Problem

Current pyrazole amide compounds containing a diphenyl ether group are ineffective in preventing and treating rice sheath blight and cucumber powdery mildew, leading to significant yield losses due to drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria.

Innovation Solution

Development of two specific pyrazole amide compounds (represented by formula I and formula II) with a diphenyl ether group, which are synthesized using specific synthetic routes and formulated into pesticide compositions for effective application against rice sheath blight and cucumber powdery mildew.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing pyrazole amide compounds containing a diphenyl ether group are used, then the pesticide can be applied to crops, but the prevention and control effect on rice sheath blight and cucumber powdery mildew is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprevention and control effectVSAvoidyield loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure parameters of pyrazole amide compounds by introducing specific substituents (halogen atoms at positions 3 and 5 of the pyrazole ring, diphenyl ether group at position 1, and specific R1-R6 groups) to enhance biological activity. This structural parameter optimization resolves the contradiction by achieving both effective disease control and preventing yield loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite pesticide formulations by combining the novel pyrazole amide compound with adjuvants such as organic solvents, surfactants, and stabilizers. This composite approach enhances the efficacy of the active ingredient while maintaining crop safety and economic viability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If existing bactericides are used extensively, then disease prevention can be achieved, but pathogenic bacteria develop serious drug resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease control effectVSAvoiddrug resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a novel chemical structure with halogen substituents (Cl, F, or CF3) at positions 3 and 5 of the pyrazole ring, combined with a diphenyl ether group and specific amide substituents. This structural parameter change creates a new mode of action that overcomes existing drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria while maintaining effective disease control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If new pyrazole amide compounds are developed, then better prevention and control effects can be achieved, but the synthesis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiological activityVSAvoidsynthesis route complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the synthesis into modular stages: (1) preparation of substituted phenyl halides, (2) coupling with pyrazole carboxylic acid derivatives, (3) introduction of diphenyl ether group, and (4) final amide bond formation. This segmentation allows each step to be optimized independently, achieving high biological activity while managing synthesis complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universal synthetic intermediates and reagents that can be applied across multiple compound variants. The core pyrazole-diphenyl ether scaffold serves as a universal platform that can accommodate various halogen and amide substituents, reducing overall synthesis complexity while maintaining high biological activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
