1,3,4(2H)-isoquinolinetrione herbicides: Novel redox mediators of photosystem I
摘要:
AbstractA series of 1,3,4(2H)‐isoquinolinetriones have been found to be fast‐acting post‐emergence herbicides, producing symptoms of desiccation. These redox‐active compounds are very potent stimulators of the light‐dependent consumption of oxygen at photosystem I in isolated chloroplasts. Pulse radiolysis studies on 2‐ethyl‐1,3,4(2H)‐isoquinolinetrione have shown it to have free‐radical properties which could enhance the generation of superoxide radicals in plants. Electrochemical studies further support a redox mediator mode of action for the series. The compounds were found to be unstable towards hydrolysis, and this was considered to be a major factor limiting the overall herbicidal effects. Other parameters, related to uptake and/or translocation, which may limit the full expression of the herbicidal activity of certain compounds, are discussed.

methyl-2-(2-bromoacetyl)benzoate in reactions with primaryamines. An unexpected in situ air oxidation that follows a cascade process allowed the access to a series of isoquinoline-1,3,4(2H)-triones, a class of heterocyclic compounds of great interest containing an oxygen-rich heterocyclic scaffold.
