Reactions of Nitroxides, Part 17. Synthesis, Fungistatic and Bacteriostatic Activity of Novel Five- and Six-Membered Nitroxyl Selenoureas and Selenocarbamates

Morpholine Derivatives in Agrochemical Discovery and Development

Derivatives of morpholine are biologically active organic compounds with special structures discovered in multiple drugs. As a result of the terminal pharmacophore of action and extraordinary activity, they attracted fair attention with regard to pesticide innovation and development. Analysis of brief structure-activity relationships and the summarization of the characteristics of pesticides containing morpholine fragments with efficient activity are key steps in the development of novel pesticides. This review primarily overviews morpholine compounds with insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, antiviral, and plant growth regulation properties to provide educational insight for the creation of new morpholine-containing compounds.

One-Pot Four-Component Assembling for Selenoureas

An efficient and practical method for the straightforward construction of unsymmetrical selenoureas and cycloselenoureas via the combination of selenium powder, chloroform, and two different amines was comprehensively achieved in one-pot with only the assistance of a base under mild conditions. Thirty-three new structures of unsymmetrical selenoureas including three chiral examples and eight cycloselenoureas were achieved. 1,1-Dimethyl-3-phenylselenourea II, which shows good fungicidal activity, was practically synthesized through this protocol in gram-scale. Isoselenocyanate was further confirmed as a key intermediate by control experiment.
