Aromatic fluorine compounds. VIII. Plant growth regulators and intermediates

The preparation and properties of 41 fluorophenoxyacetic acids, 4 fluorophenoxypropionic acids, 2 fluorobenzoic acids, several indole derivatives, and a number of miscellaneous compounds are described. Data are given for many intermediates such as new fluorinated phenols, anisoles, anilines and nitrobenzenes. Most of the subject compounds are related to a number of well-known herbicides or plant growth regulators such as 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and others.

A combined deamination and nitro reduction method for nitroanilines

The hypophosphorous acid-cuprous oxide deamination method on nitroanilines has been modified so that the nitro compounds which are formed are reduced in turn by cuprous oxide to the corresponding amines. Over-all yields of 55-65% are reported for three halogenated nitroanilines.
