Abstract: | A series of 2-substituted-8-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)-4-methylphthalazin-1-one derivatives, 7a-7w, were designed via an ortho-substituent cyclization strategy to discover a new herbicidal lead structure. These compounds were synthesized by a seven-step route using 3-hydroxy-acetophenone as a starting material. Determination of the Ki values against wild-type A. thaliana acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) (EC 4.1.3.18) indicated that some of the compounds displayed good enzyme inhibition activity comparable to that of KIH-6127. The further preliminary bioassay data on weeds showed that the synthesized compounds exhibited typical injury symptoms of AHAS-inhibiting herbicides, and some of them showed broad-spectrum and high herbicidal activities in postemergence treatments against Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis, Setaria viridis, Brassica juncea, Amaranthus retroflexus, and Chenopodium album at an application rate of 150 g ai/ha. To our knowledge, this is the first report of methylphthalazin-1-one derivatives as AHAS inhibitors. |
