Design, Synthesis and Insecticidal Evaluation of Novel Pyrazolecarboxamides Containing Cyano Substituted N‐Pyridylpyrazole

12 novel pyrazolecarboxamides containing cyano substituted N-pyridylpyrazole were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR and HRMS techniques. Their evaluated insecticidal activities against oriental armyworm (Mythimna separata) indicated that the cyano-containing pyrazolecarboxamides exhibited moderate insecticidal activities. Compounds 6i and 6k showed comparable higher activity than corresponding anthranilic diamide 6m.
