摘要

Miticidal and aphicidal compounds Or the following formula, processes for preparing them, compositions containing them, and methods of using them to protect plants and animals from damage caused by these pests: where R1 = alkyl of 8-14 carbon atoms either branched, cyclic, or straight chain; R2 = alkyl of 1-17 carbon atoms either branched or straight chain, alkenyl of 2-17 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1-4 carbon atoms, -CH2OCH3. -CH2OCH2CH3-or -CH=CH-COOH; X = hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl, or methoxy; Y = hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl, or methoxy; provided, when R1 is alkyl of 8-11 carbon atoms, at least one of X and Y is other than hydrogen; provided further, when R1 is 12-14 carbon atoms and both X and Y are hydrogen, then R2 is not alkyl or 1-6 carbons nor cycloalkyl of 3-6 carbons.
