Phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acids

While chlorinated derivatives are potent herbicides, the structurally related alkyl-substituted phenoxyalkylcarboxylic acids have no pesticidal effect. These compounds are mentioned here because their chromatographic behavior is similar to that of these herbicides. Their separation was studied on reversed-phase TLC (RPTLC) plates having different lengths of carbon chains chemically bonded to silica layers using different mobile phases. This work could provide a possible means for chromatographic studies on their chlorinated derivatives (88) (Table 7).
