Synthesis and insecticidal activity of -dihydroagarofuran ether analogues

摘要

BACKGROUND1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12-hepthydroxyl--dihydroagarofuran is the main skeleton of -dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpenoids, which exhibit excellent insecticidal activity. To study further the structure-activity relationship of -dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpenoids towards finding novel botanical pesticides, two series of new structurally modified ether analogues were designed and synthesised, and their insecticidal activities were evaluated.
