Process for preparing substituted chloroaromatics

Substituted chloroaromatics are obtained in a simple manner in virtually isomer-free form when substituted phenols of the formula (II) STR1 where R1 to R5 are each, independently of one another, hydrogen, C1 -C10 -alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C6 -C10 -aryl or halogen, with at least one of these radicals being different from hydrogen, are reacted with dichlorotriphenylphosphorus.

Herbicidal 3-(substituted-benzyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracils

Herbicidal 3-(substituted-benzyl)-1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyluracils, compositions containing them, and methods of using them to control undesired plant growth, including use to control weeds in certain crops, are disclosed. The herbicidal compounds of the present invention are defined by the following generic structure: STR1 in which V is hydrogen or halogen; W is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkoxy, lower alkylaminocarbonyl, propargyloxy, or cyano; X is hydrogen or chlorine; and Y is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, lower alkylaminocarbonyl, or carboxy.
