A homologous series of N-(3-methylbutyl)amides of normal saturated C 14, C15, C16, C17 and C18 fatty acids were identified as major components of glandular trichome extracts from Medicago sativa G98A, an alfalfa genotype resistant to the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae. A second homologous series of N-(2-methylpropyl) amides of C14 through C18 normal fatty acids were minor components. Saturated free fatty acids C12, C13, C 14, C15, C16, C17 and C18 were present in trace amounts, as was the N-(3-methylbutyl)amide of linoleic acid (C18:2). N-(3-methylbutyl)amides and N-(2-methylpropyl)amides of C14 through C18 fatty acids, along with the N-(3-methylbutyl)amide of linoleic acid, were synthesized and bioassayed for leafhopper deterrence by applying the compounds to the surface of a sachet containing an artificial diet. Leafhoppers were then offered a two-way choice between diet surfaces treated with the synthetic amides or an untreated control. N-(3-methylbutyl)amides and N-(2-methylpropyl)amides of C14 through C18 fatty acids did not deter leafhopper settling in a dose-dependent fashion. In contrast, when tested singly, N-(3-methylbutyl)amide of linoleic acid exhibited dose-dependent deterrence against leafhopper settling. Fatty acid amides localized in alfalfa glandular trichomes likely contribute to leafhopper resistance.

A functional heterocycle, 3-acyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione has been shown to be effective as an acylating reagent for the amino group.ATT (1) was readily prepared by several methods, and reacted with various amino compounds in CHCl3, CH2Cl2, THF, EtOH, THF-H2O, or sulfolane to afford the corresponding amides, 2a-w and 3-10 in very high yields within a short time.This reagent exhibits high chemo-selectivity.Its reaction with the diamines 13 and 15 and the triamine 29, which include a primary amino group(s) and a secondary amino group, gave the products acylated only at the primary amino group(s), 14, 16, and 30, respectively, in high yields.Aminoalcohols and aminophenols were chemoselectively converted into acylaminoalcohols and acylaminophenols, respectively, by ATT (1).By utilizing this method, several amide alkaloids (26, 28, 30, and 34) were efficiently synthesized.This new aminolysis can be monitored by the disappearance of the yellow color of the starting materials, ATT (1); it is remarkably characteristic of this reaction.
