Abstract

The herbicide contains, besides formulation auxiliaries and inert substances, at least one compound of the formula I. In this formula, the symbols have the meanings given in patent claim 1. The compounds of the formula I are preferably used for controlling weeds.

Description

This invention relates to phenoxyphenoxy-aikane carboxylic acid derivatives, to a process for their preparation and to herbicidal compositions containing them.
German Offenlegungsschrift 2,433,067 discribes 4-phenoxy5 phenoxy-alkane-carboxylic acids and their derivatives carrying a trifluoromethyl group on the terminal phenyl ring. Compounds of this type have a selective herbicidal activity against grasslike weeds.
The present invention is based on the observation that 10 trifluoromethyl-phenoxyphenoxy-alkane carboxylic acids having additional substituents and their functional derivatives have an outstanding effect as selective herbicides in crop plants.
The present invention therefore provides compounds of in which R^ is a hydrogen or halogen atom, each Rj is a halogen atom or a C^-C^-alkyl group or a CFg group, n is 1 or 2, Rj is a hydrogen atom or a C^-C^-alkyl group, and R^ is a hydroxy, C-j-Cg-alkoxy, C^-Cg-hydroxyalkoxy, Cg-C^g-alkoxy-alkoxy, phenoxy20 C-j-C^-alkoxy, chlorophenoxy-Cj-C^-alkoxy, halo-C^-C^-alkoxy, CyCg-alkenyloxy, Cg-Cg-alkynyloxy, Cg-Cg-cycloalkyloxy, Cg-Cgcycloalkenyloxy, hydrazino, amino, C^-C^-alkylamino, difC^-C^alkyl)amino, phenylamino, phenyloxy, phenylthio (the phenyl group of which may carry one or more substituents selected from halogen atoms and trifluoromethyl, methyl, hydroxy and carbo(C-j-C^)-alkoxy groups), or -Ocat, in which cat is the cation of an inorganic or organic base.
In the compounds of formula I, the CF^ group on the terminal phenyl ring is preferably in the 4-position. Preferably, is a chlorine or bromine atom or, especially, a hydrogen atom; Rj is a bromine atom or, especially, a chlorine atom, advantageously in the 2-position i.e. adjacent to the -O-alkanecarboxylic acid group; Rg is a methyl group and R^ is a (C^-Cg)-alkoxy group, especially a (C1~C4)-alkoxy group, or an allyloxy group.
In accordance with the present invention, the compounds of the formula I are prepared by reacting a phenoxyphenol of the formula or a corresponding phenolate, optionally in the presence of an acid-binding agent, with a carboxylic acid derivative of the formula R, I3 X-CH-COR’4 III in which X is a halogen atom and R'4 is a hydroxy or C^-Cgalkoxy group and, if desired, transforming the resulting compound of the formula I into another compound of the formula I by esterification, saponification, salification, transesterification, or amidation.
In the formula III, X is preferably a chlorine or bromine atom; preferred halo-propionic acids are therefore 2bromo- and 2-chloropropionic acids.
The reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent, for example a ketone such as acetone or diethyl-ketone; a carboxylic acid amide such as dimethyl formamide; a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide; or an aromatic hydrocarbon, for example benzene or toluene. When using free phenols of the formula II, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an alkaline compound to bind the hydrogen halide liberated, for example potassium carbonate or a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine.
As soon as the reaction is complete, the resulting halide is separated by filtration or by the addition of water and, after removal of the organic solvent (if any), the ester or other derivative of the carboxylic acid obtained is isolated in known manner.
The compounds obtained can be purified in conventional manner, for example by distillation or recrystallization from an organic solvent or from a mixture of an organic solvent and water.
The various functional derivatives of the formula I can readily be transformed into one another in known manner. Carboxylic acid esters for example can be saponified by heating with alkaline agents, preferably aqueous bases, in the presence of lower alcohols. The alkaline solution can then be acidified whereby the free acid separates in the form of crystals or as an oil.
The free acids of formula I, obtained by saponification or by reaction with free halopropionic acids (R^ = OH) can be esterified in the usual manner, preferably in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid cata st such as sulfuric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, a Lewis acid, for example boron trifluoride, or an acid ion exchanger.
Suitable alcohols for the esterification are, for example, linear or branched aliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or cyclohexanol.
For the esterification, there can be used the acid chlorides, which are readily obtained, for example by reaction of the car5 boxylie acids of the formula I with thionyl chloride. Reaction of these with the above alcohols yields the corresponding esters.
Other derivatives of formula I are obtained by reacting the acid chlorides or esters with amines or anilines.
The starting compounds of the formula II can be obtained for iO example, by first preparing trifluoromethyl-phenoxyphenols according to the process described in DOS No. 2,433,066, which may then be chlorinated or brominated in known manner.
The present invention also provides herbicidal compositions containinq as active compound, a phenoxy-phenoxy-carboxyiic acid derivative of the formula I, together with a carrier.
The herbicidal compositions according to the invention contain 2 to 95 % of a compound of the formula I. They can be used in the form of emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, sprayable solutions, dusts, or granules.
Wettable powders are preparations that can be uniformly dispersed in water and contain, besides the active ingredient, a diluent or an inert substance, a wetting agent, for example polyoxethylated alkylphenols, or polyoxethylated oleyl- or stearyl-amines, alkyl- or alkyl-phenyl-sulfonates, and disper25 sing agents, for example the sodium salt of lignin-sulfonic acid, of 2,2'-dinaphthylmethane-6,6'-disulfonic acid, or sodium oleylmethyl-tauride. 4 4^® Emulsifiable concentrates are obtained by dissolving the active ingredient in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, or an aromatic hydrocarbon having a higher boiling point, and adding a non-ionic wetting agent (emulsifier), for example a polyoxethylated alkylphenol or a polyoxethylated oleyl- or stearyl-amine.
Dusting powders are obtained by grinding the active ingredient with, finely divided, solid substances, for example talc, natural clays such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophillite, or diatomaceous earths.
Spraying solutions, commercially available as aerosol sprays, contain the active ingredient dissolved in an organic solvent, and in addition thereto a propellant, for example a mixture of fluorochlorohydrocarbons.
Granules can be produced by atomizing the active ingredient on to an adsorptive, granulated inert material , or by applying concentrates of the active ingredient to the surface of a support, for example sand, kaolinite or a granulated inert material, with the aid of an adhesive, for example polyvinyl alcohol, the sodium salt.of polyacrylic acid, or mineral oils. Alternatively, suitable active ingredients may be made into granules, if desired in admixture with fertilizers, in the manner commonly used for the manufacture of granulated fertilizers.
The commercial herbicidal preparations contain varying concentrations of the active ingredients. Xn wettable powders the concentration of active ingredient varies, for example, from about 10 to 95 %, the remainder being the above formulation additives. Emulsion concentrates contain about 10 to 80 % of - 6 44423 active ingredient, while dusting powders generally contain 5 to 20 % of active ingredient and spraying solutions about 2 to 20 %. In the case of granules, the content of active ingredient depends on whether the active ingredient is liquid or solid and on the type of granulation auxiliary or filler used.
For application the commercial concentrates are optionally diluted in the usual manner, the wettable powder or emulsifiable concentrate, for example with water. Dusts and granulated formulations and sprayable solutions are not diluted further with an inert substance before application.
The amount applied varies with the external conditions, such as temperature, humidity and the like. The applied amounts can vary within wide limits, for example in the range of from 0.1 to 10.0 kg per hectare, preferably from 0.3 to 5 kg per hectare.
The active compounds of the invention can be mixed with other herbicides and soil insecticides.
Alternatively, the active compounds of the invention can be mixed with fertilizers whereby a fertilizing and simultaneously a herbicidal effect is obtained.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.
