METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTROL OF GYPSY MOTHS, Lymanria dispar

The invention provides in part dialkoxybenzene and eugenol compounds for controlling infestation by a Lymantria dispar, and methods thereof. The compounds include a compound of Formula I: where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; R2 may be at positions 2, 3 or 4 and may be H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; and R3 may be optionally present at positions 2, 3 and 4, and is allyl; with the provisos that when R2 is at position 2, R3 if present is at position 3, or when R2 is at to position 3, R3 if present is at positions 2 or 4, or when R2 is at position 4, R3 if present is at position 2; or of Formula II: where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl (3-methylbutyl) or allyl; or mixtures thereof.

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTROL OF CABBAGE LOOPER, Trichoplusia ni

The invention provides in part dialkoxybenzene compounds for controlling infestation by a Trichoplusia ni, and methods thereof. The compounds include a compound of Formula I: where R1 may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl(3-methylbutyl) or allyl; R2 may be at positions 2, 3 or 4 and may be H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isopentyl(3-methylbutyl) or allyl; and R3 may be optionally present at positions 2, 3 and 4, and is allyl; except that when R2 is at position 2, R3 if present is at position 3, and when R2 is at position 3, R3 if present is at positions 2 or 4, and when R2 is at position 4, R3 if present is at position 2, and when R2 is at position 4 and R3, if present, has reacted with an OH group at position 1 in a Markovnikov sense, then R3 becomes R4, a dihydrofuran.

Dialkoxybenzene and dialkoxyallylbenzene feeding and oviposition deterrents against the cabbage looper, trichoplusia ni: Potential insect behavior control agents

The antifeedant, oviposition deterrent, and toxic effects of individual dialkoxybenzene compounds/sets and of hydroxy- or alkoxy-substituted allylbenzenes, obtained through Claisen rearrangement of substituted allyloxybenzenes, were assessed against the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, in laboratory bioassays. Most of the compounds/sets strongly deterred larval feeding, with some exhibiting mild toxic and oviposition deterrent effects as well. Some of the compounds/sets were more active than the commercial insect repellent, DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), as both feeding and oviposition deterrents against the cabbage looper. On the basis of the obtained oviposition data a general hypothesis was proposed regarding the oviposition sites: one binding mode with the alkyl and allyl groups on the same side of the benzene ring resulted in deterrence, the other with alkyl and allyl groups on opposite sides of the benzene ring resulted in stimulation. The results suggest some structure-activity relationships useful in improving the efficacy of the compounds and designing new, nontoxic insect control agents for agriculture.

Screening of dialkoxybenzenes and disubstituted cyclopentene derivatives against the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, for the discovery of new feeding and oviposition deterrents

The antifeedant, oviposition deterrent, and toxic effects of dialkoxybenzene minilibraries and of disubstituted cyclopentene minilibraries (i.e., consisting of four to five compounds) along with their pure constituent compounds were assessed against third instar larvae and adults of the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, in laboratory bioassays in a search for new insect control agents. These compounds mimic naturally occurring bioactive odorants and tastants and are relatively easily prepared from commodity chemicals. Most of these libraries strongly deterred larval feeding, with some exhibiting strong toxic and oviposition deterrent effects as well. Our results suggest some structure-function relationships within these libraries. Replacement of a methyl group with larger alkyl substituents increased the feeding deterrent effects in most cases. The presence of a free hydroxyl group, irrespective of the carbon framework or alkyl substituent, served to reduce feeding deterrent effects in all series of compounds. Further, exceeding a certain group size also generally had a detrimental effect. This information will be useful in designing new insect control agents for agriculture. Some of these libraries and compounds may have potential for development as commercial insecticides.
