Synthesis, insecticidal activities and structure–activity relationship studies of novel anthranilic diamides containing pyridylpyrazole‐4‐carboxamide

Thirty-two new anthranlic diamides containing pyridylpyrazole-4-carboxamide were designed and obtained. SAR analysis and DFT calculation results revealed that the amide moiety had a very important effect on bioactivity. This work has provided information that could aid investigations of novel insecticides.
