P-Arylation in water has been developed via cross-coupling of aryl halides with diphenylphosphine oxide (Ph(2)P(O)H) and (R(P))-(-)-menthyl benzylphosphinate catalyzed by NiCl(2)·6H(2)O/Zn under relatively mild conditions.
The combination of 1,3-dichloropropene + dimethyl disulfide (1,3-D + DMDS), which forms a pre-plant soil fumigant, can provide a substitute for the environmentally unfriendly methyl bromide (MB). Three greenhouse trials were performed to evaluate the root-knot nematode and soilborne fungi control efficacy in the suburbs of Beijing of China in 2010-2014. Randomized blocks with three replicates were designed in each trial. The combination 1,3-D + DMDS (10 + 30 g m −2) significantly controlled Meloidogyne incognita, effectively suppressed the infestation of Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora spp., and successfully provided high commercial fruit yields (equal to MB but higher than 1,3-D or DMDS). The fumigant soil treatments were significantly better than the untreated controls. These results indicate that 1,3-D + DMDS soil treatments can be applied by soil injection or chemigation as a promising MB alternative against soilborne pests in cucumber in China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
