Synthesis and herbicidal activity of O,O-dialkyl phenoxyacetoxyalkylphosphonates containing fluorine

A series of substituted phenoxyacetoxyalkylphosphonates bearing fluorine were designed and synthesized. All the new compounds were identified by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and MS and were tested for herbicidal activity in greenhouse at a rate of 1.5 kg/ha. The results of preliminary bioassay showed that fluorine moiety introduced to the core structure could help to improve the herbicidal activity, and compounds with a 3-trifluoromethyl in benzene ring exhibited higher inhibitory activity.

Abstract

A series of [(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)(substituted phenyl)methyl](methyl)phos- phinates containing fluorine were designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were identified by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectrometry. O-methyl [(2-fluorophenoxyacetoxy)(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl](methyl)phosphinate was further analyzed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Their herbicidal activity against a set of weed species was examined. Some of the compounds showed potential herbicidal activity, which provided some indications for further studies on structure modification.

2-氰基-3-甲硫基-3-取代甲氨基丙烯酸酯类化合物的合成及其除草活性

A series of 2-cyano-3-methylthio-3-substituted methylaminoacrylates were synthesized as herbicidal inhibitors of photosystem Ⅱ （PSⅡ） electron transport, in order to estimate the effect of fluorine atom, pyridyl group, chirality and ester chain on activity. The important intermediate 2-fluoro-5-aminomethylpyridine was synthesized with high yield. The bioassay results showed that most of rifle compounds had high herbicidal activity in postemergence treatment. The introduction of an a-methyl into the 3-substituted methylamino could improve the activity notably. The replacement of hydrogen by chlorine or fluorine group and phenyl by pyridyl group showed different effects, and at the same time, the ester chain affected the activity too.

Synthesis,antibacterial activity and docking studies of substituted quinolone thiosemicarbazones

Abstract

Fifteen 2-quinolone thiosemicarbazone derivatives of which eleven were new, were synthesized at room temperature. The key intermediate was the quinolone carbaldehyde, from which thiosemicarbazones were formed by the reaction of thiosemicarbazides with the aldehyde moiety. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The synthesized compounds showed antibacterial activity with MBCs in the range 0.80 to 36.49?mM against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus Rosenbach (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The best activity was seen when a larger halogen such as chlorine and bromine were substituted at C-6 on the quinolone scaffold and when a planar phenyl group was present on the thiosemicarbazone moiety. Activity was reduced when a smaller fluorine atom was present at C-6 or when a methyl group was attached to the thiosemicarbazone. This group of compounds showed a high negative binding affinity, which suggested promising antimcrobial activity. The 6-chloro derivative with a phenyl group on the thiosemicarbazone had the greatest negative binding affinity.

A series of α‐hydroxy phosphonate derivatives containing pyrimidine moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The results of preliminary herbicidal activities (in vitro) showed that some of the title compounds 2 exhibited moderate herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous weeds (Brassica campestris L), and most of compounds 2 showed better activity against dicotyledonous weeds than monocotyledonous weeds (Echinochloa crus‐galli). Further bioassays (in vivo) indicated that some of the title compounds 2 possessed good and selective herbicidal activity against amaranth pigweed (A. retroflexus) in both pre‐ and post‐emergence treatments at the dose of 1.5 kg/ha. For exmple, compounds 2a , 2b and 2e exhibited 100% inhibition against A. retroflexus in pre‐emergence treatment, and 91.7%, 98.8% and 99.5% inhibition in post‐emergence treatment at the dose of 1.5 kg/ha, respectively.

Herbicidal Activity of Phosphonic,Phosphinic and Phosphinous Acid Analogues of Aromatic Amino Acids

Abstract

Over 40 phosphonic, phosphinic and phosphinous acid analogues of phenylglycine and phenylalanine were synthesized and screened for their herbicidal activity on Lepidium sativum (crest) and Cucumis sativus (cucumber). The most active appeared to be 2-amino-1-hydroxy-3-phenylpropylphosphonic acid which was equipotent with popular herbicide glyphosate. Also aminobenzylphosphonic acids, analogues of phenylglycine, exhibited notable herbicidal activity and thus represent a group of the most active herbicides found among simple aminophosphonic acids. Other compounds showed moderate herbicidal activity. Preliminary results indicate that analogues of aromatic amino acids display their activity as effectors of biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
