Abstract

Abstract The strobilurins and oudemansins are natural β‐methoxyacrylates which inhibit mitochondrial respiration and, as a result, have fungicidal activity. A knowledge of the structures (configuration and conformation) and properties of these compounds has allowed the preparation of analogues in which both fungicidal activity and stability have been improved.
