Synthetic Approaches to the 2019–2020 New Agrochemicals

This review outlines the synthesis of the ten novel agrochemicals that received an International Standardization Organization (ISO) common name during 2019 and 2020. These agrochemicals will be used to control a wide range of weeds, insects and plant pathogens and their syntheses represent significant advances in the field of crop protection. The broad variety of different reactions, reagents and intermediates used to discover and produce this latest generation of agrochemicials is impressive. 1 Introduction 2 Fungicides and Virucides 3 Herbicides 4 Insecticides, Acaricides and Nematicides 5 Conclusion
