Insecticidal, acaricidal or nematicidal 3-cyano-8-azabicyclo›3.2.1!octane derivatives

Abstract

The invention provides novel compounds of formula (I) and formula (II) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a group of formula (A) ##STR2## where each of W, X, Y and Z and represents either a group CR or the nitrogen atom, provided that not more than two of W, X, Y and Z represent the nitrogen atom and where each R present is independently selected from hydrogen and halogen atoms and cyano, amino, hydrazino, acylamino, hydroxy, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, alkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkenyl, alkynyl, carboxylic acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryl and heterocyclyl groups, said groups comprising up to 6 carbon atoms, and wherein R.sup.2 represents a group XR.sup.3 where X represents oxygen or a group NR.sup.4 where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are individually selected from hydrogen or a group selected from alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroarylalkyl, alkenyl, aralkenyl, alkynyl, heterocyclylalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, and carboxylic acyl groups, said groups comprising from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, said groups being optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from, halogen, cyano, carboxyl, carboxylic acyl, carbamyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxy, alkylenedioxy, hydroxy, nitro, haloalkyl and alkyl groups; and acid addition salts and quaternary ammonium salts and N-oxides derived therefrom. The compounds have useful insecticidal properties.
