A series of novel 3‐aryl‐1‐[2‐(aryloxy)propanoyl]imidazolidine‐2,4‐diones were synthesized by the condensation of 3‐aryl‐imidazolidine‐2,4‐diones with 2‐(aryloxy)propanoyl chlorides under mild conditions. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ^1^H NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The preliminary bioassay indicated that the target compounds II displayed excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledonous (barnyard grass) and dicotyledonous (oil rape) plants. J.
