Abstract:A series of aryloxyacetic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized as HPPD inhibitors. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that these derivatives displayed promising Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibitory activity, such as compound I12 (K
i
= 0.011 µM) and compound I23 (K
i
= 0.012 µM), which were similar with commercial HPPD herbicide Mesotrione (K
i
= 0.013 µM). Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds showed significant greenhouse herbicidal activities against tested weeds at d… Show more
