Antifeedant and mosquitocidal compounds from Delphinium x cultorum cv. Magic Fountains flowers

Six volatile compounds, ethylmethylbenzene (1), 1-isopentyl-2,4,5- trimethylbenzene (2), 2-(hex-3-ene-2-one)phenylmethyl ketone (3), E and Z isomers of 3-butylidene-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (4 and 5), and 2-penten-1- ylbenzoic acid (6), were isolated from the mosquitocidal hexane extract of Delphinium x cultorum cv. Magic Fountains flowers. In addition, the ethyl acetate extract, which displayed corn earworm antifeedant activity, yielded 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (7) and bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methanol (8). However, compounds 7 and 8 were not biologically active.

Reactivity of acetates in aqueous alcohols

A series of X,Y-substituted benzhydryl acetates (1-3) were subjected to solvolysis in various binary methanol/water and ethanol/water mixtures at 25 °C. The LFER equation log k = sf(Ef + Nf) was used to derive the nucleofu
