Design, Synthesis, and Insecticidal Activities of New N-Benzoyl-N′-phenyl-N′-sulfenylureas

A series of new N′-alkylaminothio, N′-arylaminothio (or dithio), and N′,N′-thio (or dithio) derivatives of N-benzoyl-N′-phenylureas were designed and synthesized as insect-growth regulators with sulfur dichloride or disulfur dichloride as the original reactant. The new compounds were identified by 1H nuclear magnetic resonancee (NMR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis [or high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)], and single-crystal X-ray...
