“…Due to the excellent features of low toxicity, the fact that it is easily synthetized and derived, and considering pyrimidine as a parent compound, the development of promising agrochemical candidates will soon become a reality. Meanwhile, amine, a key moiety in heterocyclic chemistry, play a leading role in pesticide chemistry due to their potent bioactivities including antifungal ( Cheng et al, 2020 ; Chen et al, 2021a ), antibacterial ( Chen et al, 2021a ), antiviral ( Tang et al, 2020 ), herbicidal ( Sun et al, 2020 ), and insecticidal ( Chen et al, 2021b ; Li et al, 2021b ) activities. In our previous work, we reported a series of novel pyrimidine derivatives containing an amine moiety ( Figure 1 ) and found that the target compounds revealed certain antifungal, insecticidal, and antiviral activities ( Wu et al, 2016a : Wu et al, 2020 ).…”
