Salicylamides containing amino acid or pyran moieties with molluscicidal activity.

Salicylamide amino acid conjugates were prepared utilizing 5-formyl-, 5-dicyanoethenyl-, and 5-nitroethenylsalicylic acid. 5-Substituted salicylanilides were treated with glycine and formaldehyde in a Mannich type reaction affording the corresponding 3-(N-glycino)salicylanilides. The reactions of anilines with pyrans containing the salicylyl moiety yielded the corresponding salicylanilides. The obtained compounds were tested for molluscicidal activity.
