School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Hubei University for Nationalities, Enshi 445000)Abstract Twelve novel pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole group were synthesized through cyclization of 5-amino-4-cyano-1-phenylpyrazole with formic acid, followed by chloridization and S N Ar reaction. The structures of all these title compounds were confirmed by IR, 1 H NMR, MS techniques and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay showed that most of the title compounds exhibit relatively good fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis at the concentration of 50 mg/L, especially the inhibitory rates of compounds 5b, 5d and 5j reach above 90%.
