Synthesis, nematocidal activity and docking study of novel chiral 1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives.

A series of novel chiral fluorinated pyrazole carboxamides derivatives were designed and synthesized. All these title compounds were confirmed by NMR and MS. The primarily nematocidal activity results indicated that some of them exhibited good control efficacy against the tomato root-knot nematode disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita. The docking results indicated that compound 5n interact with amino acid residue Tyr 121, Trp 279 of AchE via hydrogen bond.
