Synthesis and Activity of Novel Fungicide 2-(4-Bromophenyl carbamoyl)phenyl Acetate

Abstract

In the present study, 2-(4-bromophenyl carbamoyl)phenyl acetate was synthesized by the ammonolysis of 2-(chloro carbonyl)phenyl acetate. Its structure was confirmed by IR and ¹H NMR. Its antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea has been determined in the laboratory. The results showed that it had good antifungal activity against the two different pathogenic fungi of plants. Its median effective concentrations (EC₅₀) reached 8.6 mg L^-1 and 1.8 mg L^-1, respectively.
