cell death by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In this study, the hydroxyls at positions C10 (10-OH) and C1 (1-OH) of GNP were hypothesized to be the active groups that cause these inhibitory effects. Four GNP derivatives in which the hydroxyl at position C10 or C1 was replaced with other chemical groups were synthesized and isolated. Differences in the inhibitory effects of GNP and its

activity. The series of genipin glycosyl derivatives also displayed fungicidal activities against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi, especially for Rhizoctonia cerealis and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Moreover, compound 6h exhibited good insecticidal activity against diamondback moth; compounds 7b, 7c, and 7g exhibited moderate insecticidal activity against three kinds of Lepidoptera pests (oriental armyworm
The 1R-alkoxygenipins exhibit significantly enhanced bioactivity in comparison to their S-isomers; however, the challenge lies in the selective synthesis of these compounds. A streamlined and highly effective approach to achieve stereoselective 1R-alkyloxygenipins involved the use of a carefully balanced mixture of Lewis acid catalytic reagents, specifically BF·EtO and HO. This method emerged as the
