Certain haloalkylsulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds of formula I, wherein W is SO.sub.2 CF.sub.2 R.sub.1, Y, Z and R are H, and X and R.sub.1 are as described above for formula I, may be prepared by reacting an arylethynyl halo-alkylsulfonyl compound of formula VI
X--C.tbd.C--SO.sub.2 CF.sub.2 R.sub.1 (VI)
wherein X and R.sub.1 are as described above with at least one molar equivalent of an aminoacetaldehyde di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl) acetal to give the appropriately substituted {{.alpha.-�(haloalkylsulfonyl)methylene!benzyl}amino}acetaldehyde di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl) acetal of formula VII. The formula VII intermediate is then reacted with excess trifluoroacetic acid to give the appropriately substituted 3-haloalkylsulfonyl-2-arylpyrrole of formula VIII. The above reaction scheme is shown below in Flow Diagram I. ##STR10##
Certain haloalkylthio arylpyrroles of formula I may be prepared by reacting a 2-arylpyrrole compound with an excess of a haloalkylsulfenyl chloride compound and at least one molar equivalent of a base to give the appropriately substituted 5-haloalkylthio-2-arylpyrrole compound of formula IX. This reaction may be illustrated as follows: ##STR11## wherein X and R.sub.1 are as described for formula I above.
Preparation of N-substituted formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl and -sulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds can be achieved by reaction of the appropriately substituted formula I haloalkylthio-, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole having R as hydrogen with an alkylating or acylating agent in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide or hydride. For example, a formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole, wherein R is hydrogen and W, X, Y and Z are as described for formula I above, is reacted with an appropriate alkylating agent such as a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylhalide in which the alkyl group is straight or branched and is optionally substituted with from one to three halogen atoms, one hydroxy, one cyano, one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, one C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthio, one phenyl group, optionally substituted with from one to three halogen atoms, or one benzyloxy group, optionally substituted with from one to three halogen atoms, and an alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium or potassium t-butoxide. This reaction provides a haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole having the same substituents as the starting material, but in addition is substituted on the nitrogen with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group optionally substituted as described above. This reaction may be illustrated as follows: ##STR12## wherein W, X, Y and Z are as described for formula I above and R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl optionally substituted as described above. In a similar reaction cyanogen bromide is substituted for the alkylhalide and yields the formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole having a carbonitrile, rather than an alkyl group, on the nitrogen.
Advantageously, the above-described alkylation procedure of the formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds, in which R is hydrogen may also be applied to the preparation of formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrroles having an N--C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 alkenyl or N--C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 alkynyl substituent. This N-substitution is obtained by simply substituting a C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 alkenyl halide or C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 alkynyl halide for the C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl halide in the above-described reaction.
In a similar manner, preparation of N-acylated haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or sulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds may be achieved by the reaction of an appropriately substituted formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole wherein R is hydrogen with an acylating agent in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide. Acylating agents such as C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl acid chloride, substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl acid chloride, benzoyl chloride, substituted benzoyl chloride, phenylchloroformate, substituted phenylchloroformate, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenylchloroformate, substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenylchloroformate, N-substituted carbamoyl chloride and the like may be employed. The reaction may be illustrated as follows: ##STR13## wherein Y is halogen, W is an alkali metal and W, X, Y, Z and R.sub.7 are as described hereinabove for formula I.
N-substituted formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl and -sulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds wherein R is CH.sub.2 SQ may be prepared by reaction of the appropriately substituted formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole having R as chloromethyl with an alkali metal salt of an SQ compound in the presence of a base. For example, a formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole, wherein R is chloromethyl and W, X, Y and Z are as described for formula I above, is reacted with sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate dihydrate and a base such as sodium hydroxide. This reaction provides a haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl or -sulfonyl arylpyrrole having the same substituents as the starting material, but in addition is substituted on the nitrogen with a methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate group. This reaction may be illustrated as follows: ##STR14## wherein W, X, Y and Z are as described for formula I above.
Pyrroles substituted on the nitrogen atom with CH.sub.2 SQ are also, described in copending patent application Ser. Nos. 804,260, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,254,599 and Ser. No. 803,295, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,280,021 herewith and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
Other methods for the preparation of formula I haloalkylthio, -sulfinyl and -sulfonyl arylpyrrole compounds will become apparent from the examples set forth below.
The compounds of the present invention are effective for controlling insects and acarina. These compounds are also effective for protecting growing or harvested crops from attack by the above-said pests.
In practice generally about 10 ppm to 10,000 ppm and preferably 100 ppm to about 5,000 ppm of a formula I compound, dispersed in water, or another inexpensive liquid carrier, is effective when applied to the plants, the crops or the soil in which said crops are growing to protect said crops from attack by insects and acarina.
The formula I compounds of this invention are also effective for controlling insects and acarina, when applied to the foliage of plants and/or to the soil or water in which said plants are growing in sufficient amount to provide a rate of from about 0.100 kg/ha to 4.0 kg/ha of active ingredient.
While the compounds of this invention are effective for controlling insects and acarina when employed alone, they may also be used in combination with other biological chemicals, including other insecticides and acaricides. For example, the formula I compounds of this invention may be used effectively in conjunction or combination with phosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, formamidines, chlorinated hydrocarbons, halobenzoylureas and the like.
The compounds of the invention may be formulated as emulsifiable concentrates, flowable concentrates, or wettable powders which are diluted with water or other suitable polar solvent, generally in situ, and then applied as a dilute spray. Said compounds may also be formulated in dry compacted granules, granular formulations, dusts, dust concentrates, suspension concentrates, microemulsions and the like all of which lend themselves to seed, soil, water and/or foliage applications to provide the requisite plant protection. Such formulations include the compounds of the invention admixed with inert, solid or liquid diluents.
For example, wettable powders, dusts, and dust concentrate formulations can be prepared by grinding and blending together about 25% to about 85% by weight of formula I compounds and about 75% to about 15% by weight of a solid diluent such as bentonite, diatomaceous earth, kaolin, attapulgite, or the like, 1% to 5% by weight of a dispersing agent such as sodium lignosulfonate, and about 1% to 5% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, such as octylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol or the like.
A typical flowable liquid can be prepared by admixing about 30% to 90% by weight of a gelling agent such as bentonite, 2% to 5% by weight of a dispersing agent such as sodium ligosulfonate, about 1% by weight of polyethyleneglycol, and about 40% to 60% by weight of water.
A typical emulsifiable concentrate can be prepared by dissolving about 15% to 70% by weight of the active ingredient in about 85% to 30% by weight of a solvent such as isophorone, toluene, butyl cellosolve, methyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, or the like and dispersing therein about 1% to 5% by weight of a nonionic surfactant such as an alkylphenoxy polyethoxy alcohol.
Some of the examples provided by way of illustration below utilize the schemes illustrated above and others provide a means for preparing other compounds of the invention which are not specifically described hereinabove. The invention is not to be deemed limited thereby except as defined in the claims.

Insecticide and Acaricide Evaluations
The following tests show the efficacy of the compounds as insecticides and acarides. The evaluations are conducted with solutions of test compounds dissolved or dispersed in 50/50 acetone/water mixtures. The test compound is technical material dissolved or dispersed in said acetone/water mixtures in sufficient amount to provide the concentrations set forth in Table I below.
All concentrations reported herein are in terms of active ingredient. All tests are conducted in a laboratory maintained at about 27.degree. C. The rating system employed is as follows:
______________________________________Rating System______________________________________0 = no effect 5 = 56-65% kill1 = 10-25% kill 6 = 66-75% kill2 = 26-35% kill 7 = 76-85% kill3 = 36-45% kill 8 = 86-99% kill4 = 46-55% kill 9 = 100% kill______________________________________
The test species of insects used in the present evaluations along with specific test procedures are described below.
Spodoptera eridania 3rd instar larvae, southern army-worm
A sieva lima bean leaf expanded to 7 to 8 cm in length is dipped in the test suspension with agitation for 3 seconds and placed in a hood to dry. The leaf is then placed in a 100.times.10 mm petri dish containing a damp filter paper on the bottom and 10 3rd instar caterpillars. The dish is maintained for 5 days before observations are made of mortality, reduced feeding, or any interference with normal moulting.
Spodoptera eridania 7-day residual
The plants treated in the above test are maintained under high intensity lamps in the greenhouse for 7 days. These lamps duplicate the effects of a bright sunny day and are kept on for 14 hour day length. After. 7 days, the foliage is sampled and assayed as in the above-said test.
Tetranychus urticae (P-resistant strain), 2-spotted spider mite
Sieva lima bean plants with primary leaves expanded to 7 to 8 cm are selected and cut back to one plant per pot. A small piece is cut from a leaf taken from the main colony and placed on each leaf of the test plants. This is done about 2 hours before treatment to allow the mites to move over to the test plant and to lay eggs. The size of the cut piece is varied to obtain about 100 mites per leaf. At the time of the treatment, the piece of leaf used to transfer the mites is removed and discarded. The mite-infested plants are dipped in the test formulation for 3 seconds with agitation and set in the hood to dry. Plants are kept for 2 days before estimates of adult kill are made using the first leaf. The second leaf is kept on the plants for another 5 days before observations are made of the kill of eggs and/or newly emerged nymphs.
Empoasca abrupta, adults, western potato leafhopper
A Sieva lima bean leaf about 5 cm long is dipped in the test formulation for 3 seconds with agitation and placed in a hood to dry. The leaf is placed in a 100.times.10 mm petri dish containing a moist filter paper on the bottom. About 10 adult leafhoppers are added to each dish and the treatments are kept for 3 days before mortality counts are made.
Heliothis virenscens, 3rd instar tobacco budworm
Cotton cotyledons are dipped in the test formulation and allowed to dry in a hood. When dry, each is cut into quarters and ten sections placed individually in 30 mL plastic medicine cups containing a 5 to 7 mm long piece of damp dental wick. One 3rd instar caterpillar is added to each cup and a cardboard lid placed on the cup. Treatments are maintained for 3 days before mortality counts and estimates of reduction in feeding damage are made.
The data obtained for the above described evaluations are reported in Table I.
