Asymmetric syntheses and bio-evaluation of novel chiral esters derived from substituted tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol
A series of novel chiral esters derived from tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol were designed and prepared via asymmetric synthesis. The target molecules have been identified on the basis of analytical spectra data. All newly synthesized compounds have been screened their potential insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella compared with those of fenvalerate and d-trans-phenothrin by standard method, and the respective pairs of enantiomers (3-B1-R/S, 3-C1-R/S, 3-D1-R/S) indicated significantly different activities.
