Abstract
The affordable and efficient methods for the syntheses of acyclic derivatives of 2-(3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetohydrazine as well as compounds with a combination of pyrazolyl-pyridazine fragment with various azoles in the molecules have been developed. The synthesized compounds showed a stimulating action on plant growth.
Keywords
Introduction
Pyridazine derivatives are one of the most active classes of organic compounds with a wide spectrum of physiological activity. Pyridazin-3-ones also exhibit diverse biological properties. A number of drugs synthesized on the basis of these heterocycles are widely used in medical practice. 1 In agriculture, the arsenal of pesticides based on pyridazine and pyridazinone includes mainly herbicides. 2 Due to the significant interest in these heterocyclic systems, in recent decades, studies were devoted toward pyridazine derivatives in terms of the search for new compounds with fungicidal,3–6 herbicidal,7,8 and insecticidal 9 activities.
Pyrazolylpyridazines, obtained by cyclization of 3-hydrazino-pyridazines, have hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity.10–13 However, it is surprising that in the literature there are practically no data on pesticides or plant growth stimulants based on non-fused heterocyclic system derivatives with a combination of pyrazolylpyridazine fragment and azoles in the structure. At the same time, the increasing awareness of environmental requirements, as well as the fact that harmful organisms can acquire resistance to chemical means of plant protection, make it necessary to replenish the pesticide arsenal with new and more environmentally friendly chemicals that have different mechanisms of action. In this regard, the targeted synthesis of new compounds with a combination of the above-mentioned pharmacophoric heterocycles in the same molecule can lead to new biologically active derivatives, against which plant pests and pathogens have not yet acquired resistance.

Biological properties of the synthesized compounds
Laboratory vegetative studies were carried out to determine the herbicidal, fungicidal, and growth-regulating properties of the synthesized compounds. All the products demonstrated a stimulating effect on plant growth. The activity of the compounds varied in the range of 50%–94% compared to a known test substance heteroauxin. The products having the greatest activity in the experiment (more than 80%) were selected for additional investigations and further field trials.
Conclusion
In summary, a simple and accessible method for the targeted synthesis of new 3-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-oxopyridazine derivatives and compounds with a combination of different pharmacophoric heterocycles in the same molecule have been developed. The obtained compounds demonstrated a stimulating action on plant growth and are also of interest as precursors for the synthesis of new bioactive substances.
Experimental
General
The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 30°C using a Varian Mercury-300 NMR spectrometer (300 and 75 MHz, respectively) in a mixture of DMSO-d6 + CCl4 (3:1) using the standard pulse sequence, and TMS as an internal standard. For singlet, broad singlet, doublet, triplet, quadruplet, and multiplet NMR signals, the following abbreviations were used: s, brs, d, t, q, and m. The reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on “Silufol UV-254” plates (eluent: acetone/hexane 2:1). Elemental analysis was performed on a Eurovector EA3000 CHNS analyzer. Melting points were determined by the capillary method and are uncorrected.
