These solvents may be used in combination as a mixture.
The reaction of the above Reaction Step 16 is a usual oxidation reaction with e.g. H.sub.2 O.sub.2, which is conducted usually in the presence of a solvent. The reaction temperature is usually within the range of from -20.degree. to +200.degree. C., preferably from -10.degree. to +100.degree. C., and the reaction time is from 0.1 to 100 hours. The solvent may be the same solvent as used for the above Reaction Step 13. Such solvents may be used in combination as a mixture.

Further, it is possible to feed domestic animals with a feed containing the above active ingredient and to control the outbreak or growth of pests, particularly insect pests, with their excrements. Furthermore, the active ingredient may also be applied by a so-called ultra low-volume application method. In this method, the composition may be composed of 100% of the active ingredient.

Insecticidal test against cucurbit leaf beetle (Aulacophora femoralis)
Each formulation containing an active ingredient was dispersed in water to obtain a dispersion containing the active ingredient at a concentration of 800 ppm. Leaves of cucumber were dipped in the dispersion for about 10 seconds and then dried in air. A sheet of moistened filter paper was placed in an ice cream cup having a diameter of 8 cm, and the dried leaves were put on the filter paper. Five adults of cucurbit leaf beetle (Aulacophora femoralis) were released on the leaves, and the ice cream cup was covered and kept in a constant temperature chamber with lightening at a temperature of 26.degree. C. On the 5th day after release, dead insects were counted, and the mortality was calculated in the same manner as in Test Example 1.
The mortality was 100% with Compound No. 9.
