Dinoben [2,5-Dichloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid] 
After treatment of soybean plants with dinoben-C!", a conjugate was 
isolated that was chromatographically identical to the N-glycoside of 
amiben, Hydrolysis of this metabolite yielded a compound that was chroma- 
tographically similar to amiben-C!* and gave similar chemical reactions. 
It appeared, therefore, that soybean roots reduced the nitro group to an 
amine and conjugated the resultant compound with glucose (295). Dinoben- 
cis hydroxypropyl ester was rapidly hydrolyzed by both corn and sudax to 
dinoben-C!*, This was reduced to amiben and converted to N-glycosides 
(296).
