INTRODUCTION Nowadays, the fungicide-resistance problem has become a serious one throughout the world. It is important to discover novel structures with new interaction mechanism or new target in order to overcome these problems [1, 2]. 1,2,4Triazoles are a classic heterocycles in medicines, agricultures or industry. They displayed antiproliferative activity [3], anticonvulsant activity [4], fungicidal activity [5], anticancer activity [6] and can act as P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance Inhibitors [7]. They can also be used for the control weeds [8]. Some of them had been developed to commercial pesticides [9-11], such as azafenidin, amicarbazone, sulfentrazone and so on (Fig. 1). Another important nitro-containing heterocycle—pyridine which showed various bioactivities [12-15]. For instances, the commercial herbicides diflufenzopyr, dithiopyr or Nicosulfuron contain pyridine ring. (Fig. 1) Several reports have found diverse applications for 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine, such as mGlu2 receptor PAM activity [16], anticonvulsant activity [17], antibacterial agent [18], antimicrobial activity [19], herbicidal activity [20] and so on. Therefore, the synthesis of versatile structures for 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine is of interest to chemists. In our previous work, some interesting 1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized and they showed various activities [21-34]. In order to explore the potential antifungal activity of fused 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, especially 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3*Address correspondence to this author at the College of Chemical Engineering, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou, 310014, Zhejiang, China; Tel/Fax: +86 571 88320832; E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] §

a]pyridine derivatives, a novel series of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3a]pyridines were designed and synthesized under microwave irradiation condition. The antifungal activities of 1,2,4triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives were evaluated in vivo. The results of antifungal activity indicated that some compounds displayed significant antifungal activity. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthesis and Spectra The synthesis procedures of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3a]pyridines were outlined in Scheme (1). The start material 3-chloro-2-hydrazinylpyridine was prepared in our lab. The key intermediate 8-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine3(2H)-thione was synthesized under microwave irradiation condition. Referring to the literature reported by Chen[35] for the synthesis of trazodone hydrochloride, 1,2,4triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one was prepared successfully using solid phase synthesis method. In our synthetic process, microwave irradiation method was used. According to this method, the key intermediate 8-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3a]pyridine-3(2H)-thione was obtained involving 3-chloro-2hydrazinylpyridine with thiourea. Then the reactions of intermediate 1 with alkyl halides or substituted benzyl halides in water under microwave irradiation in the presence of NaOH as base gave the corresponding compounds 2. The 1 H NMR data indicated that the substitution of 8-chloro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-thione occurred at sulfur atom but not nitrogen atom, as expected for thiol. The CH2 protons between the triazole ring and benzene ring arose at around 5.0 ppm. This is consistent with the reference [36]. Compounds 2a~2k were identified by 1H NMR, MS, X-ray single crystal or elemental analysis. The 1H NMR spectra of

compounds 2a~2k have been recorded in CDCl3. Among the significant feature of 1H NMR data of compound 2, the singlet at  6.22 (SH in triazole ring) was disappeared in the key intermediate 1 respectively. The CH proton signals of pyridine structure of compound 2a~2k were obvious at 6.627.00, 7.02-7.51, 7.31-7.82 ppm respectively. The signal of CH2 proton appeared around at  3.77-5.30 ppm. The elemental analyses and MS results showed that it is consistent with the calculated values. Antifungal Activity The antifungal activities of compound 2a~2k were tested in a greenhouse at a dosage of 100 ppm against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto (SL), Fusarium oxysporum. Sp. Cucumebrium (FO) and Botrytis cinerea (BC). From Table 1, most of the compounds, especially compounds 2c, 2d, 2e, 2h, 2i, 2k were found to display good antifungal activity against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto. For instance, compound 2c exhibited 80.65% inhibition against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto. Compound 2d also displayed good inhibition antifungal activities against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto (74.85%), Fusarium oxysporum. Sp. Cucumebrium (83.33%) respectively. For the compound 2e, it exhibited excellent inhibitory activities against Fusarium oxysporum. Sp. Cucumebrium (84.26%), but it displayed moderate activity against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto(56.85%). For the Fusarium oxysporum. Sp. Cucumebrium, most of title compounds exhibited moderate activity (about 50%), except compound 2d and 2e. Unfortunately, most of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines exhibited weak antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea.

tives. The easy and practice method “microwave irradiation” was used. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental analyses and MS. Furthermore the antifungal activity was investigated, the results indicated that some compounds exhibited good antifungal activity. EXPERIMENT Instrument All the chemical reagents are of analytical grade or prepared by our lab. Melting points were measured using an X4 apparatus and were uncorrected. 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 400 MHz spectrometer using CDCl3 as solvent. Mass spectra were determined on a Thermo Finnigan LCQ Advantage LC/mass detector instrument. Elemental analysis data of title compounds were collected by a Perkin-Elmer 240C analyzer. CEM Discover Focused Synthesizer was used to carry out the microwave reaction. General Procedure Preparation of 2a: The 3-chloro-2-hydrazinylpyridine (143 mg, 1mmol) and thiourea (3 mmol) were exposed to CEM Discover Focused Synthesizer at 180 °C for 30 min. Then the mixture was poured into water (40 mL), filtered and recrystallized to give the key intermediate 8-chloro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-thione. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz), : 6.22(s, 1H, SH), 6.66(t, J=5.0Hz, 1H, Py-H), 7.48(d, J=7.6Hz, 1H, Py-H), 8.11(d, J=4.9Hz, 1H, Py-H). 8Chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)- thione (1mmol), DMF (5 mL), RCH2 Cl (1.1 mmol) and NaOH (0.05 g, 1.2mmol) was irradiated at 90°C for 15 min. After the reaction is completed, the mixture was poured into crushed ice and the target compound 2a was collected, recrystallized. The crude product was purified by column chromatography.

Antifungal Activities Antifungal activity of 2a~2k against Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto, Fusarium oxysporum. sp. cucumebrium and Botrytis cinerea was determined according to references [37-38], and a potted plant test method was adopted. Germination was conducted by soaking cucumber seeds in water for 2 h at 50 o C and then keeping the seeds moist for 24 h at 28 oC in an incubator. When the radicles were 0.5 cm, the seeds were grown in plastic pots containing a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of vermiculite and peat. Cucumber and tomato plants used for inoculations were at the stage of two seed leaves. Tested compounds and commercial fungicides was sprayed with a hand spray on the surface of the seed leaves on a fine morning, at the standard concentration of 100 g/mL, zhongshengmycin, thiophanate-methyl and cyprodinil were used as a control. After 2 h, inoculations of Stemphylium lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto was carried out by spraying fungal suspension, inoculation of Fusarium oxysporum. sp. cucumebrium was carried out by spraying mycelial suspension, inoculation of Botrytis cinerea was carried out by radicle soaking. The experiment was repeated 4 times. After inoculation, the plants were maintained at 18-30 oC [mean temperature of 24 oC and above 80% relative humidity (RH)]. The fungicidal activity was evaluated when the nontreated cucumber plant (blank) fully manifested symptoms. The area of inoculated treated leaves covered by disease symptoms was assessed and compared to that of nontreated ones to determine the average disease index. The relative control efficacy of compounds compared to the blank assay was calculated via the following equation:
