wherein the variables are as defined below. The invention also relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) as an agrochemical pesticide; to pesticidal mixtures comprising a compound of formula (I) and another agrochemically active ingredient; to agrochemical or veterinary compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) or the pesticidal mixture and a liquid or solid carrier; and to seed comprising a compound of formula (I) or the pesticidal mixture. The invention also relates to methods for controlling invertebrate pests, infestation, or infection by invertebrate pests by application of the compounds of formula (I) or the pesticidal mixtures comprising them.


Invertebrate pests and in particular insects, arachnids and nematodes destroy growing and harvested crops and attack wooden dwelling and commercial structures, thereby causing large economic loss to the food supply and to property. Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for new agents for combating invertebrate pests.


WO2017/167832A1 discloses bicyclic compounds and their use as agrochemical pesticides, whereas tricyclic compounds are not described.


Due to the ability of target pests to develop resistance to pesticidally active agents, there is an ongoing need to identify further compounds, which are suitable for combating invertebrate pests such as insects, arachnids and nematodes. Furthermore, there is a need for new compounds having a high pesticidal activity and showing a broad activity spectrum against a large number of different invertebrate pests, especially against difficult to control insects, arachnids and nematodes. There is furthermore a need to find compounds that display a higher efficacy as compared with known pesticides, which reduces the application rates and costs for the applicant, and decreases the environmental effects on soil and ground water.


It is therefore an object of the present invention to identify and provide compounds, which exhibit a high pesticidal activity and have a broad activity spectrum against invertebrate pests.


It has been found that these objects can be achieved by substituted tricyclic compounds of formula I as depicted and defined below, including their stereoisomers, their salts, in particular their agriculturally or veterinarily acceptable salts, their tautomers and their N-oxides.


Therefore, the invention provides in a first aspect compounds of formula (I), or an agrochemically or veterinarily acceptable salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, or N-oxide thereof

All variables in formulae (LIII), (LIV) and (LV) have a meaning as defined for formula (I). Reactions of this type have been described in WO2016162318A1. The reaction is typically carried out at a temperature of from 15 to 60° C. in an inert solvent in the presence of a base. Suitable solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, or petrol ether; or aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, o-, m-, and p-xylene. Mixtures of the above solvents are also possible. Suitable bases are, in general, inorganic bases, preferably alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydrides, such as LiH, NaH, KH and CaH2; organic bases, preferably secondary amines, such as pyrrolidine; or tertiary amines, such as diisopropylethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, triisopropylamine and N-methylpiperidine, imidazol, pyridine; substituted pyridines, such as collidine, lutidine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and polycyclic amides and amidines, such as 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU), 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO); or alkali metal salts of secondary amines, such as alkali diisopropylamide, alkali bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, alkali tetramethylpiperidene; alcoholates, such as alkali methanolate, alkali ethanolate, alkali isopropanolate, alkali tert-butanolate; alkali metal—alkyl, and alkali metal—aryl salts, such as n-butyl lithium, tert-butyl lithium, phenyl lithium. The base is typically reacted with compounds of formula (LIV) before compounds of formula (LIII) are added to form the thiolate anion. The bases are generally employed in catalytic amounts; however, they can also be used in equimolar amounts, in excess or, if appropriate, as solvent. The compound (LV) was then subjected for the oxidation of “S” to achieve the compound (XX). By using the similar reaction protocol described in process 12 step 1, compounds (XXXIX), (XLII), (XLVI), and (XLIX) can be reacted separately with (LII) to generate (LVI), (LVII), (LVIII), and (LIX) respectively.

Synthesis Example A
Example 1: 2-(3-ethylsulfonylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethoxy)imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline (compound C-4)
Step 1: Synthesis of N-methyl-3-nitro-8-(trifluoromethoxy)quinolin-4-amine

To a solution of 4-chloro-3-nitro-8-(trifluoromethoxy)quinoline (4 g) in THF (40 mL), at 20 to 25° C., was added methylamine (40 mL, 2M solution in THF). The reaction mixture was then warmed to 50° C. and stirred for 1 h. Reaction was monitored by TLC, after the complete conversion of 4-chloro-3-nitro-8-(trifluoromethoxy)quinoline, the reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, to afford a residue containing N-methyl-3-nitro-8-(trifluoromethoxy)quinolin-4-amine (3.9 g, 100% yield), which was used in Step 2 without further purification. Similar procedure is described in WO 2008117225. HPLC-MS (Method A): mass found for C11HF3N3O3 [M+H]+ 287.8; tR=0.791 min.


Step 2: Synthesis of N4-methyl-8-(trifluoromethoxy)quinoline-3,4-diamine
