Abstract
Compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is alkyl, lower alkenyl, chloro-lower alkyl, lower cycloalkyl, lower alkoxy, thio-lower alkyl, or ##STR2## R.sub.2 is hydrogen, lower alkoxyalkyl or lower alkanoyl; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; X and Y are independently chloro, fluoro or bromo; Z is hydrogen, methyl, dimethyl, or one methyl and one chloro substituent; and n is 0 or 1. The compounds have utility as herbicides, particularly as post-emergence herbicides.
