reaction is generally conducted in the presence of a solvent.
[0066] Examples of the solvent to be used in the reaction include
aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane and
chloroform; alcohols such as methanol and ethanol; acetic acid;
water; and mixtures thereof. The amount of the oxidant to be used
in the reaction is generally 1 to 3 moles, preferably 1 to 1.2
moles, relative to 1 mole of the sulfide compounds I to produce the
sulfoxide compounds I, and preferably 2 to 2.2 moles of oxidant,
relative to 1 mole of the sulfide compounds I to produce the
sulfone compounds I. Such oxidation reactions are disclosed, for
example, in WO 2013/018928.
[0067] Indazoles, aza-indazoles and/or diaza-indazoles, may be made
using processes that are well known and have been described for
example in WO 2013/191113; Synlett (2013), 24(12), 1573-1577;
Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications (1991),
(20), 1466-7; Organic Letters (2014), 16(11), 3114-3117; or for a
review on more general synthesis for this type of derivatives, see
for example Science of Synthesis (2002), 12, 227-324 and European
Journal of Organic Chemistry (2008), (24), 4073-4095. All of these
process could be use to access indazoles analogues derivatives. One
possible process is summarized in scheme 1 for compounds of formula
I:
##STR00007##
[0068] Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by reaction of a
compound of formula (II) under reductive cyclisation conditions
using a reducing agent, such as trialkyl phosphite (more
specifically, for example triethyl phosphite), trialkylphosphine or
triphenylphosphine. The principle of this reductive cyclisation is
analogous to the known Cadogan reaction. Alternatively, this
reaction may be conducted in presence of a metal catalyst, for
example a molybdenum(VI) catalyst such as
MoO.sub.2Cl.sub.2(dmf).sub.2 [molybdenyl
chloride-bis(dimethylformamide)], or more generally with transition
metal complexes in combination with a reducing agent such as
triethylphosphite, triphenylphosphine or CO. Suitable solvents may
include use of excess of the reducing agent (such as triethyl
phosphite), or for example toluene or xylene at temperatures
between room temperature and 200.degree. C., preferably between 50
and 160.degree. C., optionally under microwave conditions.
##STR00008##
[0069] Compounds of formula (II) may be prepared (scheme 2) by
reaction of aldehyde or ketone derivatives of formula (III) with
amine derivatives of formula (IV), usually upon heating and
optionally under microwave conditions. The formation of compounds
of formula (II) may require water removal, either by azeotropical
distillation, or with a drying agent such as for example TiCl.sub.4
or molecular sieves. The formation of the Schiff bases of formula
(II) is very well known to those skilled in the art, and methods
are well described in the literature, see for example, Molbank
(2006), M514 or March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions,
Mechanisms, and Structure, 5th Edition p 1185-1187 and cited
documents therein. Suitable solvents may include for example
toluene or xylene at temperatures between room temperature and
200.degree. C., preferably between 50 and 160.degree. C.
[0070] Compounds of formula (III) are either known, commercially
available or may be made by methods known to a person skilled in
the art.
[0071] Compounds of formula (IV) are either known, commercially
available or may be made by methods known to a person skilled in
the art.

[0072] In an alternative method depicted in scheme 2, compounds of
formula I can also be prepared by reacting compounds of formula V,
wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3, G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 have the values
defined in formula I with a compound of formula (VI) wherein Z is a
leaving group like, for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or
iodine, or an aryl- or alkylsulfonate, or any other similar leaving
group. For example, this reaction, called S.sub.NAr reaction
(aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction) can be done in a
presence of base such as for example sodium, potassium or lithium
carbonate, in a solvent such as dimethyl formamide, at temperatures
between room temperature and 200.degree. C., with or without
microwave irradiation. An example of this type of reaction is
described in WO 2007/113596 and Journal of Medicinal Chemistry,
52(22), 7170-7185, 2009. In an alternative method, a compound of
formula (VI) wherein Z is chlorine, bromine or iodine, or any other
appropriate leaving group, could be coupled with compounds of
formula V by using copper catalyst coupling conditions, for example
using copper(I) iodide as copper catalyst, with or without an
additive such as L-proline or N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, in
presence of a base such as, for example potassium carbonate. Said
alternative method is for example described in WO 2006/107771 and
WO 2012/083105.
[0073] Compounds of formula (VI) are either known, commercially
available or may be made by methods known to a person skilled in
the art. One particular example is described in scheme 4.
##STR00010##
[0074] Compounds of formula (VIa), wherein R.sub.1, A.sub.1 and Q
have the values defined in formula I may be prepared (scheme 4) by
oxydation of compounds of formula (XIVa). The reaction can be
performed with reagents like, for example a peracid as peracetic
acid or m-chloroperbenzoic acid, or a hydroperoxide as for example
hydrogen peroxide or tert-butylhydroperoxide, or an inorganic
oxidant, like a mono-peroxodisulfate salt or potassium
permanganate, preferentially meta-chloroperbenzoic acid.
[0075] Compounds of formula (XIVa) wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.6,
R.sub.1, A and G.sub.3 have the values defined in formula I, may be
prepared (scheme 4) by substitution of the two leaving groups (LG)
of compounds of formula (VIIa), LG is, for example Cl or fluorine,
by reaction with compounds of formula XI
R.sub.1--SH (XI),
or a salt thereof, wherein R.sub.1 is as defined in formula I,
optionally in the presence of a suitable base, such as alkali metal
carbonates, for example sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate,
or alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride, or alkali metal
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, in an
inert solvent at temperatures preferably between 25-120.degree. C.
Examples of solvent to be used include ethers such as THF, ethylene
glycol dimethyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether, and 1,4-dioxane,
aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, nitriles such as
acetonitrile or polar aprotic solvents such as
N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide,
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or dimethyl sulfoxide. Examples of salts of
the compound of formula X include compounds of the formula XIa
R.sub.1--S-M (XIa),
wherein R.sub.1 is as defined above and wherein M is, for example,
sodium or potassium.
[0076] Under the similar condition, compounds of formula (IXa) may
be prepare from compounds of formula (VIIIa) wherein, LG is, for
example Cl or fluorine and LG.sub.2 is bromide or iodine. The
transformation of compounds of formula (IXa) to compounds of
formula (XIVa) via transformation of LG.sub.2 to Q can be perform
by methods well known to a person skilled in the art. For example,
compounds of formula (XIVa) wherein R.sub.1, A.sub.1 and Q have the
values defined in formula I and Q is, for example, aryl or
heteroaryl can be prepared by a Stille reaction of compounds of
formula XIIb wherein Y.sub.b2 is a trialkyl tin derivative,
preferably tri-n-butyl tin, with compounds of formula XIVa. Such
Stille reactions are usually carried out in the presence of a
palladium catalyst, for example
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), or
(1,1'bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene)dichloropalladium-dichloromethan-
e (1:1 complex), in an inert solvent such as DMF, acetonitrile, or
dioxane, optionally in the presence of an additive, such as cesium
fluoride, or lithium chloride, and optionally in the presence of a
further catalyst, for example copper(I)iodide. Such Stille
couplings are also well known to those skilled in the art, and have
been described in for example J. Org. Chem., 2005, 70, 8601-8604,
J. Org. Chem., 2009, 74, 5599-5602, and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.,
2004, 43, 1132-1136. Alternatively, compounds of formula (XIVa)
wherein R.sub.1, A.sub.1 and Q have the values defined in formula I
can be prepared by a Suzuki reaction, which involves reacting
compounds of formula IXa, wherein LG is a leaving group, for
example, chlorine, bromine or iodine with compounds of formula
XIIa, wherein Y.sub.b1 can be a boron-derived functional group, as
for example B(OH).sub.2 or B(OR.sub.b1).sub.2 wherein R.sub.b1 can
be a C.sub.1-C.sub.4alkyl group or the two groups OR.sub.b1 can
form together with the boron atom a five membered ring, as for
example a pinacol boronic ester. The reaction can be catalyzed by a
palladium based catalyst, for example
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium or
(1,1'bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene)dichloropalladium-dichloromethane
(1:1 complex), in presence of a base, like sodium carbonate or
cesium fluoride, in a solvent or a solvent mixture, like, for
example a mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and water, or of dioxane
and water, preferably under an inert atmosphere. The reaction
temperature can preferentially range from room temperature to the
boiling point of the reaction mixture. Such Suzuki reactions are
well known to those skilled in the art and have been reviewed, for
example J. Orgmet. Chem. 576, 1999, 147-168.
[0077] Under the similar conditions as described for scheme 4,
compounds of formula VIb could be prepared as described in scheme
4a.
##STR00011##
[0078] Compounds of formula VIIa, VIIb, VIIIa and VIIIb are either
known, commercially available or may be made by methods known to a
person skilled in the art.
[0079] Compounds of formula (V) are either known, commercially
available or may be made by methods known to a person skilled in
the art. See for examples, CAS 954239-22-6 (commercially available
or synthesised via patent literature WO 2008001883) or CAS
1211589-93-3 (commercially available). Intermediate compounds, for
example if R.sub.2 is halogen such as bromide are commercially
available or could be synthesised via literature process (e.g. CAS
1150617-54-1, CAS 1227628-26-3 or CAS 79762-54-2) and could be use
as starting material to generate the desired (V) compounds via well
known by somebody skilled in the art. For example, the introduction
of R.sub.2 group such as SCF.sub.3 or CF.sub.2CF.sub.3 (See scheme
5).
##STR00012##
[0080] As shown in scheme 5, reaction of the known compound Va with
(Phen)CuCF.sub.3 or (Phen)CuCF.sub.2CF.sub.3 in an inert solvent,
such as DMF or NMP, at temperatures between 50-120.degree. C. leads
to compounds of formula V wherein R.sub.2 is CF.sub.3 or
CF.sub.2CF.sub.3. Such reactions are well precedented in the
literature, see for example, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 3793
and Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 1744 (R.sub.2 is CF.sub.3), and Angew.
Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 536 (R.sub.2 is CF.sub.2CF.sub.3).
Reaction of compounds of formula Va with (bpy)CuSCF.sub.3 in an
inert solvent, such as DMF or NMP, at temperatures between
50-120.degree. C. leads to compounds of formula V, wherein R.sub.2
is SCF.sub.3. Such reactions are precedented in the literature, for
example in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1548-1552. Compounds of
formula V, wherein R.sub.2 is SCF.sub.3 can be further oxidized to
compounds of formula V, wherein R.sub.2 is S(O)CF.sub.3 or
S(O.sub.2)CF.sub.3 by oxidation, for example with MCPBA or other
methods known to those skilled in the art. Compounds of formula I
where R.sub.2 is C.sub.1-C.sub.2haloalkyl or
C.sub.1-Chaloalkylsulfanyl, i.e. compounds of formula I (e.g. Ia,
Ib and Ic), can be prepared from compounds of formula Id, wherein
in R.sub.2 is halogen, preferably bromine or iodine, by the same
chemistry described for the preparation of V in scheme 5. This is
illustrated in scheme 6.
##STR00013##
##STR00014##
[0081] Compounds of formula Ib, wherein A.sub.1, R.sub.1, R.sub.2,
R.sub.3, G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 are as defined in formula I, can be
prepared (scheme 6) by oxidation of compounds of formula Ia,
wherein A.sub.1, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 are
as defined in formula I. The reaction can be performed with
reagents like, for example a peracid as peracetic acid or
m-chloroperbenzoic acid, or a hydroperoxide as for example hydrogen
peroxide or tert-butylhydroperoxide, or an inorganic oxidant, like
a mono-peroxodisulfate salt or potassium permanganate,
preferentially meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. In a similar way,
compounds of formula Ic, wherein A.sub.1, R.sub.1, R.sub.2,
R.sub.3, G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 are as defined in formula I, can be
prepared by oxidation of compounds of formula Ib. These reactions
can be performed in various organic or aqueous solvents compatible
to these conditions, by temperatures from below 0.degree. C. up to
the boiling point of the solvent system and the number of
equivalents of oxidant will determinate the degrees of oxidation of
the sulphur, e.g. with two or more equivalents of oxidant, the
compound of formula Ic can be prepare directly from compound of
formula Ia.
[0082] The reactants can be reacted in the presence of a base.
Examples of suitable bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal
hydroxides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydrides, alkali
metal or alkaline earth metal amides, alkali metal or alkaline
earth metal alkoxides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal
acetates, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates, alkali
metal or alkaline earth metal dialkylamides or alkali metal or
alkaline earth metal alkylsilylamides, alkylamines,
alkylenediamines, free or N-alkylated saturated or unsaturated
cycloalkylamines, basic heterocycles, ammonium hydroxides and
carbocyclic amines. Examples which may be mentioned are sodium
hydroxide, sodium hydride, sodium amide, sodium methoxide, sodium
acetate, sodium carbonate, potassium tart-butoxide, potassium
hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium hydride, lithium
diisopropylamide, potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, calcium
hydride, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, triethylenediamine,
cyclohexylamine, N-cyclohexyl-N,N-dimethylamine,
N,N-diethylaniline, pyridine, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine,
guinuclidine, N-methylmorpholine, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide
and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).
[0083] The reactants can be reacted with each other as such, i.e.
without adding a solvent or diluent. In most cases, however, it is
advantageous to add an inert solvent or diluent or a mixture of
these. If the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base,
bases which are employed in excess, such as triethylamine,
pyridine, N-methylmorpholine or N,N-diethylaniline, may also act as
solvents or diluents.
[0084] The reaction is advantageously carried out in a temperature
range from approximately -80.degree. C. to approximately
+140.degree. C., preferably from approximately -30.degree. C. to
approximately +100.degree. C., in many cases in the range between
ambient temperature and approximately +80.degree. C.
[0085] A compound of formula I can be converted in a manner known
per se into another compound of formula I by replacing one or more
substituents of the starting compound of formula I in the customary
manner by (an)other substituent(s) according to the invention.
[0086] Depending on the choice of the reaction conditions and
starting materials which are suitable in each case, it is possible,
for example, in one reaction step only to replace one substituent
by another substituent according to the invention, or a plurality
of substituents can be replaced by other substituents according to
the invention in the same reaction step.
[0087] Salts of compounds of formula I can be prepared in a manner
known per se. Thus, for example, acid addition salts of compounds
of formula I are obtained by treatment with acid or a suitable ion
exchanger reagent and salts with bases are obtained by treatment
with a suitable base or with a suitable ion exchanger reagent.
[0088] Salts of compounds of formula I can be converted in the
customary manner into the free compounds I, acid addition salts,
for example, by treatment with a suitable basic compound or with a
suitable ion exchanger reagent and salts with bases, for example,
by treatment with a suitable acid or with a suitable ion exchanger
reagent.
[0089] Salts of compounds of formula I can be converted in a manner
known per se into other salts of compounds of formula I, acid
addition salts, for example, into other acid addition salts, for
example by treatment of a salt of inorganic acid such as
hydrochloride with a suitable metal salt such as a sodium, barium
or silver salt, of an acid, for example with silver acetate, in a
suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt which forms, for
example silver chloride, is insoluble and thus precipitates from
the reaction mixture.
[0090] Depending on the procedure or the reaction conditions, the
compounds of formula I, which have salt-forming properties can be
obtained in free form or in the form of salts.
[0091] The compounds of formula I and, where appropriate, the
tautomers thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can
be present in the form of one of the isomers which are possible or
as a mixture of these, for example in the form of pure isomers,
such as antipodes and/or diastereomers, or as isomer mixtures, such
as enantiomer mixtures, for example racemates, diastereomer
mixtures or racemate mixtures, depending on the number, absolute
and relative configuration of asymmetric carbon atoms which occur
in the molecule and/or depending on the configuration of
non-aromatic double bonds which occur in the molecule; the
invention relates to the pure isomers and also to all isomer
mixtures which are possible and is to be understood in each case in
this sense hereinabove and hereinbelow, even when stereochemical
details are not mentioned specifically in each case.
[0092] Diastereomer mixtures or racemate mixtures of compounds of
formula I, in free form or in salt form, which can be obtained
depending on which starting materials and procedures have been
chosen can be separated in a known manner into the pure
diasteromers or racemates on the basis of the physicochemical
differences of the components, for example by fractional
crystallization, distillation and/or chromatography.
[0093] Enantiomer mixtures, such as racemates, which can be
obtained in a similar manner can be resolved into the optical
antipodes by known methods, for example by recrystallization from
an optically active solvent, by chromatography on chiral
adsorbents, for example high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) on acetyl celulose, with the aid of suitable microorganisms,
by cleavage with specific, immobilized enzymes, via the formation
of inclusion compounds, for example using chiral crown ethers,
where only one enantiomer is complexed, or by conversion into
diastereomeric salts, for example by reacting a basic end-product
racemate with an optically active acid, such as a carboxylic acid,
for example camphor, tartaric or malic acid, or sulfonic acid, for
example camphorsulfonic acid, and separating the diastereomer
mixture which can be obtained in this manner, for example by
fractional crystallization based on their differing solubilities,
to give the diastereomers, from which the desired enantiomer can be
set free by the action of suitable agents, for example basic
agents.
[0094] Pure diastereomers or enantiomers can be obtained according
to the invention not only by separating suitable isomer mixtures,
but also by generally known methods of diastereoselective or
enantioselective synthesis, for example by carrying out the process
according to the invention with starting materials of a suitable
stereochemistry.
[0095] N-oxides can be prepared by reacting a compound of the
formula I with a suitable oxidizing agent, for example the
H.sub.2O.sub.2/urea adduct in the presence of an acid anhydride,
e.g. trifluoroacetic anhydride. Such oxidations are known from the
literature, for example from J. Med. Chem., 32 (12), 2561-73, 1989
or WO 00/15615.
[0096] It is advantageous to isolate or synthesize in each case the
biologically more effective isomer, for example enantiomer or
diastereomer, or isomer mixture, for example enantiomer mixture or
diastereomer mixture, if the individual components have a different
biological activity.
[0097] The compounds of formula I and, where appropriate, the
tautomers thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, can,
if appropriate, also be obtained in the form of hydrates and/or
include other solvents, for example those which may have been used
for the crystallization of compounds which are present in solid
form.
[0098] The compounds of formula I according to the invention are
preventively and/or curatively valuable active ingredients in the
field of pest control, even at low rates of application, which have
a very favorable biocidal spectrum and are well tolerated by
warm-blooded species, fish and plants. The active ingredients
according to the invention act against all or individual
developmental stages of normally sensitive, but also resistant,
animal pests, such as insects or representatives of the order
Acarina. The insecticidal or acaricidal activity of the active
ingredients according to the invention can manifest itself
directly, i. e. in destruction of the pests, which takes place
either immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for example
during ecdysis, or indirectly, for example in a reduced oviposition
and/or hatching rate.

[0135] The term "crops" is to be understood as including also crop
plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA
techniques that they are capable of synthesising one or more
selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from
toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus
Bacillus.
[0136] Toxins that can be expressed by such transgenic plants
include, for example, insecticidal proteins, for example
insecticidal proteins from Bacillus cereus or Bacillus popilliae;
or insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as
.delta.-endotoxins, e.g. Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1F, Cry1Fa2, Cry2Ab,
Cry3A, Cry3Bb1 or Cry9C, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip),
e.g. Vip1, Vip2, Vip3 or Vip3A; or insecticidal proteins of
bacteria colonising nematodes, for example Photorhabdus spp. or
Xenorhabdus spp., such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus
nematophilus; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins,
arachnid toxins, wasp toxins and other insect-specific neurotoxins;
toxins produced by fungi, such as Streptomycetes toxins, plant
lectins, such as pea lectins, barley lectins or snowdrop lectins;
agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors,
serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin, papain inhibitors;
ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP,
abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such
as 3-hydroxysteroidoxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glycosyl-transferase,
cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors, HMG-COA-reductase, ion
channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels,
juvenile hormone esterase, diuretic hormone receptors, stilbene
synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases and glucanases.
[0137] In the context of the present invention there are to be
understood by .delta.-endotoxins, for example Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac,
Cry1F, Cry1Fa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bb1 or Cry9C, or vegetative
insecticidal proteins (Vip), for example Vip1, Vip2, Vip3 or Vip3A,
expressly also hybrid toxins, truncated toxins and modified toxins.
Hybrid toxins are produced recombinantly by a new combination of
different domains of those proteins (see, for example, WO
02/15701). Truncated toxins, for example a truncated Cry1Ab, are
known. In the case of modified toxins, one or more amino acids of
the naturally occurring toxin are replaced. In such amino acid
replacements, preferably non-naturally present protease recognition
sequences are inserted into the toxin, such as, for example, in the
case of Cry3A055, a cathepsin-G-recognition sequence is inserted
into a Cry3A toxin (see WO 03/018810). Examples of such toxins or
transgenic plants capable of synthesising such toxins are
disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO
95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A-451 878 and WO 03/052073.
[0138] The processes for the preparation of such transgenic plants
are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are
described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Cry1-type deoxyribonucleic acids and their preparation are known,
for example, from WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 367 474, EP-A-0 401 979 and
WO 90/13651.
[0139] The toxin contained in the transgenic plants imparts to the
plants tolerance to harmful insects. Such insects can occur in any
taxonomic group of insects, but are especially commonly found in
the beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera) and moths
(Lepidoptera).
[0140] Transgenic plants containing one or more genes that code for
an insecticidal resistance and express one or more toxins are known
and some of them are commercially available. Examples of such
plants are: YieldGard.RTM. (maize variety that expresses a Cry1Ab
toxin); YieldGard Rootworm.RTM. (maize variety that expresses a
Cry3Bb1 toxin); YieldGard Plus.RTM. (maize variety that expresses a
Cry1Ab and a Cry3Bb1 toxin); Starlink.RTM. (maize variety that
expresses a Cry9C toxin); Herculex I.RTM. (maize variety that
expresses a Cry1Fa2 toxin and the enzyme phosphinothricine
N-acetyltransferase (PAT) to achieve tolerance to the herbicide
glufosinate ammonium); NuCOTN 33B.RTM. (cotton variety that
expresses a Cry1Ac toxin); Bollgard I.RTM. (cotton variety that
expresses a Cry1Ac toxin); Bollgard (cotton variety that expresses
a Cry1Ac and a Cry2Ab toxin); VipCot.RTM. (cotton variety that
expresses a Vip3A and a Cry1Ab toxin); NewLeaf.RTM. (potato variety
that expresses a Cry3A toxin); NatureGard.RTM., Agrisure.RTM. GT
Advantage (GA21 glyphosate-tolerant trait), Agrisure.RTM. CB
Advantage (Bt11 corn borer (CB) trait) and Protecta.RTM..

which imparts tolerance to the herbicide Roundup.RTM. (contains
glyphosate), and also a Cry1Ab toxin obtained from Bacillus
thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki which brings about tolerance to
certain Lepidoptera, include the European corn borer.
[0149] Transgenic crops of insect-resistant plants are also
described in BATS (Zentrum fur Biosicherheit and Nachhaltigkeit,
Zentrum BATS, Clarastrasse 13, 4058 Basel, Switzerland) Report
2003, (http://bats.ch).
[0150] The term "crops" is to be understood as including also crop
plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA
techniques that they are capable of synthesising antipathogenic
substances having a selective action, such as, for example, the
so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0
392 225). Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic
plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are
known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 95/33818 and EP-A-0 353
191. The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally
known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for
example, in the publications mentioned above.
[0151] Crops may also be modified for enhanced resistance to fungal
(for example Fusarium, Anthracnose, or Phytophthora), bacterial
(for example Pseudomonas) or viral (for example potato leafroll
virus, tomato spotted wilt virus, cucumber mosaic virus)
pathogens.
[0152] Crops also include those that have enhanced resistance to
nematodes, such as the soybean cyst nematode.
[0153] Crops that are tolerance to abiotic stress include those
that have enhanced tolerance to drought, high salt, high
temperature, chill, frost, or light radiation, for example through
expression of NF-YB or other proteins known in the art.
[0154] Antipathogenic substances which can be expressed by such
transgenic plants include, for example, ion channel blockers, such
as blockers for sodium and calcium channels, for example the viral
KP1, KP4 or KP6 toxins; stilbene synthases; bibenzyl synthases;
chitinases; glucanases; the so-called "pathogenesis-related
proteins" (PRPs; see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225); antipathogenic
substances produced by microorganisms, for example peptide
antibiotics or heterocyclic antibiotics (see e.g. WO 95/33818) or
protein or polypeptide factors involved in plant pathogen defence
(so-called "plant disease resistance genes", as described in WO
03/000906).
[0155] Further areas of use of the compositions according to the
invention are the protection of stored goods and store rooms and
the protection of raw materials, such as wood, textiles, floor
coverings or buildings, and also in the hygiene sector, especially
the protection of humans, domestic animals and productive livestock
against pests of the mentioned type.
[0156] The present invention also provides a method for controlling
pests (such as mosquitoes and other disease vectors; see also
http://www.whoint/malaria/vector_controltirs/en/). In one
embodiment, the method for controlling pests comprises applying the
compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus
or to a surface or substrate by brushing, rolling, spraying,
spreading or dipping. By way of example, an IRS (indoor residual
spraying) application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor
surface is contemplated by the method of the invention. In another
embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions to a
substrate such as non-woven or a fabric material in the form of (or
which can be used in the manufacture of) netting, clothing,
bedding, curtains and tents.
[0157] In one embodiment, the method for controlling such pests
comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of the
compositions of the invention to the target pests, to their locus,
or to a surface or substrate so as to provide effective residual
pesticidal activity on the surface or substrate. Such application
may be made by brushing, rolling, spraying, spreading or dipping
the pesticidal composition of the invention. By way of example, an
IRS application of a surface such as a wall, ceiling or floor
surface is contemplated by the method of the invention so as to
provide effective residual pesticidal activity on the surface. In
another embodiment, it is contemplated to apply such compositions
for residual control of pests on a substrate such as a fabric
material in the form of (or which can be used in the manufacture
of) netting, clothing, bedding, curtains and tents.
[0158] Substrates including non-woven, fabrics or netting to be
treated may be made of natural fibres such as cotton, raffia, jute,
flax, sisal, hessian, or wool, or synthetic fibres such as
polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile or the like.
The polyesters are particularly suitable. The methods of textile
treatment are known, e.g. WO 2008/151984, WO 2003/034823, US
5631072, WO 2005/64072, WO 2006/128870, EP 1724392, WO 2005/113886
or WO 2007/090739.
[0159] Further areas of use of the compositions according to the
invention are the field of tree injection/trunk treatment for all
ornamental trees as well all sort of fruit and nut trees.
[0160] In the field of tree injection/trunk treatment, the
compounds according to the present invention are especially

[0176] The compositions according to the invention are also
suitable for protecting against insect infestation in the case of
materials such as wood, textiles, plastics, adhesives, glues,
paints, paper and card, leather, floor coverings and buildings.
[0177] The compositions according to the invention can be used, for
example, against the following pests: beetles such as Hylotrupes
bajulus, Chlorophorus pilosis, Anobium punctatum, Xestobium
rufovillosum, Ptilinuspecticornis, Dendrobium pertinex, Ernobius
mollis, Priobium carpini, Lyctus brunneus, Lyctus africanus, Lyctus

Reticulitermes santonensis, Reticulitermes lucifugus, Mastotermes
darwiniensis, Zootermopsis nevadensis and Coptotermes formosanus,
and bristletails such as Lepisma saccharina.
[0178] The compounds according to the invention can be used as
pesticidal agents in unmodified form, but they are generally
formulated into compositions in various ways using formulation
adjuvants, such as carriers, solvents and surface-active
substances. The formulations can be in various physical forms, e.g.
in the form of dusting powders, gels, wettable powders,
water-dispersible granules, water-dispersible tablets, effervescent
pellets, emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsifiable concentrates,
oil-in-water emulsions, oil-flowables, aqueous dispersions, oily
dispersions, suspo-emulsions, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable
granules, soluble liquids, water-soluble concentrates (with water
or a water-miscible organic solvent as carrier), impregnated
polymer films or in other forms known e.g. from the Manual on
Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides,
United Nations, First Edition, Second Revision (2010). Such
formulations can either be used directly or diluted prior to use.
The dilutions can be made, for example, with water, liquid
fertilisers, micronutrients, biological organisms, oil or
solvents.
[0179] The formulations can be prepared e.g. by mixing the active
ingredient with the formulation adjuvants in order to obtain
compositions in the form of finely divided solids, granules,
solutions, dispersions or emulsions. The active ingredients can
also be formulated with other adjuvants, such as finely divided
solids, mineral oils, oils of vegetable or animal origin, modified
oils of vegetable or animal origin, organic solvents, water,
surface-active substances or combinations thereof.
[0180] The active ingredients can also be contained in very fine
microcapsules. Microcapsules contain the active ingredients in a
porous carrier. This enables the active ingredients to be released
into the environment in controlled amounts (e.g. slow-release).
Microcapsules usually have a diameter of from 0.1 to 500 microns.
They contain active ingredients in an amount of about from 25 to
95% by weight of the capsule weight. The active ingredients can be
in the form of a monolithic solid, in the form of fine particles in
solid or liquid dispersion or in the form of a suitable solution.
The encapsulating membranes can comprise, for example, natural or
synthetic rubbers, cellulose, styrene/butadiene copolymers,
polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylate, polyesters, polyamides, polyureas,
polyurethane or chemically modified polymers and starch xanthates
or other polymers that are known to the person skilled in the art.
Alternatively, very fine microcapsules can be formed in which the
active ingredient is contained in the form of finely divided
particles in a solid matrix of base substance, but the
microcapsules are not themselves encapsulated.
[0181] The formulation adjuvants that are suitable for the
preparation of the compositions according to the invention are
known per se. As liquid carriers there may be used: water, toluene,
xylene, petroleum ether, vegetable oils, acetone, methyl ethyl
ketone, cyclohexanone, acid anhydrides, acetonitrile, acetophenone,

xylenesulfonic acid, paraffin, mineral oil, trichloroethylene,
perchloroethylene, ethyl acetate, amyl acetate, butyl acetate,
propylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether,
methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and alcohols of higher molecular
weight, such as amyl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, hexanol,
octanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol,
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and the like.
[0182] Suitable solid carriers are, for example, talc, titanium
dioxide, pyrophyllite clay, silica, attapulgite clay, kieselguhr,
limestone, calcium carbonate, bentonite, calcium montmorillonite,
cottonseed husks, wheat flour, soybean flour, pumice, wood flour,
ground walnut shells, lignin and similar substances.
[0183] A large number of surface-active substances can
advantageously be used in both solid and liquid formulations,
especially in those formulations which can be diluted with a
carrier prior to use. Surface-active substances may be anionic,
cationic, non-ionic or polymeric and they can be used as
emulsifiers, wetting agents or suspending agents or for other
purposes. Typical surface-active substances include, for example,
salts of alkyl sulfates, such as diethanolammonium lauryl sulfate;
salts of alkylarylsulfonates, such as calcium
dodecylbenzenesulfonate; alkylphenol/alkylene oxide addition
products, such as nonylphenol ethoxylate; alcohol/alkylene oxide
addition products, such as tridecylalcohol ethoxylate; soaps, such
as sodium stearate; salts of alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, such as
sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate; dialkyl esters of
sulfosuccinate salts, such as sodium
di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate; sorbitol esters, such as sorbitol
oleate; quaternary amines, such as lauryltrimethylammonium
chloride, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, such as
polyethylene glycol stearate; block copolymers of ethylene oxide
and propylene oxide; and salts of mono- and di-alkylphosphate
esters; and also further substances described e.g. in McCutcheon's
Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood
N.J. (1981).
[0184] Further adjuvants that can be used in pesticidal
formulations include crystallisation inhibitors, viscosity
modifiers, suspending agents, dyes, anti-oxidants, foaming agents,
light absorbers, mixing auxiliaries, antifoams, complexing agents,
neutralising or pH-modifying substances and buffers, corrosion
inhibitors, fragrances, wetting agents, take-up enhancers,
micronutrients, plasticisers, glidants, lubricants, dispersants,
thickeners, antifreezes, microbicides, and liquid and solid
fertilisers.
[0185] The compositions according to the invention can include an
additive comprising an oil of vegetable or animal origin, a mineral
oil, alkyl esters of such oils or mixtures of such oils and oil
derivatives. The amount of oil additive in the composition
according to the invention is generally from 0.01 to 10%, based on
the mixture to be applied. For example, the oil additive can be
added to a spray tank in the desired concentration after a spray
mixture has been prepared. Preferred oil additives comprise mineral
oils or an oil of vegetable origin, for example rapeseed oil, olive
oil or sunflower oil, emulsified vegetable oil, alkyl esters of
oils of vegetable origin, for example the methyl derivatives, or an
oil of animal origin, such as fish oil or beef tallow. Preferred
oil additives comprise alkyl esters of C.sub.8-C.sub.22 fatty
acids, especially the methyl derivatives of C.sub.12-C.sub.18 fatty
acids, for example the methyl esters of lauric acid, palmitic acid
and oleic acid (methyl laurate, methyl palmitate and methyl oleate,
respectively). Many oil derivatives are known from the Compendium
of Herbicide Adjuvants, 10.sup.th Edition, Southern Illinois
University, 2010.
[0186] The inventive compositions generally comprise from 0.1 to
99% by weight, especially from 0.1 to 95% by weight, of compounds
of the present invention and from 1 to 99.9% by weight of a
formulation adjuvant which preferably includes from 0 to 25% by
weight of a surface-active substance. Whereas commercial products
may preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will
normally employ dilute formulations.
[0187] The rates of application vary within wide limits and depend
on the nature of the soil, the method of application, the crop
plant, the pest to be controlled, the prevailing climatic
conditions, and other factors governed by the method of
application, the time of application and the target crop. As a
general guideline compounds may be applied at a rate of from 1 to
2000 I/ha, especially from 10 to 1000 I/ha.

[0237] The activity of the compositions according to the invention
can be broadened considerably, and adapted to prevailing
circumstances, by adding other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or
fungicidally active ingredients. The mixtures of the compounds of
formula I with other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or
fungicidally active ingredients may also have further surprising
advantages which can also be described, in a wider sense, as
synergistic activity. For example, better tolerance by plants,
reduced phytotoxicity, insects can be controlled in their different
development stages or better behaviour during their production, for
example during grinding or mixing, during their storage or during
their use. Suitable additions to active ingredients here are, for
example, representatives of the following classes of active
ingredients: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenol derivatives,
thioureas, juvenile hormones, formamidines, benzophenone
derivatives, ureas, pyrrole derivatives, carbamates, pyrethroids,
chlorinated hydrocarbons, acylureas, pyridylmethyleneamino
derivatives, macrolides, neonicotinoids and Bacillus thuringiensis
preparations.

hereinabove to the particular compound, the compound in question is
included in the "Compendium of Pesticide Common Names", which is
accessible on the internet [A. Wood; Compendium of Pesticide Common
Names, Copyright.RTM. 1995-2004]; for example, the compound
"acetoprole" is described under the internet address
http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/acetoprole.html.
[0261] Most of the active ingredients described above are referred
to hereinabove by a so-called "common name", the relevant "ISO
common name" or another "common name" being used in individual
cases. If the designation is not a "common name", the nature of the
designation used instead is given in round brackets for the
particular compound; in that case, the IUPAC name, the
IUPAC/Chemical Abstracts name, a "chemical name", a "traditional

"alternative name" is employed. "CAS Reg. No" means the Chemical
Abstracts Registry Number.
[0262] The active ingredient mixture of the compounds of formula I
selected from Tables A-1 to BE-300 with active ingredients
described above comprises a compound selected from Tables A-1 to
BE-300 and an active ingredient as described above preferably in a
mixing ratio of from 100:1 to 1:6000, especially from 50:1 to 1:50,
more especially in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1:20, even more
especially from 10:1 to 1:10, very especially from 5:1 and 1:5,
special preference being given to a ratio of from 2:1 to 1:2, and a
ratio of from 4:1 to 2:1 being likewise preferred, above all in a
ratio of 1:1, or 5:1, or 5:2, or 5:3, or 5:4, or 4:1, or 4:2, or
4:3, or 3:1, or 3:2, or 2:1, or 1:5, or 2:5, or 3:5, or 4:5, or
1:4, or 2:4, or 3:4, or 1:3, or 2:3, or 1:2, or 1:600, or 1:300, or
1:150, or 1:35, or 2:35, or 4:35, or 1:75, or 2:75, or 4:75, or
1:6000, or 1:3000, or 1:1500, or 1:350, or 2:350, or 4:350, or
1:750, or 2:750, or 4:750. Those mixing ratios are by weight.
[0263] The mixtures as described above can be used in a method for
controlling pests, which comprises applying a composition
comprising a mixture as described above to the pests or their
environment, with the exception of a method for treatment of the
human or animal body by surgery or therapy and diagnostic methods
practised on the human or animal body.
[0264] The mixtures comprising a compound of formula I selected
from Tables A-1 to BE-300 and one or more active ingredients as
described above can be applied, for example, in a single
"ready-mix" form, in a combined spray mixture composed from
separate formulations of the single active ingredient components,
such as a "tank-mix", and in a combined use of the single active
ingredients when applied in a sequential manner, i.e. one after the
other with a reasonably short period, such as a few hours or days.
The order of applying the compounds of formula I selected from
Tables A-1 to BE-300 and the active ingredients as described above
is not essential for working the present invention.
[0265] The compositions according to the invention can also
comprise further solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabilizers,
for example unepoxidized or epoxidized vegetable oils (for example
epoxidized coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for
example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders
and/or tackifiers, fertilizers or other active ingredients for
achieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides,
nematocides, plant activators, molluscicides or herbicides.
[0266] The compositions according to the invention are prepared in
a manner known per se, in the absence of auxiliaries for example by
grinding, screening and/or compressing a solid active ingredient
and in the presence of at least one auxiliary for example by
intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient with the
auxiliary (auxiliaries). These processes for the preparation of the
compositions and the use of the compounds I for the preparation of
these compositions are also a subject of the invention.
[0267] The application methods for the compositions, that is the
methods of controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as
spraying, atomizing, dusting, brushing on, dressing, scattering or
pouring--which are to be selected to suit the intended aims of the
prevailing circumstances--and the use of the compositions for
controlling pests of the abovementioned type are other subjects of
the invention. Typical rates of concentration are between 0.1 and
1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient.
The rate of application per hectare is generally 1 to 2000 g of
active ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha,
preferably 10 to 600 g/ha.
[0268] A preferred method of application in the field of crop
protection is application to the foliage of the plants (foliar
application), it being possible to select frequency and rate of
application to match the danger of infestation with the pest in
question. Alternatively, the active ingredient can reach the plants
via the root system (systemic action), by drenching the locus of
the plants with a liquid composition or by incorporating the active
ingredient in solid form into the locus of the plants, for example
into the soil, for example in the form of granules (soil
application). In the case of paddy rice crops, such granules can be
metered into the flooded paddy-field.
[0269] The compounds of the invention and compositions thereof are
also be suitable for the protection of plant propagation material,
for example seeds, such as fruit, tubers or kernels, or nursery
plants, against pests of the abovementioned type. The propagation
material can be treated with the compound prior to planting, for
example seed can be treated prior to sowing. Alternatively, the
compound can be applied to seed kernels (coating), either by
soaking the kernels in a liquid composition or by applying a layer
of a solid composition. It is also possible to apply the
compositions when the propagation material is planted to the site
of application, for example into the seed furrow during drilling.
These treatment methods for plant propagation material and the
plant propagation material thus treated are further subjects of the
invention. Typical treatment rates would depend on the plant and
pest/fungi to be controlled and are generally between 1 to 200
grams per 100 kg of seeds, preferably between 5 to 150 grams per
100 kg of seeds, such as between 10 to 100 grams per 100 kg of
seeds.
[0270] The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all
kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces,
suckers, corns, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, rhizomes, cuttings,
cut shoots and the like and means in a preferred embodiment true
seeds.
[0271] The present invention also comprises seeds coated or treated
with or containing a compound of formula I. The term "coated or
treated with and/or containing" generally signifies that the active
ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the seed at the
time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the
ingredient may penetrate into the seed material, depending on the
method of application. When the said seed product is (re)planted,
it may absorb the active ingredient. In an embodiment, the present
invention makes available a plant propagation material adhered
thereto with a compound of formula (I). Further, it is hereby made
available, a composition comprising a plant propagation material
treated with a compound of formula (I).
[0272] Seed treatment comprises all suitable seed treatment
techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating,
seed dusting, seed soaking and seed pelleting. The seed treatment
application of the compound formula (I) can be carried out by any
known methods, such as spraying or by dusting the seeds before
sowing or during the sowing/planting of the seeds.

Example B6: Myzus persicae (Green Peach Aphid): Systemic
Activity
[0283] Roots of pea seedlings infested with an aphid population of
mixed ages were placed directly into aqueous test solutions
prepared from 10'000 DMSO stock solutions. The samples were
assessed for mortality 6 days after placing seedlings into test
solutions.
[0284] Compounds were assessed for at least 80% mortality at a test
rate of 24 ppm.
Example B7: Plutella xylostella (Diamond Back Moth)
[0285] 24-well microtiter plates with artificial diet were treated
with aqueous test solutions prepared from 10'000 ppm DMSO stock
solutions by pipetting. After drying, the plates were infested with
L2 larvae (10 to 15 per well). The samples were assessed for
mortality and growth inhibition in comparison to untreated samples
5 days after infestation.
[0286] The following compounds gave an effect of at least 80% in at
least one of the two categories (mortality or growth inhibition) at
an application rate of 200 ppm: P1, P2, P3, P4.
Example B8: Spodoptera littoralis (Egyptian Cotton Leaf Worm)
[0287] Cotton leaf discs were placed onto agar in 24-well
microtiter plates and sprayed with aqueous test solutions prepared
from 10'000 ppm DMSO stock solutions. After drying the leaf discs
were infested with five L1 larvae. The samples were assessed for
mortality, anti-feeding effect, and growth inhibition in comparison
to untreated samples 3 days after infestation. Control of
Spodoptera littoralis by a test sample is given when at least one
of the categories mortality, anti-feedant effect, and growth
inhibition is higher than the untreated sample.
[0288] The following compounds resulted in at least 80% control at
an application rate of 200 ppm: P1, P2, P3, P4.
Example B9: Spodoptera littoralis (Egyptian Cotton Leaf Worm)
[0289] Test compounds were applied by pipette from 10'000 ppm DMSO
stock solutions into 24-well plates and mixed with agar. Lettuce
seeds were placed onto the agar and the multi well plate was closed
by another plate which contained also agar. After 7 days the
compound was absorbed by the roots and the lettuce grew into the
lid plate. The lettuce leaves were then cut off into the lid plate.
Spodoptera eggs were pipetted through a plastic stencil onto a
humid gel blotting paper and the lid plate was closed with it. The
samples were assessed for mortality, anti-feedant effect and growth
inhibition in comparison to untreated samples 6 days after
infestation.
[0290] Compounds were assessed for at least 80% in at least one of
the three categories (mortality, anti-feeding, or growth
inhibition) at a test rate of 12.5 ppm.
Example B10: Tetranychus urticae (Two-Spotted Spider Mite):
Feeding/Contact Activity
[0291] Bean leaf discs on agar in 24-well microtiter plates were
sprayed with aqueous test solutions prepared from 10'000 ppm DMSO
stock solutions. After drying the leaf discs were infested with a
mite population of mixed ages. The samples were assessed for
mortality on mixed population (mobile stages) 8 days after
infestation.
[0292] Compounds were assessed for at least 80% mortality at an
application rate of 200 ppm.
Example B11: Thrips tabaci (Onion Thrips): Feeding/Contact
Activity
[0293] Sunflower leaf discs were placed on agar in 24-well
microtiter plates and sprayed with aqueous test solutions prepared
from 10'000 ppm DMSO stock solutions. After drying the leaf discs
were infested with a thrips population of mixed ages. The samples
were assessed for mortality 6 days after infestation.
[0294] Compounds were assessed for at least 80% mortality at an
application rate of 200 ppm.
