AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers designed and synthesized new herbicidal compounds containing phenylpyridine and α-trifluorothioanisole derivatives, which were confirmed using NMR and HRMS.
- Among the tested compounds, 5a showed more than 85% effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of certain broadleaf weeds, outperforming the established herbicide fomesafen.
- The findings indicate that compound 5a has potential for further development as a candidate herbicide for controlling a variety of broadleaf weed species.
Article Abstract
To discover novel herbicidal compounds with favorable activity, a range of phenylpyridine-moiety-containing α-trifluorothioanisole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified via NMR and HRMS. Preliminary screening of greenhouse-based herbicidal activity revealed that compound 5a exhibited >85% inhibitory activity against broadleaf weeds Amaranthus retroflexus, Abutilon theophrasti, and Eclipta prostrate at 37.5 g a.i./hm2, which was slightly superior to that of fomesafen. The current study suggests that compound 5a could be further optimized as an herbicide candidate to control various broadleaf weeds.
