Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters of the formula

Description

The present invention relates to cyclopropanecarboxylic acid es~ers, to processes ~or producing them and to their use in combating pests.
The cyclopropanecarboxylic acid ~sters have the forrnula X o Rl, ~
` & = CH -- CH -- CH -- C -- O -- CH -~ (I) wherein X and Y each represent chlorine, fluorine or bromine, Kl represents Cl-CS-alkyl, and R2 represents hydrogen or methyl. The alkyl,groups represented by Rl can be straight-chain or branched-chain. ~xamples of such groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n~ , sec.-, tert.-butyl, n pentyl and isomers thereof. Compounds of the formula I preferred on account of their action are those wherein X and Y are identical and represent fluorine, chlorine or bromine, and Rl and R2 each represent methyl.
The compounds of the formula I are produced by methods known per se, for example as follows:

.

Y /C agent C~3 R2 ~IV) ' lV) J \C C ll C H - C H -C -O H ~ I10- C II ~ ~
Y C water-binding agent (IV) ~III) In the formulae II, III, IV and V, the symbols Rl, R2, X
and Y have the meanings given under the formula I, and "Hal"
represents a halogen atom, particularly chlorine.
Suitable acid-binding agents for the processes 1 and 2 are, in particular, tertiary amines such as trialkylamines and pyridine, also hydroxides, oxides and carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals, and alkali metal alcoholates such as potassium-t.-butylate and sodium methylate.' The water-binding agent used for the process 3 can be, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The processes 1, 2 and 3 are performed at a reaction temperature of between -10 and 100C, usually between 20 and 80C, at normal or elevated pressure and preferably in an inert solvent or diluent.

~"
., . - ~

Suitable solvents or dil~tents are, e.g., ethers and ethereal compounds such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, dioxane, dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran; amides such as N,N-dialkylated carboxylic acid amides; aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, especially benzene, toluene, xylene, chloroform and chlorobenzene; nitriles such as acetonitrile;
dimethylsulphoxide and ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. The process 2 can be performed also in an aqueous solution.
The starting materials of the ormulae II to V are known or can be produced by methods analogous to known methods.
The compounds of the formula I are obtained as mixtures of various optica]ly active compounds and cis/trans isomers, unless the starting materials used to produce the sai.d compounds are homogeneous optically active compounds or cis/trans isomers.
The di~ferent isomeric mixtures can be separated by known methods into the homogeneous isomers. It is understood that ~`
the term compounds of the ormula I embraces both the individual isomers and the mixtures thereof. The compo~mds of the ormula I
are suitable or combating various animal and plant pests.
They can thus be used for combating mites and ticks, for example of the genera Tetranychus and Panonychus, and the families Dermanyssidae and Ixodidae. They are however in particular suitable for combating insects, e.g. of the families:

", , - . . . . . . .

Tettigoniidae, Gryllidae, Gryllotalpidae, Blattidae, Reduviidae, Pyrrhocoridae, Cimicidae, Delphacidae, Aphididae, Diaspididae, Pseudococcidae, Scarabaeidae, Dermestidae, Coccinel]idae, Tenebrionidae, Chrysomelidae, Bruchidae~ Tineidae, Noctuidae, Lymantriidae, Pyralidae, Culicidae, Tipulidae, S~omoxydae, Trypetidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae and Pulicidae. The compounds of the formula I are especially suitable for combating insects that damage plants, particularly insects that damage plants by eating, in crops of ornam~ntal plants and useful plants, especially in cotton crops (e.g. against Spodoptera littoralis and Heliothis virescens) and in crops of vegetables (e.g. against Leptinotarsa decemlinea-ta and Myzus persicae). Active substances of the formula I also have a very good action against flies, such as Musca domes~ica, and against mosqui~o larvae.
The acaricidal and insPcticidal action can be substantially broadened and adapted to suit given circumstances by the addition of other insec~icides and/or acaricides. Suitable additives are, e.g., organic phosphorus compounds; nitrophenols and derivatives thereof; formamidines; ureas; other pyrethrin-like compounds; as well as carbamates and chlorinated hydro-carbons.
Compo-tnds of the formula I are combined particularly _ 5 _ .. . ...

,, advantageously also with substances which have a synergistic or intensifying effect on pyrethroids. Examples of such compounds are, inter alia, piperonylbutoxide, propynyl ~thers, propynyl oximes, propynyl carbamates and propynyl phosphonates, 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxy) 3,6,9-trioxaundecane (Sesamex or Sesoxane~, S,S,S~ributylphosphorotrithioates and 1,2-methylenedioxy-4-(2-(octylsulphonyl)-propyl)-benzene.

The compounds of the formula I can be used on their own or together with suitable carriers and/or additives.
Suitable additives can be solid or liquid and they correspond to the substances common in formulation practice, such as natural or regenerated substances, solvents, dispersing agents, wettlng agents, adhesives, thickeners, binders and/or fertilisers.

Example 2 A) Insecticidal stomach~ ion Tobacco and potato plants were sprayed with a 0.05%
aqueous active-substance emulsion (obtained from a 10%
emulsifiable concentrate).
After drying of the coating~ caterpillars of Spodoptera littoralis in the L3 stage and of Heliothis virescens in the L3-stage were placed on the tobacco and potato plants.
The test was carried out at 24C with 60% relative humidity.
Compounds according to Example 1 exhibited in the above test a good insecticidal stomach poison action against Spodoptera littoralis and Heliothis virescens caterpillars.

B) Insecticidal contact action -- ~ .
One day before application of the active-substance emulsion, broad beans (Vicia faba) grown in pots were infested with about 200 bean aphids (Aphis fabae) per plant.
The spray emùlsion at a concentration of lO00 ppm (prepared from a 25% wettable powder) was applied by means of a compressed-air sprayer to the leaves infested with aphids.
An evaluation was made 24 hours after application. Compounds according to Example 1 exhibited in the above ~est a good contact action against Aphis fabae.

-Example 3 Acaricidal action -Phaseolus vulgaris (bush beans) were infested, 12 hours before the test for acaricidal action, with an infested piece of leaf from a mass culture of Tetranychus urticae.
The transferred mobile stages were sprayed with the emulsified test preparations from a chromatography-sprayer in a manner ensuring no overflow of the spray liquor. An assessment was made after 2 to 7 days, by examination under a binocular microscope, of the living and of the dead larvae, adults and eggs, and the results were expressed as percentages.
The treated plants were kept during the "holding time" in greenhouse compartments at 25C.

Compounds according to Example 1 exhibited a good action in the above test against adults, larvae and eggs of Tetranychus urticae.
