A series of novel 4-[(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)methyl]-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phospha
bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-one
were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by IR,
1H NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The results of preliminary
bioassays show that some of the title compounds exhi
bit moderate to good her
bicidal and fungicidal activities. For example, the title compounds
,
,
,
,
, and
possess 90–100% inhi
bition against the growth of roots of both rape and barnyard grass at 10 mg/L. Moreover, the title compounds
,
, and
possess 75–89% inhi
bition against
Botrytis cinerea at the concentration of 50 mg/L.
