The structure-activity relationships of 1-phenylpyrrolidine-2, 5-dione derivatives were investigated on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by the agar dilution method. In addition, several representative compounds were tested for antimicrobial spectra in vitro with 15 pathogenic microbes and for foliage protection activity in green house tests with rice blast, rice brown spot, rice sheath blight and kidney bean stem rot. It was found that 3, 5-dihalo-substituents on the benzene moiety are essential to high antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Generally, 1-(3', 5'-dihalophenyl) pyrrolidine-2, 5-diones are active against Corticiaceae, Dematiaceae, Pleosporaceae and Sclerotiniaceae, especially active against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea (the conidia form of Sclerotinia fuckeliana). N-(3, 5-Dichlorophenyl) itaeonimide showed _??_ peculiarly broad antimicrobial spectrum. In green house tests, these compounds showed high activity against rice brown spot, rice sheath blight and kidney bean stem rot. Results of green house tests on the above-mentioned diseases correlate fairly well with those of in vitro tests.
