PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MACROLIDE COMPOUNDS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM, AND PESTICIDE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Compounds of formula (1) wherein R<1> represents a methyl, ethyl or isopropyl group; Y<1> is -CH2-, Y<2> is -CH- and X represents [where R<2> represents a hydrogen atom or a group OR<6> (where OR<6> is a hydroxy group or a substituted hydroxyl group having up to 25 carbon atoms) and R<3> represents a hydrogen atom, or R<2> and R<3> together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent >C=0, >C=CH2 or>C=NOR<7> (where R<7> represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-8 alkyl group or a C3-8 alkenyl group and the group >C=NOR<7> is in the E configuration)] or -Y<1>-X-Y<2>- represents -CH= CH-CH- or -CH2-CH=C-; R<4> represents a group OR<6> as defined above and R<5> represents a hydrogen atom, or R<4> and R<5> together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent >C=0 or>C=NOR<7a> (where R<7a> is as defined above for R<7>); and one of R<8> and R<9> represents an alkoxyalkoxy grup optionally interrupted by an oxygen atom or an alkoxy group and the other represents a hydrogen atom or R <8> and R<9> together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent >C=NOR<7b> (where R<7b>is as defined above for R<7>), and salts thereof. These compounds may be used to control nematode, acamine, insect or other pests.
