In order to find novel biologically active pesticide lead compounds, twenty-one novel 3-[(5-benzylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]benzo[d]thiazol(oxazol)-2(3H)-ones were synthesized by 2-benzothiazolinone/benzoxazolone as starting materials via substitution, hydrazine, cyclization and the last benzylation reaction. The structures of the title compounds were characterized by 1 H NMR, IR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that most of them showed moderate inhibition activity against Colletotrichum orbiculare, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani at 50 mg/L, and the inhibition rate of compound 5b against Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani reached above 85%.
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.
