Studies on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) alkyl esters
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acids (2,4-D and MCPA, resp.) were esterifled with primary and secondary aics. to resp. racernic 2,4-D and MCPA esters. The Me esters of 2,4-D and MCPA were also transesterified with 2-alcoxy EtOH in 1,2-dichloroethane. The products were tested for biolog. activity in controlling weeds.
