BACKGROUND With the objective of finding novel valuable herbicidal candidates, a series of novel 4‐(1 H ‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐6‐(alkynyloxy)‐pyrimidine derivatives were synthesised and their herbicide activities were evaluated in vivo . RESULTS The results showed that many target compounds expressed bleaching activities. Among these, compound 5 h showed the best bleaching activity to gramineous weeds, being able to produce the highest inhibition of chlorophyll level in seedlings of Pennisetum alopecuroides L. ( IC 50 = 3.48 mg L −1 ). Moreover, compound 5 h expressed good selective toxicity between gramineous P. alopecuroides L. and broadleaf plant Brassica campestris L . CONCLUSIONS The present work demonstrates that pyrimidine derivatives containing pyrazole can be used as potential lead compounds for developing novel pigment biosynthesis inhibitors. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
