Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel β-Methoxyacrylate Derivatives Containing a Substituted Phenylpyridine Moiety

In this paper, a series of new β-methoxyacrylate derivatives containing a substituted phenylpyridine moiety was synthesized and bioassayed. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS). Preliminary bioassays demonstrated that compound 8d showed more than 95% inhibition against Brassica juncea and Chenopodium serotinum at 37.5 g a.i./10⁴ m², when compared with the positive control halauxifen-methyl at 150 g a.i./10⁴ m². The present work demonstrated that compound 8d exhibited the more promising herbicidal activity and may serve as a new herbicidal agent for herbicide.     

Design,Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel Sulfonylureas Containing Tetrahydrophthalimide Substructure

To develop novel sulfonylurea herbicides, a series of chlorsulfuron derivatives was designed and synthesized through introducing tetrahydrophthalimide substructure taken from protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase(PPO) inhibitors onto the critical 5-position of the classical benzene ring. The structures of title compounds were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectrometry, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. In addition, the crystal structure of compound II-5 was further determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Bioassay results showed that individual compounds exhibited good herbicidal activities, especially compound II-8, which displayed 100% inhibition rate against Echinochloa crusgalli at 150 g/ha(1 ha=10⁴ m²) with the method of foliage spray in the pot experiment.     

Design,Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel Sulfonylureas Containing Triazole and Oxadiazole Moieties

Three novel series of 5-substituted sulfonylurea derivatives were designed and synthesized via introducing a triazole or oxadiazole ring at the 5th position of the benzene ring in classical sulfonylurea herbicides. All the target compounds were confirmed by means of ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), ¹³C NMR and elemental analysis. The bioassay results show that the target compounds containing an oxadiazole ring at the 5th position display moderate to excellent herbicidal activities against Brassica campestris and Amaranthus retroflexus under soil treatment. Especially, compounds zdk20, zdk21 and zdk22 possess 98.6%, 96.5% and 94.5% inhibition rates, respectively, against Amaranthus retroflexus at a concentration of 75 g/ha(1 ha=1×10⁴ m²) under soil treatment, which approach to those of the commercial herbicide chlorsulfuron.     

Synthesis and Herbicidal Activities of Novel Uracil Derivatives Containing Pyrimidinyl Moiety

In order to find novel protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors with high efficacy, broad-spectrum activity, and safety to crops, nine title compounds（4a-4i） were designed and synthesized by introducing pyrimidine moiety into the uracil skeleton with commercially herbicide butafenacil as the lead compound. Their structures were con- firmed by 1H NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The bioassay results indicate that most of com- pounds 4 tested exhibit good to excellent herbicidal activities against B. campestris, A. retroflexus, E. crusgalli and D. sanguinalis in pre-emergence treatment at a dose of 1.5 kg/ha（1 ha=10^4 m^2）, for example, compound 4i showed 100% inhibition against the four plants tested in pre-emergence treatment at a dose of 1.5 kg/ha. So, this type of skeleton can be used as a valuable lead compound for the further development of a pre-emergent herbicide.

2,2-Dichloro-1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,3,2-diazastanna-[3]ferrocenophane (3) reacts with lithium alkynides LiCCR¹ to give the corresponding di(alkyn-1-yl)tin derivatives 4a (R¹=^tBu) and 4b (R¹=SiMe₃). 1,1-Organoboration of 4 with triethylborane affords the spirotin compounds 5 which contain both a ferrocenophane and a stannacyclopentadiene ring. The crystal structure of 5b was determined by X-ray analysis.

Peri-interaction: crystal structure of 1,8-bis-(methylene-4,4′-bipyridinium)-naphthalene

C₃₂H₂₆N₄Br₂, M = 626.4, triclic ₁---C¹; (No. 2) with a = 13.530(5) Å, b = 10.781(5) Å, c = 10.444(5) Å, β = 97.62(3), V = 1493(1) ų, Z = 2, μ = 27.1 cm⁻¹, F = (000) = (600), D_c = 1.84 g cm⁻³. Several molecular conformations are possible for the title compound. Although free rotation of the bipyridyl moieties around the C---C bonds is possible, the bulky 4,4′-bipyridyls impose steric hindrance and restrict the free rotation. Examination of the Drieding model of the molecule eliminated those arrangements where considerable overlapping of the bipyridyls occurred. NMR results were not useful in choosing the most likely candidate for the structure from the remaining possibilities. Three-dimensional diffraction data was collected at 20+1 C on a computer-controlled four circle Nicolet audiodiffractometer using graphite crystal monochromated Mo-radiation. The most probable conformation where the hydrogen—hydrogen and bipyridyl—bipyridyl interactions are minimum is shown in Fig. 1.

An unexpected allomer of chlorophyll: 13(S)-hydroxy-10-methoxychlorophyll b

The allomerization of chlorophyll b in methanol produced 13²(S)-hydroxy-10-methoxychlorophyll b in a yield of ca. 8%. The formation of this allomer was totally unexpected, as 10-substituted chlorophylls have never been reported before. The structure of the new chlorophyll b derivative was determined on the basis of UV/Vis, FAB-MS, ¹H NMR and 2D ROESY NMR spectra. This letter focuses on the NMR analysis.     

Stereochemical studies of optically active 2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-δ-valerolactone derivatives as chiral dopant for ferroelectric liquid crystals

Both (2S, 5R)- and (2R, 5R)-2-hydroxy-5-alkyl-δ-valerolactone derivatives, cis and trans, respectively, show almost the same magnitude of spontaneous polarization (P_s) when added to a non-chiral smectic C mixture. The stereochemistry of these chiral dopants was studied using ¹H NMR. Trans derivatives seem to have a half-chair conformation with the 2, 5-diequatorial substituents and the cis derivatives have rather a flat conformation in solution. However in the liquid-crystalline phase, the cis and trans derivatives appear to change their conformation or the distribution of their conformations as the alkyl chain length is varied. The difference in the effect as a chiral dopant depends upon lateral interactions between chiral molecules through the solvent liquid crystal phase.     

Crystal Structure, Nano-particle Morphology and Interaction with ATP of [ NH3 CH2 CH（ NH2 ） CH3 ]2 [ M（ Ⅵ ） O2 （ OC6 H4 O）2 ] （M = Mo0. 6 W0. 4 ） and Its Activity to Promote DNA Cleavage

The title complex [NH_3CH_2CH(NH_2)CH_3]_2 [M(Ⅵ)O_2(OC_6H_4O)_2](M= Mo_(0.6)W_(0.4))was synthesized via a simple solution-phase chemical route.The determination of single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the title compound is crystallized in a monoclinic system with P2(1)/n space group,a=1.0913(10)nm,b=1.0442(10)nm,c=1.8842(19)nm,α=90°,β=96.530(17)°,γ=90°,Z=4,and V=2.133(4)nm3.The mononuclear anionic unit [M(Ⅵ)O2(OC6H4O)2]2-displays chiral pseudo-octahedral [MO_6] coordination geometry and is linked by chiral cations via hydrogen bond and π…π stacking interaction.The transmission electron microscopy images show that the title complex is comprised of nano-particles with diameters ranging from 20 to 50 nm.The NMR study shows the 1H downfield chemical shifts of [NH_3CHaHbCH(NH_2)CH_3] cations in the title complex when it is mixed with adenosine-triphosphate(ATP),and the chemical shift difference between Ha and Hb is increased greatly,and most of the catecholate ligands dissociate from the central metal atoms.The DNA cleavage activity experiment reveals that DNA cleavage promoted by the title complex is lower than that by Na_2MoO_4 which possesses antitumor pro-perty,but higher than that by Na_2WO_4.
