The invention discloses a novel harmaline
amide compound, a preparation method of the compound and an application of the compound in preparation of pesticides. The
structural formula of the harmaline
amide compound is shown as a formula (I); the
structural formula is as shown in the specification, wherein in the formula (I), R1 is selected from
hydrogen, methyl, phenyl, 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, p-trifluoromethylphenyl or p-chlorophenyl; R2 is selected from
hydrogen or
bromine; R3 is selected from
hydrogen or ethyl; and R4 is selected from ethyl, 2-pyridyl, o-chlorophenyl, 4,6-dimethylpyrimidyl or p-trifluoromethylphenyl. The compound has good inhibitory activities on
rhizoctonia solani, collectotrichum musae, grey mould germ of strawberry,
fusarium oxyspirum F sp niveum and
alternaria solani and has good application prospects in control of important agricultural pests. In addition, the artificial synthesis process is simple, the product purity is high, and the compound is suitable for large-scale industrial application.
