For this activity, highly active insecticides are known that can be used for combating these plant pests. The compounds of the invention also have activity against a number of economically important animal ectoparasites and public health pests.
The aromatic group designated as R1 in general formula I includes aryl and heteroaryl such as phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, benzofuran-5-yl, benzothiophen-5-yl, benzofuran-6-yl, benzothiophen-6-yl, benzoxazol-5-yl, benzoxazol-6-yl, indan-5-yl, indan-6-yl, 1,4-benzodioxan-6-yl, 1,3-benzodioxan-6-yl, 1,3-benzodioxan-7-yl, 1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthyl.
Compounds of the invention showing particularly good insecticidal and acaricidal activity are those in which in general formula I

The reaction with the phosphonium salts or the phosphonates of general formula II, III and VI can be carried out, for example in the presence of an inert solvent, such as that generally used in Wittig reactions. Suitable solvents include alaphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, such as for example hexane, benzene or toluene, and ethers such as for example diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. Other suitable solvents are amides, such as dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide. In some cases, alcohols or dimethyl sulphoxide can be used.
Suitable bases for the Wittig reaction include metal alcoholates, such as for example sodium ethanolate, metal hydrides, such as for example sodium hydride, metal amides, such as for example sodium amide and organometalic compounds, such as for example phenyllithium or butyllithium.
The compounds of general formula I in which the group R1 is an alkoxyphenyl or haloalkoxyphenyl group etc., and A=CH2, can also be obtained by treatment of a hydroxyphenyl derivative that can be prepared by hydrolysis of another alkoxyphenyl derivative, for example with the corresponding alkyl halide.
The etherification is generally carried out in solution. Suitable bases include metal alcoholates, such as for example potassium tert.-butylate, metal hydrides, such as for example sodium hydride, metal amides, such as for example lithium diisopropylamide and metal alkyl compounds, such as for example ethyl mangnesium bromide or butyllithium.
Suitable solvents, as opposed to the reactants, especially the bases, include inert substances such as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as for example hexane, benzene or toluene and ethers such as for example diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane. Suitable further amides include dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide.
The etherification can further be carried out in a two phase system by using a catalyst and optionally a solvent. Bases that can be used include alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal carbonates, either as solids or an aqueous solution. Suitable solvents are the reactants themselves as long as they are liquid. Otherwise they can be used in substances which are inert to the bases and which are immiscible with water, such as aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, such as for example hexane, benzene of toluene. Suitable catalysts include crown ethers and quaternary ammonium salts, such are described in Dehmlow and Dehmlow, Phase Transfer Catalysts, Weinheim 1980.
The reaction can be carried out at temperatures between −78° and 140° C., preferably at 20°-80° C., generally at room temperature.
The carbonyl compounds starting materials of general formula IV in which R2=H, and those of general formula VII are known either as such or as their analogues (R1=phenyl) and can be prepared according to methods described in the literature (F. E. Herkes, D. J. Burton, J. Org. Chem. 32, 1316 (1967); R. Stewart, K. C. Teo, Can. J. Chem. 58, 2491 (1980); C. Aaron, D. Dull, J. L. Schmiegel, D. Jaeger, Y. Ohashi, H. S. Mosher J. Org. Chem. 32, 2797 (1967).
The aldehyde compounds of formula IV, used as starting materials, in which R2 is H, can be prepared by reacting a compound of general formula XVIII
which can be themselves prepared by methods described in literature, with a cyanisation reagent, such as for example trimethylsilyl cyanide, in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as for example TiCl4 or SnCl4, optionally using a solvent (M. T. Reetz, I. Chatziiosifidis, Angew. Chem. 93. 1075 (1981); R. Davis, K. G. Untch, J. Drg. Chem. 46, 2987 (1981) and then reducing the resulting nitrile of general formula XIX
to the desired aldehyde in conventional manner. R1 and R2 have the meanings given above and Y is a hydroxy group or a leaving group, such as for example halogen.
The compounds of general formula XIX, in which the group R1 is an alkoxyphenyl or haloalkoxyphenyl group etc. can be obtained also by treatment of the corresponding hydroxyphenyl derivatives, (which themselves can be prepared by hydrolysis of another alkoxyphenyl derivative), for example by using the corresponding alkyl halide.
The phosphonium salt or phosphonate starting material of general formula II, III and VI can be obtained by treatment of R4CH(R3)CH2X or R4CH(R3)CH2CH2X, wherein X is a halogen atom, with (R5)3P or (R6O)3P.
The alcohols used as starting materials of general formula XIV and XVII can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding nitrile, aldehyde, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester. The reaction can be carried out according to known methods with metal hydride complexes, for example lithium aluminium hydride or alkyl aluminium hydrides for example diisobutylaluminium hydride. The halonide, tosylate and mesylates which are used, are known in themselves or can be prepared according to known methods (DE-OS No. 31 17 510, DE-OS No. 33 17 908, Houben-Wevl, Band 5/4, page 354; ibid. Band 9, page 663).
The compounds of the invention prepared by the above described processes can be isolated from the reaction mixture in conventional manner, for example by distillation of the solvent used at normal or reduced pressure or by extraction.
A higher degree of purity can be obtained as general rule by thin layer chromatography purification or by fractional distillation.
The compounds of the invention are, as a rule, colourless oils that are highly soluble in practically all organic solvents but are almost insoluble in water.
The compounds according to the invention can be used at a concentration of 0.005 to 5%, preferably from 0.001 to 1%, calculated as gram active material per 100 ml of the composition.
The compounds of the invention can be used either alone or in mixture with each other or another insecticide. Optionally other plant protection or pesticidal compositions, such as for example insecticides, acaricides or fungicides can be added depending on the desired result.
An improvement in the intensity and speed of action can be obtained, for example, by addition of suitable adjuvants, such as organic solvents, wetting agents and oils. Such additives may allow a decrease in the dose.
Suitable mixture partners may also include phospholipids, e.g. such as from the group phosphatidylcholine, hydrated phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, lysolecithin or phosphatidylglycerol.
The designated active ingredients or their mixtures can suitably be used, for example, as powders, dusts, granules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with the addition of liquid and/or solid carriers and/or diluents and, optionally, binding, wetting, emulsifying and/or dispersing adjuvants.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, other mineral-oil fractions and plant oils.
Suitable solid carriers include mineral earths, e.g. tonsil, silica gel, talcum, kaolin, attapulgite, limestone, silicic acid and plant products, e.g. flours.
As surface-active agents there can be used for example calcium lignosulphonate, polyoxyethylenealkylphenyl ether, naphthalenesulphonic acids and their salts, phenolsulphonic acids and their salts, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulphates, as well as substituted benzenesulphonic acids and their salts.
The percentage of the active ingredient(s) in the various preparations can vary within wide limits. For example, the compositions can contain about 10 to 90 percent by weight active ingredients, and about 90 to 10 percent by weight liquid or solid carriers, as well as, optionally up to 20 percent by weight of surfactant.
The agents can be applied in customary fashion, for example with water as the carrier in spray mixture volumes of approximately 100 to 3,000 l/ha. The agents can be applies using low-volume or ultra-low-volume techniques or in the form of so-called microgranules.
The preparation of these formulations can be carried out in a known manner, for example by milling or mixing processes. Optionally, individual components can be mixed just before use for example by the so-called commonly used tank-mixing method.
Formulations can be prepared, for example, from the following ingredients.

80 percent by weight active ingredient
15 percent by weight kaolin
5 percent by weight surface-active agent based on the sodium salt of N-methyl-N-oleyltaurine and the calcium lignosulphonate

The following test Examples illustrate the possible uses of the compounds of the invention that have been suitably formulated for use.
Compounds of the invention were made up as aqueous emulsions at a concentration of 0.1%. Broad bean (Vicia fabae) plants (one plant per pot) that had previously been infested with wingless stages of the black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) were sprayed until dripping wet with these preparations. After this, the treated test samples were left in the laboratory under extended daylight conditions for 48 hours. The % mortality of the larvae after 48 hours from the start of the experiment in comparison with untreated controls indicated the level of activity.
In this experiment, the compounds of the preparative Examples 1-43, 44-46, 48-51, 53, 64, 66, 67, 69-75, 77, 79, 98 and 101 showed 100% activity.
The compounds of the invention were made up as aqueous emulsions at a concentration of 0.1%. Cabbage leaves (Brassica olearacea var. botrytis), placed in polystyrene petri dishes, were sprayed with these preparations (4 mg spray/cm2). After the sprayed surface had dried, 10 young larvae of the diamond-backed moth (Plutella xylostella) were placed in each petri dish and thereby exposed to the treated food in the closed dishes for two days. The % mortality of the larvae after two days indicated the level of activity.
In this experiment, the compounds of the preparative Examples 2, 3, 4, 9, 19, 22, 24, 31-54, 56, 58-60, 62, 72-75, 79-82, 84, 87, 90, 93, 95-98, 100 and 101 showed 100% activity.
The compounds of the invention were made up as aqueous emulsions at a concentration of 0.1%. French bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the primary leaf stage were dipped in the preparations. For each test, two plant stems with in total four primary leaves were placed in glass vases filled with water and enclosed in plexiglass cylinders. Then five larvae of the Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna varivestis) at the third larval stage were put in the glass cylinders and kept for three days under extended daylight conditions. The % mortality of the larvae after three days indicated the level of activity.
In these experiments the compounds of Examples 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 22, 24, 28, 33 and 62-66 showed 100% mortality.
Compounds of the invention were made up as aqueous emulsions at a concentration of 0.1%. Leaflet pairs of beans (Vicia fabae) as well as 10 larvae (L2) of the cotton army worm (Spodoptera littoralis) per experiment were sprayed with 4 mg spray/cm2 of these preparations in polystyrene petri dishes. The closed petri dishes were left in the laboratory under extended daylight conditions for two days. The % mortality of the larvae after two days indicated the level of activity.
In this experiment, the compounds of the preparative Examples 2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 17, 18, 21, 33-46, 49, 50, 52, 54, 58-60, 62, 64-70, 72, 75, 84, 90, 96, 98, 100 and 101 showed 100% activity.
The compounds of the invention were made up as aqueous emulsions at a concentration of 0.1%. One day old eggs that had been laid on filter paper by fertilised female moths were dipped in the preparations until they were completely wet and then placed in closed petri dishes in the laboratory under extended daylight conditions for four days. The % inhibition of hatching of the eggs in comparison with untreated eggs indicates the level of activity.
In this experiment, the compounds of the preparative Examples 2, 4, 5, 64-66, 72, 73, 77, 87, 90 and 96 showed 100% activity.
Compounds of the invention were made up as an aqueous emulsion at a concentration of 0.1%. Dwarf bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the primary leaf stage, which had been infested with spider mites (Tetranychus urticae), were sprayed with these preparations until they were dripping wet and left in a laboratory for seven days under extende daylight conditions. After this, the % mortality of the motile stages on the one hand and the eggs on the other hand were estimated in comparison with untreated controls, using a magnifying glass.
In this experiment, the compounds of the preparative Examples 11, 12, 13, 19, 23, 24, 66, 69, 74, 75, 82, 84, 87 and 90-96 showed 100% activity.
In a heated greenhouse, rice seedlings (about 15 per pot) were grown until formation of the third leaf and then sprayed until dripping wet with an aqueous preparation containing 0.1% of active material. After drying the sprayed leaves, a transparent cylinder was placed over each pot. 30 Adult brown rice-hoppers (Niliparvata lugens) were introduced into each pot. After 2 days at 26° C. in the greenhouse, the amount of dead hoppers was determined. The activity was calculated according to Abbott in comparison with several untreated control pots.
Complete death was reached with the compounds of Examples 4, 12, 19, 22, 24, 33, 35-46, 49-55, 59-62, 64-81, 83, 84, 90, 94-96 and 114.
9 cm diameter filter papers were impregnated with 1 ml aliquots of acetone solutions of test compound at various concentrations. The papers were allowed to dry and then folded into envelopes in which cattle tick larvae, (Boophilus micoplus) were enclosed and held at 25° C. and 80% R.H. for 48 hours. The percentage mortality of tick larvae was then recorded and compared with controls.
The controls gave a mortality of less than 5% whereas compounds of Examples 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 22, 25, 26, 28, 32, 33, 37-46, 48, 51-55, 57, 58, 60, 62-67, 69-72, 74, 76, 77 and 79-81. caused 50% mortality at a concentration of 300 ppm or less.
