A series of novel quaternary ammonium salt derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing the herbicide carboxylic acid into substituted aminoacetanilide compounds which derived from herbicides alachlor or acetochlor, using the intermediate derivatization methods in an attempt to obtain novel candidates for weed control. The herbicidal activity assays in greenhouse demonstrated that some of the title compounds exhibited good herbicidal activities against velvet leaf, youth-and-old age, barnyard grass, and foxtail. Especially, III9 gave the best activity (EC50 (g a.i/ha): YOA 34.1, VEL 33.6, FOX 15.9, BYG 36.2). The field trials indicated that III9 had better herbicidal activity than the commercial herbicide imazethapyr to control broadleaf weeds at 150 g a.i/ha. The present work demonstrated that the quaternary ammonium salt derivatives can be used as potential lead compounds for discovering novel herbicides with improved activity. III9 itself is worthy of being further developed as an herbicidal candidate. Further syntheses, structure optimization studies, and field trials around III9 are in progress.
