Abstract
4-substituted pyridyl-3-carbinols of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, or an acyl, alkyl or carbamyl group exhibit desirable preemergent and postemergent herbicidal activity. Also disclosed are herbicidal compositions comprising such compounds and methods of controlling undesirable vegetation employing such compounds. The compounds wherein AR is hydroxyl serve as useful intermediates for the production of the alpha-benzyl substituted compounds as well as exhibiting herbicidal activity.
