Evaluation of Phytotoxic and Cytotoxic Effects of Prenylated Phenol Derivatives on Tomato Plants (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L.) and <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> B-05 Spores.

ABSTRACT: The phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold disease, has become a limiting factor on agricultural production. B. cinerea field control is made mainly using chemical fungicides, which has led to the spreading of resistant populations of this fungus. Thus, the quest of new fungicides molecules has been focused on synthesis of natural product-inspired compounds. The main aim of this work is to synthesize prenylated phenol derivatives and to assess their potential application as antifungal agents with minimal phytotoxic effects. Thus, new prenylphenols (4, 5, and 7) have been obtained by microwave irradiation with yields ranging from 2.4% to 42.9%, whereas compounds 8 and 9 were synthesized with yields of 25.6% and 54.1%,
