Claims
- 1. A compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, an ethynyl group, a cyano group, a haloalkyl group, an aminocarbonyl group, or an aminothioxomethyl group; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, the same or different, are nitro, halogen, cyano, lower alkyloxycarbonyl, lower alkylsulfinyl, lower alkylsulfonyl, or the group --CONR.sup.6 R.sup.7 or --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, or halo(lower)alkyl; R.sup.4 is phenyl, benzyl or benzoyl, optionally substituted with halogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.5 is 2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropylcarbonyl, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropyl-1-carbonyl, or a cyclopropanecarboxylic acid residue of the formula ##STR6## wherein Y and Z, the same or different, are hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, haloalkyl, phenyl optionally substituted with halogen or lower alkyl, or phenylthio optionally substituted with halogen or lower alkyl.
- 2. The compound of claim 1 wherein R.sup.5 is a cyclopropanecarboxylic acid residue of the formula: ##STR7##
- 3. The compound of claim 2 wherein one of Y and Z is halogen and the other is halogen or trihalomethyl.
- 4. The compound of claim 3 wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are lower alkoxycarbonyl and R.sup.4 is benzyl.
- 5. The compound of claim 4 wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each methoxycarbonyl.
- 6. An insecticidal composition comprising an insecticidally effective amount of the compound of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 in admixture with a compatible extender or carrier.
- 7. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the insect or to a locus where control is desired an insecticidally effective amount of the compound of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
- 8. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the insect or to a locus where control is desired an insecticidally effective amount of the composition of claim 6.
