Insecticidal Oxazolines

1,1'‐Bis(oxazolin‐2‐yl)ferrocenes: An Investigation of Their Complexation Behavior toward [Pd(η3‐allyl)Cl]2

“…Their uses vary widely from organic [6][7][8] and coordination chemistry, [9,10] via polymer chemistry, [11][12][13] to antiacaricide as well as antiinsecticidic purposes. [14] Oxazolines are used in a manifold variety of catalytic processes, for example hydrosilylation, [15] transfer hydrogenation, [16] allylic substitution, [17] allylic oxidation, [18] aziridination of olefins, [19] aziridination of imines, [20] cyclopropanation, [21][22][23] and the Diels-Alder reaction. [24] Furthermore, it should be noted that there is a great interest in oxazolines as they possess interesting properties in asymmetric synthesis when coordinated to transition metals.…”

Amidines Derived from Pt(IV)-Mediated Nitrile−Amino Alcohol Coupling and Their Zn(II)-Catalyzed Conversion into Oxazolines

“…Oxazolines (or 4,5-dihydrooxazoles) constitute one of the most intensely studied classes of heterocycles, a fact confirmed by the 150 or so references which result when Chemical Abstracts is searched (from 1964 up until the end of 2002) for the combination “oxazoline and review”. These naturally occurring (e.g., microbial metal chelators such as vibriobactin, parabactin, fluvibactin, and agrobactin) or synthetic − compounds have a broad application in both organic 5-10 and coordination chemistries as useful synthons (for preparation of more complex fragments) and in polymer chemistry (in step-growth and ring-opening polymerizations, as amphiphilic block copolymers for micellar catalysis, and as reactive modifiers in the compatibilization of polymer blends), and they also have intrinsic practical applications as insecticides and acaricides . However, the basic idea that drives the overwhelming majority of the recent achievements in the chemistry of these heterocycles is that chiral oxazolines, bis(oxazolines), and oxazoline-based metal complexes can be employed as highly efficient inducers of asymmetry in many kinds of organic reactions.…”

Design, Synthesis, Fungicidal Activity, and Unexpected Docking Model of the First Chiral Boscalid Analogues Containing Oxazolines

“…8 DuPont explored the SARs and evaluated the potential of 2,4-diaryloxazolines as insecticides and acaricides. 9 The Syngenta group showed novel oxazoline subgroups with a chiral indanyl core as insecticides. 10 Recently, Wang's group documented many elegant works on this kind of bioactive agrochemical as acaricidal/insecticidal ingredients 11 (Figure 2).…”

“…Since the development of commercially available oxazoline insecticide etoxazole, many etoxazole annalogues with an oxazoline unit were patented with acaricidal/insecticidal activities . DuPont explored the SARs and evaluated the potential of 2,4-diaryloxazolines as insecticides and acaricides . The Syngenta group showed novel oxazoline subgroups with a chiral indanyl core as insecticides .…”
