Acifluorfen-Sodium

2-nitrobenzoate, Sodium-5[2 chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy] 2 nitrobenzoate 

Uses Selective contact herbicide, absorbed by the foliage and roots with negligible translocation. Sunlight enhances 

This herbicide can be manufactured from m-cresol though one or two manufacturers use alternate route without use of m-cresol. BASF, Rohm and Hass and Rhone-Poulenc (now Mobile Chemical Co.) are manufacturing acifluorfen. Global demand is estimated to the tune of 750 tpa.

Diphenyl ether herbicides. The diphenyl ether class of herbicides belongs to a broader area of herbicides known as protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox) herbicides [20,21], Diphenyl ether herbicides were initially introduced over four decades ago in the 1960s with the discovery of nitrofen by Rohm and Haas (now Dow AgroSciences) [22] and bifenox by Mobil [23], These early diphenyl ether herbicides did not attain a significant role in the control of weeds in commercial crops until the 1970s, with the introduction of the trifluoromethyl compounds oxyfluorfen [24] and acifluorfen-sodium [25], Replacement of the chlorine with a trifluoromethyl group resulted in a dramatic increase in the herbicidal properties of these compounds, in terms of both potency and the spectrum of weeds controlled.

Rohm and Haas introduced recently two new members of the diphenyl ether group, namely 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl)phenoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid (acifluorfen, 4) and 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl 3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenyl ether (oxyfluorfen, 5) (Biroli et al., 1980 Theissen, 1982 Swithenbank, 1982). Acifluorfen is used as its sodium salt soluble in water.
