Abstract
Long-chain molecules play a vital role in agricultural production and find extensive use as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. This review article specifically addresses the agricultural biological activities and applications of long-chain molecules. The utilization of long-chain molecules in the development of pesticides is an appealing avenue for designing novel pesticide compounds. By offering valuable insights, this article serves as a useful reference for the design of new long-chain molecules for pesticide applications.

Abstract
A heterocyclic replacement strategy has been applied attempting to further optimize the biological properties of the new insecticide tyclopyrazoflor, a pyridinyl-pyrazole compound with excellent activity against sap-feeding insects recently discovered by Corteva. Our research program on this novel chemical class of insecticide was targeted to evaluate the importance of both the pyridyl and pyrazole moieties on the biological activity, properties, and structure-activity. Synthetic methodologies have been developed delivering our designed target compounds in moderate to good yields. In our attempt to rationalize the biological activity differences of tyclopyrazoflor analogues, a potential surface analysis based on a density functional theory (DFT) calculation and DFT-derived Multiwfn and VMD program model was performed. Furthermore, the SwissBioisostere online database was applied as a great source for inspiration for bioisosteric replacements.

Abstract
![]()
The
first metal-free catalytic intermolecular enantioselective
Michael addition to unactivated α,β-unsaturated amides
is described. Consistently high enantiomeric excesses and yields were
obtained over a wide range of alkyl thiol pronucleophiles and electrophiles
under mild reaction conditions, enabled by a novel squaramide-based
bifunctional iminophosphorane catalyst. Low catalyst loadings (2.0
mol %) were achieved on a decagram scale, demonstrating the scalability
of the reaction. Computational analysis revealed the origin of the
high enantiofacial selectivity via analysis of relevant transition
structures and provided substantial support for specific noncovalent
activation of the carbonyl group of the α,β-unsaturated
amide by the catalyst.
