Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fungicides face challenges in providing high efficacy against plant pathogens while minimizing drug resistance, chemical damage to plants and soil, and toxicity to livestock and fish, and require an industrially advantageous synthesis process.

Innovation Solution

Development of a hydrazide compound with specific structural formulas (Z-1) and its salts, which exhibit excellent fungicidal activity and can be synthesized using a method involving the reaction of compounds (im-1) and (im-2) in the presence of an acid scavenger, or compounds (im-5) and (im-6) with a condensing agent or acid scavenger, depending on the substituent U1.
