On the basis of the structure of heterocyclic-fused cis configuration derivatives and chain-opening neonicotinoids, two series of novel chain-opening tetrahydropyridine analogues were designed and synthesized. The preliminary bioassay tests were determined on cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora) and armyworm (Pseudaletia separata Walker). The results showed that some of the target compounds exhibited repellent effects, whereas others showed good insecticidal activities.
