Novel pyrazole and imidazolone compounds: synthesis, X-ray crystal structure with theoretical investigation of new pyrazole and imidazolone compounds anticipated insecticide’s activities against targeting Plodia interpunctella and nilaparvata lugens

Abstract

In this study, (2-propoxyphenyl)(3-(p-tolyl)oxiran-2-yl)methanone was synthesised by oxidizing the double bond of the respective chalcone via the Weitz–Scheffer epoxidation reaction. The insecticidal activities of the newly synthesized compounds were tested with computional investigation.
