Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of Alkyl Gallates Against Plant Pathogenic Fungi In Vitro and In Vivo

series of alkyl gallates was synthesized by reacting gallic acid with the corresponding alcohols. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, including NMR and MS. The antifungal activities of these compounds against plant pathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo were assessed.
