title: 4-Sulfenyl-2-carbamoyl-4-isoxazolin-3-ones: biological isostere to 4-chloro-2-carbamoyl-4-isoxazolin-3-ones.
abstract: 4-Sulfenyl-2-carbamoyl-4-isoxazolin-3-ones (4) were designed on the basis of biological isosterism and prepared in four steps. Some of these compounds showed sufficient pre-emergent herbicidal activities against various kinds of weeds. Among the synthesized compounds, 2-(N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-isopropylcarbamoyl)-4-ethylthio-5-methyl-4 -isoxazolin-3-one (4cd) exhibited the most promising activity.
