Insecticidal pteridines and 8-deazapteridines

摘要

This invention relates to pteridine and 8-deazapteridine compounds and compositions containing the same which are useful for controlling insects in agricultural crops. These pteridines may be represented by the following structure: (I) wherein R and R1 are independently selected from amino, lower alkylamino, di(lower alkyl)amino (e.g., -N(CH3)2), or di(lower alkyl)aminomethyleneamino (e.g., -N=CHN(CH3)2); R2 is hydrogen, amino, lower alkyl (e.g., -CH3, -CH(CH3)2), di(lower alkyl)aminomethyleneamino, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, phenyl or substituted phenyl, haloalkylphenylalkyl (e.g., 3-trifluoromethylphenylmethyl); Q is N or CH; R3 is -(n)m-R4, where m is 0 or 1; wherein, when m is 1, n is a bridging atom or moiety selected from oxygen, sulfur, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, lower alkylene (e.g., -CH2-, or -CH2CH2-), lower alkenylene (e.g., -CH=CH-), lower alkynylene (e.g., -C=C-), lower haloalkenylene (e.g., -C(Cl)=CH-), carbonyl, aminomethyl (e.g.,-CH2NH-), or (substituted amino)methyl (e.g.,-CH2N(CH3)-); and R4 is hydrogen, lower alkyl (e.g., -CH3, or -CH(CH3)2), thien-2-yl, pyridin-3-yl, or wherein (i) V, W, X, Y, and Z are as defined herein.
