Solution Overview

Problem

Existing insecticides face issues with resistance and inadequate efficacy, particularly against pests like Chilo suppressalis, necessitating the development of new compounds with enhanced insecticidal activity.

Innovation Solution

A novel bisamide compound represented by general formula I, with specific substitutions for R1, R2, R3, and R4, is synthesized through reactions involving bromomethylcyclopropane and intermediates, offering improved insecticidal activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing insecticides are used long-term and unreasonably, then initial insecticidal effects are achieved, but resistance problem becomes serious

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsecticidal efficacyVSAvoidpest resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of existing bisamide insecticides by changing parameters such as substituting different halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, I) at specific positions on the benzamide ring, and varying the substituents on the cyclopropane ring. These parameter changes in molecular structure create new compounds with different biological properties that can overcome pest resistance while maintaining insecticidal activity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite molecular structures by combining a benzamide core with various substituted cyclopropane rings and heterocyclic groups. This composite approach generates diverse chemical entities within the bisamide class that can address resistance issues through structural complexity and multiple interaction modes with target pests

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If existing insecticides are used, then some pest control is achieved, but insecticidal effects on Chilo suppressalis are unsatisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidinsecticidal activity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality changes by introducing specific substituents at particular positions on the molecular structure. For example, placing electron-withdrawing groups like CF3 or halogen atoms at specific ring positions creates localized electronic and steric effects that enhance binding affinity to the target pest's neural receptors, thereby improving activity against Chilo suppressalis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces dynamic flexibility into the molecular structure through the cyclopropane ring with various substituents. This dynamic structural element allows the molecule to adapt its conformation to better fit the target binding site, enhancing insecticidal activity against difficult-to-control pests like Chilo suppressalis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
