Base catalyzed condensation of 4-hydroxyacetophenone 1 with araldehydes 2-8
yields 3-aryl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones 9-15. The compounds 9-15
are alkylated with ethyl chloroacetate to furnish ethyl [4-(3-arylprop-2-e
noyl)phenoxy]acetates 16-22. The esters 16-22 are subjected to nucleophilic
displacement reactions with isopropylamine and morpholine to give the titl
e compounds, 2-[4(-3-arylprop-2-enoyl)phenoxyl-N-isopropylacetamides 23-29
and 4-[{4-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)phenoxylacetyl]morpholine 30-36, respectively
. The esters 16-22 are cyclized with excess of hydrazine hydrate in ethanol
to give the title compounds, 2-[4-(5aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pheno
xy]acetic acid hydrazides 37-43. All the compounds are tested for their tox
icity against five phytopathogenic fungi, Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizoctonia b
ataticola, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Alternaria brassicae, and Fusarium sol
ani, two saprophytic fungi Penicillium digitatum, and Aspergillus niger and
one phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. citrii. Some of t
he compounds inhibit the growth of S. sclerotiorum, A. niger and X. campest
ris pv. citrii at a concentration of 200 ppm.
