-
, (2008/06/13)
Compounds of the class comprising (quinolinyl and quinoxalinyloxy)phenoxy) alkenols, e.g., 4-(4-((6-chloro-2-quinolinyl)oxy)phenoxy)-2-penten-1-ol; and a method of preparation, comprising reacting an appropriately substituted quinoline or quinoxaline, e.g., 2,6-dichloroquinoline, with a phenolic substituted pentenol, e.g., 4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-penten-1-ol, in the presence of a base and organic solvent under an inert atmosphere with or without heat, and then recovering the product. These compounds are useful as intermediates for preparing various known herbicidal compounds and are useful in their own right as post-emergent herbicides for controlling grassy weeds in the presence of corn plants.
