Abstract:BackgroundPreviously, the herbicidal activity of N‐benzyl‐2‐methoxybenzamides was discovered during a random screening program in our laboratory. The chemicals resulted in bleaching effect of newly grown leaves by interfering with the biosynthesis of β‐carotene in plant.ResultsA total of 28 benzamides were synthesized and subjected for the evaluation of herbicidal activity. Structure‐activity relationship (SAR) showed that introducing propargyloxy group at 5‐position of benzoyl‐benzene ring and fluorine or met… Show more
