Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel pyrethrin derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and thioether moieties as active insecticidal agents
To discover and develop novel active molecules, in this study, a series of novel pyrethrin derivativescontaining 1,3,4-oxadiazole and thioether moieties were designed and synthesized. Bioassay results revealed that some of the target compounds possessed good insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella), Vegetable aphids (V. aphids), and Empoasca vitis (E. vitis), respectively
