N-cyanoalkyl-N-haloalkylthio carboxamides as fungicides

Abstract

N-cyanoalkyl-N-haloalkylthio alkyl-, aryl- and aralkyl-carboxamides of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, lower alkenyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms or lower alkynyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, all optionally substituted with 1 to 4 halogen atoms; lower alkoxyalkylene; aryl of 6 to 12 carbon atoms; aralkyl of 7 to 16 carbon atoms; or substituted aryl or substituted aralkyl both substituted with 1 to 3 substituents independently selected from phenyl, lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, lower alkylthio of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen, nitro, cyano, ##STR2## wherein R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, ##STR3## wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and R.sup.3 is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted with 3 to 6 halogen atoms or trihalovinyl are fungicidal.
