Ma. Dekeyser et al., SYNTHESIS AND MITICIDAL AND INSECTICIDAL ACTIVITIES OF BIPHENYLHYDRAZINECARBOXYLATES, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 42(6), 1994, pp. 1358-1360
Ten biphenylhydrazinecarboxylates were obtained by the condensation of
o-biphenylhydrazine with alkyl chloroformates. The miticidal and inse
cticidal activities of the new compounds were evaluated against Tetran
ychus urticae and Sogatodes orizicola. Structure-activity relationship
s for the screened compounds are discussed. Some of the compounds disp
layed greater activity than did the commercial standards, propargite a
nd carbofuran.
