Gf. Yang et al., Development of pesticides based on phytoalexins. Part 1: Design and synthesis of flavanone analogues via bioisosterism substitution, CHIN J CHEM, 19(4), 2001, pp. 423-428
In order to search for novel fungicides with high activity, a series of 2-h
eteroaryl-4-chromanones were designed and synthesized via bioisosterism sub
stitution. The structures of all new compounds were confirmed by spectrosco
pic methods and microanalyses. Preliminary bioassays indicated that some co
mpounds showed fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxy
sporum, Physalospora piricola and Cercospora beticola.
