Preparation of Novel Hexythiazox Analogues
Abstract
Novel analogues of the title compound were prepared in several steps: via addition of methylmagnesium iodide to an acetamide derivative to yield diastereomeric amino alcohols, followed by hydrolysis, cyclization to the corresponding oxazole or thiazole derivative, and a coupling reaction with isocyanates. Results from acaricidal tests showed the compounds to be 100 times less active than hexythiazox. © 1997 SCI.
