Crystal Structure of Ethoxyethyl 3-(2-Chloro-5-pyridyl methylamino)-2-cyano-4-methylpent-2-enoate

1 INTRODUCTION The nature and topography of the herbicide binding site in the reaction center of photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ) have been the subject of intense interest for many years. Among several commercially important herbicides with different structures such as atrazine and polypeptide of the PSII reaction center[1], the cyanoacrylates with general structure 1 have proved hightly potent and useful as probes[2, 3] of the receptor because their activities as inhibitors of photosynthetic ele…
