5-Benzofuryl-2-[1-(alkoxyimine) alkyl]-3-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one 유도체중에서 2,3-dihydro-2,3,4,6,7-penta-methylbenzofuran-5-yl 그룹이 치완된 화합물(III)들의 벼(직파 및 3엽기)와 강피(Echinochloa crus-galli)에 대한 제초활성을 측정하고 alkoxy-치환체($OR_2$)가 변화함에 따른 구조와 제초활성과의 관계(SAR)를 정량적으로 검토한 결과, 직파벼와 강피 사이의 선택성 조건은 $R_1$=ethyl-이고 $R_2$-기는 비 대칭성의 적정값$(L/B_1)_{opt.}=3.96{AA}$에 가까운 값을 갖는 치환체 이어야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 Free-Wilson 분석에 따르면 $R_2$-기는 $C_1{sim}C_3$의 주로 불포화된 것들 중에서 특히, 3-chloro-2-propenyl기가 강피에 대한 제초활성을 가장 크게 나타내었다.
A new 2,3-dihydro-2,3,4,6,7-pentamethylbenzofuran-5-yl substituents in 5-benzofuryl-2-[1-(alkoxyimine) alkyl]-3-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones were found to have herbicidal activity against rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) under submerged conditions. The structure activity. relationships (SARs) on the herbicidal activity of $R_1;and;R_2$ on the azomethine bond of 2,3-dihydro-2,3,4,6,7-pentamethylbenzofuran-5-yl subsituents were analysized. The conditions of the selective herbicide activity between rice plant (seed) and barnyard grass from the basis on the analysized SARs are assumed that the $R_2$ group of ethyl substituent ($R_1$ ) should have optimal asymmetry parameter, $(L/B_1)_{opt.}=3.96{AA}$. And also, the $R_2$ groups consist of $C_1{sim}C_3$ and unsaturated group such as 3-chloro-2-propenyl group was contribution to the herbicide activity.
