A novel controlled-release formulation (CRF) of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was developed to reduce its negative environmental impacts by improving its herbicidal efficacy. The 2,4-D was chemically caged by coupling with photoremovable protecting groups (PRPGs) of coumarin derivatives. Photophysical studies of caged compounds showed that they all exhibited strong fluorescence properties. Controlled release of 2,4-D was achieved by irradiating the caged compounds using UV−vis light (310, 350, and 410 nm). The effect of various factors such as pH, solvent, and different substituents at the seventh position of coumarin moiety on the rate of photorelease was studied. The herbicidal activity of caged compounds and 4-(hydroxymethyl)-7-substituted coumarins was studied against Vigna radiata. The new formulation provided greater control over the release of 2,4-D by UV−vis light and also demonstrated the potential of the PRPGs not only to act as a delivery device but also to possess herbicidal activity after photorelease.
