Compositional Analysis and Potent Insecticidal Activity of Supercritical CO Fluid Extracts of L. Leaves.

To mitigate potentially severe food shortages due to the exponential growth of the global population, it is of paramount importance to improve the yield and quality of globally harvested food crops. As pest control contributes to both these aspects, the development of safe and effective pesticides is one of the main strategies pursued in this direction in the context of agricultural chemistry. During our investigation of natural pesticides, a supercritical CO fluid extract of L.

Unusual formation of ()-11-(amino-methyl-ene)-8,9,10,11-tetra-hydro-pyrido[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[1,2-]azepin-5(7)-one and its crystal structure.

Selective C-formyl-ation of 8,9,10,11-tetra-hydro-pyrido[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[1,2-]-azepin-5(7)-one has been studied for the first time. It was revealed that formyl-ation proceeds by the formation of an inter-mediate salt, which due to the re-amination process on treatment with aqueous ammonia transformed into the corresponding ()-11-(amino-methyl-ene)-8,9,10,11-tetra-hydro-pyrido[2',3':4,5]-pyrimido[1,2-]azepin-5(7)-one, CHNO, as an -isomer. Formyl-ation was carried out by Vilsmeier-Haack reagent and the structure of the synthesized compound was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis, spectroscopic and LC-MS methods.

Crystal structure of (E)-9-(4-nitro-benzyl-idene)-8,9-di-hydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrrolo-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(7H)-one.

The title compound, C17H12N4O3, a pyrido-pyrrolo-pyrimidine derivative, is almost planar. The nitro-benzene ring is inclined to the mean plane of the 8,9-di-hydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrrolo-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(7H)-one moiety (r.m.
