2, 5Diphenyl-44-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-one synthesized and their insecticidal activit were examined. These compounds exhibited disruption of larval molting and ovicidal actions, similar to the function of benzoylphenylurea insecticides. Substituent effect the benzene ring on the insecticidal activity similar to that of benzoylphenylureas. The introduction of fluorine atom the aniline moiety markedly enhanced the activity. The potency of the insecticidal activities 1, 2, 4-thiadiazolin-3-ones against the larvae of Pseudaletia separata Spodoptera litura were almost the same as benzoylphenylureas, but their ovicidal activity against S, was lower than that of benzoylphenylureas. 2, 5-Diphenyl-44-1, 2, 4-oxadiazolin-3-ones also synthesized, and their insecticidal activity decreased compared with of 44-1, 2, 4-thiadiazolin-3-ones. Metabolism of a 44-1, 2, 4thiadiazolin-3-one derivative investigated by feeding the compound to S. litura and a benzoylphenylurea derivative detected as a metabolite in the homogenized insect one day after the feeding. This result suggest that 44-1, 2, 4-thiadiazolin-3-ones were partly metabolized into benzoylphenylureas in insect body and consequently exhibited the insecticidal activity. * Synthesis and Biological Activity of 1, 2, 4-Thiadiazolines (Part 3).
