Abstract
Diphenyl ether derivatives of formula II ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom or an alkyl or haloalkyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each independently represents a hydrogen or halogen atom, or an alkyl, haloalkyl, nitro or cyano group, and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, useful as intermediates in the preparation of diphenyl ether herbicides, are prepared by treating a compound of formula III ##STR2## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are as defined above with a dicarboxylic acid of formula R.sub.6 --CH(COOH).sub.2, where R.sub.6 is as defined above, in the presence of an organic base.
