TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preparation (Disclosed): Preparation of N-alkoxycarboxamide compound involves reacting carboxamide compound (II) with pyrazole compound of formula (III) in presence of aprotic inert organic solvent e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene at temperature of -20 to 120 degrees C, to give compound (I).Rasterisk=halo, hydroxy or 1-6C alkoxy. Preferred Definitions:    R1=difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl or methyl;    R2=methyl;    R3=H or fluoro;    R4=methyl;    R5=H or methyl;    n=0;    X=O;    R8, R9 and R10=H;    R11, R12 and R13=H or chloro;    R12=chloro or 1-4C alkyl.    ACTIVITY - Fungicide; Antibacterial; Virucide. The efficacy of 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-methoxy-amide (I') was evaluated for fungicide activity using fungal growth assay against Botrytis cinerea; and fungal growth inhibition was measured. The compound (I') showed fungal growth inhibition of greater than or equal to 80%.    MECHANISM OF ACTION - None given.    ADMINISTRATION - The rate of application of compound is 5 g to 2 kg (preferably 10 g to 1 kg, especially 20-600g) active ingredient/hectare, by spraying, atomizing, dusting, scattering, coating or pouring.    SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - 200 Compounds are disclosed as compound (I) e.g. 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-methoxy-amide (I'), 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-methoxy-amide, 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid methoxy-(1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-ethyl)-amide, 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(4-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-methoxy-amide, 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-hydroxy-amide.    EXAMPLE - A solution of 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl chloride (564 mg) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added drop-wise to a stirred solution of N-(2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-O-methyl-hydroxylamine (600 mg) triethylamine (0.80 ml) in dichloromethane (10 ml) at 0 degrees C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with 1M NaOH (20 ml), 1M HCl (20 ml) brine (20 ml) and then dried over Na2SO4. After workup, 3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1-methyl-ethyl)-methoxy-amide (0.99 g, yield 93.4%) was obtained.
