Sedaxane, Isopyrazam and Solatenol™: Novel Broad-spectrum Fungicides Inhibiting Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDH) - Synthesis Challenges and Biological Aspects.

Sedaxane (SDX) 1, isopyrazam (IZM) 2 and Solatenol™ (STL) 3 are broad-spectrum pyrazole carboxamides, which originate from novel chemical classes of fungicides. Their mode of action (MoA) is inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), which was recognized for a long time to deliver only compounds with a narrow biological spectrum. This view changed with the market introduction of BASF's boscalid in 2003.

New ventures in the chemistry of avermectins.

An overview is given on recent work towards new avermectin derivatives of extremely high insecticidal and acaricidal activity. These compounds were prepared from commercially available abamectin (avermectin B1) 1. For the synthesis, many novel entries have been opened up, making use of modern synthetic methods and applying them, for the first time, to the chemistry of avermectins.
