Preparation of N-substituted aryl and alkyl carbamates and their inhibitory effect on oat seed germination

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2002 Feb;66(2):422-5. doi: 10.1271/bbb.66.422.

Abstract

A series of N-substituted aryl and alkyl carbamates (RNHCOOR'; R: aryl, alkyl; R': aryl, alkyl) was prepared and screened for inhibitory activity toward the germination of oat seeds. The activity of each compound was compared with that of chlorpropham (isopropyl 3-chlorocarbanilate). Some of the synthetic carbamates possessing the N-(phenylthio)methyl group, PhSCH2NHCOOR', showed inhibitory activity close or comparable to that of chlorpropham.
