Synthesis and Insecticidal Activity of Dehydroabietyl-1,2,4-triazole Schiff Base Derivatives
Two Series dehydroabietyl-1,2,4-triazole Schiff base derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the modification of the carboxyl group of dehydroabietic acid.All target compounds were verified by FT-IR,1H NMR,13 C NMR and LC-MS.The insecticidal activities of these compounds against Culex asiatica and Mythimna separate were evaluated through insect soaking method and leaf soaking method,respectively.The results showed that the modified dehydroabietyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives had good insecticidal effects.Among them,compounds 3g,3i,3j,4b and 4c had a relatively good killing effect on C.asiatica within 48 hours(the corrected mortality rate all exceeded 90%),which was basically equivalent to the positive control dinotefuran(96.67%).The analysis of the active site of the target compounds by quantum chemical calculations showed that there was a certain relationship between insecticidal activity and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)and molecular electrostatic potential(ESP)of the target compound.Particularly,the compounds containing electron withdrawing groups(F,Cl,and Br)exhibited better insecticidal activity.
