Extract

Esters of the chlorophenoxyacetic acids are generally considered to be more phy to toxic than the acid or acid salts. Hence the esters have found wide use in herbicidal formulations. Much research has been done on the mode of action of plant growth regulators, but the fate of neutral derivatives of active acids has received little attention, even though an acid side chain is one of the molecular requirements for growth substance activity.
