Pesticidal properties of quaternary ammonium salts based on chloromethylated diarylmetanes
dpisanenko@mail.ru

 

It is known that quaternary ammonium salts are the basis of a number of industrial pesticides used in agriculture [1]. However, the observed increase in resistance of microorganisms and fungi to these pesticides causes the synthesis and study of the pesticide properties of new salts of this series [2,3]. Practical interest can provide quaternary ammonium salts derived from available commercial reagents, which include diarylmetanes used as liquid dielectrics, heat transfer fluids and plasticizers [4,5]. In this regard, the purpose of this work was to study the synthesis and properties of the pesticide quaternary ammonium salt-based products such diarylmetanes chloromethylation.

As diarymetanes used mono-, di-and tribenzyltoluens isolated by fractionation of a commercial mixture and the products of benzylation benzyltoluens xylene, ethylbenzene, o-chlorotoluene and phenetoule, as determined using the GLC on the device "Biohrom-3700" (5% OV-17 on Chromosorb W, carrier gas - helium). Chloromethylation with control groups of CH2Cl-NMR Spectrometer (TESLA BS-487, internal standard HMDS) and quaternization was performed as previously described [6]. In this scheme, we have stated below were synthesized quaternary ammonium salts (1-10):

 

Pesticidal properties of the synthesized compounds (1-10) were studied by standard methods adopted for carrying out screening studies [7]. The experimental results are presented in Tables 1-2.

As can be seen from Table 1, compounds (1-10) exhibit a moderate activity against insects and spider mites, little effect on the black beet aphids. Only compound (3) and (6) show significant activity against rice weevil beetles (72 deaths and 97% respectively), compound (9) and (10) is sufficiently active against houseflies (84 deaths and 77% respectively).

Compounds (1-10) have a weakly pronounced fungicidal and bactericidal properties (Table 2). The maximum effect on smut (72% inhibition of development) has only the compound (10).

Herbicidal activity was studied in 11 test sites in the greenhouse under optimal lighting conditions, humidity and temperature. Compounds (1-10) at a dose corresponding to 5 kg / ha, applied in two ways: by spraying the soil after sowing of seeds and growing plants by spraying. Showed high herbicidal activity of the compound (6,9-10), they caused a complete loss of radish and 53-62% reduction in weight of buckwheat.

From the results it follows that among the synthesized quaternary ammonium salts (1-10) compounds are present, pesticide properties are of interest to develop new chemicals and to study the relation between structure and biological activity.
