... Agricultural spray nozzles are small yet key components for delivering agrochemicals to the target surface. Their complexity demands specific assessment to guarantee the spray quality. The traditional equipment measures spray characteristics accurately; however, it can be time-consuming and invasive. An emerging method for agricultural assessments is image processing. Therefore, our goal was to de ...

Abstract:
... Nanostructured manganese oxides (nano-MnOₓ) have shown great promises as versatile agrochemicals in nano-enabled sustainable agriculture, owing to the coupled benefits of controlled release of dissolved Mn²⁺, an essential nutrient needed by plants, and oxidative destruction of environmental organic pollutants. Here, we show that three δ-MnO₂ nanomaterials consisting of nanosheet-assembled flower-l ...
... The field performance of a newly developed novel smart variable-rate sprayer was evaluated. The sprayer uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for target detection and spot-applications of agrochemicals within potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) fields attacked by lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album L.) and corn spurry (Spergula arvensis L.) weeds and the early blight potato disease caused by Alternar ...
... Polyfluoroarene moieties are of interest in medicinal chemistry, agrochemicals, and material sciences. Herein, we present the first polyfluoroarylation of unactivated alkyl halides via a halogen atom transfer process. This method converts primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides into the respective polyfluoroaryl compounds in good yields in the presence of amide, carbamate, ester, aromatic, ...
... gem-Difluoroalkenes (=CF₂), which normally act as metabolically stable bioisosteres for carbonyl groups (C═O), are widely applied in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals and are also used as building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, an example of Cu/Pd-catalyzed borodifluorovinylation was achieved using alkynes, difluoroethylene bromide, and B₂pin₂ as chemical feedstocks, providing the correspond ...
... This contribution analyses a consultation table instituted in Argentina at the national level, in which actors from different levels of government and areas of concern participated, along with technicians and researchers specialized in the problems of periurban areas affected by the use of agrochemicals linked to an intensive model of agricultural production. It examines the main points in common ...

Abstract:
... Fluorine-based agrochemicals have been benchmarked as the golden standard in pesticide development, prompting their widespread use in agriculture. As a result, fluorinated pesticides can now be found in the environment, entailing serious ecological implications due to their harmfulness and persistence. Microbial degradation might be an option to mitigate these impacts, though environmental microor ...

... Trifluoroethylthio group (SCH₂CF₃) is a key functionality in several pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds, the methods for the installation of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethylthio group are sought after. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed trifluoroethylthiolation reaction of S-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) benzenesulfonothioates and phenylboronic acids at room temperature. The reaction achieved the insert ...

Abstract:
... The development of sustainable C(sp³)–H functionalization methods is of great interest to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Anodic oxidation is an efficient means of producing benzylic cations that can undergo subsequent in situ nucleophilic attack to afford functionalized benzylic products. Herein, we demonstrate the suitability of carboxylic acids as nucleophiles to yield benzylic ...

Abstract:
... Agrochemicals, which are crucial to meet the world food qualitative and quantitative demand, are compounds used to kill pests (insects, fungi, rodents, or unwanted plants). Regrettably, there are some important issues associated with their widespread and extensive use (e.g., contamination, bioaccumulation, and development of pest resistance); thus, a reduced and more controlled use of agrochemical ...

Abstract:
... Atropoisomeric (hetero)biaryls are scaffolds with increasing importance in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Although it is the most obvious disconnection to construct such compounds, the direct enantioselective C–H arylation through the concomitant induction of the chiral information remains extremely challenging and uncommon. Herein, the unprecedented earth-abundant 3d-metal-cataly ...

Abstract:
... Natural products (NPs) have long been an important source of, and inspiration for, developing novel compounds to control weeds, pathogens and insect pests. In this review, we use a dataset of 800 historic, current and emerging crop protection compounds to explore the influence of NPs on the introduction of new crop protection compounds (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides) as a function of time. ...

Abstract:
... Fluorinated α-amino acids are important building blocks for pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, as well as in protein NMR and material science. We optimized a synthetic route to generate 5-fluoro-l-isoleucine (1) and 5,5-difluoro-l-isoleucine (2) from l-alanine by leveraging two consecutive C(sp3)-H bond functionalization reactions and developed a new oxidation protocol to facilitate direc ...

... Thiazoles belong to the group of azole heterocycles. They are aromatic five-membered heterocycles containing one sulfur and one nitrogen atom. In recent years thiazoles, their derivatives, and isomers have gained considerable attention because of their broad applications in different fields, such as agrochemicals, industrial, and photographic sensitizers. Also, they have pharmaceutical and biologi ...
