Natural products-based pesticides: Design, synthesis and pesticidal activities of novel fraxinellone derivatives containing N -phenylpyrazole moiety

Fraxinellone, a degraded limonoid, has been mainly isolated from some renewable plants in Meliaceae and Rutaceae. In a continuous effort to discover new natural products-based pesticides, two series of fraxinellone derivatives containing N-phenylpyrazole moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their pesticidal activities against Mythimna separata Walker and Plutella xylostella Linnaeus. Two structures of compounds 7g and 8k were...
