Abstract:
The invention comprises organic phosphorus compounds of the general formula wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different represent C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkylmercapto, C1-C4 alkylamino, di-C1-C4 alkylamine, cyano-substituted di-C1-C4-alkylamino, phenyl, C1-C4 alkylmercapto-substituted phenoxy, phenylamino, or morpholyl radicals or a further group or R2 and R2 together form an alkylene-dioxy group; R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen atoms or C1-C4 alkyl, cyano-substituted C1-C4 alkyl, or phenyl radicals or the group represents a morpholyl or piperidyl radical; A represents the residue of carbonic, sulphurous, phenyldithiophosphonic, C1-C4 alkoxy-substituted phenyldithiophosphonic, phthalic, halogen-substituted phthalic, or maleic acid; and X represents an electron pair or a sulphur atom. These compounds may be produced by reacting an appropriate organic compound of trivalent phosphorus containing at least one phosphorus-nitrogen band with an appropriate organic or triorganic anhydride to give a compound in which X is an electron pair and, if desired, reacting said compound with elementary sulphur or a sulphur-yielding agent to give a compound in which X is a sulphur atom. The compounds of the invention exhibit pesticidal activity (see Division A5).ALSO:Pesticidal compositions contain an organophosphorus compound of the general formula wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, represent C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkylmercapto, C1-C4 alkylamino, di-C1-C4-alkylamino, cyano-substituted-di-C1-C4 alkylamino, phenyl, C1-C4 alkylmercapto-substituted phenoxy, phenylamino, or morpholyl radicals or a further group or R1 and R2 together form an alkylenedioxy group; R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen atoms or C1-C4 alkyl, cyano-substituted C1-C4 alkyl, or phenyl radicals or the group represents a morpholyl or piperidyl radical; A represents the residue of carbonic, sulphurous, phenyldithiophosphoric, C1-C4 alkoxy-substituted phenyldithiophosphoric, phthalic, halogen substituted phthalic or maleic acid; and X represents an eletron pair or a sulphur atom, in admixture with a solid or liquid diluent or carrier.
Abstract:
The invention comprises amido-phosphazides of the general formula:-[(R)2N]3P=N-N=N-R1 wherein R is a C1-C4 alkyl radical or wherein (R)2N forms a piperidine, piperazine, morpholine, thiamorpholine or pyrrolidine ring system and R1 stands for a phenyl, C1-C4 alkylsubstituted phenyl, halo-substituted phenyl, nitro-substituted phenyl, chloro- and nitro-substituted phenyl, carbalkoxy-substituted phenyl, di C1-C4 alkylamino-substituted phenyl, C1-C4 alkoxy-substituted phenyl, naphthyl, benzoyl, halo-substituted benzoyl, C1-C4 alkylsubstituted benzoyl, nitro-substituted benzoyl, or carbalkoxy-substituted benzoyl. They may be obtained by reacting appropriate aromatic azides with appropriate phosphorous acid triamides, the reaction being carried out in the presence of an inert diluent, e.g. ether. On heating the products above their melting point decomposition occurs with the evolution of nitrogen, the corresponding imines being formed. The amido-phosphazide products have insecticidal properties (see Group VI).ALSO:A pesticidal composition comprises a solid or liquid carrier or diluent and an amido-phosphazide of the formula wherein R is a C1-C4 alkyl radical or wherein [(R)2N] forms a piperidine, piperazine, morpholine, thiamorpholine or pyrrolidine ring system, and R1 is a phenyl radical which may be unsubstituted or substituted by C1-C4 alkyl, halogen, nitro, chlorine and nitro, carbalk oxy, di C1-C4 alkyl-amino, or C1-C4 alkoxy group, naphthyl, or benzoyl, halo-benzoyl, C1-C4 alkyl benzoyl, nitro-benzoyl, or carbalkoxy-benzoyl (see Group IV (b)). Specified carriers or diluents are talc, chalk, bentonite, clay, water (if necessary with an emulsifier), alcohols, ketones, dimethyl formamide, and liquid hydrocarbons. The amido-phosphazides may be used in combination with each other or with known insecticides and/or fertilizers.
