Abstract

Several series of 45 acetophenone derivatives bearing various alkyl or benzyl substituents were conveniently synthesized and their structures characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Their in vitro antifungal activities against a panel of phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated by mycelial growth rate assay. Of them, 12 derivatives (eg, 3a–c, 4c and 4e) exhibited more potent antifungal effects on ...
