Abstract
Novel compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R is lower alkyl, R.sub.2 is thio-lower alkyl or thio-lower alkenyl, R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and X is oxygen or sulfur, provided that when X is oxygen, R is lower alkoxy, have shown utility as insecticides and miticides and in some cases as plant growth regulators.
Claims6
A compound having the formula ##STR7## in which R is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
- R.sub.1 is lower alkyl;
- R.sub.2 is thio-lower alkenyl;
- R.sub.3 is hydrogen and X is oxygen or sulfur, provided that when X is oxygen, R is lower alkoxy.
A method for controlling insects comprising applying to the insects, the habitat thereof, or a locus where protection is desired, an insecticidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR8## in which R is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
- R.sub.1 is lower alkyl;
- R.sub.2 is thio-lower alkenyl;
- R.sub.3 is hydrogen and X is oxygen or sulfur;
- provided that when X is oxygen, R is lower alkoxy.
An insecticidal composition of matter comprising:
- (a) an insecticidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR9## in which R is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
- R.sub.1 is lower alkyl;
- R.sub.2 is thio-lower alkenyl;
- R.sub.3 is hydrogen and X is oxygen or sulfur provided that when X is oxygen, R is lower alkoxy;
- and
- (b) an insecticidally suitable inert carrier or diluent.
