(NHrCl) NaGl The beta-chloro intermediates only have been indicated in the above reaction merely for economic reasons. However, the beta-bromo and beta-iodo intermediates will also yield the equivalent phosphate derivatives.
The Completeness of the above reaction is dependent upon the type of solvent used. In general, polar solvents are better than non-polar solvents and certain catalysts such as tertiary amines and dimethyl formamide aid in bringing the reaction to completion.
The following non-limiting examples illustrate the preparation of this class of compounds:
Example 1--N-(beta-0,0-diethyldithiophosphorylelhyl)- benzene sulfonamide yielded after a four hour reflux period, 20.8 g. (88% of acre.

In making the tests for pre-emergence application, seeds of the test weed species are planted in individual rows one-half inch deep in Santa Cruz sandy loam soil contained in '8" x 12" metal flats. Enough seeds are planted to give about 30 to .50 plants of each weed species in each fiat. The flats are watered after planting and the following day each fiat is sprayed at a rate of 5 pounds of the compound under test in gallons of solution per The spraying is conducted as the flat is carried by a moving belt under a sprayer to simulate field spraying conditions. Two weeks later the degree of weed control is' determined by comparing the amount of germination and growth of each weed in the treated flats with the weeds in several untreated control flats.
The following chart shows the results of such tests.

The flats are watered after planting and the following day each flat is sprayed at a rate of 20 pound s of the com-v pound under test in 80 gallons of solution per acre. A No. 152 DeVilbiss atomizer is used to spray the solution on the soil surface. Two weeks later the degree of weed control is determined by comparing the amount of germination and growth of each weed in the treated flats with the weeds in several control flats.

The test rate, however, was 2 lbs/acre and the weed' species tested were crab grass, foXtail and water grass. The results were as Legends: Gegermination, Grgrowth (on a rating system of 0 to 10; 0=death or very severe effects, 10=n0rma1).
