Abstract: O-aryl N-phosphonomethylglycinonitriles having utility as herbicides are prepared by reacting in the absence of acidic catalysts 1,3,5-tricyanomethyl-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine with a diaryl phosphite. The products can be hydrolyzed to form N-phosphonomethylglycine.
Abstract: O-aryl N-phosphonomethylglycinonitriles are described as well as a process for producing same. These phosphonomethyl substituted glycinonitriles are useful as herbicides.
Abstract: A novel class of ortho or meta-alkoxycarbonylbenzyltrialkylphosphonium salts are prepared and demonstrate useful plant growth regulation when applied to desirable plants. Representative of this class of compounds is m-methoxycarbonylbenzyltributylphosphonium bromide.
Abstract: Certain N-(2-hydroxyalkyl) derivatives of N-phosphonomethylglycine have been found to be useful in the treatment of sugarcane plants to increase their sucrose content.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to N-organo-N-phosphonomethylglycine-N-oxides and derivatives thereof, to processes for producing same, and to herbicidal compositions and herbicidal methods. These compounds and the compositions containing them are useful as phytotoxicants or herbicides and as plant growth regulants.
Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to 2-halo-N-(N.sup.1 -hydrocarbyloxyoxalyl-N.sup.1 -acylaminomethyl)-2',6'-dialkylacetanilides, to a process for preparing these compounds, herbicidal compositions containing same and method of use to selectively control undesired vegetation in agricultural crops, e.g., monocotyledons such as wheat, sorghum and rice and dicotyledons such as sugarbeets and soybeans.
Abstract: A novel class of ortho or meta-alkoxycarbonylbenzyltrialkylphosphonium salts are prepared and demonstrate useful plant growth regulation when applied to desirable plants. Representative of this class of compounds is m-methoxycarbonylbenzyltributylphosphonium bromide.
Abstract: A herbicidal compound N-phosphonomethyl glycine is prepared by (a) reacting 1,3,5-tricarbohydrocarbonoxymethyl hexahydrotriazine with a di-monovalent hydrocarbon phosphite to form an ester of N-phosphonomethyl glycine which is thereafter (b) hydrolyzed and the N-phosphonomethyl glycine is recovered.
Abstract: Certain N-(2-hydroxyalkyl) derivatives of N-phosphonomethylglycine have been found to be useful as herbicides for the treatment of undesired plants.
Abstract: N-(perfluoroacyl)-N-phosphonomethyl glycine compounds are prepared by the reaction of N-phosphonomethyl glycine with perfluoroacyl anhydrides employing an excess of the perfluoroalkanoic acid as the solvent. The N-(perfluoroacyl)-N-phosphonomethyl glycine compounds are useful as post-emergent herbicides and as sugar cane ripeners.
Abstract: A synergistic herbicidal composition comprising as the active ingredient a mixture of N-(butoxymethyl)-6'-tert-butyl-2-chloro-o-acetotoluidide and N-(2-benzthiazolyl)-N,N'-dimethylurea and use of said composition particularly in cereal crops.
Abstract: A synergistic herbicidal composition comprising as the active ingredient a mixture of N-(butoxymethyl)-6'-tert-butyl-2-chloro-o-acetotoluidide and N-(3-chloro-4-methyl phenyl)-N',N'-dimethylurea (common name chlortoluron) and use of said composition particularly in cereal crops.
Abstract: A synergistic herbicidal composition comprising as the active ingredient a mixture of N-(butoxymethyl)-6'-tert-butyl-2-chloro-o-acetotoluidide and 5-amino-4-chloro-2-phenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone and use of said composition in sugarbeets.
Abstract: N-(perfluoroacyl)-N-phosphonomethyl glycine compounds are prepared by the reaction of N-phosphonomethyl glycine with perfluoroacyl anhydrides employing an excess of the perfluoroalkanoic acid as the solvent.
