This study concludes an extensive investigation of antifeedants for the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), an economically important pest of planted conifer seedlings. Building on the previously reported antifeedant effects of benzoates and phenylpropanoids (aromatic compounds with one- or three-carbon-atom substituents on the benzene ring), we here report the antifeedant effects of compounds with two-carbon-atom side chains (i.e., phenylacetates). We also present new results; the best antifeedants from the benzoate class were tested at 10-fold lower concentrations in order to find the optimal antifeedants. Generally, for all three compound classes, efficient antifeedants were found to have one or two methyl, chloro, or methoxy substituents on the aromatic ring. For monosubstituted phenylpropanoids, the substituent preferably should be in the para-position. In the search for synergistic antifeedant effects among the three compound classes, combinations of compounds from the three classes were tested in binary and ternary mixtures.

An enantioselective copper-catalyzed arylation of tertiary carbon-centered radicals, leading to quaternary all-carbon stereocenters, has been developed herein. The tertiary carbon-centered radicals, including both benzylic and nonbenzylic radicals, were produced by the addition of trifluoromethyl radical to α-substituted acrylamides, and subsequently captured by chiral aryl copper(II) species to give C-Ar bonds with excellent enantioselectivity. Importantly, an acylamidyl (CONHAr) group adjacent to the tertiary carbon radical is essential for the asymmetric radical coupling. The reaction itself features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility and mild conditions.
