Design, Synthesis and Bioactivities of Novel Dichloro-Allyloxy-Phenol-Containing Pyrazole Oxime Derivatives
In this study, in order to find novel biologically active pyrazole oxime compounds, a number of dichloro-allyloxy-phenol-containing pyrazole oximes were designed and synthesized according to the method of active group combination. All of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. In addition, bioassays showed that all of the newly synthesized compounds had no acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and low insecticidal activity against Aphis craccivora at tested concentrations. However, most of them displayed excellent insecticidal activity against Oriental armyworm at a concentration of 500 μg/mL, and some designed compounds still exhibited potent insecticidal activity against Oriental armyworm even at the dose of 20 μg/mL, especially compounds 7f, 7n and 7p had 100%, 90% and 90% inhibition rates, respectively, which were comparable to that of the control pyridalyl.
Synthesis and bioassay evaluation of 1-(4-substitutedideneaminooxymethyl)-phenyl-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)ureas.
A variety of novel 1-(4-substitutedideneaminooxymethyl)-phenyl-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)ureas were designed and synthesized by the reaction of 4-substitutedideneaminooxymethyl aniline with 2,6-difluorobenzoyl isocyanates in good yields. The title compounds were soluble in most organic solvents, which should make them easier to use. The preliminary bioassay showed that some of the title compounds show excellent insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata at the dosage of 25 mg kg(-1) and moderate insecticidal activity against Nephotettix cincticeps at the dosage of 500 mg kg(-1). Toxicity assays indicated that these title compounds cause in M. separata and N. cincticeps such symptoms of toxicity as discolouration, and weight loss, and cessation of feeding and lethal. One title compound exhibited acaricidal activity against Tetranychus urticae.
Intensification of Bubble Disintegration and Dispersion by Mechanical Stirring in Gas Injection Refining
Water model experiments were performed for establishing highly efficient gas injection refining processes. Mechanical stirring was applied to disintegrate the injected bubbles and to disperse them widely in the bath. The bubble disintegration and dispersion were investigated by changing rotation mode (direction of rotation), rotation speed, blade size of the impeller and gas flow rate. Forward rotation of the impeller induced a stable tangential flow and could not disperse bubbles in the bath due to formation of a vortex around the impeller shaft. The tangential flow could be suppressed by forward–interrupt rotation, which could reduce the vortex formation to some degree. However, forward–interrupt rotation could not disperse the bubbles widely in the bath. Forward–reverse rotation could prevent the vortex formation completely and create a strong shear stress field, which intensified the bubble disintegration and dispersion in the bath. Higher impeller rotation speed and larger blade length in forward–reverse rotation could enhance the bubble disintegration and make the dispersed bubbles smaller. The bubble dispersion zone became wider with larger blade length. The bubble size tended to be larger at higher gas flow rates. However, its dependence on the gas flow rate became smaller at higher impeller rotation speed.
