Synthesis, Characterization, and Agricultural Biological Activities of 5-Fluoro-2-hydroxy Butyrophenone

الملخص EN

A novel synthetic approach towards 5-fluoro-2-hydroxy butyrophenone is reported.

Using 4-fluorophenol as a raw material, the processes of etherification protection, Friedel-Crafts acylation and demethylation provide the target compound under mild conditions.

The structure was characterized by the melting point and IR, MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.

The bioassay results indicate that the target compound exhibits potent antifungal activities against Valsa mali, Coniella dipodiella, and other agricultural plant fungi.

The target compound also shows potent herbicidal activities for Lactuca sativa, a dicotyledon, and Echinochloa crus-galli, a monocotyledon.

The toxicity regression C50 values of the compound against Valsa mali, Coniothyrium diplodiella, Lactuca sativa seedling, and Echinochloa crusgalli seedling were calculated by SPSS.

The Hormesis effect for roots of Echinochloa crusgalli was confirmed.
