Synthesis, Fungicidal Activity and SAR of 2-Thiazolamide/Pyrazolamide-Cyclohexylsulfonamides against Botrytis cinerea.

ABSTRACT: In order to explore more efficient sulfonamides against Botrytis cinereal, 36 novel cyclohexylsulfonamides were synthesized by N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (EDCI) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) condensation reaction using chesulfamide as a lead compound, introducing thiazole and pyrazole active groups. Their structures were characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, mass spectrum (MS), and elemental analysis. Compound III -31 was further confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The in vitro and in vivo fungicidal activities against B. cinerea were evaluated by three bioassay methods. The results of mycelial growth demonstrated that median effective concentration (EC₅₀) values of nine compounds were close to boscalid (EC₅₀ = 1.72 µg/mL) and procymidone (EC₅₀ = 1.79 µg/mL) against B. cinerea (KZ-9). In the spore germination experiment, it was found that compounds III-19 and III-31 inhibited germination 93.89 and 98.00%, respectively; at 10 µg/mL, they approached boscalid (95.97%). In the tomato pot experiment, the control effects of two compounds (III-21 and III-27) were 89.80 and 87.90%, respectively, at 200 µg/mL which were significantly higher than boscalid (81.99%). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also discussed, which provided a valuable idea for developing new fungicides.
