The expression "lower alkyl" as used herein comprises especially methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl and octyl as well as branched radicals, for example, isopropyl, t-butyl and 2,2-di~
methylpropyl.
In the definition of R5 the heteroatoms for the saturated hetero ring are suitably selected from ; oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.
The starting compounds of the general formula (II) are either known or may be obtained according to known methods. A compound of general formula (II), ' wherein Rl and R2 are methyl, is used in grea-t amounts as intermediate for the preparation of insecticides (Chem. Abstr. 71, 38941m (1969); 78 7211u (1973); 84, 10525u (1976); 85, 192700c (1976); 86, 51598j (1977)).
Although the effect of a ring-substitution with halogen or nitro groups is known in the field of agricultural chemlcals (see "Wirkstoffe in Pflanzenschuts- und Schadlingsbekampfungsmitteln", 1st edition 1982, Industrieverband Pflanzenschutz e.V.) and ring~halogenated reaction products from compounds of general formula (Ia) are claimed in patents, but not ; described (Austrian patent specifications 283 812 and , 296,983) ring-substituted derivatives of the ~eneral formula are not reported in the literature, with the exception of a product obtained by nitration of myristicinic aldehyde (J. Chem. Soc. 95, 1161 (1909)).
.

. 1233181 According to the process for the preparation of compounds of formula (Ia) a 4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodi oxol only can be halogenated or nitrated or first halo-genated and then nitrated or first nitrated and then halogenated resp. A ring-substituent in-troduced first can be substituted in a subsequent step by another substituent. The agents used for the halogenation or nitration resp. are such which are known per se for the reaction with aromatic hydrocarbons or phenols.
The following examples illustrate the invention without any limitation thereto. Temperatures are given in C.
Example 1: 19.2~ g of bromine are dropped slowly into a suspension of 10 g of 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol and 22 g oE NaHCO3 in 150 ml of carbon tetrachloride stirred at 0. The completed reaction can be seen by thin layer chromatography (TLC) (plate.
silicagel 60 F 254*, eluent: chloroform/methanol 9:1).
After filtration of the mixture the filtrate is evaporated on the rotary evaporator. The residue crystallizes on standing and is to be recrystallized from petrol ether. The obtained 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-5,7-dibromo-1,3-benzodioxol has a melting point o~ 59-61.

The sodium salt of this compound is obtained by adding an equivalent of a 30% solution of sodium methylate in methanol to a methanolic solution, evaporating the mixture a~d treating the solid residue with isopropylether. The dried sodium salt does not melt below 320, but only gets a brown color.
Example 2: 14.8 ml of a 65% nitric acid (D: 1.40) are added dropwise to a solution of 30 g of 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol in 600 ml of chloroform cooled at -5C, the temperature raising up to +2. The TLC
(plate: silicagel 60 F 254*, eluent: chloroform/
methanol 9:1) shows two new products, one appearing - ahove (5-nitro derivative) and the other closely below (7-nitro :' ' *trademar]c i ~33 1 ~ ~

derivative) the starting cornpound. The reaction is allowed to continue at 10 and then it is extracted 3--times with water, whereby begin-ning crystallization ~ay be o~served. By concentration of the solu-tion warmed up and filtered with activated carbon and celite the 5 more difficultly soluble 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-7-~itro-1,3-benzodi-oxol crystallizes out. AEter recrystallization from CHCl3 it melts at 193-195~.
For obtaining the 5-nitro derivative the CHCl3-mother liquor is evaporated to dryness and the residue is taken up into l0 isopropanol. Af-ter allowing the solution to stand in the cold the 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-5-nitro-1,3-benzodioxol crystallizes out and has a melting point of 150-151.
The posi-tion of the nitro groups can be seen from the N.M.R. spectra o~ the two isomers: Whereas the O~l-group of the ~15 5-nltro derivative shows in CDCl3 at 250 MHz a signal at 10,42 ppm, the OH-group of the 7-nitro compound gives under the same condltions a sliding resonance between 4,6 and 6,2 ppm.
When heated in aqueous solution both isomers give the ; knowr 4-nitrop~rogallol, m.p. 165-166 (literature m.p. i62") due 20 to hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring.
E x a m p l e 3: 2,4 ml of concentrated HNO3 are added dropwise to a solution of 5 g of the sodium salt of 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-5,7-dibromo-1,3-benzodioxol obtained according to Example 1 in 100 ml of chlorofor~ at 0 to 5. First a precipitate is obtained 25 which then substantially dissolves. The orange colored mixture is extracted several times with water, the chloro~orm phase is dried with Na2SO~, filtered with activa-ted carbon after stirring and evaporated in vacuo. The remaining oil crystallizes when stir-r~d ~1ith water. ~ ~er rec~ystall' zatJ on of tl;e crude product from acetic ester the ~,2-dinlethyl-q-hydroxy-5-nitro-7-bromo-1,3-bellzo-~.....

dioxol is obtained in form oE a yellow powder, m.p. 93-95.
The separation of bromide during the reaction can be proved by reaction with ~gNO3. The position of the group NO2 can be seen from the N.M.R. spectr~n (CDCl3, 250 MHz), since the adja-cent group OH shows a signal at 10,27 ppm ~see Example 2).E x a m p l e 4: A solution of 4 g of bromine in 20 ml CCl4 is dropped into a mixture of 3 g of the 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-7-nitro-1,3~benzodioxol, 7 g NaHCO3 and 200 ml CC14 stirred at 0.
After warming up to room temperature the mixture is allowed to stand over night. Then a complete reaction can be seen by thin layer chromatography. After filtration of inorganic material the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo and the crystalline residue is recrystallized from a small amount of chloroform. The obtained 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-5-bromo-7-nitro-1,3~benzodioxol melts at 185-188 after a crystal conversion at 155~.
If an aqueous solution of this compound is heated, due to hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring the same 4~~romo-6-nitro-pyro-gallol ~m.p. 133-135) is formed, which is obtained also by hydro-lysis of the isomer obtained according to Example 3.
E x a m p l e 5: 10 ml of 65 % HNQ3 are added dropwise to a solu-tion of 10 g of 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol in 100 ml of chloroform with stirring at 12 to 14; after 15 minukes at the same temperature additional 48 ml of 65 % HNO3 are added. Thin layer chromatography (see Example 2) shows that the mono-nitrated products formed first are converted into a product which appears sti].l below the 7-nitro-derivative.Aftera reaction time o further 15 minutes the chloroform solu-tion is extracted 3-times w:ith water, dried over Na2SO~ and the ~iltrate is evaporated in vacuo.

-5,7-dinitro-1,3-benzodioxol has a m.p. of 203-205.
E x a m p l e 6: 20 g of a powdered eation exehanger (having -COONa as active groups) are added to a solution of 10 gof 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol in 200 ml of CCl4 and a solu-tion of 5,4 ml sulfuryl chloride in 20 ml of CC14 is dropped inwith stirring at room temperature. After 3 hours also a solution of 2,7 ml of SO2Cl2 in 10 ml of CCl4 is dropped in. After stirring during further 3 hours thin la~er ehromatography (see Example 1) shows substantially complete reaetion. The solution sueked off from the ion exchanger is washed with water, dried over dry Na2SO4 and evaporated. By recrystallization of the residue from petrol ether with use of activated carbon the 2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol is obtained, m.p. 81-83.

a) when R in formula (I) represents hydrogen, treating a 4-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol of the general formula:
(II) wherein R1 and R2 are as defined above with at least one agent selected from halogenation and nitration agents appropriately chosen to effect the desired aromatic-nuclear substitution, or b) when R in formula (I) represents said group:
reacting a pyrogallol derivative of formula:
wherein X, Y, Z, R1 and R2 are as defined above, or a phenolate thereof, with a compound of the general formula wherein R3, R4 and n are as defined above, R5' has the meaning of R5 above or is a group CH.CN, and A is halogen, a sulfonyloxy group or, if R3 and R4 are hydrogen, n = 0 and R5 is a group CH.CN, A is a double bond with the adjacent carbon atom, optionally converting the group R5 in the product to a different group R5, and, if X and/or Y and/or Z are hydrogen, optionally treating the compound so obtained with at least one agent selected from halogenation and nitration agents.
