1. Field of the Invention

This invention is concerned with certain phenoxybenzoic acid salts and their use as herbicides.

2. Description of the Prior Art

It has been proposed to use as herbicides 2-methoxybenzoic acids (U.S. Pat. No. 3,013,054) and 4-phenoxy-benzoic acids (French Pat. No. 1,502,538). It is the discovery of this invention, however, that benzoic acids having a phenoxy substituent in the 5-position are very effective herbicides. U.S. Pat. No. 3,475,427 discloses a position isomer of the acids disclosed herein. This isomeric acid and its salts are ineffective as herbicides.

This invention provides the method for controlling plant growth that comprises applying an herbicidal amount of an herbicidal compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is halogen, n is 1 to 5, and M is alkali metal (Li, Na, K), alkaline earth metal (Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr), transition metal (e.g. Cu, Fe), ammonium, alkylammonium (C1 -C30), alkanolammonium (C1 -C3), alkyl (C1 -C30)dialkanol(C2 -C3)ammonium, dioxyalkylene(C2 -C3)alkyl(C1 -C30)-ammonium, dialkylammonium (C1 -C30), trialkylammonium (C1 -C30), alkoxyalkylammonium (C2 14 C6), dialkoxyalkyl ammonium (C3 -C6), aminoalkylammonium (C1 -C30), dialkylaminoalkylammonium (C3 -C8), alkenylammonium (C2 -C22), alkyl(C1 -C30)aminoalkyl(C2 -C6)ammonium, alkenyl(C2 -C30)aminoalkyl(C2 -C6)-ammonium, alkynyl(C3 -C12)ammonium, dialkenylammonium (C4 -C12), cycloalkylammonium (C3 -C6), alkyl(C1 -C30)ammoniumalkyl(C2 -C6)ammonium, benzylammonium, anilinium, substituted anilinium, guanidinium, or heterocyclicammonium (C4 -C6); and an herbicidal composition containing said compound .

The compounds of this invention are readily prepared by the Ullmann ether synthesis reaction between the alkali metal (Na, K) salt of a halophenol and a 5-halo (Cl, Br)-2-nitrobenzoic acid or an ester, amide, or salt thereof.

PAC Methyl 2-nitro-5-(2',4',6'-trichlorophenoxy)benzoate.

A stirred solution of methyl 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate (17.0 g., 0.079 mole) and the potassium salt of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (18.6 g., 0.079 mole) in dimethyl sulfoxide (100 ml.) was heated at 90° for 17 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with water (500 ml.) and then extracted with ether (3×100 ml.). The combined ether fractions were washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution (2×30 ml.) and then with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The ether solution was dried (Na2 SO4) and the solvent evaporated to give a dark oil. Two crystallizations (petroleum ether) gave 1.91 g. of a pale yellow solid, m.p. 101°-103°.

For comparison, a position isomer of the acids used to form the salts of this invention was prepared, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,475,427. Salts of this isomeric acid were prepared by known salt-forming methods. These compounds are:

(25) 2-nitro-3-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid.

(26) ethanolammonium 2-nitro-3-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy)benzoate.

(27) n-propylammonium 2-nitro-3-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy)benzoate.

(28) potassium 2-nitro-3-(2',4'-dichlorophenoxy)benzoate.

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. These compositions are preferably applied directly to the soil and incorporated therewith. The compositions can be applied, as granulars or 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.

In practice, herbicidal application is measured in terms of pounds of herbicide applied per acre. The compounds of this invention are effective herbicides when applied in herbicidal amounts, i.e., at rates between about 0.2 pounds and about 10 pounds per acre.

All crop and weed species are planted individually in 3 inch 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 seedlings will reach the desired stage of developments simultaneously. The proper stage of seedling development for treatment in the post-emergence phase is as follows:

______________________________________
GRASSES: 2 inches in height
PIGWEED, BINDWEED, 1 or 2 true leaves visible
VELVET LEAF & TURNIPS:
above cotyledons
COTTON: first true leaf 1 inch in
length; expanded cotyledons
CORN: 3 inches-4 inches in height
BEANS: primary leaves expanded;
growing point at primary
leaf node.
______________________________________

Spray applications are made in a hood containing a 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 wooden 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 subirrigation.

Compounds are screened initially at a rate of application equivalent to four to eight pounds per acre. Two weeks after treatment the pre- and post-emergence percent injury is visually rated. Subsequent testing can be carried out at 2,1 and 0.5 pounds per acre.

Herbicidal testing of the compounds of Examples 2 through 24 and 30 through 100 and the isomeric compounds showed the results set forth in Table I. The plants are tabulated using the following abbreviations:
