Patent ID: 7767667

Claim:
An insecticidal composition comprising at least one of an insecticidally effective amount of a compound of formula I and at least one insecticidally compatible carrier therefor, wherein the compound of formula I is: wherein —R and R 1 are independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl; —R 2 and R 3 are taken together to form a five- or six-membered ring selected from ═NC(R 6 )═C(R 7 )N(R 8 )—, ═CHC(R 6 )═C(R 7 )N(R 8 )—, ═CHN═C(R 7 )N(R 8 )—, ═N(CH 2 ) 3 N(R 8 )—, ═NCH(R 6 )CH(R 7 )S—, ═NCH(R 6 )CH(R 7 )O—, ═CHCH═CHCH═N—, ═NN═CHN(R 8 )—, ═NN═NN(R 8 )—, —OCH(R 6 )CH(R 7 )N(R 8 )N═, and tautomers thereof; where R 6 and R 7 are independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl; R 8 is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, amino, nitro, cyano, formyl, —CH 2 R 9 —, —CH 2 OR 9 , —C(O)R 9 ,—C(O)OR 9 , —CH 2 OC(O)R 9 ,—C(O)N(R 9 )(R 10 ), —S(O) n R 9 —, —S(O) n N(R 9 )(R 10 ) where n is 0, 1, or 2, —Si(R 9 ) 3 , —CH═N(R 9 ), —P(O)(OR 9 )(OR 10 ), —P(O)(NR 9 R 10 )(NR 9 R 10 ), and Y, wherein Y represents i) an N-oxide of said five- or six-membered ring, or ii) forms an OR a linkage wherein R a is selected from hydrogen and alkyl; and, R 9 and R 10 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl aryl, arylalkyl, and heteroaryl, wherein aryl is optionally substituted with one or more substituent independently selected from halogen, alkyl, or haloalkyl; —R 4 and R 5 taken together are —C(R 11 )═C(R 12 )C(R 13 )═C(R 14 )—, where R 11 and R 14 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, and methyl; R 12 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, amino, (C 1 -C 2 )alkyl, methoxy, halomethoxy, (C 2 -C 3 )alkenyl, and (C 2 -C 3 )alkynyl; and R 13 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, cyano, (C 1 -C 2 )alkyl, hydroxyl, methoxy, halomethyl, and (C 2 -C 3 )alkynyl; —X is selected from —O—, —OCH 2 —, —S—, and —SCH 2 —; and agriculturally-acceptable salts thereof.
