    Abstract: Carboxylic acids containing phenol groups are esterified by means of (C1-C3)-alcohols in the presence of acid catalysts without the phenolic hydroxyl groups being esterified at the same time by continuously metering an excess of a water-containing (C1-C3)-alcohol into a boiling hot solution or suspension of the phenol-con-taining carboxylic acid and of the catalyst in a nonwater-miscible solvent (for example xylene) and at the same time distilling off a ternary solvent/alcohol/water mixture via a water separator, the metering rate being such that an aqueous bottom phase separates out in the receiving flask and the water content of the alcohol being so apportioned as not to breach the bottom limit of 0.1% or the upper limit of 1% (based on the contents of the reaction vessel) at any time in the course of the reaction. In this process, the esterification products are obtained free of major impurities and frequently can be used further without further purification.

    Abstract: A herbicidal composition with reduced phytotoxic side effects which comprises a herbicidally active compound selected from the group consisting of phenoxy-phenoxycarboxylic acid-(C1-C4)-alkyl-esters, halogenobenzoxolyloxyphenoxy-carboxylic acid-(C1-C4)-alkyl esters, halogenobenzthiazolyloxy-phenoxy-carboxylic acid-(C1-C4)-alkyl esters, pyridyloxyphenoxy carboxylic acid-(C1-C4)-alkyl- and (C2-C4)-alkinyl esters, and 2-(N-ethoxybutyrimidoyl)-5-(2-ethylthiopropyl)-3-hhydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one, together with a dichlorophenoxyacetonitrile as the safener compound in an amount sufficient to reduce or suppress phytotoxic side effects of the herbicides.
