Description

An aldehyde insect pheromone derivative, its preparation method and uses Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insect pheromone pesticides, specifically to an aldehyde insect pheromone derivative, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Pheromones are a collective term for compounds that play a role in chemical communication between organisms. They are compounds used by insects to express various information such as gathering, foraging, mating, and alarm. In other words, they are the chemical molecular language of insect communication. Common pheromones include: altruistic pheromones, egoistic pheromones, synergistic pheromones, aggregation pheromones, tracking pheromones, alarm pheromones, dispersal pheromones, and sex pheromones.

[0003] In recent years, the overuse of pesticides has posed a serious threat to the environment, agricultural product safety, and human health. The increasing resistance of pests to pesticides has also presented new challenges to their control. With the improvement of people's environmental and ecological awareness, new pest control technologies that use sex pheromones to interfere with mating, such as sex mating techniques, to reduce the reproduction rate of pest populations and control pest damage are receiving more and more attention.

[0004] Insect sex pheromones are compounds that regulate the attraction behavior of male and female insects. They are both sensitive and specific, with a long range of action and strong attraction. Sex pheromones are biomimetic high-tech products that mimic natural insect sex pheromones and are released into the field through a releaser to lure and kill pests of the opposite sex. This technology kills pests without contacting plants or agricultural products, eliminating concerns about pesticide residues, and is one of the preferred methods for ecological pest control in modern agriculture.

[0005] Typically, insect sex pheromones used for pest monitoring and control are processed into slow-release formulations using physical methods. The carrier materials are often synthetic materials such as rubber, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride. These carriers are not easily degraded in the environment, easily becoming agricultural waste and causing farmland pollution. In recent years, researchers have also developed chemical methods to process insect sex pheromones. However, products obtained through chemical processing generally require light exposure for pheromone release, limiting their application.

[0006] For aldehyde insect pheromones (such as cis-9-hexadecenal, cis-11-hexadecenal, etc.), their stability is generally poor, they evaporate quickly and are prone to deterioration. Physical processing alone is difficult to significantly improve their stability. Existing chemical methods mainly achieve slow release through light, and the light source is mostly ultraviolet light, which has high requirements for the application environment. Moreover, aldehyde pheromones are not stable under ultraviolet light, so the application of pheromones is also quite limited.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a chemical-based processing method for aldehyde insect pheromones that is simple to process and has low application requirements, in order to improve their stability and expand their application range. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, one object of the present invention is to provide an aldehyde insect pheromone derivative that improves the stability of aldehyde insect pheromones through chemical reactions. Under certain conditions, the derivative can achieve the slow release and controlled release of aldehyde insect pheromones, and therefore has great potential as an insect trapping and control product.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing, using and releasing the aldehyde insect pheromone derivative.

[0010] The first aspect of the present invention provides an aldehyde insect pheromone derivative, which uses a compound containing at least one primary amine group as a carrier, with which the aldehyde insect pheromone forms an imine derivative or its stereoisomer with the structure shown in formula (I).

[0011] Wherein, R represents the compound containing at least one primary amino group with x primary amino group residues removed;

[0012] a represents an integer from 1 to 20 (for example, it can be any integer from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20);

[0013] b represents an integer from 0 to 20 (for example, it can be any integer from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20);

[0014] c represents an integer from 0 to 2 (for example, it can be any integer of 0, 1 or 2);

[0015] d represents an integer from 0 to 20 (for example, it can be any integer from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20);

[0016] x represents an integer that is at least 1.

[0017] Unlike common physical processing methods, the aldehyde insect pheromone derivatives provided by this invention use a compound containing at least one primary amine group as a carrier. The primary amine group reacts chemically with the aldehyde group in the insect pheromone to generate an imine substance, thereby linking the aldehyde insect pheromone to the carrier. This significantly improves its stability. Depending on the number of primary amine groups participating in the reaction, one or more pheromones can be linked to the carrier, forming a novel "keychain"-like structure. The imine derivatives can undergo controlled, slow hydrolysis under certain conditions (e.g., in air or water), thereby enabling the sustained and controlled release of insect pheromones. The reaction route is shown below:

[0018] The aldehyde insect pheromone derivatives provided by this invention can use any primary amine compound commonly found in the chemical field as a carrier material. Preferably, these are substances that are easily degradable under natural conditions, have low pollution, and are inexpensive and readily available. They can be small molecules or large molecules such as polymers, peptides, and proteins. For example, the carrier materials that can be used in this invention include, but are not limited to, amino acids, peptides, hydrazides, acylhydrazides, anilines, hydroxylamines, hydrazones, and other carrier materials.

[0024] b1 represents an integer from 0 to 20 (for example, it can be any integer from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20);

[0235] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the imine derivatives provided by the present invention improve the stability of aldehyde pheromones by reacting them with carriers containing primary amine groups, such as amino acid esters, polypeptide esters, aryl amines, hydrazines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazones, through chemical methods, thus preventing their volatilization and deterioration. The resulting imine derivatives can be slowly released in air or water, and therefore have great potential as sustained-release formulations of insect pheromones. Compared with conventional physical methods, the imine derivative carriers provided by the present invention have a wide range of sources and high selectivity, thus being more economical. Some carriers are also more environmentally friendly because they are easily degraded after releasing pheromones.

[0236] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this invention have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0237] The embodiments described in this invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make various other substitutions, changes and improvements within the scope of this invention. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but is only defined by the claims.
