Abstract
This invention is related to compounds and/or compositions useful against pathogens affecting meats, plants, or plant parts. In one embodiment, the provided compounds are products of certain oxaborole moieties. In a further embodiment, the compound comprises certain halogen substitutions on the boron atom. Delivery systems are also provided to take advantage of their fungicidal activity and/or volatile nature of these compounds and/or compositions. In another embodiment, the compounds disclosed have herbicidal activity.

-4. (canceled)
A method of using a compound against pathogens affecting meats, plants, or plant parts, comprising contacting the meats, plants, or plant parts with an effective amount of the compound having a structure of formula (A):
- wherein
- A and D together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form a 5-, 6-, or 7-membered fused ring which may be substituted by C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, nitro, nitrile, amino, amino substituted by one or more C1-C6-alkyl groups, carboxy, acyl, aryloxy, carbonamido, carbonamido substituted by C1-C6-alkyl, sulfonamido or trifluoromethyl or the fused ring may link two oxaborole rings;
- R1 and R2 are each independently halogen or nitrile;
- X1 is a group —(CR3R4)p wherein R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, nitrile, nitro, aryl, arylalkyl or R3 and R4 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form an alicyclic ring;
- p is 1, 2, 3, or 4;
- M+ is a salt counterion;
- and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof.
-14. (canceled)
A method of using a compound against pathogens affecting meats, plants, or plant parts, comprising contacting the meats, plants, or plant parts with an effective amount of the compound having a structure of formula (B):
- wherein
