2-6 inches (5-15cm ) a portion ofthe plants were sprayed with an aqueous mixture made by mixing a selected active ingredient and emulsifier or dispersant with about 1:1 water-acetone, employing sufficient amounts of the treating composition to provide application rates of 4000 parts per million (ppm) or about 10 pounds per acre (11.2 kg/hectare) and in some cases so Other portions of the plants were left to serveas controls.
-
- In a series of tests clearly demonstrating the herbicidal properties of the compounds of the present invention applied in postemergent application, various metal and amine salts of propancic acids prepared in aqueous solution as described hereinabove and brought initially to a dilution of 4000 ppm were applied to growing plants under greenhouse conditions.
- Various species of plants were planted in pots containing good agricultural soil in a greenhouse. After the plants had emerged and grown to a height of about 2-6 inches (5-15 cm.), some of the plants were sprayed, respectively, with a respective one of the said aqueous solutions then diluted and sprayed on other respective selected plants at lower rates, each species of plant not being run at all rates. Other plants were left untreated to serve as controls. Still other plants, plants of Bermuda grass, blue grass, Johnscn grass and cheat grass, were allowed to crow to 6-8 inches (15-20 cm.) then four times cut back to 2 inches (5 cm. ) and allowed to regrow, all over about a 6-7 week period providing established plants.
- After about two weeks, the effect of the respective test ingredients used on various respective plants was evaluated by comparison with the control group of plants. The results showed that the potassium and triethylamine salts of 2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-3-chloro-2-pyridyloxy)phehoxy]-propanoic acid applied (a) at a rate of 4000 ppm gave complete control of Bermuda grass, vorghum and barnyard grass while showing little or no control of cottons (b) at a rate of 2000 ppm gave substantial to complete control of bluegrass and rice while showing no effect on soybeans; (c) at a rate of 1000 ppm gave complete control of Johnson grass , crabgrass and yellow foxtail; and (d) at a rate of 500 ppm exhibited complete control of cheat grass, corn, wheat and wild oats. control of wild oats, foxtail, barnyard grass cotton, pigweed, annual morning glory orvelver leaf, while -dimethyl-2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pycidyloxy)phenoxy]-propanamide showed complete control or wild oats, foxtail barnyard grass and crabgrass.
