Twelve strawberry varieties established in matted row plots in 1993 were treated with insecticides for tarnished plant bug and strawberry bud weevil or left untreated during 1994. Honeoye and Cavendish had the highest yields of marketable fruit. Oka, Jewel, Chambly, and Kent also had relatively high yields. Lateglow, Blomidon, Seneca, NY 1424, Settler, and Governor Simcoe had lower yields than the other varieties. Tarnished plant bug populations were very small during the 1994 season and the injury levels observed were relatively low. Feeding pressure on the plants may have been too low for all differences in susceptibility between varieties to be expressed. Governor Simcoe, Cavendish, and Oka had the lowest injury levels. Kent, Lateglow, and Seneca had the highest levels of injury. Insecticide sprays significantly reduced injury for all varieties except Cavendish and Governor Simcoe. The number of flower buds killed by strawberry bud weevil differed very little between varieties and spray treatments. No obvious differences in susceptibility to this injury were observed in this trial.

Twelve strawberry cultivars established in matted row plots in 1993 were treated with insecticides for tarnished plant bug or left untreated for the 1994, 1995, and 1996 seasons. `Honeoye', `Cavendish', and `Oka' had the highest yields of marketable fruit. `Jewel', `Chambly', and `Kent' had lower, but acceptable, yields. `Lateglow', `Blomidon', `Seneca, NY1424', `Settler', and `Governor Simcoe' had lower yields than other varieties. Tarnished plant bug populations were very low during the 1994 and 1996 seasons, and thus feeding pressure may have been too low for any differences in susceptibility between varieties to be expressed. In 1995, when tarnished plant bug feeding pressure was greatest, `Oka', `Cavendish', and `Honeoye' had the lowest injury levels. `Kent' and `Lateglow' had the highest levels of injury. Insecticide sprays significantly reduced the percent of injured fruit for most cultivars, but did not significantly increase the weight of marketable fruit harvested. This is due to injury being most prevalent on lower order, and thus smaller, fruit. Cultivars that produced high yields, had low injury levels, and had the least difference between sprayed and unsprayed treatments are most likely to have resistance to tarnished plant bug injury. `Oka', `Cavendish', and `Honeoye' were the most promising cultivars in this regard.

Rowcovers applied to strawberries have documented value for increased earliness and yield. The effect of rowcovers on insect damage to strawberries was investigated in this study. Nonwoven rowcovers were applied over strawberries in the fall with and without malathion to determine their effect on tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) and strawberry bud weevil (Anthomonus signatus) injury over two harvest seasons. Rowcovers increased the “umber and weight of marketable fruit. Tarnished plant bug injury was reduced by the use of rowcovers in 1990, regardless of insecticide application. I” 1991, rowcovers reduced tarnished plant bug injury only when a fall insecticide was applied. Rowcovers increased the number of flower buds killed by the strawberry bud weevil where no insecticide was used in 1990, but had no significant effect on the number of buds killed in 1991. The effect of rowcovers on insect injury to strawberries appears to depend upon the overwintering habits of the insects, and the prevailing weather patterns during a given season.

Sulfonates are well-known substances with a variety of applications, e.g. as surfactants. On the other hand, bis(sulfonates) bearing hydroxyl or keto group(s) in between the sulfonate groups can be used with or without further modification as starting materials for the preparation of new type of molecules capable to form either complexes or in general supramolecular structures. The synthesis of three hydroxyl-bearing bis(sulfonates), 2-hydroxypropane-1,3-bis(sodium sulfonate) 4, DL-2,3-dihydroxybutane-1,4-bis(sodium sulfonate) 8, and sodium 2,3,4-trihydroxy-1-sulfonate 7 (as by-product) via the Strecker sulfonation are described. Interestingly, under similar conditions, sulfonation of 1,4-dibromo-2,3-butanedione 9 was found to be very complicated and no pure product could be isolated, despite previously reported results on sulfonation of α-halogenated ketones in high yields. There are indications that SO3 2 -  attacks at the carbonyl carbon of 9 followed by rearrangement and expulsion of SO4 2 - . 1,4-dibromo-2,3-butanedione 9, bearing two keto groups next to methylene groups, can potentially exist as enols or in the case of its solution in hydroxylic solvents in the form of hemiketals or geminal diols. This behavior of 9 when is dissolved in CDCl3, CD3OD and D2O was studied by means of UV-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR and the nature of the adducts formed was elucidated.

A fast and convenient protocol for the synthesis of novel spiro[dihydropyridine-oxindole] derivatives in satisfactory yields was developed by the three-component reactions of arylamine, isatin and cyclopentane-1,3-dione in acetic acid at room temperature. On the other hand the condensation of isatin with two equivalents of cyclopentane-1,3-dione gave 3,3-bis(2-hydroxy-5-oxo-cyclopent-1-enyl)oxindole in high yields. The reaction mechanism and substrate scope of this novel reaction is briefly discussed.

New synthetic methods for spirolactams bearing an α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone or its analogous methylene-lactam have been developed. The allylation of γ-phenylthio-functionalized γ-lactams with 2-(acetoxy)methyl acrylamides was accomplished by using 2.5 equivalents of NaH to give the corresponding adducts in excellent yields. The remaining phenylthio group was substituted with a hydroxy group by treatment with CuBr, and the resulting γ-hydroxyamides were cyclized under acidic conditions to afford the corresponding methylene-lactam-fused spirolactams in high yields. On the other hand, methylene-lactone-fused spirolactams could be delivered from the allyl adducts in high yields through a sequential N-Boc protection/desulfinative lactonization.

Abstract The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton in many areas of the southern United States. An experiment was conducted at two locations in Mississippi during 2016 and 2017 to evaluate action thresholds for tarnished plant bug on a novel Bacillus thuringiensis cotton that expresses the Cry51Aa2.834_16 toxin. Treatments included the current action threshold, a 2× threshold, and treatments where insecticides were only applied during the early season (preflower) or only during late season (during flowering) based on the current action thresholds. These were compared to an untreated control and a weekly insecticide use regime that received weekly insecticide sprays. All treatments were imposed on both Bt Cry1Aa2.834_16 cotton and a nontraited cotton. The Bt Cry1Aa2.834_16 trait reduced the number of tarnished plant bugs and injury, and improved yields compared to nontraited cotton. For all spray treatments except the weekly insecticide use regime, yields were greater for the Bt Cry51Aa2.834_16 cotton than the nontraited cotton. In terms of thresholds, Bt Cry1Aa2.834_16 cotton sprayed based on current action thresholds resulted in similar yields to the weekly insecticide use regime of both cotton types. In contrast, the 2× threshold resulted in lower yields than the current threshold for both cotton types. Though thresholds intermediate to the currently recommended action threshold and the 2× threshold were not tested, these data suggest that currently recommended action thresholds appear appropriate for Bt Cry51Aa2.834_16 cotton. These results suggest that this trait will be an important component of current IPM programs in cotton where tarnished plant bug is an important pest.

To discover the reactions undergone in plants by organophosphorus compounds of the type used as insecticides the non-ionizable metabolites of several compounds were studied. Octamethylpyrophosphoramide (schradan) is degraded in four species of plants. Low yields of heptamethylpyrophosphoramide and a powerful anticholinesterase are obtained besides ionizable compounds. Oxidation of schradan with hydrogen peroxide and with oxygenated liver slices gives the same products in similar proportions. Thus plants probably degrade schradan by oxidation, producing mainly compounds unstable in water, which are hydrolyzed to substituted phosphoric acids. The powerful anticholinesterase is believed to be hydroxymethyl-heptamethylpyrophosphoramide from its chloroform/water partition coefficient and its yield in plants. It may, however, be octamethylpyrophosphoramidic oxide. Turnip plants also degrade the dimethylamide, monomethylamide, n -butylamide, iso propylamide and ethyl ester of tetramethylphosphorodiamidic acid. As these compounds contain no acidic group which can be removed by hydrolysis after oxidation, high yields of compounds extractable from water by chloroform are obtained. None of the parent compounds are hydrolyzed, nor are butyl or wopropyl groups removed in one step. Probably the dimethylamide is demethylated to the monomethylamide in a way similar to schradan. The physical properties of the degradation products of the other compounds indicate that only the dimethylamido groups are attacked, the other groups being inert. OO -diethyl O -ethylthioethyl phosphorothionate is converted in plants to at least three compounds extractable by chloroform. Their structures are unknown. OO -diethyl S -ethylthioethyl phosphorothiolate is oxidized rapidly in plants to OO -diethyl S -ethylsulphinylethyl phosphorothiolate and another compound of unknown structure, both of which are more stable in plants than the parent compound. The same products are formed by the action of hydrogen peroxide on the parent compound. Thus a number of organophosphorus compounds are degraded by oxidation in plants. There is no evidence that their hydrolysis is catalyzed.

Based on systematic investigation of mononitroimidazoles, selective polarographic and spectrophotometric methods for determination of nitrazole compounds in reaction mixture are proposed. It was proved that the selectivity is based on the different properties of the nitro group due to the effects of the nitro group position in the ring, the type and position of the other substituents and on the fact whether the compound is N-substituted or not. The proposed methods can be successfully used for monitoring the synthetic procedures and decreasing the number of experiments for optimization. Based on the anticipated and proved behaviour of the nitro compounds of pyrazole, novel mononitropyrazole derivatives were synthetized in a new way and with high yields. Applying the polarographic method it was discovered that during N-substitution of tautomeric mononitroimidazole and mononitropyrazole substrates other byproducts were obtained besides the main products and undesired isomers. The products were identified and then a correct and more complete N-substitution scheme could be given. Following quantitatively these N-substitution processes conclusions which directly concern the mechanism of reactions were drawn.

The combination of 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with the strong Lewis acid, B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 , generates a stable pyridinium borohydride species in high yields (94%) in as little as 10 min. This use of biologically inspired hydride sources further builds on the recent work of new hydride donors in the formation of borohydrides. When functionalizing the dihydropyridine with an amide or carboxylic acid moiety, a disproportionation reaction composed of a series of protonation/reduction steps is observed upon the addition of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 . As a result, one equivalent of dihydropyridine undergoes net hydrogenation, whereas the other is dehydrogenated yielding the pyridinium counterpart in a transfer hydrogenation-type mechanism. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry’.
