Dicationic ionic liquids as new feeding deterrents.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this study, new quaternary bis(ammonium) salts with alkyl-1,X-bis(dimethyldecylammonium) cation and saccharinate, acesulfamate, lactate and pyroglutamate anions were synthesized and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Thermal gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry analyses confirmed that all salts were thermally stable and the majority of them exhibited melting points below 100 °C. The physicochemical properties (viscosity, density, refractive index values, and solubility) of the obtained salts were determined for three compounds with lactate anions. All the tested salts have suitable properties which, in practical application, will reduce the losses caused by the most important storage insects. Most of the synthesized ionic liquids had comparable or better deterrent activity than azadirachtin-an alkaloid known as the most active antifeedant.
