Three series of novel macrolactams and macrolactones - 12-alkoxyimino-tetradecanlactam, 12-alkoxyiminopentadecanlactam, and 12-alkoxyiminodecanlactone derivatives (7A, 7B, and 7C) - were synthesized from corresponding 12-oxomacrolactams and 12-oxomacrolactone. Their structures were confirmed by H-1 NMR and elemental analysis. The Z and E isomers of 7A and 7B were separated, and their configurations were determined by H-1 NMR. These compounds showed fair to excellent fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. It is interesting that the Z and E isomers of most of the compounds have quite different fungicidal activities. The fact that the compounds have a gradual increase of fungicidal activity in the order of 7A, 7C, and 7B indicated that the macrocyclic derivatives with a hydrogen-bonding acceptor (=N-O-) and a hydrogen-bonding donor (-CONH-) on the ring, and a three methylenes distance (CH2CH2CH2) between these two functional groups, exhibited the best fungicidal activity. The bioassay also showed that 7B not only has good fungicidal activity but also may have a broad spectrum of fungicidal activities.
