A Convenient One-Pot Synthesis of 1,5-Disubstituted Tetrazoles Containing an Amino or a Carboxy Group

Abstract: A convenient method is proposed for constructing the tetrazole ring by a one-pot reaction of amides with phosphorus oxychloride and sodium azide. A series of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles containing an amino or a carboxy group, which present interest as buildings blocks for the synthesis of biologically active substances, were obtained.

Design and Synthesis of Novel 4-Hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one Derivatives for Use as Herbicides and Evaluation of Their Mode of Action

In order to develop a novel herbicide containing the β-triketone motif, a series of 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that compound II15 had good pre-emergent herbicidal activity even at a dosage of 187.5 g ha-1. Moreover, compound II15 showed a broader spectrum of weed control when compared with a commercial herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and displayed good crop safety to Triticum aestivum L. and Zea mays Linn. when applied at 375 g ha-1 under pre-emergence conditions, which indicated its great potential as a herbicide. More importantly, studying the molecular mode of action of compound II15 revealed that the novel triketone structure is a proherbicide of its corresponding phenoxyacetic acid auxin herbicide, which has a herbicidal mechanism similar to that of 2,4-D. The present work indicates that the 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one motif may be a potential lead structure for further development of novel auxin-type herbicides.

Esterquat herbicidal ionic liquids (HILs) with two different herbicides: Evaluation of activity and phytotoxicity

Herbicidal ionic liquids (HILs) constitute a new concept in crop protection products. Their main advantage is the potential to combine the efficiency of traditional herbicides with low vapour pressure and adjustable water solubility which leads to improved environmental safety in the agricultural sector. Among many strategies to obtain new HILs, esterquats seem to be well suited for modification since both the cation and anion may be constituents of herbicides. In the framework of this study 16 new esterquat HILs were synthetized based on standard herbicides: 2,4-D, MCPA, MCPP, 4-CPA, Clopyralid and Dicamba. Germination tests performed on agricultural soil using cornflower indicated the best two HILs. Furthermore, analysis of the toxicological effects of HILs on wheat plants revealed an additional advantage of the two selected HILs. The glutathione (GSH) content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity showed a lower oxidative stress level in wheat plants treated with examined HILs, respectively, in comparison to a mixture of reference compounds. Finally the Ames test was applied in order to analyse the mutagenic activity of the two selected HILs.
