Synthesis and herbicidal activities of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives as HPPD inhibitors

A series of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized as 4-hydoxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors. Preliminary bioassay results reveal that these derivatives are promising Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibitors, in particular compounds I12 (Ki = 0.011 μM) and I23 (Ki = 0.012 μM), which exhibit similar activities to that of mesotrione, a commercial HPPD herbicide (Ki = 0.013 μM). Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds show significant greenhouse herbicidal activities against tested weeds at dosages of 150 g ai/ha. In particular, II4 exhibited high herbicidal activity for pre-emergence treatment that was slightly better than that of mesotrione. In addition, compound II4 was safe for weed control in maize fields at a rate of 150 g ai/ha, and was identified as the most potent candidate for a novel HPPD inhibitor herbicide. The compounds described herein may provide useful guidance for the design of new HPPD inhibiting herbicides and their modification.

Aryloxyacetic esters structurally related to α-Asarone as potential antifungal agents

A series of aryloxyacetic ester analogues 8-13 was synthesized based on the potential pharmacophores of the antifungal agents α-Asarone (1) and 2-5. Their antifungal activity was tested in vitro for their growth inhibitory activities against pathogenic fungi. The in vitro antifungal evaluation of these alkyl and aryl esters shows that derivatives 10 displayed the highest antifungal and fungicidal activities against Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. These results support the idea that the phenoxyacetic frame is a potent pharmacophore for the design of potential antifungal drugs. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Mild and reliable cleavage sequence for phenoxy acetates

A novel combination of reliable transformations like ester saponification and subsequent Curtius-rearrangement employing mild reaction conditions, offers the first synthetically interesting strategy for the removal of methoxycarbonylmethyl groups from phenolic oxygens. This methodology gives also access to labile iodosubstituted phenols.
