Extract

This paper reports on the synthesis and properties of 38 new herbicides, 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.
