Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and particularly relates to 1,2,4-oxadiazole compounds and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of agricultural intensification and high efficiency, the situation of plant diseases, insect pests and weeds is becoming increasingly severe, which seriously threatens crop yield and quality. According to national statistical data, in 2023, the area of crops affected by disasters in China reached 10.54 million hectares, directly affecting agricultural production safety. As an indispensable input in modern agriculture, chemical pesticides still play an important role in the comprehensive management of crop pests due to their fast-acting, wide application range, and convenient use.
[0003] Although chemical pesticides have made important contributions to food security, long-term and large-scale use has also brought a series of problems such as environmental pollution, increased target resistance, and increased risk to non-target organisms, which has restricted the sustainable development of agriculture. Therefore, developing new pesticides with low toxicity, high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and strong sustainability has become an important direction in the field of pesticide creation.
[0004] Heterocyclic compounds play an increasingly important role in the design of new pesticide molecules due to their excellent physicochemical properties and diverse structural modification space. In particular, compounds containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole structures have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their excellent performance in molecular recognition, target binding, and metabolic stability. These compounds have shown promising activity in insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, and miticidal applications. 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives not only have good biological activity but also have the potential for further structural optimization and functional expansion, making them one of the important molecular scaffolds for green pesticide creation.
[0005] Previous studies have shown that some 1,2,4-oxadiazole compounds exhibit good inhibitory effects on plant parasitic nematodes. Compounds represented by clothianidin have been applied to control various soil-borne nematodes, but there are still deficiencies in the current market in terms of activity intensity, suitable crops, safety, and environmental degradation. Therefore, derivative innovation and screening around this structure to explore new varieties with better control performance have clear practical value and promotion prospects.
[0006] To meet the needs of green agriculture and sustainable development, exploring the application of 1,2,4-oxadiazole compounds in the field of nematode control and developing new structures with high activity, low toxicity, and low residue is an important research direction in the field of pesticides.

[0039] Example 3 Test of fungicidal activity
[0040] (1) Test method of cucumber powdery mildew
[0041] The biological activity of the agent was determined by spore suspension spray inoculation. A true leaf stage cucumber seedling with uniform growth was selected, and the test agent was prepared into a 500 mg / L solution for spray treatment, with 4 repeats (4 pots of cucumber seedlings) per treatment. After 24 hours, the cucumber leaves covered with powdery mildew were inoculated with the spore suspension by spraying (pressure 0.1 MPa). The spore suspension was prepared by gently washing the fresh conidiospores on the surface of the cucumber leaves with sterile water, filtering with double gauze, and preparing a conidiospore suspension with a concentration of 1 x 105 / mL. After inoculation, the test materials were naturally air-dried for half an hour, then moved to a greenhouse with a temperature of 23-25°C, a relative humidity of 60-70%, and a light / dark cycle of 14 / 10 h for cultivation. After one week, the incidence of the blank control was observed and graded according to the "Standard for Evaluation of Biological Activity of Pesticides", and the control effect was calculated according to the disease index. The test was repeated 3 times.
[0042] (2) Cucumber downy mildew test method
[0043] The biological activity of the agent was determined by spore suspension spray inoculation. Two-leaf stage (growing point removed), uniform growth pot-grown cucumber seedlings were selected, two plants per pot, and a YW 5.2-A type micro-sprayer with a pressure of 0.1 MPa was used to uniformly spray the sample liquid with a concentration of 500 mg / L on the surface of the cucumber leaves. Five replicates (5 pots of cucumber seedlings) were set up for each concentration, with thifluzamide as the control, and the sprayed plants were naturally air-dried. After 24 hours of agent treatment, a spore suspension (spore suspension preparation: fresh cucumber downy mildew diseased leaves were collected, and the downy mildew-like substance on the back of the diseased leaves was washed off with a sterile water-dipped brush to prepare a spore suspension with a concentration of 2x105-3x105 spores / mL for use.) was uniformly sprayed on the cucumber leaves using an inoculation sprayer (pressure 0.1 MPa), and then the inoculated cucumber seedlings were moved to a greenhouse with a relative humidity of 100% and a temperature of 20°C, with a light-dark cycle of 14 / 10 h. After 5 days, the disease severity was investigated and the control effect was calculated according to the disease index. The test was repeated 3 times.
[0044] (3) Corn rust test method
[0045] Leaf inoculation method was used. Two pots of uniform growth true leaf stage pot-grown corn seedlings were selected, the sample was dissolved in an appropriate amount of DMF solvent to prepare a 500 mg / L concentration of liquid, which was sprayed on the leaf surface. After the agent was sprayed and dried, the bacteria cake was inoculated on the leaves. After 24-26°C dark light and 24 hours of moisture preservation, natural light was restored and the culture was maintained for about 3 days. After the control was fully diseased, the diameter of each inoculation spot was measured with a caliper, and the control effect was calculated.
[0046] The disease incidence and mycelial growth of the leaves and plants were observed and recorded after the test treatment, and the relative control effect was calculated according to the disease index and mycelial diameter, according to the "SOP for the creation of pesticide biological activity evaluation" fungicide volume, according to the disease index.

[0053] The activity test results are shown in Table 3:
[0054]
[0055]
