SYNTHESIS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF A MIDES AND UREAS WITH PINANEDERIVATIVES

(+)-alpha-Pinene (1), (-)-beta-pinene (2) and (-)-l-verbenone (3) were converted to primary and/or secondary amines (4, 5 and 6) by hydrobor ation, swern oxidation, oximation (N,N-dimethylhydrazonation, methylat ion and elimination reaction) or reduction with LiAlH4. These amine de rivetives were condensed with six kinds of chloride to obtain urea com pounds 4a-4e, 5a-5e and 6a-6e and amide compounds 4f, 5f, 6f. Eighteen terpene derivatives obtained mere tested for growth regulating activi ty toward plants and insecticidal activity toward Tyrophagus putescent iae (T. putescentiae) and Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae). On fi lter paper, compounds 4a-4f and 6a-6f from 1 and 3 showed greater inse cticidal activity of 69-100% at the concentration of 1.0 g/m(2) agains t. Toward D. farinae the activity of these compounds was higher than t hat oi N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). D. farinae was almost eradicate d at the concentration of 0.5 g/m(2) for compounds 4a, 4b, 6a and 6b.
