This was the first compound in this group of herbicides to be produced and is currently used in more than 1500 different commercial products and in many different herbicide formulations 1 . The phenoxy herbicides are all based on the ring-like structure shown in Figure . The phenoxy herbicides have at least one atom of chlorine attached to the ring at various positions.

The respective compounds in these two categories are listed in Table . A B Figure Generic structures for phenoxy herbicides A and benzoic acid herbicides B .
