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, we synthesized (2-propoxyphenyl)(3-(p-tolyl)oxiran-2-yl)methanone through oxidizing the double bond of the respective chalcone via the Weitz-Scheffer epoxidation reaction. Additionally, the chalcone with an oxirane ring served as a fundamental building block for the synthesis of various pyrazole and imidazole derivatives, employing diverse nitrogen nucleophiles. All synthesized compounds were confirmed via analytical and spectroscopic analysis, such as FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Furthermore, all these nitrogen heterocycles were optimized via the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set and their physical descriptors were identified. Compound 11 was further confirmed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction with Hirshf
