Three bis(dithiocarbamate) derivatives of glycerol were obtained in
30−95% yields by reaction of a
dithiocarbamic acid salt with 1,3-dichloro-1,3-dideoxyglycerol.
The in vitro antifungal activity of
the new compounds was evaluated against Alternaria
brassicae, Pseudocercosporella
herpotrichoides,
Septoria nodorum, and Phytophtora cinnamomi.
Some of the compounds displayed greater activity
than commercial fungicides.
Bis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamoyl)-1,3-dideoxyglycerol
(4) was found to
maintain its pesticidal activity up to 24 days in open field tests
against A. brassicae.
Keywords: Fungicides; bis(1,3-dithiocarbamoyl)-1,3-dideoxyglycerol;

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
