Scaffold hopping strategy has become one of the most successful methods in process molecular design. Seeking to develop novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs), we employed a scaffold design compounds featuring geminate dichloralkenes (gem-dichloralkenes) fragment. After stepwise modifications, series N-cyclopropyl-dichloralkenes-pyrazole-carboxamide derivatives was synthesized. Among them, G28 (IC50 = 26.00 nM) and G40 27.00 were identified as best inhibitory activity against porcine SDH, with IC50 values reaching nanomolar range, outperforming lead compound pydiflumetofen. Additionally, greenhouse assay indicated that G37 (EC90 0.031 mg/L) G34 1.67 displayed extremely high activities wheat powdery mildew (WPM) cucumber (CPM), respectively. Computational results further revealed gem-dichloralkene fragment fluorine substituted pyrazole form an extra hydrophobic interaction dipolar-dipolar SDH. In summary, our study provides outstanding fungicidal properties, obtained through hopping, holds great potential for future research on PM control.
