Claims
- 1. A compound having the formula ##STR81## wherein X is a halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl group, n is an integer of 1 to 3 inclusive, and R is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, an acetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, an N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group, a loweralkyl group, a lower-alkenyl group or a benzoyl group; and an alkali metal salt thereof.
- 2. A compound according to claim 1 wherein it is in the form of an alkali metal salt.
- 3. A compound according to claim 1 wherein X.sub.n is a 2,4-dichloro-, 2,4,6-trichloro-, 2,4-dichloro-6-fluoro-, 2-chloro-4-bromo-, 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl- or 2-bromo-4-trifluoromethyl-substituent.
- 4. A compound according to claim 1 wherein R is a hydrogen atom, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkoxy moiety, an acetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, an N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkenyl having 2 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzoyl group.
- 5. A herbicidal composition which comprises (i) as an active ingredient a herbicidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR82## wherein X is a halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl group, n is an integer of 1 to 3 inclusive, and R is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, an acetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, an N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group, a lower-alkyl group, a lower-alkenyl group or a benzoyl group; and an alkali metal salt thereof; and (ii) an agriculturally acceptable carrier.
- 6. A composition according to claim 5 wherein said active ingredient is in the form of an alkali metal salt.
- 7. A composition according to claim 5 wherein X.sub.n is a 2,4-dichloro, 2,4,6-trichloro-, 2,4-dichloro-6-fluoro-, 2-chloro-4-bromo-, 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl- or 2-bromo-4-trifluoromethyl-substituent.
- 8. A composition according to claim 5 wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkoxy moiety, an acetyl group, a chloroacetyl group, an N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms or a benzoyl group.
- 9. A composition according to claim 5 wherein said active ingredient is contained in an amount of 0.1-99% by weight, based upon the finished composition.
- 10. A process for the control of weeds which comprises applying to a locus to be protected, in an amount sufficient to exert a herbicidal action, a compound or an alkali metal salt thereof according to claim 1.
