Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of d (+) and 1(–) Methyl-2-chloro-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-propionate

Abstract
D(+) and l(-) Methyl-2-chloro-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-propionate (common name chlorfenpropmethyl; trade mark Bidisin) were prepared and their herbicidal activities studied on Avena fatua L. and A. sativa L. ("Flaemingskrone''). The l(-) enantiomer was twice as active as the racemate, the d(+) form was almost inactive.
