Claims
- 1. A substituted 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-5-nitro-pyrimidine of the formula (I) ##STR144## wherein Het represents ##STR145## R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent ethylene or propylene, A represents ethylene, propylene or butylene, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen or by phenyl, or represents cyclohexylene,
- R.sub.3 represents ##STR146## wherein R.sup.6 represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, or an amino radical, and
- X represents sulphur or oxygen.
- 2. An insecticidal or ectoparasiticidal composition comprising an amount of a compound according to claim 1 effective for combatting said insects or ectoparasites and an inert carrier.
- 3. A method of combatting insects or ectoparasites comprising the step of administering or applying to said insects or ectoparasites or to an environment from which it is desired to exclude said insects or ectoparasites an amount of a compound of claim 1 effective for combatting said insects or ectoparasites.
- 4. A process for the preparation of a substituted 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-5-nitro-pyrimidine of claim 1, comprising the step of reacting a nitromethylene derivative of the formula (II) ##STR147## wherein Het, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined in claim 1, with an amine of the formula (III),
- H.sub.2 N--A--R.sup.3 (III)
- wherein
- A and R.sup.3 are as defined in claim 1,

- 6. The process of claim 4 wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of a diluent.
- 7. The process of claim 4 wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of an acidic catalyst and a diluent.
- 8. A nitromethylene derivative of the formula (IVb) ##STR148## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent propylene, and
- A represents ethylene, propylene or butylene, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen or by phenyl, or represents cyclohexylene.
- 9. A nitromethylene derivative of the formula (IVc) ##STR149## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent propylene, and
- A represents ethylene, propylene or butylene, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen or by phenyl, or represents cyclohexylene.
- 10. A nitromethylene derivative of the formula (IVd) ##STR150## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent propylene, and
- Z represents ##STR151##
