Abstract

Abstract Ethyl cinnamate has been isolated from the bark of Pinus contorta in the search for antifeedants for the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis. Based on this lead compound, a number of structurally related compounds were synthesized and tested. The usability of the Topliss scheme, a flow diagram previously used in numerous structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies, was evaluated in an attempt to find the most potent antifeedants. The scheme was ...
