A stirred solution of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzotrifluoride (22.55 g. 0.1 mole) and the potassium salt of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (19.12 g. 0.1 mole) in dimethyl acetamide (75 ml) was heated at 150° for 4 hours. The cooled reaction solution was diluted with water (300ml) to precipitate a brown solid which was filtered and dried to give 28.9 g (85%) of 4-nitro-3-tolyl-2'-nitro-α, α, αtrifluoro-4'-tolyl ether, which had an m.p. of 82°-85° C. To a stirred solution of the above diphenyl ether product (25.0 g, 0.073 mole) and sodium dichromate (35.8 g., 0.12 mole) in glacial acetic acid (200 ml) was added concentrated sulfuric acid (60 ml, 1.15 moles) over about 30 minutes. The temperature was maintained below 70° C. during the addition and then raised to 110° C. for 15 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to 60° C. and extracted with hot chloroform. The extract was evaporated to dryness to give an oily solid, which was leached free of starting material with an ether-ligroin mixture. The resulting off-white solid acid weighed 13.6 g (51%), m.p. 185°-187°.
EXAMPLE 26 2-Nitro-5-[2'-nitro-4'-(α,α,α-trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]benzoic acid methyl ester
A stirred solution of the acid from Example 25 (3.5 g, 0.0094 mole) in a 25 wt. %/vol. solution of borontrifluoride in methanol (50 ml) was refluxed for 10 hours. The cooled solution was poured onto water (250 ml) and the resulting oil separated and dried to give 3.4 g (93.5%) of the desired product.
EXAMPLE 27 Methyl 2-nitro-5-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy) thiobenzoate
Into a solution of 2-nitro-5-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy) benzoyl chloride (4.16 g., 0.012 mole), prepared from the corresponding acid, in 40 ml. benzene was bubbled methanethiol gas for 0.5 hour at room temperature. The gas bubbling was stopped and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 15 minutes and then cooled. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, washed twice with 10% aqueous NaOH, once with NaCl solution, dried, and evaporated to dryness to give 4.3 g. of a oil. Infrared analysis showed a large amount of initial benzoyl chloride was unreacted. The oil was dissolved in 100 ml. benzene and 1.5 g. triethylamine was added. The reaction mixture was heated to 65°-70° C. and methanethiol was bubbled in. There was an immediate precipitate. After 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled, filtered, and evaporated to dryness to give 4.6 g. of the desired product.
EXAMPLE 28 Ethyl 2-nitro-5-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy) thiobenzoate
A mixture of 2-nitro-5-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy) benzoyl chloride (4.16 g. 0.012 mole) and ethanethiol (2.24 g., 0.036 mole) in 40 ml. benzene was heated at reflux for 2 hours and 50 minutes and then cooled. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, washed twice with 10% aqueous NaOH, once with NaCl solution, dried, and evaporated to dryness to give 4.2 g. of an oil. Infrared analysis showed a large amount of initial benzoyl chloride and some desired product. The oil was dissolved in 100 ml. benzene and 3.0 g. ethanethiol and about 1.5 g. triethylamine were added. A precipitate formed immediately. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hours, cooled, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give 4.65 g. of the desired product.

As is apparent from the data in the Table set forth hereinafter, the compounds embodied herein in which the nitro group is in the 2-position and the substituted phenoxy group is in the 5-position exhibit markedly higher effectiveness as herbicides than do the comparable compounds in which the nitro group and the substituted phenoxy group are in different positions.
The compounds of this invention can be applied in various ways to achieve herbicidal action. They can be applied, per se, as solids or in vaporized form, but are preferably applied as the toxic components in pesticidal compositions of the compound and a carrier. The compositions can be applied as dusts, as liquid sprays, or as gas-propelled sprays and can contain, in addition to a carrier, additives such as emulsifying agents, binding agents, gases compressed to the liquid state, odorants, stabilizers, and the like. A wide variety of liquid and solid carriers can be used. Non-limiting examples of solid carriers include talc, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, pyrophyllite, fullers earth, gypsum, flours derived from cotton seeds and nut shells, and various natural and synthetic clays having a pH not exceeding about 9.5. Non-limiting examples of liquid carriers, include water; organic solvents, such as alcohols, ketones, amides and esters; mineral oils, such as kerosene, light oils, and medium oils and vegetable oils, such as cottonseed oil.

All crop and weed species are planted individually in 3" plastic pots containing potting soil. Four seeds of each of corn, cotton, and snapbeans are seeded to a depth equal to the diameter of the seed. All other species are surface seeded and sprinkled with screened soil in an amount sufficient to cover the seeds. Immediately after planting, all pots are watered by sub-irrigation in greenhouse trays. Pots for the pre-emergence phase are seeded one day before treatment.
Planting dates for the post-emergence phase are varied so that all the seedings will reach the desired state of development simultaneously. The proper state of seedling development for treatment in the post-emergence phase is as follows:

METHOD OF TREATMENT
Spray applications are made in a hood containing movable belt and fixed spray nozzle. For passage through the spray hood, one pot of each species (pre-emergence phase) is placed on the forward half of a wooded flat and one pot of established plants (post-emergence phase) is placed on the rear half of the flat. Treatments are moved to the greenhouse after spraying. Watering during the observation period is applied only by sub-irrigation.
Compounds are screened initially at a rate of application equivalent to four or eight pounds per acre. Two weeks after treatment the pre- and post-emergence percent effectiveness is visually rated. Subsequent testing is carried out at 2,1 and 0.5 pounds per acre.
Herbicidal testing of the compounds of Examples 1 through 28 and of the comparative compounds provided the results set forth in the Table. The plants are tabulated using the following abbreviations:
