"AROMATIC-ALPHATIC CARBOLIC ACID DERIVATIVE SOFTWARE". The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) or salts thereof, wherein R¬1¬ means COOH or a derivative thereof, preferably a radical of the formula -CN, -C (= X) -YR or -C (X <39> R <39>) (X <39> <39> R <39> <39>) -YR, wherein R is H, a hydrocarbon radical (subst), a heterocyclic or acyl radical , Y is a direct bond or O, S, NR¬ c¬ or NR¬ c¬-NR¬ d¬R¬ e¬, n is the integer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and R <39 >, R <39> <39>, X, X <39>, X <39 <39>, R¬ a¬, R¬ b¬, R¬ c¬, R¬ d¬, R¬ e¬, R ¬ 2¬, R¬ 3¬, (R¬ 4¬) ~ m ~ as defined in claim 1, are suitable as softeners for crop plants or economically useful plants against phytotoxic actions of agrochemicals, preferably as softeners against the action of pesticides, such as herbicides, on these plants, wherein compounds of formula (I) or salts thereof, wherein R¬ 1¬ is COOH, R¬ 2¬, R¬ 3¬ are each hydrogen, (R¬ 4¬) ~ m ~ is a hydroxy radical (m = 1) at any position or two radicals R¬ 4¬ (m = 2) at any position, in which case one of the radicals is a hydroxy group and the other group is hydroxy or Methoxy, en is number 1, are used as softeners for crop plants or economically useful plants against phytotoxic effects of chemicals other than glyphosates. |
