Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of O,O-Diethyl N-{4-Methyl-[1,2,3]thiadiazole-5-carbonyl}- 1-amino-1-substitutedbenzyl Phosphonates

Abstract

Abstract Target compounds 3 were synthesized by the condensation of O,O-diethyl α-amino substitutedbenzyl phosphonates 1 and 4-methyl-[1,2,3]thiadiazole-5-carboxylic acid 2 in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as a dehydration reagent. Their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data (IR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, MS) and elemental analysis. The results of a preliminary bioassay (in vitro) indicated that some of the title compounds 3 possessed moderate to good herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous plants (Brassica campestris L) at the concentration of 100 mg/L, and most of these compounds exhibited higher herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous plants (Brassica campestris L) than monocotyledonous plants (Echinochloa crus-galli).
