"The proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Advances in the Chemistry of Insect Control, organised by the the Royal Society of Chemistry Fine Chemicals and Medicinals Group and the Society of Chemical Industry Pesticides Group, which was held on 18-21 July 1993 at Queens' College, Cambridge, UK"--T.p.verso
Description and Table of Contents
Description
Advances in the Chemistry of Insect Control III discusses the chemical exploitation of new types of synthetic insect control agents and their biological activity, as well as the synthesis of biologically active natural products. It comprises entirely new material detailing advances made in the subject since the previous volume was published in 1990. The book covers a wide range of compound types with differing modes of action. Priority is given to the synthesis of insecticidal and acaricidal agents, where structure-activity relationships are discussed. Other structures which help to control insects, including pheromones, antifeedants, and proteinase inhibitors and kairomones produced by plants, are also covered. In addition, the book describes how biological observations and assays can lead to the isolation and synthesis of a wide variety of naturally-occurring signalling compounds. Advances in the Chemistry of Insect Control III provides a wealth of fascinating chemistry not documented elsewhere. It is essential reading for researchers from both industrial and academic groups involved in agricultural chemistry, organic synthesis, and environmental chemistry. Readers will find much of interest in this illuminating volume.
