Abstract:

2-(4-Aryloxyphenoxy) propionamide derivatives were identified as one of the most important herbicides, which inhibited acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) to restrict fatty acid. Recent years, 2-(4-aryloxyphenoxy) propionamide derivative have developed resistance in varying degrees among weeds. Therefore, resear-ching novel 2-(4-aryloxyphenoxy) propionamide derivatives herbicide is of great importance. Seventeen of 2-(4-aryloxyphenoxy) propionamide derivatives were synthesized by multistep synthetic procedures with two key intermediates 2 and 9, starting from(R)-(+)2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanoic acid and benzofuranol. The intermediate 9 was synthesized from o-phthalic anhydride and 2-aminoethanol via substitution reaction, bromination, etherification and amination. The synthetic reaction condition of intermediates 9 was discussed. The structures of target compounds 4 and 5 were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and optical rotation. The bioassay results indicated that most of title compounds possessed a moderate herbicidal activity against crabgrass and barnyard grass at 1500 g/hm2. The compounds 4a, 4b, 4i, 5e and 5h showed more than 96% activities against the crabgrass and barnyard grass at 375 g/hm2.
