Abstract: A method of preparing solid hydroxyalkylamides by reacting carboxylic alkyl esters with alkanolamines at controlled reaction temperatures, removing the alcohol byproduct, controlling the temperature of the reaction mixture to form a slurry, maintaining the slurry and recovering the solid hydroxyalkylamides.
Abstract: This invention is directed to diphenyl ethers having in the 3' position a radical of the formula: ##STR1## The products are prepared by reacting a 3'-halocarbonyl compound with an appropriate substituted hydroxyl amine. These compounds and their agronomically acceptable salts and compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients are selective herbicides.
Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, halo, trihalomethyl, alkyl, nitro or cyano; X.sup.1 is hydrogen, halo, or trihalomethyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, phenyl or benzyl; n is 1 to 5, and Z is nitro, and compositions containing these compounds exhibit herbicidal activity.
Abstract: The herbicidal 4-trifluoromethyl-3'-nitrogen-substituted-4'-substituted diphenyl ethers comprise a class of compounds that are highly effective herbicides.
