Design,Synthesis and Nematicidal and Fungicidal Activities of 8-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine Oxadiazole Thioether Derivatives
In order to discover new compounds with high nematicidal and fungicidal activity,22 8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine oxadiazole thioether derivatives were designed and synthesized,and the structures of all target com-pounds were confirmed by 1H NMR,13C NMR and high-resolution mass spectra(HRMS).The results of nematicidal activity test showed that all the target compounds possessed certain toxic activity against Caenorhabditis elegans(second-stage juve-niles)at the concentration of 100 mg/L.The LC50 of 2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((2-fluoro-benzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6j),2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((2-chlorobenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6m),2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((2-cyanobenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6q),2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((3-methoxybenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6s)and 2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((4-methoxybenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6t)against C.elegans were 48.10,34.94,52.87,48.32 and 37.62 mg/L,respectively,which were superior than that of fosthiazate(79.28 mg/L).The results of fungicidal activity test showed that 2-(8-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-yl)-5-((2-bromoethyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(6d)had good inhibitory activity against Rhizoctonia solani.The ECso value of compound 6d was 7.22 mg/L,which was superior to that of fluopyram(110.02 mg/L).At the concentration of 100 and 200 mg/L,the protective effects of compound 6d against rice sheath blight were 85.5%and 92.1%,and the curative effects were 59.2%and 79.0%.The target compounds synthesized in this study have certain nematocidal and fungicidal activities,which can provide new ideas for the design and synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives,and have reference significance for exploring the bioactivity diver-sity of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives.
