Over the past 20 years a variety of benzyl and phenoxy substituted heterocyclic phytoene desaturase inhibitors have been found to exhibit high levels of herbicidal activity. We have recently found that two different isomers of benzylic substituted 1,2,4-triazoles show excellent levels of herbicidal activity. In this talk we will describe the syntheses, herbicidal activity, and structure-activity relationships of this new sub-class of phytoene desaturase inhibitors.
