TL;DRAbstract
HIS paper reports on the synthesis and properties of 38 new herbiT cides, amino acid derivatives of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)and 4-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)butyric acids. The biological evaluation of the compounds as selective herbicides is being conducted by other investigators and will be published later. In the past 18 years major advances have been made in the regulation of plant growth by use of synthetic organic compounds. Many of these new synthetics have reached commercial production and are widely utilized as herbicides. The most prominent among these have been the variously substituted phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acids. The literature abounds with reports on their structural configuration in relation to mode of action, growth-regulating properties and selective herbicidal properties. These researchers were stimulated by the early work on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and other related compounds triggered by such preparative contributions as Pokorny's (7) in 1941.
