Novel 5-chloro-pyrazole derivatives containing a phenylhydrazone moiety as potent antifungal agents: synthesis, crystal structure, biological evaluation and a 3D-QSAR study

Novel 5-chloro-pyrazole derivatives containing a phenylhydrazone moiety were designed and synthesized. Some of the target compounds showed potent fungicidal activity. A 3D-QSAR study provides information for structural optimization.
