Synthesis, crystal structure, insecticidal activity and DFT study on the geometry and vibration of O-( E)-1-{1-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-5-methyl-1 H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}ethyleneamino- O-ethyl- O-phenylphosphorothioate

Abstract

The title compound, O-( E)-1-{1-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-5-methyl-1 H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}ethyleneamino- O-ethyl- O-phenylphosphorothioate, has been synthesized via the condensation reaction of 1-{1-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-5-methyl-1 H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}ethanone oxime and O-ethyl- O-phenylphosphorochloridothioate in the presence of NaOH powder in refluxing EtOH. Its structure was characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, Raman, elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The results of preliminary bioassays indicated that the title compound displays good insecticidal activity. Density functional (DFT) calculations have been carried out for the title compound by using the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr's three-parameter hybrid functional (B3LYP) method at 6-31G** and 6-31G* basis sets. The calculated results show that the predicted geometry can well reproduce the structural parameters. The vibrational wave numbers of the title compound were calculated at same level. Predicted vibrational frequencies have been assigned and compared with experimental IR and Raman spectra and they are supported each other.
