The crystal of compound 5l with dimensions of 0.22 · 0.20 ·
0.16 mm was mounted on a Bruker SMARTb 1000 charge-couple
device (CCD) area-detector diffractometer with a graphite-monochro-
mated MoKa radiation (k = 0.71073ꢀ) by using a phi and scan
modes at 113(2) K in the range of 2.52ꢀ £ h £ 25.0ꢀ. The crystal
belongs to Monoclinic system with space group P2_1 ⁄ c and crystal
parameters of a = 40.243(8) ꢀ, b = 11.353(2) ꢀ, c = 17.635(4) ꢀ,

Synthesis
Pyrazole derivatives 5a-5l were prepared according to the proce-
dures described in Scheme 1. Treatment of substituted benzoyl
phenylhydrazine with Ph3P-CCl4 in acetonitrile at room tempera-
ture gave the corresponding a-chlorohydrazones which reacted
with N-(4-chloro-2-fluoro phenyl)maleimide as dipolarophiles in
the presence of triethylamine to give the title compounds. In
our experiments, we found that electron-donating groups or
electron-withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring have little
effect on the yields of most of the compounds, while the yield
of 5e was relatively higher than others. The results indicate the
nitrilimine with alkyl substituents may be generated and under-
taken 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition more easily than that with aryl
substituents.

cassiicola, Pseudomonas syringae pv. Lachrymans, Ascochyta Citral-
lina Smith, Pseudoperonospora cubensis, and Sclerotinia sclerotio-
