ABSTRACT

Three new “hybrid” molecules containing the skeleton of oleic acid and salicylic acid were synthesised. A qualitative study of the chemical stability of two of them and a preliminary evaluation of their biological activity in vivo and in vitro were performed against a series of important plant pathogens.

Keywords:

Oleic acid, salicylic acid, vegetable oil.
