Abstract
[Objective] The aim was to explore the insecticidal activities of capsaicin and nonivamide.[Method] Synthetic nonivamide was prepared by reductive amination and N-acylation reaction with nonanoic acid and vanillin as starting materials,and the chemical structure of the target compound was confirmed by 1H NMR and EI-MS.The biological activities of synthetic nonivamide and capsaicin were tested.[Result] Both capsaicin and synthetic nonivamide had no obvious insecticidal activities against the 3rd instar larvae of Plutella xyllostella(Linnaeus) and 3-day-old nymphs of Aphis craccivora.[Conclusion] The research provides theoretical basis for further study on the insecticidal activities of capsaicin.
