     This invention relates to methods of controlling helminths by contacting the helminths with a N&#39;-substituted-N,N&#39;-disubstitutedhydrazine. 
     Several hundred million people and animals suffer from helminth infections which are generally not fatal but lead to extreme disability and associated loss of productivity and population vigor. In third world countries, where these diseases pose the greatest problem, the greatest barriers to prevention are ignorance, cultural practices and poor sanitation. However, another shortcoming is the lack of effective chemotherapeutic agents which are both efficacious, safe and inexpensive enough for mass treatments. 
     The following is a summary of the most important helminthic diseases afflicting man.

     Apart from these recommended drugs, other alternative agents exist. Antimony complexes were commonly used for schistosomiasis, but they are quite toxic. Piperazine is useful only on Ascaris and has mild side effects. Bephenium is a nicotinic agonist and is only moderately effective on hookworm. The avermectins are by far the most powerful antiparasitics known; on Onchocerus volvulus 50 ug/kg is enough to cause dramatic reduction of microfilaria. They are also effective against Ascaris. However, they are inactive against flukes and tapeworms and the cost of their production by fermentation may make them impractical for third world use. 
     Certain hydrazine derivatives have been disclosed in the literature. However, none of the prior art literature suggests hydrazine derivatives having insect growth regulating characteristics. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,481,972 discloses 2-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl acid hydrazine compounds of the formula ZC(O)NHN(CH 3 )CH 2  CH 2  OH where Z represents furyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl, styryl, dihydrostyryl or substituted phenyl. The compounds are stated to be useful as pesticides for the control of such organisms as insects, arachnids, nematodes, fungi, plants and helminth organisms. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,357,351 discloses five specific compounds (Compound Nos. 400 and 402-404) of the formula ##STR24## where X is --NCO, --NHC(O)N(CH 2  CH 2  OH) 2 , --NHC(O)(CH 2 ) 11  CH 3 , --NHC(O)OCH 2  CH 2  (OCH 2  CH 2 ) n  OH and ##STR25## where n averages 7.7 and n&#39; averages 11. These compounds are disclosed to have leptericidal activity. However, they are not claimed and it is not seen how these five compounds are included in the generic formula disclosed in the patent. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,564,611 discloses (di)thiophosphoric and -phosphonic acid derivatives having the formula ##STR26## in which R denotes (C 1  -C 4 )alkyl; R 1  denotes (C 1  -C 4 )alkyl, (C 1  -C 4 )alkoxy, (C 1  -C 4 )alkylmercapto, (C 1  -C 4 )alkylamino or di(C 1  -C 4 )alkylamino; R 2  and R 3  independently of one another denote hydrogen, (C 1  -C 4 )alkyl, (C 5  -C 6 )cycloalkyl, benzyl or furylmethyl; R 4  denotes (C 1  -C 4 )alkyl, (C 1  -C 3 )alkoxymethyl, (C 1  -C 3 )alkylmercaptomethyl or phenyl and X denotes oxygen or sulfur, which have activity against sucking and biting insects, acarides and nematodes and display good fungicidal activity. Insect growth regulating activity is not disclosed. Further, R 2  is not taught to include a tertiary carbon. 
     The Chemical Abstracts citation CA 84(21):150168j indicates that Azerb Khim Zh, 1975, (5), 47-48 discloses Me 2  CHCH 2  CH═NN(Ac)CH 2  CH 2  OH, PhCH═NN(Ac)CH 2  CH 2  OH and Me 2  CHCH═NN(Ac)CH 2  CH 2  OH which have pesticidal activity. 
     Related U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,699,111, 3,809,703 and 3,821,261 disclose certain heterocyclic acid chloride phenylhydrazones having utility as insecticides, miticides, herbicides, anti-inflammatories and anthelmintics and having the formula ##STR27## where R is furyl, thienyl or pyridyl and n is 0 to 3. 
     Related U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,824,233 and 3,897,559 disclose cinnamoyl and thiopheneacryloyl chloride phenylhydrazones, useful as anthelmintics and having the formula ##STR28## where R 1  is phenyl or thienyl; R 3  is alkyl, alkoxy, halo, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl or two R 3  may be taken together to form a methylenedioxy; and m is 0 to 2. 
     24 Journal of Medicine Chemistry, 532-538 (1981), discloses numerous acid chloride phenylhydrazones including a variety of substitutions in the phenyl rings and chloride variations. These compounds have utility as anthelmintics. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In accordance with the present invention, helminths are controlled by contacting the helminths with a compound having the nucleus of the formula: ##STR29## where N is nitrogen; where E is an organic or organometallic radical having at least three atoms other than hydrogen and is attached to the nitrogen shown in the formula by a carbon-to-nitrogen single bond; where one G 1  is carbon, nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, and both G 2  &#39;s and the other G 1  are carbon; or one G 2  is sulfur or phosphorous, and both G 1  &#39;s and the other G 2  are carbon; where the bond shown as --- is a single or double bond; where an organic radical is a radical comprising at least one carbon atom, but no metal atoms; and where an organometallic radical is a radical containing a carbon-to-metal bond; or a biologically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably, E is a tertiary carbon containing organic radical, and both G 1  and G 2  are carbon. Most preferably, E is t-butyl and both G 2  &#39;s are carbon double bonded to oxygen. 
    
    
     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
     FIG. 1. Both 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 induce process elaboration (A) and inhibition of cell proliferation (B) in K c  cells in a dose-dependent manner. Initial cell density was 2×10 6  cells/ml; after incubation of 1 ml aliquots of the cells with the compound for 48 hours the cells were triturated gently and the percentage of cells responding (with processes longer than approximately 17 μm, see Cherbas et al. 189 Wilhelm Roux&#39;s Arch. 1 (1980)) and total cell density was determined by hemocytometer counting, relative to ethanol (1 μl)-treated controls. Determinations were in triplicate for each dose. Data are means ±S.D. For 20-hydroxyecdysone EC 50  =0.035 μM, while for Example No. 3 EC 50  =4.8 μM. 
     FIG. 2. Induction of acetylcholinesterase by varying concentrations of 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3. K c  cells at an initial density of 3×10 6  cells/ml (10 ml per sample) were incubated with the agonist for three days. After harvesting by centrifugation at 3000×g, the cell pellets were washed with Robb&#39;s Drosophila saline (18, 2×5 ml) at 4° C., then lysed by sonication in 1 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, I=0.1M) containing 0.5M NaCl, 0.25M EDTA and 0.5% TRITON® X-100. See Cherbas, 197 Science 275 (1977). Triton is a registered trademark of Rohm and Haas Company for a alkylaryl polyoxyethylene glycol surfactant. After centrifugation at 16,000×g, the supernatants were assayed for acetylcholinesterase activity by an adaptation of the method of Ellman et al., 7 Biochem. Pharmacol. 88 (1961), by subtracting out any 412 nm absorbance observed in incubations in the presence of 2×10 -  5 eserine sulfate. Thus reaction mixtures contained 50 μl of enzyme extract, 20 μl eserine (blank tubes only) and 1.0 ml of 0.5 mM acetylthiocholine, 0.3 mM dithiobisnitrobenzoic acid in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, I=0.1M). Incubations were at 25° C. for two hours; reactions in active tubes were terminated by addition of eserine. Absorbance at 412 nm was then measured. Protein concentration in extracts was measured by the Biorad method. Data are means of triplicate cell incubations ±S.D. After substraction for eserine-sensitive acetylcholinesterase activity in non-treated cells (30 nmol/hr-mg protein) the EC 50  for 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 were determined to be 0.007 and 1.05 μM, respectively. 
     FIG. 3A. Scatchard plot of  3  H-ponasterone A binding to K c  cell cytosolic receptor extracts in the presence of differing concentrations of Example No. 3. Cytosolic extract preparation and ecdysteroid receptor assays were essentially as described in Sage, 111 Meth. in Enzymol. 458 (1985). Example No. 3 was added in 1 ul DMSO to 50 ul of radioligand in 10 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.2) and 50 ul of undiluted cytosol extract. After incubation overnight at 0.5° C., bound label was separated from free by addition of 300 ul 1% HCl-washed charcoal (Sigma) and 0.1% Dextran T70 (Pharmacia) in Tris buffer, centrifugation (13,000×g, 3 min, 4° C.) and liquid scintillation counting of a 300 ul aliquot of the supernatant in 15 ml Hydrofluor (National Diagnostics). Points are means of duplicate determinations. For incubations in the absence of Example No. 3 K d  =0.29 nM and B max  =0.79 nM. 
     FIG. 3B. Relative ability of 20- hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 to displace  3  H-ponasterone A from cytosolic receptor extracts. Conditions were as in FIG. 3 except that only 0.5 nM ponasterone A was used. Points are means of duplicate determinations. For 20-hydroxyecdysone EC 50  =0.1 μM while for Example No. 3 EC 50  =3.0 μM. Control binding=10 femtomoles  3  H-ponasterone A bound per mg cytosol protein. 
     FIG. 4. Effects of 10 ppm Example No. 3 administered in artificial diet to newly ecdysed fourth instar (L4) M. sexta, monitoring (A)immunoreactive hemolymph ecdysteroid titers and (B)weight gain. Ecdysteroid titers were measured by a radioimmunoassay adapted from Warren et al., 40 Experientia 393 (1984) with Protein A-Staph. aureus suspension (Sigma) used as the reagent to separate bound from free ligand. The antiecdysone antiserum was formed by reaction of 20-hydroxyecdysone with carboxymethoxyamine resulting in the corresponding ecdysteroid 6-oxime acid. The antiserum recognizes alpha-ecdysone with a 2.7-fold greater affinity than 20-hydroxyecdysone, using commercially available  3  H-alpha ecdysone as the radioligand (New England Nuclear). Data are expressed in 20-hydroxyecdysone equivalents, for which the log-logit standard curve commonly had a correlation coefficient r&gt;0.99. All samples were diluted appropriately in borate buffer pH 8.0 and assayed in duplicate. For both ecdysteroid titer and weight determinations 10 individuals per time point were used, and all data points are means. All larvae described in this paper were reared in a long day photoperiod (16L:8D) at 25° C., and were purchased as eggs (Carolina Biological Supply Co.). 
     FIG. 5. Hemolymph titers of  14  C-Example No. 3 in L5 hornworms after feeding on 10 μg/gr of the radio-labelled compound. Newly ecdysed L5 M. sexta larvae were starved for 12 hours and then offered 350 mg chunks of artificial diet containing 13 μg of the radiolabelled Example No. 3 (1- 14  C-carbonyl, &gt;99% radiochemically pure, spec. act. 3.09 mCi/mmole, synthesized at Rohm and Haas Research Laboratories). At specified times thereafter larvae were bled into calibrated tubes and the hemolymph volume measured. Example No. 3 was recovered from the hemolymph by adding excess NaCl in 500 μl of 1% aqueous HCl and extracting with 3×1 ml ethyl acetate/acetonitrile (2:1), using vigorous vortexing and centrifugation between washes. The pooled organic layers were evaporated to dryness and spotted on 500 μm normal phase silica gel thin layer chromatography plates (Analtech), and developed in dichloromethane/acetonitrile/acetic acid (67:33:1). Radioactivity was analyzed by either autoradiography, scraping the spot corresponding to parent compound and liquid scintillation counting or using a Berthold LB 2842 Linear Analyzer and comparison to a  14  C-Example No. 3 calibration curve. When the radioactivity corresponding to the parent Example No. 3 on TLC was scraped, extracted and run on reversed phase HPLC (35% acetonitrile in water, 35° C., Alltech Applied Sciences 3 μm particle size C18 Adsorbosphere column), the radioactivity almost quantitatively eluted with authentic Example No. 3 standard. Data are means of five to eight individuals ±S.E.M. 
     FIG. 6. Correlation of apparent K c  cell ecdysteroid receptor affinity and induction of premature molting in L3D0 M. sexta larvae for Example No. 3 analogs.  3  H-ponasterone A receptor displacement assays were as described herein. Premature molt induction of L3D0 hornworms was measured by admixing different concentrations of analogs in 0.5% DMSO:acetone (1:1) into artificial diet, then allowing the larvae to feed for 48 hours (10 individuals per treatment). The EC 50  was determined by plotting percentage of the treatment population bearing a prematurely slipped head capsule vs. dose in the diet.

     Those N&#39;-substituted-N,N&#39;-diacylhydrazines of Formula I which possess acidic or basic functional groups may be further reacted to form novel salts with appropriate bases or acids. These salts also exhibit pesticidal activity. Typical salts are the agronomically acceptable metal salts, ammonium salts and acid addition salts. Among the metal salts are those in which the metal cation is an alkali metal cation such as sodium, potassium, lithium or the like; alkaline earth metal cation such as calcium, magnesium, barium, strontium or the like; or heavy metal cation such as zinc, manganese, cupric, cuprous, ferric, ferrous, titanium, aluminum or the like. The ammonium salts include those in which the ammonium cation has the formula NR 5  R 6  R 7  R 8  wherein each of R 5 , R 6 , R 7  and R 8  are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, (C 1  -C 4 )alkoxy, (C 1  -C 20 )alkyl, (C 3  -C 8 )alkenyl, (C 3  -C 8 )alkynyl, (C 2  -C 8 )hydroxyalkyl, (C 2  -C 8 )alkoxyalkyl, (C 2  -C 6 )aminoalkyl, (C 2  -C 6 )haloalkyl, amino, (C 1  -C 4 )alkyl or (C 1  -C 4 )dialkylamino, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenylalkyl, having up to four carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, or any two of R 5 , R 6 , R 7  or R 8  can be taken together to form with the nitrogen atom a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, optionally having up to one additional hetero atom (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur) in the ring, and preferably saturated, such as piperidino, morpholino, pyrrolidino, piperazino or the like, or any three of R 5 , R 6 , R 7  or R 8  can be taken together to form with the nitrogen atom a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic ring, such as piperazole or pyridine.

     Helminths and arthropods (like insects and crustacea) are members of the Protostomia. However, helminths are not phylogenetically close to insects. There are two different phyla of helminths; the first are nematodes in phylum Nemathelminthes (e.g., intestinal roundworms, hookworms and worms causing elephantiasis and river blindness in humans; roundworms, hookworms, pinworms and heartworms in animals). The second are trematodes (e.g., schistosomes or blood flukes in humans and liver flukes of livestock) and cestodes (e.g., tapeworms of humans and animals), both of which belong to the phylum Plathelminthes. 
     For insects to successfully grow, that is progress from one larval stage to the next larger larval stage or metamorphose to an adult stage, they must moult or shed the old cuticle. The natural occurring hormones ecdysone or 20-hydroxyecdysone induce the molting. Compounds of this invention are insect growth regulators in that they interfere with this natural moulting and other growth-regulated processes. 
     Growth regulatory effects are not usually expressed rapidly after treatment. This is contrary to conventional insecticides, such as neurotoxins, respiratory poisons and the like, which affect vital processes and which are noted for rapidity of effect. 
     For example, compounds such as: 
     
         (R.sup.1).sub.2 --P(X)X(CH.sub.2).sub.n C(O)NHN(R&#34;)C(O)C.sub.5 H.sub.6, 
    
     where 
     R 1  =lower alkyl, alkoxy, thioalkyl and may be identical or different 
     X=O or S, n=0-5 and R&#34;=t-butyl 
     would constitute conventional, fast-acting, cholinesterese-inhibiting neurotoxins with efficacy anticipated against a comparatively broad range of insect orders and acarides as well as non-target organisms such as mammals, fish and birds. By contrast insect growth regulators, as claimed herein, would be somewhat less rapid in effect. 
     The following parameters are important to yield compounds having the nucleus of Formula Ia which are insect growth regulators. At least one of the moieties attached to one of the G 1  &#39;s should have at least some bulk, i.e., at least two or three non-hydrogen atoms. However, if the bulk becomes too great, the compounds become less effective as insect growth regulators. Therefore, the moieties attached to the G 1  &#39;s should be no greater than about 21 non-hydrogen atoms. 
     The size of the moiety E of Formula I is important. E should have at least 4 non-hydrogen atoms. Oxygen containing radicals have been found to be generally not preferred. If oxygen is present, generally E should be bulkier. Moieties containing two oxygen atoms or one oxygen and one sulfur atom are less preferred. It is preferred that E have no greater than 10 non-hydrogen atoms. Preferably, E does not include a chain of greater than four or five non-hydrogen atoms but is highly branched. 
     The compounds of this invention or their precursors can be prepared according to the following processes. Process A can be used when preparing compounds according to Formula II below where X and X&#39; are both oxygen and A and B are the same (i.e., both A and B are phenyl or 4-chlorophenyl) or different (i.e., A is 4-methylphenyl and B is 4-chlorophenyl). ##STR30## wherein A and B are organic radicals attached to the carbon shown in Formula II by a carbon-to-carbon single bond and R 1  is other than hydrogen. ##STR31## where R 1 , A and B are as defined above for Formula II and X and X&#39; are oxygen. 
     When R 1  is cyano substituted alkyl, the intermediate Va may be made as follows: ##STR32## where M is K or Na, X and X&#39; are oxygen, A and B are as defined above for Formula II, and R 3  and R 4  are the same or different hydrogen or (C 2  -C 9 ) straight or branched chain unsubstituted or substituted alkyl having one or two of the same or different (C 3  -C 6 )cycloalkyl. 
     Process B can be used when preparing compounds according to Formula II where X and X&#39; are oxygen, and R 1 , A and B are as defined above for Formula II. ##STR33## where X and X&#39; are oxygen, A and B are as defined above for Formula II, and R 3  and R 4  are the same or different hydrogen or (C 2  -C 9 ) straight or branched chain unsubstituted or substituted alkyl having one or two of the same or different (C 3  -C 6 )cycloalkyl. As can be seen above, the intermediate product of Step 2, the compounds of Formula X, corresponds to the compounds of Formula V. In addition, the compound of Formula XI corresponds to the compounds of Formula II where X and X&#39; are oxygen. ##STR34## where R 1 , A and B are as defined above for Formula II and W is a good leaving group such as halo, for example, chloro; an alkoxy, for example, ethoxy; methyl sulfonate (--OSO 2  CH 3 ); or an ester, for example, acetate (--OC(O)CH 3 ). 
     Process C can be used when preparing compounds according to Formula II where A, B, and R 1  are as defined for Formula II and one or both X and X&#39; are sulfur. ##STR35## where A, B and R 1  are as defined for Formula II and one or both X and X&#39; are sulfur, and Y is a good leaving group such as carboxyalkylthio, for example, carboxymethylthio and --SCH 2  CO 2  H; alkylthio, for example, methylthio; or halo, for example, chloro. 
     Process D can be used when preparing compounds according to Formula II where X and X&#39; are oxygen and R 1 , A and B are as defined above for Formula II. ##STR36## wherein A, B and R 1  are as defined above for Formula II and Z is t-butyl; ethyl; phenyl or benzyl.

Alternatively, a suitable substituted hydrazine (such as t-butylhydrazine or (trimethylsilylmethyl)hydrazine) is reacted with di-tertbutyldicarbonate in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents (such as toluene/water) to afford an N&#39;-t-butyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylhydrazine or an N&#39;-(trimethylsilylmethyl)-N-t-butoxycarbonylhydrazine which is then reacted with a benzoylchloride in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford N&#39;-t-butyl-N&#39;-benzoyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylhydrazine or an N&#39;-(trimethylsilylmethyl)-N&#39;-benzoyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylhydrazine which is then reacted with an acid to afford the desired compound of Formula XIII. 
     In Process C, a compound of Formula XIV is reacted with a monosubstituted hydrazine of Formula IV or a corresponding acid addition salt such as the hydrochloride salt or the like in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford an intermediate compound of Formula XV which can be isolated or further reacted with a compound of Formula XVI in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford the desired product of Formula I. 
     In Process D, a monosubstituted hydrazine of Formula IV or a corresponding acid addition salt, such as the hydrochloride salt or the like, is reacted with a compound of Formula XVII in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford an intermediate product of Formula XVIII. The intermediate product of Formula XVIII is then further reacted with a compound of Formula VI in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford a second intermediate product of Formula XIX. The second intermediate product of Formula XIX is then further reacted with an acid in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford a third intermediate product of Formula XX. The third intermediate product of Formula XX is then further reacted with a compound of Formula III in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford the desired product of Formula II. 
     Examples of the compounds of Formula XVII which can be used in the above Process D include di-t-butyldicarbonate, diethyldicarbonate, diphenyldicarbonate, dibenzyldicarbonate and the like. The compounds of Formula XVII are generally commercially available or can be prepared by known procedures. 
     Suitable solvents for use in the above Process D, Steps 1, 2 and 4, include water; tetrahydrofuran; dioxane; toluene; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol; hexane; acetonitrile; pyridine and haloalkanes such as methylene chloride or mixtures of these solvents. 
     Preferred solvents are dioxane; toluene; tetrahydrofuran; pyridine; methylene chloride or water. 
     Most preferred solvents are dioxane; water or toluene. 
     Examples of the bases for use in the above Process D, Steps 1, 2 and 4, include tertiary amines such as triethylamine; pyridine; potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate; sodium bicarbonate; sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. 
     Preferred bases are sodium hydroxide; potassium hydroxide; pyridine or triethylamine. 
     Suitable solvents for use in the above Process D, Step 3, include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol; water; tetrahydrofuran; dioxane and acetonitrile. 
     Preferred solvents are methanol or ethanol. 
     Examples of acids for use in the above Process D, Step 3, include concentrated hydrochloric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid. 
     When A and B are the same, for example, both A and B are unsubstituted phenyl, two equivalents of a compound Formula XIV or XVI are reacted with a monosubstituted hydrazine of Formula IV in the presence of a base in an inert or substantially inert solvent or mixture of solvents to afford the desired product of Formula II. 
     Examples of the compounds of Formula XIV and/or Formula XVI which can be used in the above Process C include 3-methyl-methylthio-thiobenzoate, 4-chloromethylthio-thiobenzoate, 4-methyl-methylthio-thiobenzoate, carboxymethylthio-thiobenzoate and the like. The compounds of Formula XIV and/or Formula XVI are generally commercially available or can be prepared by known procedures. 
     Suitable solvents for use in the above Process C are generally polar high-boiling solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF); glyme; tetrahydrofuran (THF) and pyridine. The preferred solvent is pyridine. 
     Suitable bases for use in the above Process C include tertiary amines such as triethylamine and pyridine. The preferred base is pyridine. 
     The above Processes A and B, Method 1, can be carried out at temperatures between about -20° C. and about 100° C. Preferably, these reactions are carried out between about -5° C. and about 50° C. 
     The above Process B, Method 2, can be carried out at temperatures between about -50° C. and about 150° C. Preferably when W is a halo radical, the reaction is carried out between about 0° C. and about 30° C. When W is alkoxy, the reaction is preferably carried out between about 100° C. and about 150° C. When W is methyl sulfonate, the reaction is preferably carried out between about -20° C. to about 20° C. When W is an ester, the reaction is preferably carried out between about 0° C. and about 50° C. 
     Process C can be carried out at temperatures between about 10° C. and 200° C. Preferably, this reaction is carried out between about 70° C. and about 100° C. 
     Process D can be carried out at temperatures between about 0° C. and 100° C. Preferably, these reactions are carried out between about 0° C. and about 50° C. 
     Preparation of the compounds of the present invention by processes A, B, C and D are preferably carried out at about atmospheric pressure, although higher or lower pressures can be used if desired. 
     Substantially equimolar amounts of reactants are preferably used in processes A, B and C, although higher or lower amounts can be used if desired. 
     Generally, about one equivalent of base is used per equivalent of starting material of Formula III, VI, XII and/or XIV. Where the acid addition salt of the monosubstituted hydrazine of Formula IV is used, one additional equivalent of base is used. For example, in Process A, when substituents A and B are the same and a monosubstituted hydrazine is used, about two equivalents of base are used since about two equivalents of a suitably substituted benzoyl chloride of Formula III or VI are employed. In Process A, when substituents A and B are different and an acid addition salt of the monosubstituted hydrazines of Formula IV is used, about two equivalents of base are used in Step 1 and about one equivalent of base is used in Step 2. 
     Modifications to the above processes may be necessary to accommodate reactive functionalities of particular A and/or B substituents. Such modifications would be apparent and known to those skilled in the art. 
     It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that electronic forces may give rise to more than one isomer of the compounds of Formula II such as enantiomers, conformers and the like. There may be a difference in properties such as physical characteristics and degree of biological activity between such isomers. Separation of a specific isomer can be accomplished by standard techniques well known to those skilled in the art such as silica gel chromatography. 
     The agronomically acceptable salts embraced by Formula I of the invention can be prepared by reacting a metal hydroxide, a metal hydride or an amine or ammonium salt, such as a halide, hydroxide or alkoxide with a compound of Formula I having one or more hydroxy or carboxy groups or reacting a quaternary ammonium salt, such as chloride, bromide, nitrate or the like with a metal salt of a compound of Formula I in a suitable solvent. When metal hydroxides are used as reagents, useful solvents include water; ethers such as glyme and the like; dioxane; tetrahydrofuran; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and the like. When metal hydrides are used as reagents, useful solvents include nonhydroxylic solvents, for example, ethers such as dioxane, glyme, diethylether and the like; tetrahydrofuran; hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, hexane, pentane, heptane, octane and the like; dimethylformamide and the like. When amines are used as reagents, useful solvents include alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; hydrocarbons, such as toluene, xylene, hexane and the like; tetrahydrofuran; glyme; dioxane or water. When ammonium salts are used as reagents, useful solvents include water; alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; glyme; tetrahydrofuran or the like. When the ammonium salt is other than a hydroxide or alkoxide, an additional base, such as potassium or sodium hydroxide, hydride or alkoxide is generally used. The particular choice of solvent will depend on the relative solubilities of the starting materials and the resultant salts and slurries rather than solutions of certain reagents which may be used to obtain the salts. Generally, equivalent amounts of the starting reagents are used and the salt-forming reaction is carried out at about 0° C. to about 100° C., preferably at about room temperature. 
     The acid addition salts of the present invention can be prepared by reacting hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, acetic, propionic, benzoic or other suitable acids with a compound of Formula I having a basic functional group in a suitable solvent. Useful solvents include water, alcohols, ethers, esters, ketones, haloalkanes and the like. The particular choice of solvent will depend on the relative solubilities of the starting materials and the resulting salts and slurries rather than solutions of certain reagents which may be used to obtain the salts. Generally, equivalent molar amounts of starting materials are used and the salt-forming reaction is carried out at from about -10° C. to about 100° C., preferably at about room temperature. 
     N-t-alkyl-1,2-diacylhydrazines may be prepared by reacting a 1,3,4-oxadiazole with a tertiary alkyl cation precursor in the presence of a strong acid catalyst. The tertiary alkyl cation precursor may be an alcohol, ester, ether, halogen or olefin. The preferred tertiary alkyl cation precursor is an alcohol, acetate, benzoate, methyl ether, ethyl ether, chloride, bromide or olefin. The most preferred precursors are t-butanol, t-butylacetate, t-butylbenzoate, t-butylmethyl ether, t-butylethyl ether and isobutylene. 
     The strong acid catalyst must be strong enough to open the oxadiazole ring but not so strong as to dehydrate the hydrazine. Acids which include the acid anhydride in excess cause the product hydrazine to revert to the oxadiazole. 
     The preferred acid catalysts are sulfur containing acids and, more preferably, sulfuric acid. Although hydrogen chloride is a stronger acid than p-toluenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid was found not to catalyze the reaction under the conditions tested whereas the p-toluenesulfonic acid was an effective catalyst. 
     The reaction process is preferably carried out in the presence of a solvent such as a low molecular weight acid, ester, alcohol or ether. &#34;Low molecular weight&#34; is intended to include acids, esters, alcohols and ethers which are liquids at the reaction temperature. The preferred solvents are acetic acid, ethyl acetate, methylbenzoate and diethyl ether. The most preferred solvent is acetic acid. 
     Depending upon reactants, catalyst and solvent, the process may be carried out between -20° C. and 150° C. The process has been carried out between 0° C. and 118° C. The preferred temperature range is 15° C.-60° C. and the most preferred temperature range is 20° C.-30° C. 
     The following examples will further illustrate this invention but are not intended to limit it in any way. In Table I, some N&#39;-substituted-N,N&#39;-disubstitutedhydrazines of the present invention that have been made are listed. The structure of these compounds was confirmed by NMR and in some cases by IR and/or elemental analysis.

     In general, for the control of helminths, the compounds of the present invention may be used at a dosage corresponding to from about 0.1 to 200 mg/kg body weight. The exact amount of dosage for a given situation can be routinely determined and depends on a variety of factors, for example, the substance used, the kind of helminth, the formulation used and the state of the human or animal infested with the helminth. 
     The term &#34;anthelmintic&#34; as employed in the specification and claims of this application is to be construed as any means which adversely affect the existence or growth of the target helminths at any stage in their life cycle. Such means can comprise a complete killing action, eradication, arresting in growth, inhibition, reducing in number, reproductive inhibition (such as ovicidal or chemisterilant) or any combination thereof. 
     The term &#34;control&#34; as employed in the specification and claims of this application is to be construed as meaning &#34;anthelminticidal&#34; or protecting humans or animals from helminth damage. By &#34;anthelmintically effective amount&#34; is meant that dosage of active substance sufficient to exert helminth &#34;control.&#34; 
     The compounds of the present invention, for practical applications, can be utilized in the form of compositions or formulations. Examples of the preparation of compositions and formulations can be found in Controlled Action Drug Forms by J. C. Colbert, Noyes Data Corp., Park Ridge, N.J. (1974). 
     The steroid molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone is the physiological inducer of molting and metamorphosis in insects. Certain insect cell lines retain sensitivity to the hormone and respond by proliferative and differentiative transformation. Such responses in Drosophilia K c  cells have been used to demonstrate that N-t-butyl-N,N&#39;-dibenzoylhydrazine (Example No. 3) mimics the action of 20-hydroxyecdysone by causing the formation of neuron-like processes, an inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of acetylcholinesterase. Example No. 3 also competes with  3  H-ponasterone A for high affinity ecdysone receptor sites from K c  cell extracts. Resistant cell populations selected by growth in the continued presence of either Example No. 3 or 20-hydroxyecdysone are insensitive to both compounds and exhibit a decreased titer of measurable ecdysone receptors. Example No. 3 thus represents the first known non-steroidal ecdysone agonist. Although it is less potent than 20-hydroxyecdysone in both whole cell and cell-free receptor assays, this insecticide and its analogs possess useful ecdysone type action. 
     The two non-peptide hormones known to regulate insect metamorphosis and development are the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone and the steroid molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone having the following formula: ##STR58## Juvenile hormone, which is responsible for maintenance of a larval or nymphal state in immature molting insects, has been the subject of intensive chemical research and has served as a model for an entire class of structurally diverse juvenoid mimics. By contrast, while the use of edysones as insecticides has been considered, progress has been hampered by the structural complexity and synthetic inaccessibility of the active steroids for commercial scale field application. In addition, insects have developed powerful mechanisms for catabolizing and clearing ecdysones between molts. Thus the molting hormones have received little attention from the pesticide industry. 
     The discovery made over 50 years ago that ketophenanthrenes can have estrogenic effects has spawned both an active area of basic biomedical research and an approach to novel drug development. However, the absence of such non-steroidal ecdysone agonists and antagonists has prevented similar advances in the field of insect endocrinology. Example No. 3 is a non-steroidal ecdysone agonist in Drosophila K c  cell extracts, whole cells and in larval Lepidoptera. 
     The K c  cell line, originally derived from Drosophila embryos, has proven to be an excellent model system for the study of ecdysone action on differentiation and morphogenesis and early events in genomic regulation of protein synthesis. Naive K c  cells divide every 24 hours and are roughly spherical; however, they differentiate after exposure for two days or more to active ecdysones by halting their proliferation, clumping tightly and forming long, branched processes. Cells treated with Example No. 3 are in all respects indistinguishable morphologically from 20-hydroxyecdysone-treated cells. However, the hormone (EC 50  =0.035 uM) is about 137-fold more potent than Example No. 3 (EC 50  =4.8 uM) at initiating process elaboration and inhibiting proliferation (FIG. 1). These characteristic responses have heretofore been restricted to active ecdysones, and cannot be induced by cyclic nucleotides, dimethyl sulfoxide, various mammalian growth factors or serum deprivation. 
     In addition, both 20-hydroxyecdysone (EC 50  =0.007 uM) and Example No. 3 (EC 50  =1.05 uM) cause an increase in the specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (FIG. 2), again a response previously restricted to the ecdysones. Thus 20-hydroxyecdysone is 150-fold more potent in this assay than is Example No. 3. The slopes of the process elaboration, cell density and acetylcholinesterase induction dose-response curves are roughly parallel for both compounds, indicating that although the chemical structures are totally different, the action of both the steroid and Example No. 3 is at the same receptor, but with different affinities. 
     Biochemical evidence for the action of Example No. 3A on an ecdysone receptor is shown in FIG. 3A. These data show a Scatchard plot of  3  H-ponasterone A binding to K c  cell cytosol extracts in the presence of Example No. 3; increasing concentrations of Example No. 3 lead to an increase in the equilibrium dissociation constant K d  while the value of B max  remains the same. The binding thermodynamics observed indicate a competitive mode of inhibition of  3  H-ponasterone A binding and imply that ponasterone A and Example No. 3 share a common binding domain in the receptor. The experimentally determined values K d  =0.29 nM and B max  =0.71 nM calculated from the binding isotherm in the absence of Example No. 3A compare favorably with values obtained by other workers. FIG. 3B shows the relative ability of 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 to displace 0.5 nM  3  H-ponasterone A from the receptor; the hormone (IC 50  =0.1 uM) has 30-fold greater apparent affinity than Example No. 3 (IC 50  =3.0 uM). 
     When K c  cells are incubated for four weeks in either 1×10 -6  M 20-hydroxyecdysone or 1×10 -4  M Example No. 3, the surviving cells do not respond to either compound by elaborating processes or slowing their proliferation. Both of these resistant populations also show a dramatically reduced capacity to bind  3  H-ponasterone A relative to untreated cells. 
     Resistant K c  cell populations were reared by incubating cells at an initial density of 8×10 6   cells/ml with hormone or Example No. 3. The cells killed by treatment provide a feeder layer for the resistant populations. When tested for ecdysteroid receptor activity, it was found that cell populations reared in the presence of 1×10 -6  M 20-hydroxyecdysone, 1×10 -4  M Example No. 3 and solvent controls bind 1.5, 1.4 and 10.1 femtomoles  3  H-ponasterone A per mg cytosolic protein, respectively. Ponasterone binding was assayed as described below and protein concentrations were determined using the Biorad method. This cross-resistance is compelling evidence that 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 act through the ecdysone receptor. 
     The benzoylphenylurea insect growth regulators 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea and 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyloxy)phenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea at saturating concentrations failed to produce ecdysone-like responses in whole K c  cells and did not displace  3  H-ponasterone A from cytosolic receptor extracts. Thus, at the biochemical and cellular levels Example No. 3 is distinct in its actions from the benzoylphenylureas. 
     Example No. 3 causes the premature initiation of molting at all stages of larval development of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. This phenomenon occurs without an increase in the endogenous ecdysone titers. Example No. 3 likewise provokes the initiation of molting in larval abdomens in the absence of a source of endogenous hormone. Though substantially less active than 20-hydroxyecdysone in Drosophila cell assays, Example No. 3 was 30 to &gt;670-fold as active as the authentic molting hormone in bioassays utilizing isolated larval abdomens or intact hornworms. This reversal in potency can be attributed to the superior transport properties and metabolic stability of Example No. 3 relative to 20-hydroxyecdysone. 
     The following 25 examples were tested to determine their ability to induce rapid molting in M. sexta larvae which correlates well with their relative apparent K c  cell receptor affinities: 3, 10, 13, 16, 24, 27, 28, 30, 45, 60, 80, 83, 104, 107, 138, 172, 200, 379, 428, 481, 489, 529, 724 and 835. Example No. 3 and its analogs are relatively persistent ecdysone agonists which halt feeding in larval Lepidoptera by forcing an ultimately lethal, developmentally premature molt. 
     As described previously, in in vitro bioassays where differential metabolic and transport effects were inconsequential, Example No. 3 was consistently less active than 20-hydroxyecdysone. However, Example No. 3 is extraordinarily potent at promoting molting in larvae of the tobacco hornworm. This is due to a direct action of the compound on target tissues and not via elevation of endogenous ecdysone titers. This is the insecticidally significant mode of action of Example No. 3 and many of its analogs in lepidopteran larvae. 
     Lepidoptera display the onset of a larval molt by slippage of the head capsule down over the mandibles during formation of an underlying pharate head capsule; this morphological marker accompanies epidermal apolysis which ordinarily occurs at or near peak molting hormone titers. Example No. 3 causes a rapid, premature apolysis in newly ecdysed fifth instar day 0 (L5DO) M. sexta larvae. Clear signs of head capsule apolysis are evident 24 hours after the initiation of feeding. 
     The effect of Example No. 3 on immunoreactive ecdysone titers and weights of developing L4 M. sexta larvae are shown in FIG. 4. It may be observed that the treated larvae undergo head capsule slippage after only 24 hours, without any elevation of ecdysone titers; simultaneously further feeding and weight gain ceases. Larvae treated with Example No. 3 are unable to ecdyse (shed their old cuticle) successfully; hemorrhage of hemolymph and molting fluid took place and the pharate larvae eventually died without completing the molt. 
     The relative potency of 20-hydroxyecdysone and Example No. 3 at initiating development in isolated abdomen or intact hornworm assays is shown in Table IV.

     L4D1 means fourth instar, first day after molting. L4 animals 36 hours after ecdysis were ligated, decapitated and next day injected with varying doses of compound in 1-2 ul DMSO. They were scored as follows: 0=normal L4 abdomens with no L5 crochets or spiracle apolysis; 1=exposed dorsal vessel (response to moderate levels of molting hormone in the presence of low JH levels); 2=L5 crochets formed but no spiracle apolysis; 3=L5 crochets formed and mild spiracle apolysis; 4=strong molting response, both L5 crochets and spiracle cuticle synthesized. These methods are an adaptation of the method of J. W. Truman, L. M. Riddiford, L. Safranek, 39 Dev. Biol 247 (1974). Injection and scoring of L5D3 abdomens (weighing 6.5-7.5 g) are also adaptations of previous methods in H. F. Nijhout, 22 J. Insect Physiol. 453 (1976). Mature feeding stage fifth instar animals weighing 8.5-9.5  g were ligated and decapitated, and immediately injected with Example No. 3 in 2-5 ul DMSO. Animals were held over moistened filter paper at 25° C. and were scored after three days. Scoring was as follows: 0=normal undeveloped blue-green L5D3 abdomen; 1=light dorsal vessel exposure; 2=dorsal vessel well-exposed with mild cuticular blanching, abdominal contraction; 3=complete prepupal cuticle formation with strong abdominal contraction and strong cuticular blanching. For both L4 and L5 abdomens, 50% effective doses were determined by plotting the mean score for all individuals vs. dose, then determining the dose which gives a score of 2.0 and 1.5 respectively. Intact L5D0 hornworms were either allowed to feed on treated commercial black cutworm diet or injected into a proleg and scored after 48 hours. The 50% effective dose was calculated by plotting percentage of the population bearing a prematurely apolysed head capsule vs. dose. For all experiments in this table at least 5 different doses with 10 animals per dose were used. 
     The prothoracic glands are the only known source of 20-hydroxyecdysone precursors in hornworm larvae, and after ligation and removal of the thorax the abdomens are convenient preparations of target tissues. When injected into L4D1 abdomens 20-hydroxyecdysone elicited apolysis of spiracular cuticle and the formation of new fifth instar larval crochets (sclerotized hooks at the bottom of the proleg). However, Example No. 3 is 30-fold more potent in this assay than the molting hormone. 
     When injected into L5D3 abdomens, Example No. 3 was again 30 times as potent as 20-hydroxyecdysone at initiating events related to pupal formation. These results imply that Example No. 3 is capable of stimulating the epidermal cells to undergo apolysis and to synthesize the appropriate proteins necessary for either larval or pupal cuticle formation under the modulating influence of juvenile hormone, in a manner precisely analogous to stimulation by 20-hydroxyecdysone. 
     The dosage differences between the two compounds was even more dramatic in bioassays on intact (unligated) L5D0 hornworms. If the compounds are injected, Example No. 3 was 67-fold as effective as 20-hydroxyecdysone, while if administered orally, it was over 670-fold as potent. 
     Hemolymph concentrations of  14  C-Example No. 3 were measured by feeding L5D0 hornworm larvae artificial diet containing the labelled compound. At specified intervals thereafter measured volumes of hemolymph were collected, extracted and analyzed by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. FIG. 5 shows that administration of 10 ug/g of the compound (about a 95% effective dose for premature molting at this stage) resulted in peak hemolymph concentrations of 16 uM, at six hours after the initiation of feeding. Blood levels then declined rapidly, but remained at a residual level of about 3 uM for at least 36 hours thereafter. By contrast, feeding up to 2000 ppm 20-hydroxyecdysone failed to elicit head capsule slippage in L5D0 hornworm larvae, indicating that hemolymph ecdysone titers were well below those usually observed during a molt (about 6 uM). 
     Although the apparent binding affinity of Example No. 3 to K c  cell extracts was 30-fold lower than that of 20-hydroxyecdysone, Example No. 3 is clearly much more potent at eliciting whole animal effects, apparently due to its longevity in the hemocoele after ingestion. The peak concentrations of Example No. 3 in the hemolymph at 10 ug/g oral dose exceeded by 3 to 5 fold those required for a 50% response in process elaboration in whole K c  cells and in displacement of  3  H-ponasterone A from its receptor in K c  cell extracts. By contrast orally administered 20-hydroxyecdysone is probably metabolized and cleared rapidly. 
     The relative potencies of the previously listed 24 analogs of Example No. 3 were tested in vitro on Drosophila K c  cell receptor binding and compared with their ability to promote premature head capsule apolysis in L3D0 hornworm larvae (FIG. 6). Apparent receptor binding affinity correlates highly with insecticidal activity in vivo (r=0.88). These data argue that at least for this population of compounds the toxicologically significant mode of action is ecdysonergic, and that the N-alkyl-N,N&#39;-diacyl hydrazine binding domains of both the dipteran K c  cell receptor and the lepidopteran epidermal receptors are similar. 
     In parallel tests the two benzoylphenylurea insecticides previously mentioned failed to elicit premature molting in intact hornworms or isolated abdomens. These results corroborate those described for Drosophila K c  cells and their ecdysone receptor extracts and provide further evidence that Example No. 3 and the benzoylphenylureas differ markedly in their mode of action. Although both compound classes cause ecdysis failure, the benzoylphenylureas disrupt normal cuticle lamellar deposition, while it appears that Example No. 3 causes a forced, ill-timed synthesis of cuticle before the animal is developmentally competent to molt. In addition, high residual levels of an ecdysone agonist may inhibit the release of and sensitivity to eclosion hormone, which requires a peak of 20-hydroxyecdysone followed by its precipitous decline. 
     The relative potencies of some 373 of the analogs of Example No. 3 were tested in vitro of Drosophila K c  cell receptor binding EC 50  (uM) and compared with their Southern Armyworm activity LC 50  (ppm). There is an excellent correlation between apparent receptor binding affinity and Southern Armyworm activity (R=0.79). 
     Example No. 3 at 1×10 -4  M is not significantly bound by our antiecdysone antiserum (representing a &gt;&gt;3125-fold lower binding affinity than 20-hydroxyecdysone). Consequently, Example No. 3 can be used as an agonist in physiological systems, while using ecdysone-specific immunoassays to measure steroid levels. For example, we have observed that ecdysone titers in L4D0 animals treated with Example No. 3 are significantly depressed relative to control levels within four hours after the initiation of feeding. These findings imply that in hornworm larvae ecdysone agonists exert a negative feedback inhibition on hormone biosynthesis, as has been suggested for Pieris brassicae pupae. 
     We have observed the induction of premature head capsule apolysis by Example No. 3 in all larval stages of M. sexta. This phenomenon has also been observed in larval Lepidoptera of the families Noctuidae, Pyralidae and Pieridae. Example No. 3 controls dipteran larvae (both houseflies and mosquitoes) and certain coleopteran larvae, and has been shown to inhibit ovariole development in all three orders. This latter activity is consistent with its putative ecdysonergic mechanism of action. 
     It is known that ecdysteroids occur in helminths, and they are thought to play an important role in molting and development, as they do in insects. (See J. Koolman et al., in Biosynthesis Metablism and Mode of Action of Invertebrate Hormines, ed. by J. Hoffmann and M. Porchet, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelbery 1984, p. 323-345. Also see H. H. Rees and A. W. H. mendis, ibid., p. 331.) 
     It is known that 20-hydroxyecdysone controls helminths. It has been shown that Example No. 3 has a mode of action similar to 20-hydroxyecdysone, the apparent receptor binding affinity of 24 analogs of Example No. 3 correlates highly with hornworm activity in vivo and the apparent receptor binding affinity of 373 of the analogs of Example No. 3 correlates excellently with Southern Armyworm activity in vivo. Therefore one would anticipate that each of the Example No. 3 analogs would control helminths. 
     The N-alkyl-N,N&#39;-diacyl hydrazines are thus a novel class of &#34;ecdysonoids&#34; and are representative members of the &#34;third generation insecticides&#34; having their genesis in insect hormones. C. M. Williams coined the term &#34;hyperecdysonism&#34;, an experimentally induced state first described in Samia cynthia pupae; clearly, many of the phenomena reported here for Example No. 3 are aptly described by this term. Other modes of action may be encountered in these compounds; for example, significant neurotoxic symptoms in certain Coleoptera in vivo and housefly larval muscle in vitro. However, it is clear that Example No. 3 and its analogs are behaving as nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists in Drosophila K c  cells and in hornworm larvae, and it is anticipated that these findings will extend to other invertebrate systems utilizing ecdysones such as helminths.
