In the present work, the regioselectivity for a series of Diels–Alder reactions (4 reactions) has beenstudied using hardness, electrophilicity and polarizability of products.Furthermore,thermodynamicand kinetic calculations have been done. In all results predicted pararegioisomer is more favorableregioisomerinthese investigated reactions.All calculations have been done at the DFT-B3LYP/6-31G(d)...

In greenhouse tests using potted grape plants three nematicides, aldicarb 10 G at 4.5 ai/ha, phenamiphos 15 G at 22 kg ai/ha, and oxamyl liquid at 4.5 kg ai/ha, were tested against Xiphinema index on 'Thompson Seedless' grape. Different timings for chemical treatments and X. index inoculations were used to determine some of the aspects of the mode of action. When nematodes and nematicides were ...
