, Compounds of formula I meriting special interest on account of their activity are tho~e wherein R1 and R2 are simultaneoufily fluorine or chlorine and, independently of each other, are methyl, methoxy or methyl~hio, and, in partlcular, tho~e compound~ wherein Rl and R2 are simultaneously fluorine or chlorine, preferably fluorine.

Further preferred compounds of formula I are those wherein R3 i~ one of the radicals -CHF2, -CF3, -CF2CHF2, -CH2CF3, -CF2CHClF, -CF2CHCl2, -CF2CCl3, -CF2CHBrz, -CF2CHBrF, -CF2C~lBr2, -CH2CHBrCH2Br, -CF(CF3)CHFCF3, -CF2CHFCF(CF3)2, -CF2CHF~CF2)4CF3 or ~CF2-~F2 in partlcular those compounds wherein R3 is one of the radicals -CF2CHF2, -CF2CHFCl, -CF2CHCl2 or -CFzCCl3. Those compound3 of formula I wherein R3 ifi Cs-C7haloalkyl containing 1 to 15 halogen atoma are also interefiting.

The compounds of formula I can be prepared by 1nethods analogous to onefi known per ~e (q.v. for example German Offenlegungsschrift speciications 2 123 236, 2 601 780 and 3 240 975).

l'hus, for example, a compound of formula I can be obtained by reacting a) a compound of formula II
~1 R3-O-~ -NH2 (II) with a compound of formula III

~1 CO-N~C~O (III) ~ 2 or b) a compound of formula IY

R3-O~ -N~C~O (IV) with a compound of formula V
~1 -CO-NHz (V) 1~2 or c) a compound of formula II w~th a compound of formula VI

~z In formulae II to VI above, Rl, R2 and R3 are a~ defined for formula I, and R 1~ a Cl-Caalkyl radical which 19 unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, preferably chlorine.

The sbove processes a), b~ and c) can preferably be carried out under normal pressure and in the presence of an organic 301vent or dil~ent. Examples of suitable solvents or diluenta are: ether~ and ethereal co~pounds, such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, dibutyl ether, dloxane, dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran; N,N-dialkylatad carboxamides; aliphatic, aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, i3 especially benzene, toluene, xylene, chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachlorlde and chlorobenzene; nltriles such 88 aceto-nitrile or propionitrile; dimethyl sulfoxlde; and ketones, e.g.
acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl iiopropyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Process a) i8 normally carried out in the tempera-ture range from -10 to ~200C, preferably from O to 100C, e.g at room temperature, and, if desired in the presence of an organic base 7 e.g. trlethylamine. Process b) i~ carried out in the tempera-ture range from 0 to 150C, preferably at the boiling point of the solvent employed and, lf desired, in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine, and/or with the addition of an alkali metal or alkalin0 earth metal, preferably sodium. Fo~ process c), i.e. for the reaction of the urethanP of formula VI with an aniline of formula II, a temperature range from about 60 to the boiling point of the reactlon mixture i9 preferred, and the solvent employed i9 preferably an aromatlc hydrocarbon auch as toluene, xylene, chloro-benzene and the like.

The staxting materisls of formulae III and V are known and can be prepared by methods analogous to known ones. The starting materials of formula II are novel compounds which likewise constitute an ob~ect of the present invention. The compounds of formula II can be prepared in a manner known per se by hydrogenating suitably substltuted nitrobenzenes of formula VII
gl R3-O~ NO2 (VII) Cl by a process analogous to that described in J. Org. Chem. 29 (1964), 1, (q.v. also the literature cited therein). Ho~ever, the anillnes of formula II can also be obtained by chemicsl reduction (e.g. with Sn(II) chlorldel~Cl) of the corresponding nitro compounds of fol~ula YII (q.v. Houben-Weyl, "Methodcn d. org. Chemie" 11/1, 422).
The nitro compounds of formula VII can be prepared by h~lo-alkylating 2,5-dichloro-4-nitrophenol. A further proces~ for the ~2~ 3 preparation of the anilinas of formula II comprises haloalkylating acylated 2,5-dlchloro-4-hydroxyaniline and then removing the acyl group, e.g. by acid hydrolysis.

Benzoylisocyanates of formula III can be obtained, inter alia, as follows (q.v. J. A~r. Food Chem. 21, 348 and 993; 1973):

~ ~'-C 5 N HzS04M 20 ~ 0~ ~--CO-NHz ~Z ~2 CO-N-C-O (III) .

The 4-haloal~oxyphenyli30cyanates of formula IV can be prepared e.g. by phosgenating the anillnes of formula II by methods whlch are commonly employed in the art. The benazmides of formula V wh~ch are further used as starting materials are known (q.v. for example BeilstQin "Handbuch der organiscl)en Chemie'~, Vol. 9, p. 336).

Urethanes of formula VI can be obtalned in a manner known par se by reacting a ben~oyli~ocyanate of formula III with a suitable alcohol or by reactlng a benzamide of formula V, in the presence of a base, with a corresponding ester of chloroformic acid Cl-COOR.

Surprislngly, it has been found that the compounds of this inven-tion and the salts thereof have excellent propertia3 as pesticides while being well tolerated by plantg and having low toxicity to WarM blooded animals. They are particularly suitable for controlling insects and rapresentatives of the order Acarina that attack plants and animals.

In particular, the compounds of formula I are suitable for control-ling insects of the orders: Lepidoptera9 Coleoptera, Homoptera, Heteroptera, Diptera, Thysanoptera, Orthoptera, Anoplura, Siphonaptera, ;i3 Mallophaga, Thysanura, Igoptera, Psocoptera and Hymenoptera, a3 well a9 representatives of the order Acarina of the families: Ixodldae, ~rgasidae, Tetranychldae and Dermanyssidae.

In addition to their action against flies, e.g. Musca domestica, and mosquito larvae, the compounds of formula I are also suitable for controlling plan~-destructive feeding insects in ornamentals and crops of useful plants, especially in cotton (8.g. against Spodoptera littoralis and Heliothis virescens) and in fruit and vegetables (e.g. against Laspeyresia pomonella, Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Epilachna varivestis). T~e compounds of formula I have a pronounced ovicidal and, in particular, larvicidal action against insect3, especially against larvae of noxious feeding insects. If compounds of formula I are ingested by adult insect stages with the feed, then a diminished oviposition and/or reduced hatching rate is observed in many insects, especially ln Coleopterae, e.g. Anthonomus grandis.

The compounds of formula I can also be used for controlling ecto-parasite~ such as Lucllia sericata, in domestic animals and produc-tive livestock, e.g. by troating animals, cowshed~, barns, stables etc., and paAtures.

The compounds of formula I are also sultable or controlling the following species of mites which attack crops of fruit and vegetables:
Tetranychus usticae, Tetranychus clnnabarinus, Panonychus ulmi, Broybia rubrioculus, Panonychus citri, Eriophyes piri, Eriophyes ribis, Eriophyes vitis, Tarsonemus pallidus, Phyllocoptes vitis and Phyllocoptruta oleivora.

The good pesticidal activity of the compounds of formula I of the invention corresponds to a mortality of at least 50-60 % of tha above pe3ts.

The activity of the compounds of formula I and of the composition~
containing them can be substantially broadened and adapted to prevailing circum~tances by addition of other insecticides and/or acaricides. Examples of guitable additi~es lnclude: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives thereof, formamidines, ureas, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations.

The compounds of formula I are used in unmodified form, or preferably together wlth the acljuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation, and are therefore formulated in known manner to emulsifiable concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders~ soluble powder~, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations in e.g. polymer substan-ces. As with the nature of the compositions, the m2thods of appli-cation such as spr~ying, atomising, dusting, scattering or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended ob~ectives and the prevsiling circumstance3.

The formulations, i.e. the compo3itions, preparstions or mixtures containing the compound (active ingredient) of the formula I or combinations thereof with other lnsecticide~ or acaricldes, and, where appropriate, a solid or liquid ad~uvant, are prepared in known manner, Q . g . by homogeneously mlxing and/or grinding the active ingredient3 with extenders, e.g. solvents, 301id carriers and, in some cases, surfaca-act~ve compounds (surfactants).

Suitable 301vents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalene~, phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohol~ and glycols and their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrro-lidonal dimethyl 3ulfoxide or dimethylformamide, as well as vegetable oils or epoxidised vegetable oils such a~ epoxldised coconut oil or soybean oil; or water.

The solid carriers used e.g. for dusts and dispersible powders are normally natural mineral fillers such as calcite, talcum, kaolin, montmorlllonite or attapulgite. In order to improve the physlcal properties it is al~o possible to add hlghly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorp-tiva carriers are porous types, for eY.ample pumice, broken brick, 3epiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are materials ~uch as calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of pregranulated mater~als of inorganic or organic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverlsed plant r~sidues.

Depending on the nature oE the compound of formula I to be formulated, or of combinations thereof with other insecticides or acaricides, suitable surface-active compouDds are nonionlc, cationic and~or anionic surfactants having good emul3ifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood R~ compriBing mixtures of surfactants.

Suitable anio~ic surfactants can be both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthotic surface-active compounds.

Suitable soaps are the al~ali metal salt~, alkaline earth metal salts or unaubstituted or substituted ammonium salts o higher fatty acids (C1O-C22), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid Mixtures which can be obtained, e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil. Further ~uitable surfactants aro also the fatty acid methyltaurin salts as well as modifled and unmodified phospholipids.

More frequently, however, so-called synthetic aurfactants are used, especially fatty sulfonates, fatty sul~ates, sulfonated benzimida-zole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates.

The fatty sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or subst~-tuted ammonium salts and oontain a Cg-C22alkyl radical which also ;3 g includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radlcal~, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecylsulfate9 or of a mixture of fatty alcol~ol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acid~.
These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfuric acid e3ters and sulfonic acid~ of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adductE~. The sulfona-ted benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to ~2 carbon atoms.
Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or tri-ethanolamine aalts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphtha-lenesulfonic acid, or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are corresponding phospha~es, ~.g. salts of the pho~phoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonyl-phenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide.

Non-ionic flurfactants are preEerably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, or saturated or unsaturnted Eatty acicls and alkylphenols, said derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.

Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adduct3 of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediamino-polypropylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glyccl ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compound6 usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycc>l units per propylene glycol unit.

Representative example3 of non-lonic surfactants are nonylphenol-polyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ether6, polypropylene/-polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyathanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. ~atty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are al60 suitable non-ionic ~urfactants.

i3 Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium sal~8 whlch contain, as N-sub~tituent, at least ona Cg-C22alkyl radical and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl radicals. The 3alts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates, e.g. stearyl-trimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromid0.

The ~urfacta~ts customarily employed in the art of formulation are described e.g. in "McCutcheon's Detergents and ~mulgifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp. Ridgewood, New Jersey~ 1979; Dr. Helmut Stach0, "Tensid Taschenbuch" (Handbook of Surfactants), Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich/Vienna, 1981.

The pesticidal composltions ususlly contain 0.1 to 99 %, preferably 0.1 to 95 %, of a compound of formula I or combination thereof with other lnsecticides or acaricides, 1 to 99.9 % of a solid or liquid ad~uvant, and O to 25 %, preferably 0.1 to 20 %, of a suresctant.

Whereas commercial products are preferably formulated as concen-trates, the end user will normally employ diluted formulations of substantially lower concentration.

The compositions may also contaln further ingredients, such as stabilisers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers as well as fertilisers or other active ingredients in order to obtain special effects.

Example 1-a) Preparation of 2,5-dichloro-4 ~ 1',2' 2'-tetrafluoroethoxy~-aniline 18.6 g of 4-acetylamino-2,5-dichlorophenol together with 6.1 g of KOH powder and 130 ml of dimethylformamide are 5tirred in an autoclave. 20 g of tetrafluoroethylene are then pressed into ths , . .

2~;3 closed autoclave. The mixture is stirred for 20 hours at 70C under the pressure which has built up in the autoclave. After cooling, the mixture is concentrat~d by rotary evaporation and the residue i~

Example_8: Ovicidal action against Heliothis virescen6 Correspondlng amount~ of a wettable powder formulation containing 25 % by weight of the test compound are mixed with sufficient water to produce an aqueous emul~ion with an active ingredient concen-tration of 400 ppm. One-dRy-old egg deposits of }leliothis on cellophane~are immersed in these emulsions for 3 minutes and then collected by suction on round filters. The treated deposits are ~2~3 placed in petri dishes and kept in the dark at 28C and 60 %
relative humidity. The hatching rate, i.e. ~he number of larvae which have developed from the treatad eg~s, in comparison with untreatad controls i8 determined after 5 to 8 days.

Compound 1 according to Example 1 exhibits an 80 to 100 % ovicidal activity (mortality) in this test.

Example 9 Action against Laspeyresia pomonella (eggs):
Egg deposits of Laspeyresia pomonella not more than 24 hours old are immersed on filter paper for l minute in an aqueous acetonic solutlon containing 800 ppm of the test compound.

After the solution has dried, the eggs are placed in petri dishes and kept at a temperature of 28C. The percentage of larvae hatched from the treated eggs and the percentage mortality is evaluated after 6 dnys.

The compounds of formula I according to Example 1 exhibit good activity in tllis test.

Example 10: Influence~ _r~ duction of Anthonomous grandis Anthonomous grandis adults which are not more than 24 hours old after hatching are transferred in groups of 25 to barred cages. The cages are then immersed for 5 to 10 ~oconds in an acetonic solution containing O.l % by weight of the test compound. After the beetles have dried, they are placed in covared dishes containing feed and left for copulation and oviposition. Egg deposit3 are flushed out with running water twlce to three time~ weekly, counted, disinfected by putting them for 2 to 3 hours into an aqueou~ disinfectant, and then placed in dishes containing a suitable larval feed. A count is made after 7 days to determine the number of larvae which have developed from the eggs.
` ' ,.

The duration of the reproduction inhibiting effect of the test compounds is determined by monitorlng the egg deposits further, i.e.
over a period of about 4 week3. Evaluation is made by assessing the reduction ln the number of deposited eggs and hatched lsrvae in comparison with untreated controls.
