Preferred compounds of the forrnula I according to the invention are those in which the heterocyclic radical A is unsaturated and bonded to the radical of the compound of the formula I via one of its ring carbon atoms; those in which the heterocyclic radical A
contains at least one nitrogen atom; and those in which the heterocyclic radical A contains one to three hetero atoms from ~he series comprising oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen, of which not more than one is an oxygen or sulfur atom.

The ring systems which come under the definition of the heterocyclic radical A therefore contain, as a ring member, at least one hetero atom, i.e. at least one of the atoms which form the basic ring-shaped skeleton is other than carbon. In principle, all atoms of the periodic system of the elements are capable of acting as ring members if they can form at least two covalent bonds. In this context, the heterocyclic radicall is pre~era~ly unsalturllted and bonded to the skeleton of the nitroenamine of the formulal [ via al callbotl atolll rh1g member. IJnsaturated ring systems of the ~lefinitiotl A therefore contairl ona or more double bon~ls. RinL~ ~ysterns of this type alrc profcr.lbly polyunsatllr.lte(î alnd gcnerallly have alromaltic chalracter. Preferred rin~ systems which come uncler the definition of A are those in which the heterocyclic radical A contains one to three hetero atoms from theseries comprising oxygcn, sulfur and nitrogen, of which one hetero atom is always nitrogen and not more than one oxygen atom or sulfur atom is present. Examples of heterocyclic radicals according to the invention, of the definition A, can be found in the group of skeletons of the following structures:

Compounds of the formula I according tO the invention which are of special interest because of their good pesticidal properties are those in which X is fluorine or bromine, preferably fluorine, and Y and Z are halogen, preferably fluorine or chlorine; those in which X is C1-C6haloalkyl having 4 to 13, preferably 2 to 13, halogen atoms; and those in which X is trifluoromethyl or one of the radicals -C2Fs or -C3F7.

The individual generic terrns in the definition of the formula I according to the invention are to be understood as meaning the following:

The halogen atoms which are suitable as substituents are fluorine ancl chlorine as well as bromine alld iodine, fluor~ne, chlorine and brorninc beiIlg preferlecl. In this ~olltext, hnlogen is to be unclerstoo(l as meaning ~ subs~itllent in its own right or part o~ a sllbstituent, sllch as in halo.llkyl, haloalkylthio, halo.llkoxy, h~llo~ycloalkyl, h.lloalkenyl, hal(ralkyllyl, h;lloallyloxy or haloallylthio. 'I'he alkyl, alkylthio1 alkenyl, alkynyl ancl alkoxy radicals which are suitable as substituents can be straight-chain or branchecl.
Examples of such alkyls which may be mentioned are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, i-butyl, sec-butyl or tert-butyl. Suitable alkoxy radicals which may be mentioned are, inter alia: methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy or butoxy and their isomers.
Alkylthio is, for example, methylthio, ethylthio, isopropylthio, propylthio or the butylthio isomers. If the alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl or cycloalkyl groups which are suitable as substituents are substituted by halogen, they can be only partially halogenated, or, alternatively, perhalogenated. In this context, the definitions of halogen, alkyl and alkoxy are those given above. Examples of the alkyl elements of these groups are methyl which is monosubstituted to trisubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, for example CHF2 2~3¢3~77~

or CF3; ethyl which is monosubstituted to pentasubstituted by flllorine, chlorine and/or bromine, for example CH2CF3, CF2CF3, CF2CCI3, CF2CE~C12, CF2CHF2, CF2CFCI2, CF2CHBr2, CF2CHClF, CF2CHE3rF or CCIFCHCIF; propyl or isopropyl, each of which is monosubstituted to heptasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, for example CH2CHBrCH2Br, CF2CHFCF3, CH2CF2CF3 or CH(CF3)2; butyl or one of its isomers, each of which is monosubstituted to nonasubstituted by fluorine, chlorine and/or bromine, for example CF(CF3)CHFCF3 or CH2(CF~)2CF3; 2-chlorocyclopropyl or 2,2-difluorocyclopropyl; 2,2-difluorovinyl, 2,2-dichlorovinyl, 2-chloroallyl, 2,3-dichlorovinyl or 2,3-dibromovinyl.

If the alkyl, alkoxy or cycloalkyl groups which have been de~med are subs~ituted by other substituents, they can be monosubstituted or polysubstituted by an identical substituent or by different substituents of those mentioned. The substituted groups preferably contain one or two further substituents. The cycloalkyl radicals which are suitable as substituents are, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl. Alkenyl and alkynyl groups contain an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. Typical representatives are allyl, methallyl or propargyl, but also vinyl and ethynyl. The double or triple bonds in allyloxy, propargyloxy, allylthio or propargylthio are preferably separated from the site at which these are linked to the hetero atom (O or S) by a saturated carbon atom.

Heterocyclic compounds containing a nitroenarnine structure have already been disclosed as insecticides in EP-A-192 06(), EP-A-302 389 and EP-A-302 833; however, the biological properties of these compounds are not entiraly satisfactory when used in pest control. In terrns of structure, the compounds of the fo mula I accorclin~g to th~ invelltion are distinL~uished from the abovementioned, known nitroenamines in particular by the presence of tha spccific 3,4-substitucnts in the n-but-l-one chain, The compoun(ls of the formula I accorcling to the invention also encompass salts with inorg,lnic acids which are agriculturally acceptable. Examples of such acids arehydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and nitric acid and acids which have the same central atom and higher or lower levels of oxidation, such as perchloric acid, nitrous acid or phosphorous acid.

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention can exist as double-bond isomers, for example cis and trans isomers, or as stereoisomers at the carbon atom 3. The compounds of the forrnula I are understood as meaning such isomeric fo rns and mixtures ;

of these.

The compounds of the forrnula I according to the invention can be prepared analogously to known processes. For example, the compound of the forrnula I is obtained by reacting a 1,1-diamino-2-nitroethyl derivative of the forrnula II

N ~ CH--A
CH(N02)= C~ , R3 with a compound of the forrnula III

x\ ~o Y ~c~c\ (III), Z H

in which Rl to R4, A, X, Y and Z are as de~lned above.

The above process according to the invention is advantageously can~ed out in an inert solvent at temperatures between 0C and ~120C, in particular between -~2(:)C and -~80C. The following are particularly suitable as solvents: example~ of suitable solventx are aromatic hyclrocarbons such ns benzene, toluene and xylene; ethr,rs such a~
tetrahydrofllran, clioxane and diethyl ether; halogenatecl hy(lrocarbolls sllch a~ methylene chlorkle, chloroform, c.lrbon tctrachloride ancl chlorobcnzene; alcohols such as metharlol, ethanol un~l propanol; esters of aliphatic acids, such as ethyl acetate; aliphatic amides, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; acetonitrile, and other solvents which do not interfere with the reaction These solvents can also be used as rnixtures. The reaction can be carried out with the addition of a dehydrating agent, for example molecular sieves, or by azeotropic removal of the reaction water forrned, in particular when the aldehyde starting cornpound of the fonnula III is present in the hydrate forrn.
Basic conditions, i.e. pH values of > 8, and high ternperatures above approx. 100C should advantageously be avoided when carrying out the reaction, since the desired products of the forrnula I are unstable under these reaction conditions.

European Patent Application Nos. 302 389 and 302 833).

It has now been found that the compounds of the forrnula I according to the invention are valuable active substances in pest control while their toxicity properties as regards warm-blooded species, fish and plants are favourable. In par~icular, the use of the active substances according to the invention relates to insects and arachnids which occur in usefu} plants and ornamentals in agriculture, in particular in cotton plantations, vegetable plantations and fruit plantations, in forests, in the protection of stored products and materials, and in the hygiene field, in particular on domestic animals and productive livestock. The compounds of the forrnula I are also suitable for seed treatment (compositions for seed-dressing) for controlling, in particular, aphids, Ihe fact that the compounds have a low toxicity to birds being highly important. They are effecùve ag~inst all or individual development stages of nonnally sensitive, but also of resistant, species. In this context, their action can become apparent by immediate destruction of the pests or only after some time, for example during moulting, or by reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate.

The good pesticidal action of the compounds of tlle formula I according to lhe invention corresponds to a destmction rate ~mortality) of at least 50-60 % of the pests mentioned.

The action of the compounds according to the invention and of the compositions which comprise them ean be broadened substantially by adding other insecticides and/oracaricides and can be adapted to suit prevailing cireumstanees. E~xamples of suitable additives are representatives of the following elasses of aetive substances:
organophosphorus eompour1ds, nitrophenols and derivatives, formamidines, ureas, carbam.ltes, pyre~hroi(ls, chlorin;lte(l hydlocarbons arlcl F~acilllls thuringiell~is prepa~ iorls.

'I`he colllpollll(ls of the formulLl I are ellll)loyed in ul~altere(l form")r prefer~lbly to~e~her with the allxiliaries eonverltionally used hl formul.ltioll teehnology, and they can therefore be processed in a known manner to give, for exa,Tlple, emulsion coneentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granules, and also encapsulations in polymerie substanees. The application methods, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering or pouring, as well as the compositions are selected to suit the intended aims and the prevailing cireumstances.

The formulation, i.e. the compositions, preparations or combinations comprising the active substance of the formula I, or blends of these active substanees with other insecticides or acaricides, and, if desired, a solid or liquid additive, are prepared in a known manner, for example by intimately mixing andlor glinding the aetive substanees with extenders, for example with solvents, solid carners and, if desired, surface-ac~ve compounds (surfactants).

The following are possible as solvents: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions C8 to Cl2, such as xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalic esters, such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons, sueh as cyclohexane, paraffins, alcohols and glycols as well as their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ketones, such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformarnide, and also epoxiclized or unepoxidized vegetable oils, such as epoxidized coconut oil or soya oil, or water.

Solid carriers used as a rule, for example for dusts and dispersible powders, are ground natural minerals, such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties, it is also possible to add highly-disperse silicas or highly-disperse absorptive polymers. Possible particulate, adsorptive carriers for granules a~e either porous types, for example pumice, brick grit, sepiolite or bentonite, or non-sorptive carner materials, such as calcite or sand. Moreover, a large number of ~ranulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, such as, in particular, dolornite or comminuted plant residues.

Suitable surface~clctive compollrlds arc non-ionic, cationic an(l/or anionic surfclct.lnts h(lvin6 good emulsifyinL~, dispersillg and wottin~ propertie/., deperlding on the nature of the active xubst.lrlce of the formula ~ to b~ formlllatecl or ot' the blcn~ls of thcse active subst,lllces with other insectici-les or acaricicles. Surfactants are also to be understoocl as meaning mixtures of surfactants Anionic surfactants which are suitable can be either so-called ~ater-soluble soaps or water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds.

Suitable soaps which may be mentioned are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C1O-C22), such as the sodium salts or potassium salts of oleic or ste~ric acid, or of natural mixtures of ~fatty acids which can be obtained, for exarnple, from coconut or tall oil. Mention must also be made of the fatty acid methyltaurinates aml of modified and unmoclified phospholipids as surfactants.

r~ r~ 3 However, so-called synthetic surf.lctants are used more frequently, in particular fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole deriYatives or alkylarylsulfonates.

The fatty sulfonates or fatty sulfates are, as a rule, in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth met~l salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts, an~l generally have an alkyl radical having 8 to 22 C atoms, alkyl also including the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, for example the sodium or calcium salt of ligninsul~onic acid, of the dodecylsulfuric ester or of a fatty alcohol sulfate mixture prepared from natural fatty acids. This group also includes the salts of the sulfuric esters and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonyl groups and one fatty acid radical having 8 to 22 C atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/forrnaldehyde condensation product. Other suitable compounds are the corresponding phosphates, such as the salts of the phosphoric ester of ap-nonylphenol-(~-14)-ethylene oxide adduct, or phospholipids.

Suitable non-ionic surfactants are mainly polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, which can contain 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to ~0 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hyclrocarbon radical and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl rallical of the alkylptlenols.
Other non-ionic surfact~lnts which are suitable are the water-soluble polyethylene oxi~le ad(lllcts with polypropylf~l1e ~Iycol, ethylet1edi.~ opolypropylene L~lycol and ;Itlcylpolypropylene glycol WtliCtl h.tve I to 1() calborl atoms irl the alkyl chain alld which contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups an(l 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. Ttle abovementioned compounds customarily contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.

Examples of non-ionic surfactants which may be mentioned are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, castor oil thioxilate, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Other suitable substances are fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylenesorbitan, such as polyoxyethylenesorbitan trioleate.

The cationic surfactants are mainly quaternary ammonium salts, which contain at least one .

alkyl radical having 8 to 22 C atoms as N-substituents and which have lower halogenated or free alkyl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals as further substituents. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates, for example stear,vltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.

The surfactants customary in forrnulation technology are described, inter alia, in the following publications:
"1885 International McCutcheon's Emulsifiers & Detergents", Glen Rock NJ USA, 1985", H. Stache, "Tensid-Taschenbuch [Surfactant Guide]", 2nd edition, C. Hanser Verlag, Munich, Vienna, 1981;
M. and J. Ash. "Encyclopedia of Surfactants", Vol. I-III, Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1980-1981.

As a rule, the pesticidal preparations contain 0.1 to 99 %, in particular 0.1 to 95 %, of the active subs~ance of the formula I or of blends of this active substance with other insecticides or acaricides, 1 to 99.9 % of a solid or liquid additive and 0 to 25 %, in particular 0.1 to 20 %, of a surfactant. While concentrated compositions are more preferred as commercial goods, the end user uses, as a rule, dilute preparations which have substantially lower concentrations of active substance. Typical use concentrations are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm. The application rates per hectare are generally 1 to 1000 g of active substance per hectare, preferably 25 to 500 g/l~
