Abstract
The unsatisfactory effects of conventional bactericides and antimicrobial resistance have increased the challenges in managing plant diseases caused by bacterial pests. Here, we report the successful design and synthesis of benzofuran derivatives using benzofuran as the core skeleton and splicing the disulfide moieties commonly seen in natural substances with antibacterial properties. Most of our developed benzofurans displayed remarkable antibacterial activities to frequently encountered pathogens, including Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo), Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzicola (Xoc), and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri (Xac). With the assistance of the three-dimensional quantitative constitutive relationship (3D-QSAR) model, the optimal compound V40 was obtained, which has better in vitro antibacterial activity with EC50 values of 0.28, 0.56, and 10.43 μg/mL against Xoo, Xoc, and Xac, respectively, than those of positive control, TC (66.41, 78.49, and 120.36 μg/mL) and allicin (8.40, 28.22, and 88.04 μg/mL). Combining the results of proteomic analysis and enzyme activity assay allows the antibacterial mechanism of V40 to be preliminarily revealed, suggesting its potential as a versatile bactericide in combating bacterial pests in the future.

Abstract
A series of novel pyrido [1,2-α] pyrimidinone mesoionic derivatives bearing a propenylbenzene group at the 1-position were synthesized on the basis of the structure of mesoionic insecticides triflumezopyrim and dicloromezotiaz via a rationally conceived pharmacophore model and evaluated for their insecticidal activities against three insect vectors. The bioassay results showed that some compounds exerted remarkable insecticidal activities against M. domestica, Ae. albopictus, and B. germanica. Particularly, compound 26l displayed outstanding insecticidal activity against Ae. Albopictus, with an LC50 value of 0.45 μg/mL, far superior to that of imidacloprid (LC50 = 1.82 μg/mL) and equivalent to that of triflumezopyrim (0.35 μg/mL). Meanwhile, compound 34l presented a broad insecticidal spectrum, with LC50 values of 1.51 μg/g sugar, 0.52 μg/mL and 0.14 μg/adult, which were about 2.88, 3.50, and 1.50 times better than that of imidacloprid (LC50 = 4.35 μg/g sugar, 1.82 μg/mL and 0.21 μg/adult against M. domestica, Ae. albopictus, and B. germanica, respectively) and equivalent to that of triflumezopyrim against M. domestica (1.13 μg/g sugar) and Ae. albopictus (0.35 μg/mL) but lower than the potency against B. germanica (0.06 μg/g sugar). The molecular docking study by energy minimizations revealed that introducing propenylbenzene at the 1-position of compounds 26l and 34l could embed into the binding pocket of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and form pi-alkyl interaction with LEU306. These results demonstrated that compounds 26l and 34l could be promising candidates for vector control insecticides, which deserved further investigation.

Abstract
Irradiation of mixtures of title diazonium salts and heteroarenes with green light (510 nm) in the presence of eosin Y disodium salt (EY-Na2) as a photocatalyst furnished the corresponding arylation products in 8-63% yields. The proposed photocatalytic cycle is analogous to that proposed previously for closely related photoredox C-H arylations with aryl diazonium salts as aryl radical sources. This method has a broad substrate scope and represents a metal-free alternative for the synthesis of 3-heteroaryl-substituted 4H-quinolizin-4-ones and azino- and azolo-fused pyrimidones with a bridgehead nitrogen atom.
