Description:
This application is a National Stage application of International Application No. PCT/EP2008/050337 filed Jan. 14, 2008, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/886,761, filed Jan. 26, 2007, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     The present invention relates to 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole compounds and to their isomeric imino derivatives, as well as to the enantiomers, diastereomers and salts thereof and to compositions comprising such compounds. The invention also relates to the use of the 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole compounds, of their salts or of compositions comprising them for combating animal pests. Furthermore the invention relates also to methods of applying such compounds. 
     Animal pests destroy growing and harvested crops and attack wooden dwelling and commercial structures, causing large economic loss to the food supply and to property. While a large number of pesticidal agents are known, due to the ability of target pests to develop resistance to said agents, there is an ongoing need for new agents for combating animal pests. In particular, animal pests such as insects and acaridae are difficult to be effectively controlled. 
     It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compounds having a good pesticidal activity, especially against difficult to control insects and acaridae. 
     It has been found that these objects are solved by 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole derivatives of the general formula I:

     Depending on the substitution pattern, the compounds of formula I can contain one or more chiral centers, in which case they are present as enantiomer or diastereomer mixtures. Subject matter of this invention are not only compositions containing these mixtures but also those containing the pure enantiomers or diastereomers. 
     Some similar compounds to formula I have been described inter alia in DE-A 1915387, WO 03/87072, JP-A 06220030, DE-A 1670920 and DE-A 1545842. Benzoisothiazoles useful for treating or preventing HCV infection can be found in WO2006/091858. However, an insecticidal, acaricidal or nematicidal activity of compounds of formula I has not been disclosed yet. 
     Amino- and amino-acylated1,2-benzisothiazole compounds have been described by Drabek for an insecticidal activity in EP-A 207891, EP-A 191734, DE-A 3544436, EP-A 138762, EP-A 133418 and EP-A 110829, or 3-Amidinobenzisothiazole 1,1-dioxides for same use in EP-A 86748. JP-A 01319467 describes the preparation of N-acylated amino-benzisothiazoles and their 1,2-dioxyde derivatives as active ingredients for insecticidal purposes. Sulfonyl compounds and aphicidal compositions based on mono-substituted 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole-1,1-dioxyde derivatives have been described in EP-A 0033984. The latter EP-A 33984 discloses 2-cyanobenzene sulfonamides having aphicidal activity. Their activity, however, is not satisfactory. Similar compounds to EP-A 33984 are described in WO 2005/035486, in unpublished international application PCT/EP2006/068469 and in unpublished U.S. application 60/787,809. 
     The compounds of the formula I, and their agriculturally acceptable salts are highly active against animal pest, i.e. harmful arthropodes and nematodes, especially against difficult to control insects and acaridae. 
     Accordingly, the present invention relates to 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole compounds of the general formula I and to their agriculturally useful salts. 
     Moreover, the present invention relates to:
         agricultural compositions comprising an amount of at least one compound of the formula I or an enantiomer, diastereomer or salt thereof;   the use of a compound of formula I or an enantiomer, diastereomer or salt thereof for combating animal pests;   a method of combating animal pests which comprises contacting the animal pests, their habit, breeding ground, food supply, plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which the animal pests are growing or may grow, or the materials, plants, seeds, soils, surfaces or spaces to be protected from animal attack or infestation with a pesticidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula I or an enantiomer, diastereomer or salt thereof;   a method for protecting crops from attack or infestation by animal pests, which comprises contacting a crop with a pesticidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula I or an enantiomer, diastereomer or salt thereof;   a method for the protection of seeds from soil insects and of the seedlings&#39; roots and shoots from soil and foliar insects comprising contacting the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with at least one compound of the formula I, or the enantiomers, diastereomers or salts thereof;   seeds comprising a compound of the formula I or an enantiomer, diastereomer or salt thereof.       

     Salts of the compounds of the formula I are preferably agriculturally acceptable salts. They can be formed in a customary method, e.g. by reacting the compound with an acid of the anion in question if the compound of formula I has a basic functionality or by reacting an acidic compound of formula I with a suitable base. 
     Suitable agriculturally useful salts are especially the salts of those cations or the acid addition salts of those acids whose cations and anions, respectively, do not have any adverse effect on the action of the compounds according to the present invention.

     Anions of useful acid addition salts are primarily chloride, bromide, fluoride, hydrogen sulfate, sulfate, dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, phosphate, nitrate, hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, hexafluorosilicate, hexafluorophosphate, benzoate, and the anions of C 1 -C 4 -alkanoic acids, preferably formate, acetate, propionate and butyrate. They can be formed by reacting the compounds of the formulae I with an acid of the corresponding anion, preferably of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid.

Preparation Methods
 
Compounds of the Formula I
 
                         
wherein A has the meaning
 
                         
and the other substituents and variables are as defined above for formula I, can be prepared in general by reacting an activated benzisothiazolone of formula II-a:
 
                         
wherein Y is halogen or O—SO 2 R and R is therein an alkyl, haloalkyl or a substituted phenyl (e.g. Y is mesylate, triflate and para-toluenesulfonate), and wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3  and R 4  are as defined for formula I.
 
     In case of A is A 1  or A 2  e.g. in presence of a base with a compound of the formula A 1 -H or A 2 -H, 
                         
wherein the variables R 5 , R 6 , R 7  and R 8  are analgously as defined as before for formula I.
 
     Suitable activated derivatives of the benzisothiazolone-derivative of formula II-a which may be used are, for example the 3-halobenzisothiazole-derivatives as 3-Chloro-benzisothiazole or as mentioned above the corresponding sulfonates, e.g. the triflates or mesylates. 
     The activated derivatives of the benzisothiazolone of formula II-a can be obtained according to the following schemes: 
     P.0. 3-Amino-benzisothiazole 
     3-Amino-benzisothiazoles (P0-I) can be prepared by heating a suitably substituted disulfide (P0-II) together with an amine and an oxidizing agent such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in a polar solvent such as isopropanol as described by S. W. Walinsky et al. in Organic Process Research &amp; Development 1999, 3, 126-130. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The 2-cyano-disulfides (P0-II) can be prepared from the corresponding thiophenols (P0-III) by using oxidizing agents such as dimethylsulfoxid (DMSO) as reported by H. Boerzel et al. in Inorganic Chemistry 2003, 1604-1615. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     2-cyano-thiophenols (P0-III) can be prepared from benzisothiazoles (P0-IV) by treatment with strong bases such as NaOCH 3  as described by J. Markert et al. in Liebigs Annalen d. Chemie 1980, 768-778. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Said article also describes the synthesis of substituted benzisothiazoles (P0-IV) from 2-chloro-benzaldahydes (P0-V) via reaction with sulfur and ammonia. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Alternatively, the 2-cyano-disulfides (P0-II) can be prepared from 2-cyano-anilines (P0-VI) via diazotation and subsequent reaction of the diazonium-salt with Na 2 S and sulfur as described by V. M. Negrimovsky et al. in Phosphorus, Sulfur &amp; The Related Elements 1995, 104, 161-167. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     2-cyano-anilines (P0-VI) can be prepared from 2-cyano-nitrobenzenes (P0-VII) with a reducing agent such as iron as described by D. H. Klaubert in J. Med. Chem. 1981, 24, 742-748. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Alternatively 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazoles (P0-I) can be prepared from 3-chloro-benzo[d]isothiazole (P0-VIIIa) as described by H. Boeshagen et al. in Justus Liebig Annalen der Chemie, 1977, 20. 
     The Chloro-benzo[d]isothiazoles (P0-VIIIa) can be obtained from benzisothiazolones (P0-IX) by reaction with a chlorinating agent such as PCl 3  (described by J. P. Yevich et al. in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 1986, 29, 359-369) or PCl 3 /PCl 5  (S. G. Zlutin et al. Journal of Organic Chemistry 2000, 65, 8439-8443). 
     3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazoles (P0-I) can also be obtained from trifluoromethanesulfonic acid benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl ester (P0-VIIIb) in analogy to U.S. Pat. No. 5,359,068 by reaction of said compounds with amines. This latter reference describes the trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl ester (P0-VIIIb) obtained from benzisothiazolones. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The above mentioned reference of S. G. Zlutin et al. also describes the synthesis of said benzisothiazolones (P0-IX) from 2-benzylsulfanyl-benzamides (P0-X) via treatment with an oxidizing agent such as SO 2 Cl 2 .

     If individual compounds cannot be prepared via the above-described routes, they can be prepared by derivatization of other compounds I or by customary modifications of the synthesis routes described. 
     The reaction mixtures are worked up in the customary manner, for example by mixing with water, separating the phases, and, if appropriate, purifying the crude products by chromatography, for example on alumina or silica gel. Some of the intermediates and end products may be obtained in the form of colorless or pale brown viscous oils, which are freed or purified from volatile components under reduced pressure and at moderately elevated temperature. If the intermediates and end products are obtained as solids, they may be purified by recrystallization or digestion. 
     Agriculturally acceptable salts of the compounds of formula I can be formed in a customary manner, e.g. by reaction with an acid of the anion in question.

     Solvents/carriers, which are suitable, are e.g.:
         solvents such as water, aromatic solvents (for example Solvesso products, xylene and the like), paraffins (for example mineral fractions), alcohols (for example methanol, butanol, pentanol, benzyl alcohol), ketones (for example cyclohexanone, gamma-butyrolactone), pyrrolidones (N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), N-octylpyrrolidone NOP), acetates (glycol diacetate), alkyl lactates, lactones such as g-butyrolactone, glycols, fatty acid dimethylamides, fatty acids and fatty acid esters, triglycerides, oils of vegetable or animal origin and modified oils such as alkylated plant oils. In principle, solvent mixtures may also be used.   carriers such as ground natural minerals and ground synthetic minerals, such as silica gels, finely divided silicic acid, silicates, talc, kaolin, attaclay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers, such as, for example, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas and products of vegetable origin, such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powders and other solid carriers.       

     Suitable emulsifiers are nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (for example polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkylsulfonates and arylsulfonates). 
     Examples of dispersants are lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose. 
     Suitable surfactants are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of lignosulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, alkylarylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkylsulfonates, fatty alcohol sulfates, fatty acids and sulfated fatty alcohol glycol ethers, furthermore condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene or of naphthalenesulfonic acid with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, octylphenol, nonylphenol, alkylphenyl polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ether, tristearylphenyl polyglycol ether, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, alcohol and fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, 
     Also anti-freezing agents such as glycerin, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and bactericides such as can be added to the formulation. 
     Suitable antifoaming agents are for example antifoaming agents based on silicon or magnesium stearate. 
     Suitable preservatives are for example dichlorophen und benzyl alcohol hemiformal 
     Suitable thickeners are compounds which confer a pseudoplastic flow behavior to the formulation, i.e. high viscosity at rest and low viscosity in the agitated stage. Mention may be made, in this context, for example, of commercial thickeners based on polysaccharides, such as Xanthan Gum® (Kelzan® from Kelco), Rhodopol®23 (Rhone Poulenc) or Veegum® (from R. T. Vanderbilt), or organic phyllosilicates, such as Attaclay® (from Engelhardt). Antifoam agents suitable for the dispersions according to the invention are, for example, silicone emulsions (such as, for example, Silikon® SRE, Wacker or Rhodorsil® from Rhodia), long-chain alcohols, fatty acids, organofluorine compounds and mixtures thereof. Biocides can be added to stabilize the compositions according to the invention against attack by microorganisms. Suitable biocides are, for example, based on isothiazolones such as the compounds marketed under the trademarks Proxel® from Avecia (or Arch) or Acticide® RS from Thor Chemie and Kathon® MK from Rohm &amp; Haas. Suitable antifreeze agents are organic polyols, for example ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or glycerol. These are usually employed in amounts of not more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the active compound composition. If appropriate, the active compound compositions according to the invention may comprise 1 to 5% by weight of buffer, based on the total amount of the formulation prepared, to regulate the pH, the amount and type of the buffer used depending on the chemical properties of the active compound or the active compounds. Examples of buffers are alkali metal salts of weak inorganic or organic acids, such as, for example, phosphoric acid, boronic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid and succinic acid. 
     Substances which are suitable for the preparation of directly sprayable solutions, emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions are mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene or diesel oil, furthermore coal tar oils and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons, for example toluene, xylene, paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes or their derivatives, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, isophorone, strongly polar solvents, for example dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone and water. 
     Powders, materials for spreading and dusts can be prepared by mixing or concomitantly grinding the active substances with a solid carrier. 
     Granules, for example coated granules, impregnated granules and homogeneous granules, can be prepared by binding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, attaclay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers, such as, for example, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas, and products of vegetable origin, such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powders and other solid carriers. 
     In general, the formulations comprise from 0.01 to 95% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 90% by weight, of the active ingredient. The active ingredients are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum). 
     For seed treatment purposes, respective formulations can be diluted 2-10 fold leading to concentrations in the ready to use preparations of 0.01 to 60% by weight active compound by weight, preferably 0.1 to 40% by weight. 
     The compound of formula I can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom, for example in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dustable products, materials for spreading, or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading or pouring. The use forms depend entirely on the intended purposes; they are intended to ensure in each case the finest possible distribution of the active compounds according to the invention.

     25 parts by weight of the active compound is dissolved in 35 parts by weight of xylene with addition of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and castor oil ethoxylate (in each case 5 parts by weight). This mixture is introduced into 30 parts by weight of water by means of an emulsifier machine (e.g. Ultraturrax) and made into a homogeneous emulsion. Dilution with water gives an emulsion, whereby a formulation with 25% (w/w) of active compound is obtained. 
     E) Suspensions (SC, OD, FS)

Dilution with water gives a stable suspension of the active compound, whereby a formulation with 20% (w/w) of active compound is obtained.
     2. Products to be applied undiluted for foliar applications. For seed treatment purposes, such products may be applied to the seed diluted or undiluted.
 
I) Dustable Powders (DP, DS)
   

     5 parts by weight of the active compound are ground finely and mixed intimately with 95 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin. This gives a dustable product having 5% (w/w) of active compound. 
     J) Granules (GR, FG, GG, MG) 
     0.5 part by weight of the active compound is ground finely and associated with 95.5 parts by weight of carriers, whereby a formulation with 0.5% (w/w) of active compound is obtained. Current methods are extrusion, spray-drying or the fluidized bed. This gives granules to be applied undiluted for foliar use. 
     K) ULV Solutions (UL) 
     10 parts by weight of the active compound is dissolved in 90 parts by weight of an organic solvent, for example xylene. This gives a product having 10% (w/w) of active compound, which is applied undiluted for foliar use. 
     Aqueous use forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (sprayable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and such concentrates are suitable for dilution with water. 
     The active ingredient concentrations in the ready-to-use products can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.01 to 1%. 
     The active ingredients may also be used successfully in the ultra-low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply formulations comprising over 95% by weight of active ingredient, or even to apply the active ingredient without additives. 
     In the method of this invention compounds I may be applied with other active ingredients, for example with other pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, urea, potash, and superphosphate, phytotoxicants and plant growth regulators, safeners and nematicides. These additional ingredients may be used sequentially or in combination with the above-described compositions, if appropriate also added only immediately prior to use (tank mix). For example, the plant(s) may be sprayed with a composition of this invention either before or after being treated with other active ingredients.

Applications
   

     The animal pest, i.e. the insects, arachnids and nematodes, the plant, soil or water in which the plant is growing can be contacted with the present compound(s) I or composition(s) containing them by any application method known in the art. As such, “contacting” includes both direct contact (applying the compounds/compositions directly on the animal pest or plant—typically to the foliage, stem or roots of the plant) and indirect contact (applying the compounds/compositions to the locus of the animal pest or plant). 
     The compounds of formula I or the pesticidal compositions comprising them may be used to protect growing plants and crops from attack or infestation by animal pests, especially insects, acaridae or arachnids by contacting the plant/crop with a pesticidally effective amount of compounds of formula I. The term “crop” refers both to growing and harvested crops. 
     Moreover, animal pests may be controlled by contacting the target pest, its food supply, habitat, breeding ground or its locus with a pesticidally effective amount of compounds of formula I. As such, the application may be carried out before or after the infection of the locus, growing crops, or harvested crops by the pest. 
     The compounds of the invention can also be applied preventively to places at which occurrence of the pests is expected. 
     The compounds of formula I may be also used to protect growing plants from attack or infestation by pests by contacting the plant with a pesticidally effective amount of compounds of formula I. As such, “contacting” includes both direct contact (applying the compounds/compositions directly on the pest and/or plant—typically to the foliage, stem or roots of the plant) and indirect contact (applying the compounds/compositions to the locus of the pest and/or plant). 
     “Locus” means a habitat, breeding ground, plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which a pest or parasite is growing or may grow. 
     In general, “pesticidally effective amount” means the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. The pesticidally effective amount can vary for the various compounds/compositions used in the invention. A pesticidally effective amount of the compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions such as desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application, and the like. 
     In the case of soil treatment or of application to the pests dwelling place or nest, the quantity of active ingredient ranges from 0.0001 to 500 g per 100 m 2 , preferably from 0.001 to 20 g per 100 m 2 . 
     Customary application rates in the protection of materials are, for example, from 0.01 g to 1000 g of active compound per m 2  treated material, desirably from 0.1 g to 50 g per m 2 . 
     Insecticidal compositions for use in the impregnation of materials typically contain from 0.001 to 95 weight %, preferably from 0.1 to 45 weight %, and more preferably from 1 to 25 weight % of at least one repellent and/or insecticide. 
     For use in treating crop plants, the rate of application of the active ingredients of this invention may be in the range of 0.1 g to 4000 g per hectare, desirably from 25 g to 600 g per hectare, more desirably from 50 g to 500 g per hectare. 
     The compounds of formula I are effective through both contact (via soil, glass, wall, bed net, carpet, plant parts or animal parts), and ingestion (bait, or plant part). 
     The compounds of the invention may also be applied against non-crop insect pests, such as ants, termites, wasps, flies, mosquitos, crickets, or cockroaches. For use against said non-crop pests, compounds of formula I are preferably used in a bait composition. 
     The bait can be a liquid, a solid or a semisolid preparation (e.g. a gel). Solid baits can be formed into various shapes and forms suitable to the respective application e.g. granules, blocks, sticks, disks. Liquid baits can be filled into various devices to ensure proper application, e.g. open containers, spray devices, droplet sources, or evaporation sources. Gels can be based on aqueous or oily matrices and can be formulated to particular necessities in terms of stickyness, moisture retention or aging characteristics. 
     The bait employed in the composition is a product, which is sufficiently attractive to incite insects such as ants, termites, wasps, flies, mosquitos, crickets etc. or cockroaches to eat it. The attractiveness can be manipulated by using feeding stimulants or sex pheromones. Food stimulants are chosen, for example, but not exclusively, from animal and/or plant proteins (meat-, fish- or blood meal, insect parts, egg yolk), from fats and oils of animal and/or plant origin, or mono-, oligo- or polyorganosaccharides, especially from sucrose, lactose, fructose, dextrose, glucose, starch, pectin or even molasses or honey. Fresh or decaying parts of fruits, crops, plants, animals, insects or specific parts thereof can also serve as a feeding stimulant. Sex pheromones are known to be more insect specific. Specific pheromones are described in the literature and are known to those skilled in the art. 
     For use in bait compositions, the typical content of active ingredient is from 0.001 weight % to 15 weight %, desirably from 0.001 weight % to 5% weight % of active compound. 
     Formulations of compounds of formula I as aerosols (e.g. in spray cans), oil sprays or pump sprays are highly suitable for the non-professional user for controlling pests such as flies, fleas, ticks, mosquitos or cockroaches. Aerosol recipes are preferably composed of the active compound, solvents such as lower alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol), ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone), paraffin hydrocarbons (e.g. kerosenes) having boiling ranges of approximately 50 to 250° C., dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, water, furthermore auxiliaries such as emulsifiers such as sorbitol monooleate, oleyl ethoxylate having 3-7 mol of ethylene oxide, fatty alcohol ethoxylate, perfume oils such as ethereal oils, esters of medium fatty acids with lower alcohols, aromatic carbonyl compounds, if appropriate stabilizers such as sodium benzoate, amphoteric surfactants, lower epoxides, triethyl orthoformate and, if required, propellants such as propane, butane, nitrogen, compressed air, dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or mixtures of these gases. 
     The oil spray formulations differ from the aerosol recipes in that no propellants are used. 
     For use in spray compositions, the content of active ingredient is from 0.001 to 80 weights %, preferably from 0.01 to 50 weight % and most preferably from 0.01 to 15 weight %. 
     The compounds of formula I and its respective compositions can also be used in mosquito and fumigating coils, smoke cartridges, vaporizer plates or long-term vaporizers and also in moth papers, moth pads or other heat-independent vaporizer systems. 
     Methods to control infectious diseases transmitted by insects (e.g. malaria, dengue and yellow fever, lymphatic filariasis, and leishmaniasis) with compounds of formula I and its respective compositions also comprise treating surfaces of huts and houses, air spraying and impregnation of curtains, tents, clothing items, bed nets, tsetse-fly trap or the like. Insecticidal compositions for application to fibers, fabric, knitgoods, nonwovens, netting material or foils and tarpaulins preferably comprise a mixture including the insecticide, optionally a repellent and at least one binder. Suitable repellents for example are N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), N,N-diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA), 1-(3-cyclohexan-1-yl-carbonyl)-2-methylpiperine, (2-hydroxymethylcyclohexyl)acetic acid lactone, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexandiol, indalone, Methylneodecanamide (MNDA), a pyrethroid not used for insect control such as {(+/−)-3-allyl-2-methyl-4-oxocyclopent-2-(+)-enyl-(+)trans-chrysantemate (Esbiothrin), a repellent derived from or identical with plant extracts like limonene, eugenol, (+)-Eucamalol (1), (−)-1-epi-eucamalol or crude plant extracts from plants like  Eucalyptus maculata, Vitex rotundifolia, Cymbopogan martinii, Cymbopogan citratus  (lemon grass),  Cymopogan nartdus  (citronella). Suitable binders are selected for example from polymers and copolymers of vinyl esters of aliphatic acids (such as such as vinyl acetate and vinyl versatate), acrylic and methacrylic esters of alcohols, such as butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexylacrylate, and methyl acrylate, mono- and di-ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as styrene, and aliphatic diens, such as butadiene. 
     The impregnation of curtains and bednets is done in general by dipping the textile material into emulsions or dispersions of the insecticide or spraying them onto the nets. 
     The compounds of formula I and its compositions can be used for protecting wooden materials such as trees, board fences, sleepers, etc. and buildings such as houses, outhouses, factories, but also construction materials, furniture, leathers, fibers, vinyl articles, electric wires and cables etc. from ants and/or termites, and for controlling ants and termites from doing harm to crops or human being (e.g. when the pests invade into houses and public facilities). The compounds of formula I are applied not only to the surrounding soil surface or into the under-floor soil in order to protect wooden materials but it can also be applied to lumbered articles such as surfaces of the under-floor concrete, alcove posts, beams, plywoods, furniture, etc., wooden articles such as particle boards, half boards, etc. and vinyl articles such as coated electric wires, vinyl sheets, heat insulating material such as styrene foams, etc. In case of application against ants doing harm to crops or human beings, the ant controller of the present invention is applied to the crops or the surrounding soil, or is directly applied to the nest of ants or the like. 
     Seed Treatment 
     The compounds of formula I are also suitable for the treatment of seeds in order to protect the seed from insect pest, in particular from soil-living insect pests and the resulting plant&#39;s roots and shoots against soil pests and foliar insects. 
     The compounds of formula I are particularly useful for the protection of the seed from soil pests and the resulting plant&#39;s roots and shoots against soil pests and foliar insects. The protection of the resulting plant&#39;s roots and shoots is preferred. More preferred is the protection of resulting plant&#39;s shoots from piercing and sucking insects, wherein the protection from aphids is most preferred. 
     The present invention therefore comprises a method for the protection of seeds from insects, in particular from soil insects and of the seedlings&#39; roots and shoots from insects, in particular from soil and foliar insects, said method comprising contacting the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with a compound of the general formula I or a salt thereof. Particularly preferred is a method, wherein the plant&#39;s roots and shoots are protected, more preferably a method, wherein the plants shoots are protected form piercing and sucking insects, most preferably aa method, wherein the plants shoots are protected from aphids. 
     The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corms, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, cuttings, cut shoots and the like and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds. 
     The term 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 present invention also comprises seeds coated with or containing the active compound. 
     The term “coated with and/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the propagation product at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the propagation product, depending on the method of application. When the said propagation product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient. 
     Suitable seed is seed of cereals, root crops, oil crops, vegetables, spices, ornamentals, for example seed of durum and other wheat, barley, oats, rye, maize (fodder maize and sugar maize/sweet and field corn), soybeans, oil crops, crucifers, cotton, sunflowers, bananas, rice, oilseed rape, turnip rape, sugarbeet, fodder beet, eggplants, potatoes, grass, lawn, turf, fodder grass, tomatoes, leeks, pumpkin/squash, cabbage, iceberg lettuce, pepper, cucumbers, melons,  Brassica  species, melons, beans, peas, garlic, onions, carrots, tuberous plants such as potatoes, sugar cane, tobacco, grapes, petunias, geranium/pelargoniums, pansies and impatiens. 
     In addition, the active compound may also be used for the treatment seeds from plants, which tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides owing to breeding, including genetic engineering methods. 
     For example, the active compound can be employed in treatment of seeds from plants, which are resistant to herbicides from the group consisting of the sulfonylureas, imidazolinones, glufosinate-ammonium or glyphosate-isopropylammonium and analogous active substances (see for example, EP-A-0242236, EP-A-242246) (WO 92/00377) (EP-A-0257993, U.S. Pat. No. 5,013,659) or in transgenic crop plants, for example cotton, with the capability of producing  Bacillus thuringiensis  toxins (Bt toxins) which make the plants resistant to certain pests (EP-A-0142924, EP-A-0193259), 
     Furthermore, the active compound can be used also for the treatment of seeds from plants, which have modified characteristics in comparison with existing plants consist, which can be generated for example by traditional breeding methods and/or the generation of mutants, or by recombinant procedures). For example, a number of cases have been described of recombinant modifications of crop plants for the purpose of modifying the starch synthesized in the plants (e.g. WO 92/11376, WO 92/14827, WO 91/19806) or of transgenic crop plants having a modified fatty acid composition (WO 91/13972). 
     The seed treatment application of the active compound is carried out by spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing of the plants and before emergence of the plants. 
     Compositions which are especially useful for seed treatment are e.g.:
     A Soluble concentrates (SL, LS)   D Emulsions (EW, EO, ES)   E Suspensions (SC, OD, FS)   F Water-dispersible granules and water-soluble granules (WG, SG)   G Water-dispersible powders and water-soluble powders (WP, SP, WS)   H Gel-Formulations (GF)   I Dustable powders (DP, DS)   

     Conventional seed treatment formulations include for example flowable concentrates FS, solutions LS, powders for dry treatment DS, water dispersible powders for slurry treatment WS, water-soluble powders SS and emulsion ES and EC and gel formulation GF. These formulations can be applied to the seed diluted or undiluted. Application to the seeds is carried out before sowing, either directly on the seeds or after having pregerminated the latter 
     In a preferred embodiment a FS formulation is used for seed treatment. Typically, a FS formulation may comprise 1-800 g/l of active ingredient, 1-200 g/l Surfactant, 0 to 200 g/l antifreezing agent, 0 to 400 g/l of binder, 0 to 200 g/l of a pigment and up to 1 liter of a solvent, preferably water. 
     Especially preferred FS formulations of compounds of formula I for seed treatment usually comprise from 0.1 to 80% by weight (1 to 800 g/l) of the active ingredient, from 0.1 to 20% by weight (1 to 200 g/l) of at least one surfactant, e.g. 0.05 to 5% by weight of a wetter and from 0.5 to 15% by weight of a dispersing agent, up to 20% by weight, e.g. from 5 to 20% of an anti-freeze agent, from 0 to 15% by weight, e.g. 1 to 15% by weight of a pigment and/or a dye, from 0 to 40% by weight, e.g. 1 to 40% by weight of a binder (sticker/adhesion agent), optionally up to 5% by weight, e.g. from 0.1 to 5% by weight of a thickener, optionally from 0.1 to 2% of an anti-foam agent, and optionally a preservative such as a biocide, antioxidant or the like, e.g. in an amount from 0.01 to 1% by weight and a filler/vehicle up to 100% by weight. 
     Seed Treatment formulations may additionally also comprise binders and optionally colorants. 
     Binders can be added to improve the adhesion of the active materials on the seeds after treatment. Suitable binders are homo- and copolymers from alkylene oxides like ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, polyvinylacetate, polyvinylalcohols, polyvinylpyrrolidones, and copolymers thereof, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, acrylic homo- and copolymers, polyethyleneamines, polyethyleneamides and polyethyleneimines, polysaccharides like celluloses, tylose and starch, polyolefin homo- and copolymers like olefin/maleic anhydride copolymers, polyurethanes, polyesters, polystyrene homo and copolymers

     In the treatment of seed, the application rates of the compounds I are generally from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 g to 5 kg per 100 kg of seed, more preferably from 1 g to 1000 g per 100 kg of seed and in particular from 1 g to 200 g per 100 kg of seed. 
     The invention therefore also relates to seed comprising a compound of the formula I, or an agriculturally useful salt of 1, as defined herein. The amount of the compound I or the agriculturally useful salt thereof will in general vary from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 g to 5 kg per 100 kg of seed, in particular from 1 g to 1000 g per 100 kg of seed. For specific crops such as lettuce the rate can be higher.

     Synthesis Examples 
     S.1 4-Difluoromethoxy-3-S-dimethyl-thionitroso-benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide [Compound example 45 (of table C)] 
     
         
         Step 1: S,S Dimethyl —S— Aminosulfonium mesitylenesulfonate was prepared according to Y. Tamura et al,  Tetrahedron,  1975, 31, 3035-3040.
       3-Chloro-4-difluoromethoxy-benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide was prepared by adding 9.50 g (38.1 mmol) 4-Difluoromethoxy-saccharine, 6.8 g (57.0 mmol) thionyl chloride and 0.4 ml dimethylformamid (DMF) to 50 ml 1,4-dioxane and heating to reflux for 29 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and all volatiles were removed by distillation. 9.3 g of the 3-Chloro-4-difluoromethoxy-benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide compound were obtained as a crude product and used in the next step without further purification.   
     
         Step 2: 0.51 g (1.90 mmol) 3-Chloro-4-difluoromethoxy-benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide was dissolved in 15 ml dichloromethane at room temperature. 0.49 g Huenig&#39;s base was added, followed by 1.05 g (3.80 mmol) S,S Dimethyl-S-Aminosulfonium mesitylene-sulfonate. Stirring at room temperature was continued overnight. The solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was purified on silica (eluent: cyclohexanes/ethyl acetate 1:1) to yield 155 mg (0.50 mmol) of compound example 45 of table C. 
       
    
     S.2 (4-Chloro-1,1-dioxo-1H-1lambda*6*-benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)-(1-oxo-tetrahydro-1lambda*6*-thiophen-1-ylidene)-amine [Compound example 54 (of table C)] 
     100 mg (0.33 mmol) of compound 5 (prepared in analogy to compound 2) were dissolved in 2.5 ml dichloromethane at room temperature. 50 mg tetrabutylammonium bromide, dissolved in 5 ml ethyl acetate, were added, followed by 10 ml of a 12.5 wt. % NaOCl-solution. Stirring at room temperature was continued for 72 h. Water was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was purified on silica (eluent: cyclohexanes/ethyl acetate 1:2) to yield 20 mg (0.06 mmol) of compound 11. 
     S.3 N-Ethyl-N-(4-methoxy-benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)-acetamide [Compound example 5 (of table C)] 
     
         
         Step 1: 7.0 g (42 mmol) 4-Methoxy-benzo[d]isothiazole [Drug.Res. 30(II), 11 (1980), 1831-1838] were dissolved in 150 ml methyl glycol and 4.7 g (85 mmol) sodium methylate were added at room temperature. The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 4 h, then additional 2.4 g (42 mmol) sodium methylate were added and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. After 2 h and again after 4 h additional 2.4 g (42 mmol) sodium methylate were added. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting sodium salt was used without further purification.
       82 g (1.3 mol) aqueous ethylamine (70%) was added to the reaction mixture, the solution was cooled to 0-5° C. and 40 g aqueous 12% sodium hypochlorite was added dropwise during 20 min. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at this temperature, then water was added and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed by distillation and the residue was purified on silica (eluent: cyclohexanes/ethyl acetate) to yield 5.7 g (27 mmol) of Ethyl-(4-methoxy-benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)-amine [ 1 H NMR (in CDCl 3 ): δ [ppm]=1.32 (t, 3H), 3.58 (q, 2H), 3.98 (s, 3H), 6.28 (bs, 1H), 6.62 (d, 1H), 7.30 (m, 2H)].   
     
         Step 2: 0.5 g (2.4 mmol) Ethyl-(4-methoxy-benzo[d]isothiazol-3-yl)-amine was dissolved in 20 ml acetonitrile at room temperature. 0.76 g (9.6 mmol) pyridine together with a catalytic amount of dimethylamino pyridine was added, followed by 0.58 g (7.2 mmol) acetyl chloride. Stirring at room temperature was continued overnight. Water was added and the product was extracted with dichloromethane.
