R2 is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, substituted phenyl wherein said substituents are selected from methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl, methoxy, ethoxy and dimetylamino; phenalkyl and substituted phenalkyl wherein said substituents are selected from chlorine, methyl, i-propyl and methoxy.

Description

~08161S

Bac~round of the Invention Among the many insecticidal compounds, the phthalimidio-thiophosphates have reached a relatively high degree of commercial success. These compounds are ~oxic to a large number of insect pests at different concentrations varying with the resistance of the insects mentioned. Some of these compounds are described in U.S. Patent No. 2,767,194, specifically N-(mercaptomethyl) phthalimide-S-(0,0-dimethylphosphorodithioate).
The endeavor to extend the usefulness of the thiophos-phates by increasing their effectiveness and lowering the cost has led to extensive studies on another class of biologically active chemicals, customarily referred to as synergists. Among the many synergists employed, the alkyl oxides, specifically, piperonyl butoxide, have been widely used. These compounds are described in U.S. Patent No. 2,485,681 and 2,550,737.

Detailed D ____~tion of the Invention It has been discovered that the thiophosphate compounds having insecticidal activity can be increased by using an activator having the formula ISl ~ -R

wherein R is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl and i-butyl; ~ is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl and i-butyl; R2 is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, substituted phenyl wherein said substituents are selected from methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl, methoxy J ethoxy and dimethylamino; phenalkyl and substituted phenalkyl wherein said substituents are selected from chlorine, methyl, i-propyl and methoxy.
These compounds are manufactured by reactin~ an appropriate phenol or phenalkyl compound with certain haloalkyl - phosphoro derivatives. After the end products are achieved, they are isolated and purified and admixed with the insecticidal compound. The amount of activator admixed therewith can range between about 1 to 0.1 to about 1 to 10 parts insecticidal com-pound to activator compound. After the insecticidal compound and activator compound are mixed together, they are applied to the habitat of the insect in a conventional manner.
In order to illustrate the merits of the present invention, the following examples are provided:

Example 1 O.O-Di~ethYl-O-phenYl phosphorothioate To a solution of 9.4 grams (0.1 mole) phenol in lOO ml tetrahydrofuran was added 4.4 grams (0.11 mole) powered NaOH
stirred until clear. A solution of 16.0 grams (0.1 mole) OJO-dimethyl phosphorochloridothioate in 25 ml tetrahydrofuran was added slowly to the sodium phenylate solution and refluxed for 30 minutes. Benzene (100 ml) was added to the mixture.
The resulting mixture was washed with 10% NaOH and twice with H20, dried over anhydrous MgS04 and the volitiles removed under reduced pressure to yield 2002 grams N30 1.5327.

-lQ-0 ~ 1 61 5 Insecticidal Evaluation A. Hou~efly lMusca dome~tica (L.)] (HF) The following procedure was used to test both 9US-ceptible and S-chlorothion resistant houseflies. Stock solutions containing lOO~ug/ml of the toxicant and 500Jug/ml of the activator are prepared using appropriate solvents. Toxicant and activator are combined in a 1 part toxicant: 5 parts activator ratio by adding equal aliquots of the stock solutions to one ml of a 0.2%
peanut oil in acetone spreading solution in a glass Petri dish 60 mm in diameter, The toxicant/activator film residue forms in the Petri dish as the solvents evaporate. The Petri dishes are placed in a circular cardboard cage, closed on the bottom with cellophane and covered on top with cloth netting. Twenty-five female houseflies are introduced into the cage and the percent mortality is recorded after 48 hours. LD-50 values are expressed in terms of~ug of toxicant per 25 ~ flies. The aliquots are varied to achieve desired toxicant/activator concentrations ran8ing from lOO~ug toxicant/500 ug activator per Petri dish to that at which 50qO mortality is obtained, Controls are identical to the above with the exception that the activator is omitted.
~, Black Bean Aphid ~Aphis fabae (Scop.)l (BBA) Nasturtium (Tropaeolum sp.) plants, approximately 2-3 inches tall, are transplanted into sandy loam soil in 3-inch clay pots and infe~ted with 50-75 aphids of mixed ages. Twenty-four hours later they are sprayed, to the point of runoff, with aqueous suspensions of the toxicant formulated as a 50 wettable powder and activator. The suspensions are prepared in equal alinuots of the toxicant and activator dissolved in tap water and diluted in a tap water solution. Test concentrations for both toxicant and activator ranged from 0.05% to that at which 5~/0 mortality is obtained. Mortality ~s recorded after 48 hours and the LD-50 values are expressed as percent ac~ive ingredient in the solutions.
C. Salt-marsh Caterpillar [EstiRmene acrea (Drury)]
(SMC) Test solutions are prepared by dissolving equal aliquots of the toxicant and activator in a 50-50 acetone-water solution. Sectlons of bitter dock (Rumex obtusifolius) leaves, 1-1.5 inches in length are immersed in the test solutions for 1-2 seconds and placed on a wire screen to dry. The dried leaf is placed on a moistened piece of filter paper in a Petri dish and infested with five third-instar larvae. Mortality of the larvae is recorded after 48 hours and the LD-50 values are expressed as per cent toxicant in the acetone-water solutions.
D. Cabbage Looper [Trichoplusia _] (CL) Same as Salt-marsh Caterpillar (C), except that leaves of white cabbage (Brassica oleracla) are utilized as the host plant rather than bitter dock.
E. Tobacco Budwonm ~Heliothis virescens (F.)~ (TBW) S~e as the Salt-marsh Caterpillar (C), except that leaves of Romaine lettuce (Latuca sativa) are utilized as the host plant rather than bitter dock.
F. Beet Armyworm [Spodoptera exiqua (Hubner)~ (BAW) Same as the Salt-marsh Caterplllar (C), except that leaves of Romaine lettuce (Latuca sativa) are utilized as the host plant rather than bitter dock.

1081f~15 Activatin~ Factor The Activating Factor is arrlved at by using the following formula from the expected response for a given com-bination of two insecticides:

A.F. - LD50 of Toxicant (~ 2 Experimental LD50 of Combination X ~ The ratio of the % or weight of the synergist to the % or weight of the toxicant.

Y - The ratio of ~he LD50 of the toxicant to the LD50 of the synergist.

The experimental LD50 of the combination is in tenms of ~he toxicant only.
The activating factor is, therefore, the ratio of the expected LD50 of the combination divided by the experimental It is noted that when the observed response is greater than the expected, the Activating Factor is greater than one.
This response is ~ynergism.

The compositions of this invention are generally embodied into a form suitable for convenient application. For example, the compositions can be embodied into pesticidal formulations which are provided in the form of emulsions, suspensions, solutions, dusts, and aerosol sprays. In general, such formulations will contain, in addition to the active compound, the adjuvants which are found normally in pesticide preparations. In these formulations, the active compounds of this invention can be employed as the sole pesticide component or they can be used in admixture with other compounds having similar utility. The pesticide for~ulations 10 8 ~ ~1 5 of this invention can contain, as ad~uvants, organic solvent~, such as sesame oil, xylene range solvents, heavy petroleum, etc.; water;
emulcifying agents; surface active agents; talc; pyrophyllite, diatomite; gypsum; clays; propellants, such as dichlorodifluoro-methane, etc. If desired, however, the active compositions can be applied directly to feedstuffs, seeds, etc., upon which the pests feed. Then applied in such a manner, it will be advantageous to use a composition which is not volatile. In connection with the activity of the presently disclosed pesticidal compositions, it should be fully understood that it i9 not necessary that they be active as such. The purposes of this invention will be fully served if the composition is rendered active by external influences, such as light, or by some physiological action which occurs when the compound is ingested into the body of the pest.
The precise manner in which the pesticidal compositions of this invention are used in any particular instance will be readily apparent to a person skillet in the art.
