Novel heptafluoroisopropyl N-phenylpyrazole aryl amides containing cyanoalkyl groups: Design, synthesis, insecticidal activity, docking studies and theoretical calculations

To discover and develop new insecticides of the phenylpyrazole class, a series of heptafluoroisopropyl N-phenylpyrazole aryl amide compounds bearing cyanoalkyl groups were synthesized based on the lead compound nicofluprole. Their structures were established by HRMS,
