Seven pyrimethanil salts were synthesized by organic base containing nitrogen atom reacting with substituted pyridine acids. They are reported for the first time. Their structures have been confirmed by IR, ^1H NMR and elemental analysis. The preliminary toxicity tests indicated that most of them exhibited excellent fungicidal activities. The relationship between the structures and the fungicidal activities of the compounds was discussed.
Low-temperature heat capacities of pyrimethanil decylate （ C22 H33 N3 O2 ） were precisely measured with an automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 78 to 373 K. The sample was observed to melt at （311.04 ± 0.06） K. The molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion as well as the chemical purity of the compound were determined to be（45876± 12） J/mol, （147. 50 ±0. 05） J. mol^-1 · K^-1 and （99. 21 ±0. 03）% （mass fraction）, respectively. The extrapolated melting temperature for the absolutely pure compound obtained from fractional melting experiments is （311. 204±0. 035 ） K.
