title: Semisynthesis and insecticidal activity of arylmethylamine derivatives of the neolignan honokiol against Mythimna separata Walker.
abstract: A series of novel arylmethylamine derivatives of honokiol (5a-m) was prepared. Their insecticidal activity was tested against the pre-third-instar larvae of the oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata Walker), a typical lepidopteran pest. Compounds 5a, 5b, 5e, 5h, and 5k exhibited insecticidal activity equal to, or higher than, that of the positive control toosendanin.
