Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides discovered in recent decades and have been adopted by farmers globally and applied broadly in the last couple decades. Given their supreme physical chemistry and biology profiles, there has been another surge of discovery activity on searching for new neonicotinoid insecticides. This presentation will disclose our efforts on this area. The discovery and optimization of a new class of neonicotinoids, i.e., cyclic carbonyl amidines, will be discussed.
