C-O Coupling of Hydrazones with Diacetyliminoxyl Radical Leading to Azo Oxime Ethers-Novel Antifungal Agents.

Selective oxidative C-O coupling of hydrazones with diacetyliminoxyl is demonstrated, in which diacetyliminoxyl plays a dual role. It is an oxidant (hydrogen atom acceptor) and an O-partner for the oxidative coupling. The reaction is completed within 15-30 min at room temperature, is compatible with a broad scope of hydrazones, provides high yields in most cases, and requires no additives, which makes it robust and practical.

Synthesis and Evaluation on the Fungicidal Activity of S-Alkyl Substituted Thioglycolurils.

A series of S-alkyl substituted thioglycolurils was prepared through the alkylation of corresponding thioglycolurils with halogenoalkanes and tested for their fungicidal activity against six phytopathogenic fungi from different taxonomic classes: , , , , , and and two pathogenic yeasts: and . A number of S-alkyl substituted thioglycolurils exhibited high activity against and (85-100% mycelium growth inhibition), and moderate activity against other phytopathogens. S-Ethyl substituted thioglycolurils possessed a high activity against .
