New syntheses of dillapiol [4,5-dimethoxy-6-(2-propenyl)-1,3-benzodioxole], its 4-methylthio and other analogs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Three syntheses of the natural synergist dillapiol from the natural, commercially available sesamol as starting material, are described. A major difference between these is the order of introduction of the additional methoxy and allyl substituents. In one of the syntheses, a formyl group is introduced at C4 via an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and then converted into the methoxy group using a Baeyer-Villiger reaction and subsequent methylation; in the other two, a directed ortho-metalation, Baeyer-Villiger, methylation sequence was employed. Various intermediates along the synthetic route were used to generate more than 30 analogs, including the 4-thiomethyldillapiol, to investigate the structure activity relationships of the pesticide synergism of these compounds. Radio-labeled dillapiol, bearing 14 C at the C4 methoxy group was also prepared. Initial screening with mosquito larvae showed that most of the derivatives prepared in this study had signifacant synergistic activities in combination with the phototoxic larvicide α-therthiophene.Key words: dillapiol, insecticide synergists, dillapiol analogs, 4-methylthiodillapiol.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
