Synthesis and Herbicidal and Antioxidant Activity of a Series of Hetero- and Carbocyclic Derivatives of Monochloroacetic Acid

Abstract

Monochloroacetic acid esters and amides containing carbo- and heterocycles and heterocyclic esters and amides derived from commercial aryloxyacetyl chlorides were synthesized. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by 1Н and 13С spectroscopy. The herbicidal activity of the substances was studied with respect to mono- and dicotyledonous plants. The relative antioxidant activity of the compounds was studied by recording the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. The experimental data, on the whole, confirm that the development of herbicides containing acetal and gem-dichlorocyclopropane fragments is appropriate and promising.
