Synthesis, nematocidal activity and docking study of novel chiral 1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives

A series of novel chiral fluorinated pyrazole carboxamides derivatives were designed and synthesized. All these title compounds were confirmed by NMR and MS. The primarily nematocidal activity results indicated that some of them exhibited good control efficacy against the tomato root-knot nematode disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita. The docking results indicated that compound 5n interact with amino acid residue Tyr 121, Trp 279 of AchE via hydrogen bond.

Synthesis and in vivo fungicidal activity of some new quinoline derivatives against rice blast

BACKGROUND Quinoline derivatives possess excellent fungicidal activity against rice blast, but quinoline derivatives have not been thoroughly explored as fungicides. In the process of designing new fungicides, the 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropan-2-yl group was introduced in order to find new structure quinoline derivatives. RESULTS Seventeen new quinoline derivatives containing 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropan-2-yl moiety were designed and synthesised. In vivo fungicidal activities of these compounds were tested against rice blast. Some of the compounds provided effective control at 100 mg L-1 , and a few compounds were effective at 10 mg L-1 . Furthermore, a density functional theory study established the structure-activity relationships of the synthesised compounds. CONCLUSION Quinoline derivatives, especially benzyl (2,3,8-trimethyl-6-(perfluoropropan-2-yl)quinolin-4-yl) carbonate, which possess good control effective against rice blast and cucumber powdery mildew, may become new lead compounds for the development of fungicides with further structure modification.

Synthesis and nematocidal activity of novel 1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives

A series of novel fluorinated pyrazole carboxamides derivatives were designed and synthesized. All these title compounds were confirmed by NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The primary nematicidal activity results indicated that some of them (compound 5b, 5e, 5r and 5s) exhibited 100% efficacy against the tomato root-knot nematode disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita. The docking results indicated that compound 5r interacts with amino acid residue Tyr 121 of AchE via hydrogen bond and Phe288 of AchE via CH–π interaction, respectively.
