Preparation of Amide-Containing Insecticidal Derivatives from the Renewable Natural Product β-Pinene

The preparation of bioactive derivatives from the renewable natural product pinene is a hot research topic in deep processing and utilization pinene. In this study, β-pinene was used to develop novel molecules as promising new precursor insecticide. A series amide-containing were synthesized characterized. insecticidal activities these against Mythimna separate Semiaphis heraclei tested. structure characterization results showed that data full agreement with their proposed structures. evaluation indicated exhibited weak activity separate, but moderate good heraclei. After testing for 72 h, corrected mortality compounds 5c, 5e, 5f, 5 5j, m 100% at 1000 mg/L. structure-activity relationship analysis introduction an amide group into improved Meanwhile, containing F NO2 substituted benzene ring might improve This study will be helpful high value-added resource development insecticides.
