Palladium-catalyzed allylation of tautomerizable heterocycles with alkynes.

A method for the allylic amidation of tautomerizable heterocycles was developed by a palladium catalyzed allylation reaction with 100% atom economy. A series of structurally diverse N-allylic substituted heterocycles can be synthesized in good yields with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities under mild conditions.

[Molluscicidal effect comparison between TDS and MNSC in field].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the molluscicidal effects between "Luo-wei" (TDS), a plant molluscicide in 4 percent, and metaldehyde and niclosamide (MNSC) in the field. METHODS: A natural ecological environment with Oncomelania hupensis was selected as the test area, the test concentrations of TDS and MNSC were 2.5 g/m3 and 2 ml/m3 respectively by the immersion method; the test doses of TDS and MNSC were 3 g/m2 and 2 ml/m2 respectively by the spray method; the doses of WPN in a control group were 2 g/m3 and 2 g/m2 respectively by the two methods above-mentioned. The molluscicidal effects between TDS and MNSC were compared by using the synchronous design method and parallel comparative method. RESULTS: In the TDS group, the death rate of snails was 90.70% by immersion for 24 hours, reached to 81.40% after spraying for 7 days, and there were no significant differences among the observation time points in molluscicidal effects (P > 0.05). One day after the spraying, the death rate of snails was less in the TDS group compared with that in the MSCN group (P < 0.01), but the death rates of snails were similar in both groups 3 days after the spraying (P > 0.05). In the MSCN group, the death rate of snails was 99.17% by immersion for 24 hours, reached to 66.07% by spraying for 1 day. In the WPS group, the death rate of snails was 97.15% by immersion for 24 hours, reached to 71.43% after spraying for 1 day, and there were no significant differences (both P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: TDS has a good molluscicidal activity and stable efficacy, and the molluscicidal effect of TDS is similar to that of MSCN in the filed, but the molluscicidal sensitivity of TDS is lower than that of MSCN.
