Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure Cyclopropane carboxylic acid esters of the formula

Description

.

This invention relates to cyclopropane carboxylic acid esters and their use as pesticides.
According to the present invention, there are provided compounds of the formula I

~ C=CH-CH - CH-COOCH~-CII=C-C~2 ~ (1 ÇH3 C~3 : ' wberein Xl represents a chlorine, fluorine or bromine atom and X2 represents a fluorine or bromine atom.
The compounds of formula I can be prepared by .
process analogaus to ~nown methods for example by reacting a compound of the formula II

~7 61 3 5 wherein X represents a halogen atom, i~ particular a chlorine or bromine atom, in the presence of a base such as a tertiary amine, for example a trialkylamlne or pyridine, or a hydroxide, oxide, carbonate or b~carbonate of an alkali metal and alkaline earth metal, or an alkali metal alcoholate, for exa~ple potassium ~;
tert.butylate or sodium methylate.
The process is carried out at a reaction temperature generally between -10 and 100C, pre~erably between 20 and 80C, at normal or elevated pressure, ~ ~
and preferably in a solvent or diluent which is inert ~ `
: .:
to the reactants.
~ xamples of suitable solvents or diluents that may be used are: ethers and ethereal compounds, for example diethyl ether, dipropyl e her, dioxan, d~methoxy ethane, tetrahydrofuran; amides, for example N,N-diethylated carboxy amides; aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, especially b~nzene, toluene, xylene, chloroform, chlorobenzene; nitriles, for example acetonitrile; dimethyl sulfoxide; and ~etones, for example acetone, methylethyl ketone.
The starting materials of formulae II and III are known and can be prepared by methods analogous to known methods.
The compounds of formula I occur in different optically active and cis/trans-isomeric forms. If therefore individual isomers are not used asstarting materials, then 1~37f~13S
"_ ~
_ 4 _ racemic and/or cis/trans-iso~eric mixtures are r.ecessarily obtained.
The different isomeric mixtures obtained can be separated into the individual isomeric for~s t for example by recrystallis~tion or by means of chromatographic separating met~ods, for example by gas chro~atography or by adsorption o~ a separating material with selective ~adsorption activity, such as silica gel or aluminium oxide, and subsequently eluting the separated iso~ers with a suitable sol~ent.
T~e compounds of formula I co~prise both the lndividual optically active isomers and cis- or trans-isomers 2nd mixtures thereof~
The compounds of the formuIa I are suitable for controlling a variety of animal and plant pests. In partic-ular, the compounds of the formula I are suitable for con-trolling insects, phytopathogenic mites and ticks, for example of the orders: Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Homoptera, ~; Heteroptera, Diptera, Acarina, Thysanoptera, Orthoptera, Anoplura, Siphonaptera, Mallophaga, Thysanura, Isoptera, Psocoptera and Hymenoptera.
In particular, the compounds of the formula I are suitable for controlling insects which are harmful to plants, especially insects which damage plants by eating, in ornam-entals and crops of useful plants, especially in cotton plantations (e.g. Spodoptera littoralis and Heliothis virescens) and in vegetable crops (for example Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Myzus persicae).

The active compounds of the formula I also have a very good action against flies, for example Musca do~estica and mosquito larvae.
The insecticidal and/or acaricidal action can be substan-tially broadened and adapted to prevailing circumstances by addition of other insecticides and/or acaricides. Examples of suitable additives include: organic phosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives thereof, form~midines, ureas, pyethroids, carbamates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Compounds of the formula I are also combined with parti-cular advantage with substances which exert a synergistic or potentiating effect on pyrethroids. Examples of such com-pounds include: piperonyl butoxide, propynyl ether~propynyl oximes, propynyl carbamates and propynyl phosphonates, 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxy)-3,6,9~trioxaundecane (Sesamex or Seso~ane), S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate, 1,2-Methy-lenedioxy-4(2-(octylsulphonyl)-propyl)-benzene.
The compounds of the formula I may be used as pure acti-ve substance or together with suitable carriers and/or addi-tives. Suitable carriers and additives can be solid or liquld and correspond to the substances conventionally used in the art of formulation, for example natural or regenerated sub-stances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, thickeners, binders and/or fertilisers.
~; The compositions of the pr~sent invention are m~tnufac-tured in known manner by homogeneously mixing and/or grin-ding active substances of the formula I with the suitable carriers, with or without the addition of dispersants or solvents which are inert to the active substances.
The compounds of the for~ula I may be processed to the following formulations:

Example 3 ::
Insecticidal action against Musca domestica A given amount of a solution of the active substance in acetone (concentration of active substance =
0.05%) was pipetted onto 50 g of maggot substrate in beakers. After the treated substrate had been thoroughly -mixed, the acetone was allowed to evaporate off over the course of at least 20 hours.
25 one day-old maggots were then put into each ~ -beaker. After 5 days the pupae were flushed out and --deposited in the same beaker. Mortality was determined after 10 days. In this test the compounds of Example 1 acted well against Musca domestica. ~ -~: ' , , " , .. :
