Photoinduced Iron-Catalyzed ipso-Nitration of Aryl Halides via Single-Electron Transfer

A photoinduced iron-catalyzed ipso-nitration of aryl halides with KNO2 has been developed, in which aryl iodides, bromides, and some of aryl chlorides are feasible. The mechanism investigations show that the in situ formed iron complex by FeSO4, KNO2, and 1,10-phenanthroline acts as the light-harvesting photocatalyst with a longer lifetime of the excited state, and the reaction undergoes a photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) process. This work represents an example for the photoinduced iron-catalyzed Ullmann-type couplings.

Cyhalofop-containing pesticide composition and application thereof

The invention discloses a pesticide composition containing cyhalofop-butyl and application thereof, belongs to the technical field of pesticide preparation and comprises 10 - 20 parts of cyhalofop-butyl. Tetramethyl chloride 3-5 parts, synergistic microcapsule 8-13 parts, wetting agent 1.5 - 4.5 parts, dispersing agent 1-3 parts, defoaming agent 0.5 - 1.5 parts and water 40 - 50 parts. When the water in the soil is less, the weed is absorbed by the chitosan so as to accelerate the absorption of A the synergic microcapsule and the cyhalofop-butyl ester, so that the pesticide composition is greatly reduced per mu.
