Preferred compounds are those in which Y is hydrogen, X is phenyl and C, - C 4 alkoxy, Z is oxygen, and R is C,-C 6 alkyl. The most preferred compound is 2-(4- methoxy[l,l'-biphenyl]-3-yl)hydrazinecarboxylic acid, 1-methylethyl ester (also known as isopropyl 3-(4-methoxy-3-biphenylyl)carbazate or Bifenazate). The compounds having structure (I) are prepared by a series of reactions represented by the following: where X, Y, Z, and R are as described above. The product of this reaction may be further acylated, or converted by oxidation with an oxidizing agent such as Pd/air to form compounds having structure (II). 3-Amino-4-methoxybiphenyl hydrochloride is a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of Bifenazate. It is commercially available, but is too expensive to permit use of the commercial material on a large scale. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive route for the manufacture of 3-amino-4-methoxybiphenyl hydrochloride. This object has been accomplished by starting with 4-hydroxybiphenyl and nitrating it to form 3- nitro-4-hydroxybiphenyl. For the nitration, a novel method, which was carried out in a suitable organic solvent, was developed. The nitration was realized by dissolving the 4- hydroxybiphenyl in an organic solvent, such as, methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), and nitrating it with commercially available 69% - 71% nitric acid. Several organic solvents, in addition to MBTE have been tried, including ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (Glyme), 2-methoxyethyl ether (Diglyme). acetone, acetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid, and it has been found that the choice of organic solvent has a great impact on the nitration yield and purity of the product. See Table I. The traditional nitration method using a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid was also used with 4-hydroxybiphenyl, but it was found that a large quantity of by-products was formed. After the 3-nitro-4-hydroxybiphenyl is formed as described above, it is then reacted with dimethylsulfate to form 3-nitro-4-methoxybiphenyl, which is then reduced to form 3- amino-4-methoxybiphenyl. The 3-amino-4-methoxybiphenyl is precipitated by the addition of hydrochloric acid solution, forming the desired 3-amino-4-methoxybiphenyl hydrochloride. Additionally, unlike other methods known in the art, which involve the use of heavy metal inorganic salts, such as, lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, copper(II) nitrate, and ferric nitrate nonahydrate, the improved method of the present invention not only produces 3- amino-4-methoxybiphenyl hydrochloride in high yield, but also produces less waste. The foregoing may be represented by the following: The 3-amino-4-methoxybiphenyl hydrochloride prepared as above can then be converted to the 4-methoxy-3-biphenyldiazonium salt by reaction with sodium nitrite by means of the well-known diazonium reaction. In the meantime, fresh potassium sulfite solution is prepared by purging sulfur dioxide into potassium hydroxide until the pH is between 7.3 and 7.5. The 4-methoxy-3-biphenyldiazonium salt is then added to the freshly prepared potassium sulfite solution at 0° C. to form 4-methoxy-3-biphenyldiazo sulfonate. The discovery of the use of freshly prepared alkali metal sulfite as a reducing agent is of great importance in the preparation of Bifenazate. Only the freshly prepared sulfite solution, prepared from alkali metal hydroxide and sulfur dioxide, was found to have the ability to reduce the diazonium salt to the diazosulfonate compound. Commercially available sodium sulfite and potassium sulfite were tried, but none of the desired product was formed, only a black tar. Sodium sulfite made by neutralizing sulfurous acid with two molar equivalents of sodium hydroxide was also tested in the reaction, but only a low yield was achieved. See Table II. The 4-methoxy-3-biphenyldiazo sulfonate formed above was then further reduced to 4-methoxy-3-biphenylhydrazine sulfonate with sodium dithionite, which was followed by hydrolysis under acid conditions to form 4-methoxy-3-biphenylhydrazine hydrochloride. This product can then be reacted with isopropylchloroformate to form Bifenazate, i.e.. The foregoing reactions may be summarized by the following: Na,S 2 0 4 / 50° C. Bifenazate Compositions can be prepared from the compounds prepared by the process of this invention by mixing a compound having a structure of formula (I) or (II) above with a suitable carrier. Such suitable carriers may be solid or liquid in nature. Suitable liquid carriers may be comprised of water, alcohols, ketones, phenols, toluene, and xylenes. In such formulations, additives conventionally employed in the art may be utilized such as, for example, one or more surface active agents and/or inert diluents, to facilitate handling an application of the resulting pesticide composition. The pesticidal compositions may alternatively comprise solid carriers taking the form of dusts, granules, wettable powders. pastes, aerosols, emulsions, emulsifiable concentrates, and water-soluble solids. For example, the pesticidal compounds prepared by the process of the present invention may be applied as dusts when admixed with or adsorbed onto powdered solid carriers, such as mineral silicates, e.g., mica, talc, pyrophyllite and clays, together with a surface-active dispersing agent so that a wettable powder is obtained that then is applicable directly to the loci to be treated. Alternatively, the powdered solid carrier containing the compound admixed therewith may be dispersed in water to form a suspension for application in such form. Granular formulations of the compounds, suitable for application by broadcasting, side dressing, soil incorporation or seed treatment, are suitably prepared using a granular or pellitized form of carrier such as granular clays, vermiculite, charcoal, or corn cobs. Alternatively, the pesticidal compounds may be applied in liquids or sprays when utilized in a liquid carrier, such as in a solution comprising a compatible solvent such as acetone, benzene, toluene, or kerosene, or as dispersed in a suitable non-solvent medium, for example, water. Another method of application to loci to be treated is aerosol treatment, for which the compound may be dissolved in an aerosol carrier that is a liquid under pressure but which is a gas at ordinary temperature (e.g., 20° C.) and atmospheric pressure. Aerosol formulations may also be prepared by first dissolving the compound in a less volatile solvent and then admixing the resulting solution with a highly volatile liquid aerosol carrier. For pesticidal treatment of plants (such term including plant parts), the compounds prepared employing the process of the present invention preferably are applied in aqueous emulsions containing a surface-active dispersing agent, which may be non-ionic, cationic, or anionic. Suitable surface-active agents include those known in the art, such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 2,547,724 (columns 3 and 4). The compounds may be mixed with such surface-active dispersing agents, with or without an organic solvent, as concentrates for the subsequent addition of water to yield aqueous suspensions of the compounds at desired concentration levels. In addition, the compounds may be employed with carriers which themselves are pesticidally active, such as, insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, or bactericides. It will be understood that the amount of the pesticidally active compound in a given formulation will depend upon the specific pest to be combatted, as well as upon the specific chemical composition and formulation of the compound being employed, the method of applying the compound/formulation and the locus of treatment so that the pesticidally effective amount of the compound may vary widely. Generally, however, concentrations of the compound as the active ingredient in pesticidally effective formulations may range from about 0.1 to about 95 percent by weight. Spray dilutions may be as low as a few parts per million, while at the opposite extreme, full strength concentrates of the compound may be usefully applied by ultra low volume techniques. Concentration per unit area, where plants constitute the loci of treatment, may range between about 0.01 and about 50 pounds per acre, with concentrations of between about 0.1 and about 10 pounds per acre preferably being employed for crops such as corn, tobacco, rice, and the like. To combat pests, sprays of the compounds may be applied to the pests directly and/or to plants upon which they feed or nest. The pesticidally active formulations may also be applied to the soil or other medium in which the pests are present. Harmful insects, nematodes, and acarids attack a wide variety of plants, including both ornamental and agricultural plants and inflict damage by consuming roots and/or foliage, withdrawing vital juices from the plants, secreting toxins, and often by transmitting diseases. The compounds prepared by the process of the present invention may be advantageously utilized to minimize or prevent such damage. The specific methods of application, as well as the selection and concentration of these compounds will, of course, vary depending upon such circumstances as geographic area, climate, topography, plant tolerance, etc. For specific circumstances, one skilled in the art may readily determine the proper compound, concentration, and method of application by routine experimentation. The compounds are particularly useful as insecticides, nematicides and acaricides, for foliar and/or soil application. The advantages and the important features of the present invention will be more apparent from the following examples.

The AMBPH solution was cooled to -5° C. A 30% (27.6 grams, 0.39 mol) sodium nitrite solution was prepared and transferred dropwise via a dropping funnel to the AMBPH solution to keep the temperature below 0° C. After the addition was complete, the reaction was continued for one hour. (2) Potassium Sulfite Solution Preparation 80.8 Grams of potassium hydroxide was dissolved in 400 mL of water and placed in a two liter reactor. Sulfur dioxide gas was bubbled into the reactor until the pH of the solution was 7.5, whereupon the solution was cooled to 0° C. (3) Diazo Sulfonate Solution Preparation The diazonium salt solution was added to the potassium sulfite solution at 0° C. The color of the solution immediately turned a dark orange. The solution was stirred for half an hour at 0° C. and then heated to 50° C. The color of the solution turned yellow during the heating. The mixture was then stirred at 50° C. for another half-hour. The pH was between 5.8 and 6. (4) Reduction 46 Grams of potassium hydroxide was dissolved in 50 mL of water and the solution was transferred to the diazo sulfonate solution, causing the pH to increase to 12 - 13. A quantity of 110.4 grams of sodium dithionite (Na 2 S,O 4 ) was added to reduce the diazo sulfonate. A pale yellow solution formed. The reaction was maintained at 50° C. for one hour. (5) Hydrolysis to 4-Methoxy-3-Biphenylhydrazine Hydrochloride Hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled into the reactor to hydrolyze the diazinesulfonate to the hydrazine hydrochloride. The addition was continued until the pH was 0.5. After the addition was complete, the temperature was raised to 75° C. for two hours. This was followed by cooling to 25° C. The agitation was stopped and the reaction mixture was permitted to set overnight. 4-Methoxy-3-biphenylhydrazine hydrochloride precipitated out and was isolated by filtration. A yield of 90 - 95% was obtained. In view of the many changes and modifications that can be made without departing from principles underlying the invention, reference should be made to the appended claims for an understanding of the scope of the protection to be afforded the invention.
