~2~Z
In the formulae III and IV, ~ represents a halogen atom, especially a chlorine or bromine atom, and in formula VI
R represents Cl-C~alkyl, especially methyl or ethyl.
Suitable acid aCceptors for processes 1 and 2 are in par-ticular tertiary amines, such as trialkylamine and pyridine, and also hydroxides, oxides, carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and in addition alkali metal alcoholates, for exampIe potassium tert-butyl-ate and sodium methylate. As hydrophilic agent for process 3, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide can be used for example. Processes l to 5 are carried out at a reaction tetnperature between -10 and 120C, usua]ly between 20 and 80C, under normal or elevated pressure and preferably in an inert solvent or di-luent. Examples of suitable solvQnts or diluents are: ether and ethereal compounds, for example diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, dioxane, dimethoxy ethane and tetrahydrofurane; amides, such a~ N,N-dialkylated carboxamides; aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, especially benzene, toluene, xy-lenes, chloroform and chlorobenæene; nitriles, such as ace-tonitrile; dimethyl sulphoxide; and ketones, such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone.
The starting materials of the formulae II to VII are known or they can be prepared by methods analogous to known ones.
The co~pounds of the formula I are in the form of a mixture of different optically active isomers if individual opti-cally active starting materials are not used in the reaction.
The di~ferent isomer mixtures can be separated into the in-dividual isomers by known methods. The compound of the for-mula I is to be understood as comprising both the indivi-dual isomers and the mixtures thereof.
~lS2(~92 ~he con~pounds of the formula I are suitable for controllin~
a variety of animal and plant pests. In particular, the com-pounds of the formula I are suitable or controllin~ insects, phyt~pathogenic mites and ticks, for example o the orders:
Lepidoptera, Coleootera, Homoptera, Heteroptera, Diptera, Acarina, Thysanoptera, Orthoptera, Anoplura, Siphonaptera, Mallophaga, Thysanura, Isoptera, Psocoptera and Hymenoptera.
In particular, the compounds of the formula I are suitable for controlling insects which are harmful to plan~s, especial-ly insects which damage plants by eating, in ornamentals and crops of useful plants, especially in cotton plantations (e.g. Spodoptera littoralis and Heliothis virescens) and in vegetable crops (for example Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Myzu8 persicae).
The active compounds of the formula I also have a very good action against flies, for example Musca domestica and mosquito larvae.
The insecticidal and/or acaricidal action can be substan-tially bxoadened and adapted to prevailing circumstances by addition of other insecticides and/or acaricides. Examples of-suitable additives include: organic phosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives thereof, ~ormamidines, ureas, pyethroids, carbamates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Compounds of the formula I are also combined with parti-cular advantage with substances which exert a synergistic or potentiating effect on pyrethroids. Examples of such com-pounds include: piperonyl butoxide, propynyl ether, propynyl oximes, propynyl carbamates and propynyl phosphonates, 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxy)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane (Sesamex or Sesoxane), S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate, 1,2-Methy-lenedioxy-4(2-(octylsulphonyl)-propyl)-benzene.
