Claims
- 1. A compound of the formula: ##STR4## in which: (a) R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are hydrogen and R.sub.4 is selected from C.sub.1-C.sub.2 alkyl, bromo, methylthio, C.sub.2- C.sub.4 polyfluoroalkenylthio having two fluorine atoms appended to a terminally double bonded carbon atom, formyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.2 alkoxycarbonyl, and dimethylphosphono;
- (b) R.sub.1 is lower alkyl, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen, and R.sub.4 is C.sub.1-C.sub.2 alkyl, chloro, or hydrogen when R.sub.1 contains three or four carbon atoms;
- (c) R.sub.1 is halogen, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or halogen, R.sub.3 is hydrogen, and R.sub.4 is selected from hydrogen when R.sub.2 is halogen or when R.sub.2 is hydrogen and R.sub.1 is fluoro, 2-chloro, or 3-chloro; chloro when R.sub.1 is a halogen other than chloro; C.sub.1-C.sub.2 alkyl; and benzoyl;
- (d) R.sub.1 is trifluoromethyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.2 alkoxy, C.sub.1-C.sub.2 polyfluoroalkoxy, polyfluoroethenyloxy, or phenoxy and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together for a 13 C.sub.4 H.sub.4-- group bridging adjacent carbon ring atoms; R.sub.3 is hydrogen, and R.sub.4 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl.
- 2. The compound of claim 1, 5'-methyl-5-phenyl.
- 3. The compound of claim 1, 5'-methyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl) [2,2'-bithienyl].
- 4. The compound of claim 1, 5'-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl) [2,2'-bithienyl].
- 5. The compound of claim 1, 5'-methyl-5-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)[2,2'-bithienyl].
- 6. An acaricidal composition comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and an acaricidally effective amount of a compound of claim 1.
- 7. The acaricidal composition of claim 6 in which the active ingredient is selected from 5'-methyl-5-phenyl-[2,2'-bithienyl]; 5-methyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl) 2,2[-bithienyl]; 5'-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)[2,2'bithienyl]; and 5-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)[2,2-bithienyl].
