A series of novel N-aryl-2-heteroaryloxy-N-isoproylacetamide derivatives were synthesized by multi-step reactions. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analyses. The target compounds were evaluated for their herbicidal activities against Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis Scop., Abutilon theophrasti, Setaria viridis, Zinnia elegans and Acalypha australis. The results indicated that some of the title compounds displayed excellent herbicidal activities.
