A series of γ-lactam analogs containing 1,3-benzodioxole moiety were designed, and these derivatives were synthesized from the lead compound of lactam via a structural diversity-oriented synthesis, their structures were confirmed by HNMR,CNMR, ESI-MS spectrum. Their antifungal activities were evaluated against four serious and typically crop-threatening agricultural fungi, including Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaria tenuis Nees, Gloeosporium theae-sinensis, and Fusarium graminearum. Some of these derivatives exhibited activity against Alternaria tenuis Nees higher than that of commercial fungicides carbendazim, such as compounds 7a, 7b, and 7i, compared with the blank control, some of these derivatives showed good antifungal activities against Gloeosporium theae-sinensis and Fusarium graminearum. The systematic study provides evidences for further structural modification and application of lactam analogues as antifungal agents for agriculture.

Seven-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles, particularly azepine-based compounds, represent an intriguing class of molecules with vast arrays of applications. These compounds have garnered considerable attention in synthetic and medicinal chemistry due to their non-planar, non-aromatic features, which offer structural flexibility and diversity to design new drugs with improved pharmacological properties. This review summarizes the recent advances in the synthesis of azepine derivatives, including eco-friendly methodologies that align with the principles of green chemistry, which emphasize atom economy, sustainability, and waste reduction.
