3-Chloro-4-(3,4-dichloroisothiazol-5-yl)-5-hydroxy-7-methyl-
2H-chromen-2-ones, a kind of coumarin
derivatives, were synthesized by
β-ketoester
formation and cyclization. Target compound
5e was crystallized from methanol
for structural identification as monoclinic crystal system, space group
C2/
c with
a = 16.2700(6),
b = 7.1801(5),

-1. 8308 Reflections
were collected (6.01≤2
θ≤50.05°), of which 2428
were unique (
Rint =
0.0432) and used in all calculations. The final
R = 0.0408 (

and
wR = 0.1056 (reflections).
In vitro bioassay indicated that compounds
5d &
5e possessed good
activity against
Botrytis cinerea,
Physalospora piricola,
Rhizoctonia solani, and
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with lower EC
50 values
falling between 0.50 and 4.85 µg/mL
than that of positive control osthole with its EC
50 values between 7.38
and 74.59 µg/mL.
In vivo screening showed that
5e exhibited 98% and 95% efficacy against
Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. & Curt.) Rostov.
at 100 and 50 µg/mL, respectively. Our studies discovered
that the combination of bioactive substructures of isothiazole
with coumarin was an effective way to novel fungicide
development.
