Claim:
A phenoxyphenylhydrazine compound of the formula: a) wherein Q is —NY—NH—, —N═N—, or X is oxygen, sulfoxide, or sulfone; n is 1; Y is hydrogen, C 1 –C 4 alkanoyl, C 1 –C 4 haloalkanoyl, C 1 –C 6 straight chain alkoxycarbonyl, C 1 –C 4 alkoxy(C 1 –C 4 )alkoxycarbonyl, C 1 –C 4 alkyl, or C 1 –C 4 haloalkyl; R 1 is C 1 –C 6 alkoxy, C 3 –C 6 branched alkoxy, C 3 –C 6 cycloalkoxy, phenoxy, benzyloxy, C 2 –C 6 alkenyloxy, C 2 –C 6 alkynyloxy, C 1 –C 6 haloalkoxy, silyloxy, (C 1 –C 6 alkoxy)-carbonylmethoxy, C 1 –C 6 thioalkoxy, C 1 –C 6 alkylamino, C 1 –C 6 alkyl, C 3 –C 6 branched alkyl, or (C 1 –C 6 alkoxy)C 1 –C 6 alkoxy; R 2 and R 3 are each, independently, hydrogen, halogen, C 1 –C 6 alkyl, C 3 –C 6 branched alkyl, C 1 –C 6 haloalkyl, C 1 –C 6 alkoxy, C 1 –C 6 haloalkoxy, cyano, or (C 1 –C 6 alkoxy)carbonyl; R 4 is C 1 –C 6 alkyl; and Z 1 and Z 2 are each independently, carbon or nitrogen, with the proviso that when Z 1 is carbon, X is oxygen, and R 2 is hydrogen, then R 3 cannot be hydrogen; or b) wherein R 5 is C 1 –C 6 alkoxy; and R 6 and R 7 are, independently, halo or C 1 –C 6 haloalkyl.
