Fall armyworm () is a major migratory pest around the entire world that causes severe damage to agriculture. We designed and synthesized a series of novel isoxazoline derivatives based on the previously discovered active compound to find new and effective candidates against . Most of them showed excellent insecticidal activity. In addition, a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship model was established, and compound was designed and synthesized based on the results. The bioassay result showed that compound exhibited excellent activity against (LC = 3.46 mg/L), which was substantially better than that of the positive control fipronil (LC = 78.8 mg/L). Furthermore, an insect γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indicated that can upregulate the content of GABA in insects in a manner similar to that of fipronil. Molecular docking showed that the hydrophobic effect and hydrogen-bond interactions are vital factors between the binding of and receptors. All of these results suggest that compound could be employed as a novel isoxazoline lead compound to control .

A novel and highly efficient Pd-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of bis-heterocycles featuring both isoxazoline and methyleneindole motifs is demonstrated. The in situ formation of vinyl Pd(II) species through an alkyne-tethered carbamoyl chloride cyclization is crucial, and the innovative Pd-catalyzed carboetherification of β,γ-unsaturated oximes with vinyl Pd(II) species has been developed. This method is not only operationally straightforward but also exhibits a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance.

Stereoselective alkene 1,2-difunctionalization is a privileged strategy to access three-dimensional C(sp)-rich chiral molecules from readily available "flat" carbon feedstocks. State-of-the-art approaches exploit chiral transition metal-catalysts to enable high levels of regio- and stereocontrol. However, this is often achieved at the expense of a limited alkene scope and reduced generality.

Background: Isoxazolines inhibit γ-aminobutyric acid chloride channels in insects and acarids by binding to postsynaptic receptors. This prevents chloride influx, leading to depolarization/hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death. Here, we evaluated the potential utility of a novel isoxazoline, isocycloseram, against several urban insect pests.

Two novel series of quinazolinone based isoxazole and isoxazoline hybrid compounds were synthesized from 6-aminoquinazolinone as a key precursor. The title compounds were achieved in synthetic routes via propargylation and allylation reactions of the precursor followed by cyclization with various chloroximes. The new compounds 4a-g and 6a-g were screened for their antimicrobial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria, two Gram-negative bacteria and two fungi by employing Ampicillin and Itraconazole as standard reference.

Recently, research and development of novel pesticides from natural plant products have received much attention. To accelerate the application of sophocarpine as the agrochemical candidate, a series of novel sophocarpine-based isoxazoline derivatives were prepared by the 1,3-dipolar [2 + 3] cycloaddition reaction of sophocarpine with different chloroximes. Their structures were well characterized by high-resolution mass spectra, infrared spectra, and proton/carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.
