摘要

A 2-benzyloxy-4-phenoxypyrimidine derivative represented by the formula (I): <IMG> (I) wherein R1 represents hydrogen, a halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 haloalkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 haloalkoxy, C3-C5 alkenyloxy, C1-C4 alkylthio, C1-C4 haloalkylthio, cyano, or phenyl; each X, which may be identical or different if n is greater than 1, represents a halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 haloalkyl, or C1-C4 alkoxy; each Y, which may be identical or different if m is greater than 1, represents a halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 haloalkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 haloalkoxy, C1-C4 alkylthio, or C1-C4 haloalkylthio; and n and m each independently represent an integer of 0 to 5, which is useful as a herbicide.
