Functionalized Pyridines: Synthesis and Toxicity Evaluation of Potential Insecticidal Agents against Aphis craccivora.

ABSTRACT: Using ultrasound technology instead of traditional methods, some pyridine derivatives were prepared by a simple procedure via a four-component reaction of different aromatic aldehydes, acetyl aryl, sodium alkoxide, and malononitrile, and additionally, all prepared compounds were monitored for insecticidal activities toward nymphs and adults of cowpea aphid. Though a lot of insecticides are discovered as a novelty on the other hand, neonicotinoid compounds are reflected as the most affected insecticides against aphids and many other pests. Thus, some of the pyridine derivatives were chemically prepared as analogues to a large group of insecticides called neonicotinoids. Under laboratory conditions, the toxicity of these components was measured toward adults and nymphs of Aphis craccivora
