Pesticidal 1-arylpyrrole compositions and method of use thereas

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to pesticidal compounds of the chemical family of 1-arylpyrroles, as well as intermediate products: 1-(N,N-dialkylamino)-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-enes; 1-(substituted phenylamino)-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-enes; and 1-(substituted phenyl)-2-amino-4-cyanopyrroles for the preparation of these compounds. The invention further relates to processes for preparing these pyrrole compounds via the above compound intermediates. The invention also relates to the application of said compounds in agriculture, especially as pesticides for controlling arthropods, preferably as insecticides and acaricides and to agrochemical compositions useful to control arthropods, especially insects and arachnids.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many pyrazoles (two nitrogen atom-containing heterocyclic formula) are well known as insecticides. Also some compounds containing the pyrrole group (one nitrogen atom containing formula) are known as insecticides. However, they usually contain also another chemical group in their formula which is well known to have insecticidal properties per se, such as a pyrethroid group, or a carbamate group, or some organophosphoric group. Simple substituted pyrrole derivatives have been described as agrochemical compounds, for example in British patent 2,189,242, but for fungicidal use.
Certain 1-(N-substituted alkylamino)- and 1-(N-substituted phenylamino)-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-enes and cyclized pyrrole compounds obtained therefrom, namely 1-(substituted alkyl)- and 1-(substituted phenyl)-2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles are described by A. Brodrick and D. G. Wibberley, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. I, 1975, 1910.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
METHODS OR PROCESSES OF SYNTHESIS
The compounds of general formula (I), i.e., (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ib), (Ib-1), (Ic) or (Ic-1), can be prepared by the application or adaptation of known methods (ie. methods heretofore used or described in the chemical literature): generally pyrrole ring formation followed where necessary by changing substituents. It is to be also understood that, in the description of the following process methods the sequences for the introduction of the various groups on the pyrrole ring may be performed in a different order and that suitable protecting groups may be required as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Also compounds of general formula (I) may be converted by known methods into other compounds of general formula (I).
In the following description of process methods when symbols appearing in formulae are not specifically defined, it is to be understood that they are "as herein before defined" in accordance with the first definition of each symbol in this specification. The term "protection" shall include conversion to a suitable non-reactive group which may be reconverted when desired, as well as the addition of groups which render the functionality non-reactive. Within the process definitions, unless otherwise stated, amino refers to the unsubstituted amino group.
METHOD 1
According to a feature of the invention, the compounds of general formula (IIIa), in which X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the same definitions as that shown in the general definition of the invention, ##STR12## may be prepared from dicyanoprop-1-ene derivatives of formula (IVb) ##STR13## (in which the various symbols are as hereinbefore defined) by reaction with a basic agent, preferably an organic base such as a tertiary amine or amidine, or a hydroxide or carbonate of an alkali metal. The reaction is advantageously carried out between -80.degree. and 150.degree. C., preferably 40.degree. to 100.degree. C. Solvents may be used, such as liquid alcohols, hydrocarbons, halohydrocarbons, ethers, ketones, amides such as N-methyl pyrrolidone, and water.
METHOD 2
According to another feature of the invention, the compounds of formula (IVb) may be prepared from an aniline of formula (V), wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the same definitions as shown in general formula (I) of the invention, ##STR14## by reaction with formylsuccinonitrile (i.e. 1-hydroxy-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-ene) or an alkali metal salt of formylsuccinonitrile. This reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent or in water at a temperature between 10.degree. and 120.degree. C., preferably at reflux temperature.
Formylsuccinonitrile is a known compound, generally made by acidification of its alkaline salt which is obtained by reaction of succinonitrile with a lower alkyl formate in the presence of an alkaline agent according to C. A. Grob and P. Ankli, Helv. Chim. Acta, 1950, 33, 273.
The compounds of formula (IVb) are alternatively prepared from compounds of formula (IVa), ##STR15## wherein R.sup.4 and R.sup.4' are as described under Summary of the Invention, by a transenamination reaction with an appropriately substituted aniline of formula (V) as defined above. The reaction is conducted at a temperature in the range from about 0.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C., in the presence of an organic or inorganic acid, and in a suitable solvent, such as the above acid or inert polar organic solvents, e.g. amides, sulfoxides, sulfones, and ethers. The acid can be either a common anhydrous strong mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or an anhydrous strong organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The quantity of acid required for this reaction is within the range of about one molar equivalent to a large excess. In some cases such as with trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, the acid itself can be the solvent of the reaction.
The new compounds of formula (IVa) of this invention can be prepared by reacting the potassium salt of 1-hydroxy-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-ene with an appropriate amount of a salt of the N,N-dialkylamine of a formula HNR.sup.4 R.sup.4' (R.sup.4 and R.sup.4' are as described above) in a suitable solvent system. Suitable diluents are organic acids, inert polar organic solvents such as amides, alcohols, sulfoxides, sulfones and ethers alone, or in a mixture with inert apolar halogenated aliphatics (1,2-dichloroethane), and optionally substituted aromatics (toluene and chlorobenzene). Suitable reaction temperatures are between about 20.degree. C. and about 150.degree. C. The potassium salt of 1-hydroxy-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-ene is prepared by formylation of succinonitrile with an alkyl formate in the presence of an appropriate base as described above in METHOD 1 for the preparation of compounds of formula (IVb).
METHOD 3
Compounds of general formula (I) in which X is halogen, R.sup.1 is amino, R.sup.2 is cyano and R.sup.3 is hydrogen and the other substituents have the meaning described in the general description of the invention may be prepared by treating compounds of general formula (IIIa) with halogenating agents such as sulfuryl chloride, N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, N-idosuccinimide, pyridinium bromide perbromide or molecular fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Suitable organic solvents for these transformations include dichloromethane and acetonitrile. The reactions are carried out between -80.degree. C. and +80.degree. C., preferably between -50.degree. C. and +25.degree. C. It may be advantageous to protect the amino group as the trifluoroacetamide derivative during treatment with elemental fluorine.
METHOD 4
A) Compounds of general formula (I) in which X is a cyano group, R.sup.1 is amino, R.sup.2 is cyano and R.sup.3 is hydrogen and the other substituents have the meanings described in the general description of the invention, may be obtained from the corresponding compounds in which X is a group CH.dbd.NOH by dehydration with agents such as acetic anhydride, cyanuric chloride, P.sub.2 O.sub.5 and the like. With certain of these dehydrating agents it may be necessary to protect the amino group with a suitable protecting group.
B) The intermediate compounds above in which X is a group CH.dbd.NOH may be obtained by condensation of hydroxylamine with the corresponding compounds in which X is formyl.
C) The intermediate compounds in which X is a formyl group, that is to say compounds of formula (VI), may be obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding compounds in which X is a bis(alkylthio)methyl or bis(arylthio)methyl group or treatment with a suitable alkyl nitrite followed by hydrolysis according to E. Fujita, K. Ichikawa and K. Fuji, Tetrahedron Letters 1978, 3561. Protection of the amino function with an appropriate protecting group may be necessary during the reaction with alkyl nitrites.
D) The intermediate compounds of general formula (I) in which X is a bis(alkylthio)methyl or bis(arylthio)methyl group, and the other groups are defined as above may be prepared by reaction of a compound of general formula (IIIa) with a tris(alkylthio)methane or tris(arylthio)methane in the presence of a Lewis acid, preferably a sulfonium salt such as dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate. General conditions for such transformations may be found in Synthesis 1984, 166.

J. Lewis et. al. in J. Org. Chem. 1977, 42, 1479. It may be necessary to convert the cyano group in the compound above in which X is halogen to an appropriately protected derivative (for example an oxazoline derivative of the corresponding compound in which the cyano group has been hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid ) prior to formation of the Grignard reagent or lithium derivative. Alternatively, the Grignard reagent or lithium derivative described above may be reacted with a trialkyl borate followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide by a procedure analogous to that described by M. F. Hawthorne in J. Org. Chem. 1957,22, 1001 or R. W. Hoffmann and K. Ditrich in Synthesis 1983, 107.
B) Compounds of general formula (I) in which X is cyanato, R.sup.1 is amino , R.sup.2 is a cyano group, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom and X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the definitions shown in the general definition of formula (I) of the invention may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which X is hydroxy, R.sup.1 is an optionally protected amino group, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom and X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the definitions shown in the definition of general formula (I) of the invention by treatment with cyanogen halides in the presence of a base by methods similar to those described by D. Martin and M. Bauer in Org. Synth. 61, 35, followed by a deprotection step, if necessary.

For example, treatment of the formyl compounds with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride in a manner analogous to that described by W. J. Middleton in J. Org. Chem. 1975, 40, 574 provides compounds of general formula (I) in which X is a difluoromethyl group and the other substituents are defined as above. Oxidation of the above mentioned intermediate compounds of general formula (I) in which X is formyl with oxidizing agents such as chromium trioxide in sulfuric acid (Jones' reagent) provides intermediate compounds of general formula (I) in which X is a carboxylic acid function, R.sup.1 is an amino group, R.sup.2 is a cyano group, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom and X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the definitions shown in general formula (I) of the invention. It may be advantageous to protect the amino function as, for example, the trifluoroacetamide derivative during such oxidation reactions. Reaction of the compounds above in which X is a carboxylic acid group with sulfur tetrafluoride as described by G. A. Boswell et. al. Org. React. 1974, 21, 1-124 provides compounds in which X is a trifluoromethyl group and the other groups are defined as above.

J. Burton and D. M. Wiemers in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 832.

J. Linderman and D. M. Graves described in Tetrahedron Lett. 1987, 28, 4259 and a deprotection step, if necessary. Suitable haloalkylmetal derivatives include perfluoroalkyl lithium derivatives prepared according to P. G. Gassman and N. J. O'Reilly, J. Org. Chem., 1987, 52, 2481-2490 or trimethyltrifluoromethylsilane prepared and used according to G. A. Olah et. al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 393. References to other haloalkyl metal derivatives may also be found in this reference.

METHOD 9
The compounds of formula (VII) may be converted to other compounds of general formula (I) in which X represents .alpha.-haloalkyl-.alpha.-halomethyl groups by treatment with halogenating agents such as thionyl chloride or hydrogen bromide.

Preferably an organic solvent, e.g. dichloromethane, is used at a temperature of -100.degree. C. to +100.degree. C., preferably -80.degree. C. to +25.degree. C. This reaction may be optionally carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor such as a tertiary amine, e.g. pyridine. The alkylsulfenyl chlorides may be prepared according to S. Thea and G. Cevasco, Tetrahedron Letters, 1988, 2865. When a sulfenyl chloride is used, the process may be represented by the following equation: ##STR17##

METHOD 12
Compounds of formula (IX) may be oxidized to provide compounds of formula (X) in which X is a group R.sup.5 S(O).sub.n, wherein n is 1 or 2 and R.sup.5 is as hereinbefore defined. The oxidizing agents which may be used include hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacetic acid, trifluoroperoxyacetic acid and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in solvents such as dichloromethane, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid at temperatures between -400.degree. C. and +80.degree. C., preferably 0.degree. C. to 25.degree. C. The appropriate reaction conditions, i.e. temperature, length of reaction and amount of oxidant may be changed to provide the sulfinyl (n=1) or sulfonyl (n=2) derivatives as desired. It is also possible to prepare the sulfonyl derivatives from the sulfinyl compounds, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. With certain haloalkylthio groups, for example trifluoromethylthio, it may be beneficial to protect the amino function as, for example, the trifluoroacetamide derivative. If, for example, trifluoroperoxyacetic acid is chosen as the oxidant, the process may be represented by the following equation: ##STR18##

The general transformation is as shown below: ##STR19##
The compounds of formula (XII), in which R.sup.3 is halogen are then optionally converted into the corresponding compounds in which R.sup.3 is hydroxy in a similar manner to that of METHOD 5A, these then are reacted with an appropriate haloalkenyl or haloalkynyl reactant such as a halide or optionally via a transetherification reaction with an appropriate alkenyl- or alkynylalkyl ether to give the compounds in which R.sup.3 is alkenyloxy or alkynyloxy.

The process may be generally represented as shown below: ##STR20##

With certain combinations of R.sup.2 and X substituents, the compounds of formula (I) in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are simultaneously amino may have limited stability and may require protection of one of the amino groups with a suitable protecting group. The intermediate compounds of general formula (I) in which R.sup.3 is nitro, R.sup.1 is amino, R.sup.2 is cyano and X, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the meanings given in general formula (I) of the invention may be prepared by nitration of compounds of formula (XI) through the action of nitric acid and sulfuric acid or nitric acid in acetic anhydride or other nitrating agents.

METHOD 18
Various derivatives, useful as intermediates, of a compound of formula (XV) (vide infra) may be prepared by the following methods:
A) Compounds of general formula (I) in which R.sup.3 is alkylamino, dialkylamino or aralkylamino, R.sup.1 is amino, R.sup.2 is cyano and X, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and Y have the meanings given in general formula (I) of the invention may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which R.sup.3 is amino and the other substituents are defined as above by alkylation with alkyl or aralkyl halides or sulfonates in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetonitrile, toluene and the like. The production of mono- or dialkylated products may be controlled through manipulation of stoichiometry or reaction conditions. Alternatively, if monoalkylamine products are desired, other methods such as the conversion of the amino group to an alkoxyalkylideneimino group by treatment with an alkylorthoester followed by reduction may be employed. If the desired final products contain R.sup.1 as the unsubstituted amino group, it may be necessary to protect the amino group prior to such treatment with a suitable protecting group.

Solvents such as acetonitrile may be used and acid acceptors such as pyridine may be employed under appropriate conditions.

Suitable amino protecting groups in such reactions include the alkoxyalkylideneimino group obtained by treatment of the amino compound with an alkylorthoformate. Deprotection procedures for such groups typically involve aqueous hydrolysis.

C. ##STR47## C-1) Compounds of the general formula (Ia) wherein the definitions of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Y, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, and X.sup.4 are those herein above defined in formula (Ia), and X is a perhaloalkylthio group, R.sup.6 S, in which R.sup.6 is CFR.sup.7 R.sup.8 and R.sup.7 is F, Cl, or Br, and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, can be prepared from the reaction of a compound of the general formula (XLI) and a perhaloalkane compound of the general formula (XLII), ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8, wherein Z is Cl, Br, or I, R.sup.7 is F, Cl or Br, and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, with a reducing agent which can promote the formation of the free radical CFR.sup.7 R.sup.8 from ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8, preferably chosen from the metals consisting of zinc, cadmium, aluminum, manganese, or a compound with an oxide of sulfur, e.g., the dithionites or the hydroxymethylsulfinates. The alkaline dithionite, or alkaline earth or metal dithionite corresponds to the general formula (XLIII), M.sub.n (S.sub.2 O.sub.4), in which n can be 1 or 2 depending upon the valence of the metal M. When one uses a dithionite of the general formula (XLIII) or a hydroxymethylsulfinate, one needs to add a base chosen from among the alkaline hydroxides, alkaline earth hydroxides, ammonia, triethylbenzylammonium, or the salts of weak acids such as disodium phosphate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium hydrogen sulfite, or sodium borate. The reaction is performed in a solvent (which can solubilize the dithionite or the hydroxymethylsulfinate and the compound (XLII), ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8), such as acetonitrile, formamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoramide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide, or sulfolane, at a reaction temperature from about 0.degree. C. to about 85.degree. C. The alkaline dithionite can be added to the reaction mixture as a saturated solution in water or formamide. It is also possible to add the dithionite as a solid. When one is working with a gas which is only slightly soluble in the reaction solvent, the reaction pressure can be increased from one atmosphere to 50 atmospheres. A more specific example would be the preparation of a compound of the general formula (Ia) in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, amino, alkylcarbonylamino, or haloalkylcarbonylamino, R.sup.2 is cyano, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or Cl, and X is a perhaloalkylthio group, R.sup.6 S, in which R.sup.6 is CFR.sup.7 R.sup.8 and R.sup.7 is F, Cl or Br and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, from the reaction of a compound of the general formula (XLI) in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, amino, alkylamido, or haloalkylamido, R.sup.2 is cyano, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or Cl, and a compound of the general formula (XLII), ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8, wherein Z is Cl, Br or I, R.sup.7 is F or Cl, Br, and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, with sodium dithionite and disodium phosphate in dimethylformamide at 25.degree. C. The reaction is represented by the following equation: ##STR48## C-2) Alternatively, compounds of the general formula (Ia) wherein the definitions of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Y, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, and X.sup.4 are those herein above defined in formula (Ia), and X is a perhaloalkylthio group, R.sup.6 S, in which R.sup.6 is CFR.sup.7 R.sup.8 and R.sup.7 is F, Cl, or Br, and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, can be prepared from the reaction of a compound of the general formula (XLI) and a perhaloalkane compound of the general formula (XLII), ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8, wherein Z is Cl, Br, or I, R.sup.7 is F, Cl or Br, and R.sup.8 is F, Cl, Br or a perfluoroalkyl group, with another reducing agent medium, such as sodium formate along with sulfur dioxide, which also can promote the formation of the free radical CFR.sup.7 R.sup.8 from ZCFR.sup.7 R.sup.8. The reaction is conducted optionally in a solvent and in a similar manner to that described in C-1) above.
A more specific example would be the preparation of compounds of formula (Ia) in which X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3 and X.sup.4 are as defined in formula (Ia), R.sup.1 is amino, R.sup.2 is cyano, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, from the reaction of a compound of formula (XLI) in which the substituents are as defined above. Said compounds of formula (Ia) can then be further converted into other compounds of formula (Ia) according to Methods 1 to 41 and processes (P.sub.1 to P.sub.15) previously described.
The intermediate chlorosulfonyl compounds of formula (XXXIX) and the intermediate disulfide compounds of formula (XLI) are an additional part of the present invention.

A solution of 910 mg (2.07 mmoles) of 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-chloro-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylthiopyrrole (made according to the process described in EXAMPLE 4) and 492 mg of 80% meta chloroperoxybenzoic acid (394 mg, 2.28 mmoles) in 25 ml of chloroform was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours and then heated to reflux overnight. An additional 45 mg (0.21 mmoles) of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid was added and reflux was continued for 1 hour. Heating was then stopped, and the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO.sub.4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a colorless solid residue. This process was repeated so as to get, all together, 950 mg of product which was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 2:1 v/v dichloromethanehexane. Early fractions contained 310 mg (24%) of 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-chloro-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylsulfonylpyrrole (EXAMPLE 1 ) as a colorless solid. Recrystallization from hexaneethyl acetate furnished 240 mg of the sulfone as colorless needles, melting point 198.degree. C.

C. under an inert atmosphere and a solution of 0.29 ml (0.48 g, 3.6 mmoles) of sulfuryl chloride in 15 ml of anhydrous ethyl ether was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to 20.degree. C., and stirred for 2.5 days when an additional 0.03 ml (0.4 mmole) of sulfuryl chloride was added and stirring continued for another day. Another 0.03 ml of sulfuryl chloride was added and after an additional day the reaction was quenched with 28 ml of 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution.

After an additional 30 min. stirring, LC indicated that 14% of the starting material still remained, so more sulfur monochloride (0.25 mL, 3.1 mmoles, 0.05 eq.) in ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added. After 30 min., more sulfur monochloride (0.25 mL, 3.1 mmoles, 0.05 eq.) in ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added. After an additional 30 min., more sulfur monochloride (0.5 mL, 6.2 mmoles, 0.1 eq.) in ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was quenched with 100 mL of sat. sodium bicarbonate solution, and the reaction mixture allowed to reach room temperature. Water (100 mL) was added, and the phases separated. The organic phase was washed with sat. NaHCO.sub.3 (200 mL), sat. NaCl (200 mL), dried over MgSO.sub.4, filtered, and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to afford bis-[2-amino-1-(2 6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-cyano-pyrrol-3-yl]-disulfide (25.2 g) as a brown solid. This was triturated in boiling ethanol (300 mL), filtered, washed with hexane, and dried to afford the product as a tan solid, 8.3 g (38%).

Sodium formate (5.42 g, 79.62 mmoles, 4.06 eq.) was added. The pressure bottle was then cooled to 0.degree. C. Sulfur dioxide (3.5 mL, 78.35 mmoles, 4.0 eq.) was condensed into a 15 mL graduated conical test tube which was cooled in a Dewar flask with Dry Ice-acetone. The sulfur dioxide was transferred to the pressure bottle via canula. Similarly, perfluoroethyl iodide (8.0 mL, 67.4 mmoles, 3.45 eq.) was condensed and transferred to the pressure bottle. The pressure bottle was sealed and the ice bath removed. After two hours, the pressure seemed to stabilize at 31.5 psi. The solution was allowed to stir over the weekend, after which the pressure read 34.5 psi, and the reaction mixture was a brown color. The reaction mixture was added to 400 mL ice-water, and a brown, oily solid precipitated out. This mixture was extracted with 3.times.200 mL ethyl ether, which was washed with 200 mL sat. NaCl solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to afford 23.54 g of 2-amino-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-cyano-3-(pentafluoroethylthio)pyrrole as a green solid. This was triturated with 10 mL of dichloromethane and washed 3.times.20 mL of hexane to afford the product as a lime-green solid, 11.34 g (61.5%), melting point 183.5.degree. C.

CIS 1
Preparation of 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-ene:
A 12 liter three-necked round-bottomed flask, fitted with a mechanical stirrer, water condenser, nitrogen inlet and bubbler, was charged with 877 g (6 moles) of the potassium salt of 1-hydroxy-2,3-dicyanoprop-1-ene in 61 of anhydrous toluene and 300 ml of anhydrous DMF.

The invention also provides a method for the control of arthropod or nematode pests of plants which comprises the application to the plants or to the medium in which they grow of an effective mount of a compound of general formula (I).
For the control of arthropods and nematodes, the active compound is generally applied to the locus in which arthropod or nematode infestation is to be controlled at a rate of about 0.005 kg to about 15 kg of active compound per hectare of locus treated, preferably 0.02 kg/ha to 2 kg/ha. Under ideal conditions, depending on the pest to be controlled, the lower rate may offer adequate protection. On the other hand, adverse weather conditions, resistance of the pest and other factors may require that the active ingredient be used in higher proportions. In foliar application, a rate of 0.01 kg to 1 kg/ha may be used. The optimum rate depends usually upon the type of pest being controlled, as well as upon the type and the growth stage of the infested plant, the row spacing and also the method of application.
When the pest is soil-borne, the formulation containing the active compound is distributed evenly over the area to be treated in any convenient manner. Application may be made, if desired, to the field or crop-growing area generally or in close proximity to the seed or plant to be protected from attack. The active component can be washed into the soil by spraying with water over the area or can be left to the natural action of rainfall. During or after application, the formulation can, if desired, be distributed mechanically in the soil, for example by ploughing or disking. Application can be prior to planting, at planting, after planting but before sprouting has taken place or after sprouting.
The compounds of general formula (I) may be applied in solid or liquid compositions to the soil principally to control those nematodes dwelling therein but also to the foliage principally to control those nematodes attacking the aerial parts of the plants (e.g. Aphelenchoides spp, and Ditylenchus spp. listed above).
The compounds of general formula (I) may be of value in controlling pests which feed on parts of the plant remote from the point of application, e.g. leaf feeding insects are killed by the subject compounds applied to roots. In addition the compounds may reduce attacks on the plant by means of antifeeding or repellent effects.
The compounds of general formula (I) are of particular value in the protection of field, forage, plantation, glasshouse, orchard and vineyard crops, of ornamentals and of plantation and forest trees, for example, cereals (such as maize, wheat, rice, sorghum), cotton, tobacco, vegetables and salads (such as beans, cole crops, curcurbits, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and peppers), field crops (such as potato, sugar beet, ground nuts, soyabean, oil seed rape), sugar cane, grassland and forage (such as maize, sorghum, lucerne), plantations (such as of tea, coffe, cocoa, banana, oil palm, coconut, rubber, spices), orchards and groves (such as of stone and pit fruit, citrus, kiwifruit, avocado, mango, olives and walnuts), vineyards, ornamental plants, flowers and vegetables and shrubs under glass and in gardens and parks, forest trees (both deciduous and evergreen) in forests, plantations and nurseries.
They are also valuable in the protection of timber (standing, felled, converted, stored or structural) from attack by sawflies (e.g. Urocerus) or beetles (e.g. scolytids, platypodids, lyctids, bostrychids, cerambycids, anobiids), or termites, for example, Reticulitermes spp., Heterotermes spp, Coptotermes spp.
They have applications in the protection of stored products such as grains, fruits, nuts, spices and tobacco, whether whole, milled or compounded into products, from moth, beetle, mite and grain weevil (Sitophilus granarius) attack. Also protected are stored animal products such as skins, hair, wool and leathers in natural or converted form (e.g, as carpets or textiles) from moth and beetle attack; also stored meat and fish from beetle, mite and fly attack.
The compounds of general formula (I) may be of particular value in the control of arthropods, helminths or protozoa which are injurious to, or spread or act as vectors of diseases in man and domestic animal, for example those hereinbefore mentioned, and more especially in the control of ticks, mites, lice, fleas, midges and biting, nuisance and myiasis flies. The compounds of general formula (I) are particularly useful in controlling arthropods, helminths or protozoa which are present inside domestic host animals or which feed in or on the skin or suck the blood of the animal, for which purpose they may be administered orally, parenterally, percutaneously or topically. Coccidiosis, a disease caused by infections by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, is an important potential cause of economic loss in domestic animals and birds, particularly those raised or kept under intensive conditions. For example, cattle, sheep, pigs and rabbits may be affected, but the disease is especially important in poultry, in particular chickens.
The poultry disease is generally spread by the birds picking up the infectious organism in droppings on contaminated litter or ground or by way of food or drinking water. The disease is manifested by hemorrhage, accumulation of blood in the ceca, passage of blood to the droppings, weakness and digestive disturbances. The disease often terminates in the death of the animal, but the fowl which survive severe infections have had their market value subtantially reduced as a result of the infection.
Administration of a small mount of a compound of general formula (I) preferably by combination with poultry feed may be effective in preventing or greatly reducing the incidence of coccidiosis. The compounds are effective against both the cecal form (caused by E. tenella) and the intestinal forms (principally caused by E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima and E. necatrix.
The compounds of general formula (I) may also exert an inhibitory effect on the oocysts by greatly reducing the number and/or the sporulation of those produced.
The compositions hereinafter described for topical application to man and animals and in the protection of stored products, household goods, property and areas of the general environment may, in general, alternatively be employed for application to growing crops and crop growing loci and as a seed dressing. Suitable means of applying the compounds of general formula (I) include:
to persons or animals infested by or exposed to infestation by arthropods, helminths or protozoa, by parenteral, oral or topical application of compositions in which the active ingredient exhibits an immediate and/or prolonged action over a period of time against the arthropods, helminths or protozoa, for example by incorporation in feed or suitable orally-ingestible pharmaceutical formulations, edible baits, salt licks, dietary supplements, pour-on formulations, sprays, baths, dips, showers, jets, dusts, geases, shampoos, creams, wax smears and livestock self-treatment systems; to the environment in general or to specific locations where pests may lurk, including stored products, timber, household goods, and domestic and industrial premises, as sprays, fogs, dusts, smokes, wax-smears, lacquers, granules and baits, and in tricklefeeds to waterways, wells, reservoirs and other running or standing water; to domestic animals in feed to control fly larvae feeding in their faeces; to growing crops as foliar sprays, dusts, granules, fogs and foams; also as suspensions of finely divided and encapsulated compounds of general formula (I) as soil and root treatments by liquid drenches, dusts, granules, smokes and foams; and as seed dressings by liquid slurries and dusts.
The compounds of general formula (I) may be applied to control arthropods, helminths or protozoa in compositions of any type known to the art suitable for internal or external administration to vertebrates or application for the control of arthropods in any premises or indoor or outdoor area, containing as active ingredient at least one compound of general formula (I) in association with one or more compatible diluents or adjuvants appropriate for the intended use. All such compositions may be prepared in any manner known to the art.
Compositions suitable for administration to vertebrates or man include preparations suitable for oral, parenteral, percutaneous, e.g. pour-on, or topical administration.
Compositions for oral admistration comprise one or more of the compounds of general formula (I) in association with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or coatings and include, for example, tablets, pills, capsules, pastes, gels, drenches, medicated feeds, medicated drinking water, medicated dietary supplements, slow-release boluses or other slow-release devices intended to be retained within the gastro-intestinal tract. Any of these may incorporate active ingredient contained within microcapsules or coated with acid-labile or alkali-labile or other pharmaceutically acceptable enteric coatings. Feed premixes and concentrates containing compounds of the present invention for use in preparation of medicated diets, drinking water or other materials for consumption by animals may also be used.
Compositions for parenteral administration include solutions, emulsions or suspensions in any suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and solid or semisolid subcutaneous implants or pellets designed to release active ingredient over a protracted period and may be prepared and made sterile in any appropriate manner known to the art.
Compositions for percutaneous and topical administration include sprays, dusts, baths, dips, showers, Jets, greases, shampoos, creams, wax-smears, or pour-on preparations and devices (e.g. ear tags attached externally to animals in such a way as to provide local or systemic arthropod control.
Solid or liquid baits suitable for controlling arthropods comprise one or more compounds of general formula (I) and a carrier or diluent which may include a food substance or some other substance to induce consumption by the arthropod. When used in agriculture in practice, the compounds according to the invention are seldom employed alone. Most frequently these compounds form part of compositions. These compositions, which can be employed, e.g., as insecticidal agents, contain a compound according to the invention such as described earlier as the active ingredient in combination with the agriculturally acceptable/compatible solid or liquid carriers and surface-active agents which are equally agriculturally acceptable/compatible. The inert and usual carriers and the usual surface-active agents can, in particular, be employed. These compositions also form part of the invention.
These compositions may also contain all kinds of other ingredients such as, for example, protective colloids, adhesives, thickeners, thixotropic agents, penetrating agents, spray offs (especially for acaridical uses), stabilisers, preservative agents (especially mold preservatives), sequestering agents, or the like, as well as other known active ingredients with pesticidal properties (particularly insecticides, or fungicides) or with properties regulating the growth of plants. More generally, the compounds employed in the invention may be combined with all the solid or liquid additives corresponding to the usual techniques of formulation.
The use doses of the compounds employed in the invention can vary within wide limits, particularly depending on the nature of the pest to be eliminated and the usual degree of infestation of the crops with these pests.
In general, the compositions according to the invention usually contain approximately 0.05 to 95% (by weight) of one or more active ingredients according to the invention, approximately 1 to 95% of one or more solid or liquid carriers and, optionally, approximately 0.1 to 50% of one or more surface-active agents.
In accordance with what has already been stated the compounds employed in the invention are generally combined with carriers and, optionally, surface-active agents.
In the present account, the term "carrier" denotes an organic or inorganic ingredient, natural or synthetic, with which the active ingredient is combined to facilitate its application to the plant, to seeds or to the soil. This carrier is therefore generally inert and it must be agriculturally acceptable/compatible, particularly to the treated plant. The carrier may be solid (clays, natural or synthetic silicates, silica, resins, waxes, solid fertilisers, for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorrillonite, bentonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as silica, alumina, silicates especially aluminium or magnesium silicates. As solid carriers for granules that are suitable are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks; kieselguhr, corn husks, tricalcium phosphate, powdered cork, absorbent carbon black and water soluble polymers, resins, waxes, solid fertilizers, and such solid compositions may, if desired, contain one or more compatible wetting, dispersing, emulsifying or colouring agents which, when solid, may also serve as diluent. The carrier may be also liquid: alcohols, particularly butanol or glycol, as well as their ethers or esters, particularly methylglycol acetate; ketones, particularly acetone, cyclohexanone, methylethyl ketone, methylisobutylketone, and isophorone; petroleum fractions; paraffinic or aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly xylenes or alkyl naphtalenes, petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils; aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, particularly trichloroethane or methylene chloride, or aromatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, particularly chlorobenzenes; water-soluble or strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, or N-methylpyrrolidone as well as water; liquefied gases, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
The surface-active agent may be an emulsifying agent, dispersing agent or wetting agent of the ionic or non-ionic type or a mixture of such surface-active agents. There may be mentioned, e.g., salts of polyacrylic acids, salts of lignosulphonic acids, salts of phenolsulphonic or naphthalenesulphonic acids, polycondensates of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols or fatty acids or fatty esters or fatty mines, substituted phenols (particularly alkylphenols or arylphenols), salts of sulphosuccinic acid esters, taurine derivatives (particularly alkyltaurates), phosphoric esters of alcohols or of polycondensates of ethylene oxide with phenols, esters of fatty acids with polyols, and sulphate, sulphonate and phosphate functional derivatives of the above compounds. The presence of at least one surface-active agent is generally essential when the active ingredient and/or the inert carrier are only slightly water soluble or are not water soluble and the carrier agent of the application is water.
Compositions of the invention may contain further different additives such as adhesives and colorants. Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Further additives can be mineral and vegetable oils. It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
Compositions containing compounds of general formula (I) which may be applied to control arthropod, plant nematode, helminth or protozoan pests, may also contain synergists (e.g. piperonyl butoxide or sesamex), stabilizing substances, other insecticides, acaricides, plant nematocides, anthelmintics or anticoccidials, fungicides (agricultural or veterinary as apropriate e.g. benomyl, iprodione), bactericides, arthropod or vertebrate attractants or repellents or pheromones, reodorants, flavouring agents, dyes and auxiliary therapeutic agents. e.g. trace elements. These may be designed to improve potency, persistence, safety, uptake where desired, spectrum of pests controlled or to enable the composition to perform other useful functions in the same animal or area treated.
Examples of other pesticidally-active compounds which may be included in, or used in conjunction with, the compositions of the present invention are: acephate, chlorpyrifos, demeton-S-methyl, disulfoton, ethoprofos, fenitrothion, malathion, monocrotophos, parathion, phosalone, pirimiphos-methyl, triazophos, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, aldicarb, carbosulfan, methomyl, oxamyl, pirimicarb, bendiocarb, teflubenzuron, dicofol, endosulfan, lindane, benzoximate, cartap, cyhexatin, tetradifon, avermectins, ivermectin, milbemycins, thiophanate, trichlorfon, dichlorvos, diaveridine and dimetriadazole.
For their agricultural application, the compounds of the general formula (I) are therefore generally in the form of compositions, which are in various solid or liquid forms. Liquid compositions, may be used to treat substrates or sites infested or liable to infestation by arthropods including premises, outdoor or indoor storage or processing areas, containers or equipment and standing or running water.
Solid homogenous or heterogenous compositions containing one or more compounds of general formula (I) for example granules, pellets, briquettes or capsules, may be used to treat standing or running water over a period of time. A similar effect may be achieved using trickle or intermittent feeds of water dispersible concentrates as described herein.
Compositions in the form of aerosols and aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or dispersions suitable for spraying, fogging and low-or ultra-low volume spraying may also be used.
Solid forms of compositions which can be mentioned are dusting powders (with a content of the compound of general formula (I) capable of ranging up to 80%) or wettable powders or granules, particularly those obtained by extrusion, compacting, impregnation of a granular carrier, or granulation starting from a powder (the content of the compound of the formula (I) in these wettable powders or granules being between 0.5 and 80%).
Solutions, in particular emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, flowables, aerosols, wettable powders (or powder for spraying), dry flowables and pastes, can be mentioned as forms of compositions which are liquid or intended to form liquid compositions when applied.
The emulsifiable or soluble concentrates also comprise most frequently 5 to 80% of active ingredient, while the emulsions or solutions which are ready for application contain, in their case, 0.01 to 20% of active ingredient. Besides the solvent, the emulsifiable concentrates may contain, when required, 2 to 50% of suitable additives, such as stabilisers, surface-active agents, penetrating agents, corrosion inhibitors, colorants or adhesives.
Emulsions of any required concentration, which are particularly suitable for application to plants, may be obtained from these concentrates by dilution with water.
The concentrated suspensions, which can be applied by spraying, are prepared so as to produce a stable fluid product which does not settle (fine grinding) and usually contain from 10 to 75% of active ingredient, from 0.5 to 30% of surface-active agents, from 0.1 to 10% of thixotropic agents, from 0 to 30% of suitable additives such as anti-foaming agents, corrosion inhibitors, stabilisers, penetrating agents, adhesives and, as the carrier, water or an organic liquid in which the active ingredient is poorly soluble or insoluble; some organic solids or inorganic salts may be dissolved in the carrier to help prevent settling or as antifreezes for water.
The wettable powders (or powder for spraying) are usually prepared so that they contain 10 to 80% of active ingredient, and they usually contain, in addition to the solid carrier, from 0 to 5% of a wetting agent, from 3 to 10% of a dispersing agent and, when necessary, from 0 to 80% of one or more stabilisers and/or other additives such as penetrating agents, adhesives, or anti-caking agents, colorants, or the like.
To obtain these wettable powders, the active ingredient or ingredients is, or are, thoroughly mixed in suitable blenders with additional substances which may be impregnated on the porous filler and is, or are, ground using mills or other suitable grinders. This produces wettable powders, the wettability and the suspendability of which are advantageous; they may be suspended in water to give any desired concentration and this suspension can be employed very advantageously in particular for application to plant foliage.
The "water dispersible granules (WG)" (granules which are readily dispersible in water) have a composition which is substantially close to that of the wettable powders. They may be prepared by granulation of formulations described for the wettable powders, either by a wet route (contacting finely divided active ingredient with the inert filler and a little water, e.g. 1 to 20%, or with an aqueous solution of dispersing agent or binder, followed by drying and screening), or by a dry route (compacting followed by grinding and screening).
As already stated, the aqueous dispersions and emulsions, e.g. compositions obtained by diluting with water a wettable powder or an emulsifiable concentrate according to the invention, are included in the general scope of the compositions which may be employed in the present invention. The emulsions may be of the water-in-off or oil-in-water type and they may have a thick consistency.
All these aqueous dispersions or emulsions or spraying mixtures can be applied to the crops, by any suitable means, chiefly by spraying, at the rates which are generally of the order of 100 to 1,200 liters of spraying mixture per hectare.
The products and compositions according to the invention are conveniently applied to vegetation and in particular to roots or leaves having pests to be eliminated.
Another method of application of the compounds or compositions according to the invention is by chemigation, that is to say the addition of a formulation containing the active ingredient to irrigation water. This irrigation may be sprinkler irrigation for foliar pesticides or it can be ground irrigation or underground irrigation for systemic pesticides. The application dose of active ingredient is generally between 0.1 and 10 kg/ha, preferably between 0.5 and 4 kg/ha. More particularly the rates and concentrations may vary according to the method of application and the nature of the used compositions.
Generally speaking, the compositions for application to control arthropod, plant nematode, helminth or protozoan pests usually contain from 0.00001% to 95%, more particularly from 0.0005% to 50%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I) or of total active ingredients (that is to say the compound(s) of general formula (I) together with other substances toxic to arthropods and plant nematodes, anthelmintics, anticoccidials, synergists, trace elements or stabilisers). The actual compositions employed and their rate of application will be selected to achieve the desired effect(s) by the farmer, livestock producer, medical or veterinary practitioner, pest control operator or other person skilled in the art. Solid and liquid compositions for application topically to animals, timber, stored products or household goods usually contain from 0.00005% to 90%, more particularly from 0.001% to 10%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). For administration to animals orally or parenterally, including percutaneously solid and liquid compositions normally contain from 0.1% to 90% by weight of one or more compound of general formula (I). Medicated feedstuffs normally contain from 0.001% to 3% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Concentrates and supplements for mixing with feedstuffs normally contain from 5% to 90% and preferably from 5% to 50%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Mineral salt licks normally contain from 0.1% to 10% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I).
Dusts and liquid compositions for application to livestock, persons, goods, premises or outdoor areas may contain 0.0001% to 15%, and more especially 0.005% to 2.0%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Suitable concentrations in treated waters are between 0.0001 ppm and 20 ppm, and more especially 0.00 1 ppm to 5.0 ppm. of one or more compounds of general formula (I) and may also be used therapeutically in fish farming with appropriate exposure times. Edible baits may contain from 0.01% to 5% and preferably 0.01% to 1.0% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I).
When administered to vertebrates parenterally, orally or by percutaneous or other means, the dosage of compounds of general formula (I) will depend upon the species, age and health of the vertebrate and upon the nature and degree of its actual or potential infestation by arthropod, helminth or protozoan pest. A single dose of 0.1 to 100 mg, preferably 2.0 to 20.0 mg, per kg body weight of the animal or doses of 0.01 to 20.0 mg, preferably 0.1 to 5.0 mg, per kg body weight of the animal per day for sustained medication are generally suitable by oral or parenteral administration. By use of sustained release formulations or devices, the daily doses required over a period of months may be combined and administered to animals on a single occasion.
The following specific examples illustrate the agrochemical compositions containing the compounds of the invention, and thereafter the insecticidal and acaricidal applications and properties of some compounds.

PESTICIDAL METHODS OF USE EXAMPLES
In the following use EXAMPLES 35 TO 50, compounds according to the invention are applied at various concentrations. The use of a 1 ppm (concentration of the compound in parts per million of the test solution applied) foliar solution or suspension or emulsion corresponds approximately to an application of 1 g/ha of active ingredient, based upon an approximate spray volume of 1000 liters/ha (sufficient to run off). Thus in the following applications foliar sprays of from about 6.25 to 500 ppm would correspond to about 6-500 g/ha. For soil applications, a 1 ppm soft concentration, on the basis of about a 7.5 cm soil depth, corresponds to an approximate 1000 g/ha broadcast field application.
EXAMPLE 35
Activity on Aphid:
A mixture was made with:
0.01 g of active ingredient
0.16 g of dimethylformamide
0.838 g of acetone
0.002 g of a surfactant blend comprising both an alkyl arylpolyether alcohol and an alkylaryl polyether alcohol having sulfonic groups on the aryl moiety.
98.99 g of water
This diluted aqueous mixture was sprayed on potted dwarf nasturtium plants, whereon adults and nymphal stages of the buckthorn aphid (Aphis nasturtii) were reared The number of aphids per pot was 100-150.

EXAMPLE 47
Activity on Southern Corn Rootworm
A formulation was prepared in a similar manner to that used in EXAMPLE 35 except that in this case, only 48.99 g of water was used, providing an initial 200 ppm concentration of the test compound. Aliquots of this formulation were then used directly according to the required test concentration, in ppm (parts per million) by weight, according to the following test procedure.
Into a jar containing 60 g of sandy loam soil was added an aliquot of the 200 ppm test compound formulation (as appropriate for the final soil concentration of the test compound), 3.2 ml of water and five pregerminated corn seedlings. The jar was shaken thoroughly to obtain an even distribution of the test formulation. Following this, twenty southern corn rootworm eggs (Diabrotica undipunctata howardi) were placed into a cavity, which was made in the soil. Vermiculite (1 ml) and water (1.7 ml) were then added to this cavity. In a similar manner, an untreated control was prepared by application of the same size aliquot of a water-acetone-DMF emulsifier solution, containing no test compound. Additionally, a treated control with a commercial technical compound, formulated in the same manner, was used as a test standard. After 7 days, the living rootworm larvae were counted using a well known "Berlese" funnel extraction method.
The following compounds all provide 100% control at soil concentrations of 1.45, 0.72 and 0.36 ppm: compounds of EXAMPLES 3B, 4, and 17-19 and ASE No's 98, 99, 101, 105, 113, 119, 121, 124, 125, 130, 173, 195, 199, 203, 204, 205, 207, 209, 252, 260, 271, 272, 282, 300, and 302.
EXAMPLE 48
Activity on Mite Egg (Ovicide Test)
The same formulation as in EXAMPLES 35 was used. Eggs were obtained from adults of the twospotted spider mite from a stock culture. Heavily infested leaves from the stock culture were placed on uninfested bean plants. Females were allowed to oviposit for a period of about 24 hours, after which the leaves of the plant were dipped into a solution of TEPP (tetraethyl diphosphate) in order to kill the motile forms and prevent additional egg laying. This dipping procedure, which was repeated after the plants dried, did not affect the viability of the eggs. The potted plants (one pot per compound) were placed on a revolving turntable and sprayed, sufficient to wet the plants to runoff, with 100 ml of the 100 ppm test compound formulation by use of a DeVilbiss spray gun set at 40 psig, air pressure. As an untreated control, 100 ml of the water-acetone-DMF-surfactant solution, containing no test compound, were also sprayed on infested plants. A treated control with a commercial technical compound, typically demeton, formulated in the same manner, was tested as a standard. The sprayed plants were held for seven days, after which a mortality count of egg forms was made along with notations on residual activity on hatched larvae.
The percent mortality obtained was 70-100% for compounds of ASE No's 218, 219, 266, and 267.
EXAMPLE 49
Activity on Southern Root-knot Nematode
A stock solution or suspension was prepared by adding 15 mg of the test compound to 250 mg of dimethylformamide, 1250 mg of acetone and 3 mg of the surfactant blend referenced above in EXAMPLE 35. Water was then added to bring the total volume to 45 ml and a test compound concentration of 333 ppm. When necessary, sonication was provided to insure complete dispersion.
Infected roots of tomato plants, containing egg masses of southern root-knot nematode, (Meloidogyne incognita) were removed from a stock culture and cleaned of soil by shaking and washing with tap water. The nematode eggs were separated from the root tissue and rinsed with water. Samples of the egg suspension were placed on a fine screen over a receiving bowl, in which the water level was adjusted to be in contact with the screen. From the bowl, juveniles were collected on a fine screen. The bottom of a cone-shaped container was plugged with coarse vermiculite and then filled to within 1.5 cm of the top with about a 200 ml volume of pasturized soil. Then into a hole made in the center of the soft in the cone was pipetted an aliquot of the 333 ppm test compound formulation. A treated control with a commerical technical compound, fenamifos, formulated in a similar manner, was tested as a standard. As an untreated control, an aliquot of a water-acetone-DMF-surfactant solution, containing no test compound, was applied in a similar manner. Immediately after treatment of the soil with the test compound there were added to the top of each cone 1000 second stage juvenile southern root-knot nematodes. After 3 days, a single healthy tomato seedling was then transplanted into the cone. The cone, containing the infested soft and tomato seedling, was kept in the greenhouse for 3 weeks. At the termination of the test, roots of the tomato seedling were removed from the cone and evaluated for galling on a rating scale relative to the untreated control as follows:
1--severe galling, equal to untreated control
3--light galling
4--very light galling
5--no galling, ie, complete control
These results were then converted to an ED.sub.3 or ED.sub.5 value (effective dose to provide a 3 or 5 gall rating).
The compounds of ASE No's 71, 72, 73, 74, and 77 provided ED.sub.3 values of between 14.6 to 21 kg/ha.
EXAMPLE 50
Systemic Activity on Southern Armyworm:
The same formulation as in EXAMPLE 49 was used. This test was conducted in conjunction with the southern root-knot nematode evaluation (discussed above). The tomato plants, grown in the soft (at an initial compound test screening rate of 13.2 ppm soft concentration) for nematode evaluation, were then utilized for evaluation of a compound's uptake via roots and subsequent systemic transport to the tomato foliage. At the termination of the nematode test, the tomato foliage was excised, placed into a plastic container, and infested with second instar larvae of southern armyworm. After about 5 days, the larvae were examined for percent mortality, which in the case of compounds of ASE No's 174 and 200 was 50-100% at soil concentrations of between about 0.4-1.6 ppm.
