Background: Fungicides play a significant role in the integrated management of plant pathogens. However, the irrational application of fungicides with similar structures has led to development of cross-resistance, therefore there is a need to seek novel fungicides with new structures.
Results: Twenty-eight novel sulfoximine derivatives incorporating nitroguanidine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antifungal agents. The bioassay results indicated that most of the synthesized compounds displayed excellent fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, and Pyricularia grisea. Among these, compounds 6c , 6c , and 6c exhibited remarkable fungicidal activities against P. grisea, with EC values of 1.28, 1.17, and 1.68 μg mL , respectively. In addition, compound 6c displayed the most potent activity against S. sclerotiorum (EC = 3.64 μg mL ). Further in vivo fungicidal activity screening against S. sclerotiorum demonstrated that the protective and curative effects of compound 6c were 98.1% and 91.3% at 25 μg mL , respectively, comparable to that of boscalid (94.4%, 89.6%). The preliminary mechanism study found that the hyphae of S. sclerotiorum treated with compound 6c was abnormal with mycelial collapse and membrane permeability increase. The present findings can help to develop new fungicides for crop protection.
Conclusion: Novel sulfoximine derivatives containing nitroguanidine possess potential antifungal activity, and the unique structure may offer an alternative option for fungicide development in the future. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Reported herein is a concise synthesis of sulfoximidoyl amidines enabled by a Pd-catalyzed cascade aza-Claisen rearrangement and nucleophilic reaction at room temperature. Free -sulfoximines and -allylynamides were employed as the modular building blocks to produce the expected sulfoximine amidine derivatives in highly chemoselective models and in 100% atom efficiency. A broad range of functional groups were well tolerated under these gentle reaction conditions to give the desired products in generally good to excellent yields.

Four-membered heterocycles such as oxetanes and azetidines represent attractive and emergent design options in medicinal chemistry due to their small and polar nature and potential to significantly impact the physiochemical properties of drug molecules. The challenging preparation of these derivatives, especially in a divergent manner, has severely limited their combination with other medicinally and biologically important groups. Consequently, there is a substantial demand for mild and effective synthetic strategies to access new oxetane and azetidine derivatives and molecular scaffolds.

Due to population growth and climate changes, there is a rising need for alternative food and protein sources to reduce protein scarcity and the environmental impact of food industries. Single-cell proteins (SCPs) have the potential to partially or fully substitute plant- and animal-derived dietary proteins. is an appealing bacterium for SCP production because of its fast growth and ability to obtain high protein and essential amino acid (AA) content in its biomass.

Pollinators are exposed to multiple pesticides during their lifetime. Various pesticides are used in agriculture and thus not all mixtures have been tested against each other and little is known about them. In this article, we investigate the impact of sulfoxaflor, a novel sulfoximine insecticide, and azoxystrobin, a widely used strobilurin fungicide, on bumble bee Bombus terrestris worker survival and physiological functions.

A Pd/norbornene-mediated three-component modular one-step reaction facilitated by dual C-H bond activation and cascade cyclization is reported. This procedure uses norbornene as a catalyst in the Catellani-type reaction and as an alkylating building block to accomplish the dual unactivated C-H bond functionalization protocol, which results in the production of polyheterocyclic eight-membered sulfoximines with an indene-fused moiety. This mild, scalable protocol's wide substrate range makes it ideal for site-selective dual C-H functionalization at the highly chemoselective aryl sites.
