Their structures were confirmed by ^1H NMR spectra, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The preliminary insecticidal activities of the new compounds were evaluated. The results of bioassays indicate that the title Compounds exhibit moderate insecticidal activities. Surprisingly, the insecticidal activity of compound 7b against bean aphids at 200 mg/kg is 100%, which is comoarable to that of the commercialized imidacloprid.展开更多

The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.4638(3), b = 12.6232(5), c = 15.2990(6), α = 71.907(1), β = 89.397(2), γ = 80.314(1)°, V = 1349.28(9)3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.340 g/cm3, μ = 0.286 mm-1, Mr = 544.43, F(000) = 572, S = 1.056, R = 0.0801 and wR = 0.2366 for 4998 unique reflections with 3012 observed ones (I 〉 2σ(I)). In the crystal, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and 4-Cl-phenyl rings is 58.13°. Intermolecular O-H···O, C-H···O and C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds involving water molecules stabilize the crystal structure.展开更多

In the pursuit of neonicotinoids with spiro hererocycles, three types of novel neonicotinoids with spirobenzofuranone, spirooxindole or spiroacenaphythylenone framework were designed and synthesized. Insecticidal evaluation showed that some of spirobenzofuranone containing neonicotinoids exhibited moderate activity against cowpea aphid, armyworm or brown planthopper.展开更多
