Four series of novel 1,3-thiazin(thiazol)-4-one derivatives were synthesized by Suzuki coupling. Preliminary bioassays showed that most of the synthesized compounds exhibited good inhibitory activity in vivo against root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. at 20 mg L−1. Among the tested compounds, we found that two compounds displayed 46.4% and 41.4% inhibitory activity even at 1 mg L−1, respectively.
