Abstract:
A method for controlling an insect pest, comprising administering to said insect pest an insect pest-controlling effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of formula I, and salt, acid and ester forms thereof: wherein: X is cyclopropyl; Z is selected from the group consisting of â€”OH, â€”NH2, â€”NHR6 and â€”OR6 wherein R6 is C1-C6 alkyl, alkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkylalkyl, and optionally substituted aralkyl; m&gE;0 and n&gE;1 and (m+n) can have any integer value from 1 to 12 inclusive; the ring bearing substituents R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 is a phenyl ring or a cyclohexyl ring, or a corresponding ring wherein one or more ring carbon atom(s) has been replaced by nitrogen atom(s); R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting ofâ€”H, â€”OH, halo, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, nitro, amino, and phenyl; subject to the proviso that: when the ring is a phenyl ring, a pair of R1 and R2, R2 and R3, or R3 and R4 on the phenyl ring may together represent â€”CR7&boxH;CR8-CR9&boxH;CR10âˆ’, to form with the phenyl ring illustrated above a naphthyl ring system, wherein R7, R8, R9, and R10 are each independently selected from the group consisting of â€”H, â€”OH, halo, nitro, amino, C1-C6 alkyl, and C1-C6 alkoxy.
