Abstract

The present invention relates to bis-amide derivatives as defined by the compound of formula (I), to processes and intermediates for preparing them, to methods of using them to control insect, acarine, nematode and mollusc pests, and to insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal and molluscicidal compositions comprising them.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compound of formula (I)

wherein
Y is chlorine, bromine, iodine, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
X 1 is methoxy and X 2 is hydrogen, or
X 2 is cyano and X 1 is hydrogen,
R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl
Q is a group selected from Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5, where
Q1 is a group of formula (IIa)

Where the substituents W1 are independently selected from, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
n1 is 0, 1 or 2
Q2 is a group of formula (IIb)

Where W 2 is selected from, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
Q3 is a group of formula (IIc)

Where W 3 is selected from, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
Q4 is a group of formula (IId)

Where W 4 is selected, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
Q5 is a group of formula (IIe)

Where W 5 is selected from hydrogen, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy,
or an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof.

2. A compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein Q is a group selected from Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5, where
Q1 is a group of formula (IIa)

where the substituents W 1 is cyano,
and n1 is 1
Q2 is a group of formula (IIb)

where W 2 is hydrogen,
Q3 is a group of formula (IIc)

where W 3 is hydrogen,
Q4 is a group of formula (IId)

where W 4 is hydrogen
Q5 is a group of formula (IIe)

where W 5 is hydrogen.

3. A compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl.

4. A compound of formula (I) according to claim 1 wherein X 1 is methoxy and X 2 is hydrogen.

5. A compound of formula (I) according to claim 4 wherein X 2 is cyano and X 1 is hydrogen.

6. A compound of formula (III)

where Y is chlorine, bromine, iodine, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl or C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy.

7. A method of controlling insects, acarines, nematodes or molluscs which comprises applying to a pest, to a locus of a pest, or to a plant susceptible to attack by a pest an insecticidally, acaricidally, nematicidally or molluscicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) as defined in claim 1 .

8. An insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal or molluscicidal composition comprising an insecticidally, acaricidally, nematicidally or molluscicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) as defined in claim 1 together with an agrochemically acceptable diluent or carrier.

9. A composition according to claim 8 which further comprises one or more additional insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal or molluscicidal compounds.

10. A method of protecting useful plants from insects, acarines, nematodes or molluscs, comprising applying to said plants, to the locus thereof, or to plant propagation material thereof, an insecticidally, acaricidally, nematicidally or molluscicidally effective amount of a compound of formula I in claim 1 .
