Abstract

This disclosure relates to the field of molecules having pesticidal utility against pests in phyla Nematoda, Arthropoda, and/or Mollusca, processes to produce such molecules and intermediates used in such processes, compositions containing such molecules, and processes of using such molecules against such pests. These molecules may be used, for example, as nematicides, acaricides, insecticides, miticides, and/or molluscicides. This document discloses molecules having the structure of Formula A.

Claims

1. A molecule having the structure of Formula A:

2. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Het and L¹ are not ortho to each other, but may be meta or para, such as, for a five membered ring they are 1,3, and for a 6 membered ring they are either 1,3 or 1,4.

3. The molecule of claim 1 having the structure of Formula One:

4. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Ar¹ is a substituted phenyl having one or more substituents independently selected from OCF₃, OCF₂CF₃, and CF₃.

5. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Het is 1,2,4-triazolyl.

6. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Ar² is a phenyl.

7. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Ar² is a substituted phenyl having one or more substituents independently selected from OCF₃, OCF₂CF₃, and CF₃.

8. The molecule of claim 1, wherein R¹ and R² together form a 5-membered ring containing one or two C═

O, and such ring is optionally substituted with OH, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, C₁-C₆ alkyl, C₁-C₆ haloalkyl, C₁-C₆ alkoxy, C₁-C₆ haloalkoxy, phenyl or phenoxy.

9. The molecule of claim 1, wherein each of R³ and R⁴ is independently H, F, Cl, or a C₁-C₆ alkyl.

10. The molecule of claim 1, wherein Ar³ is a substituted phenyl with one or more OH, F, Cl, Br, I, C₁-C₆ alkyl, C₁-C₆ haloalkyl, C₁-C₆ hydroxyalkyl, C₁-C₆ alkoxy, or C₁-C₆ haloalkoxy.

11. The molecule of claim 1 having a structure selected from compounds listed in Table 1

12. A process to apply a molecule according to claim 1 comprising, applying a molecule according to claim 1, to an area to control a pest, in an amount sufficient to control such pest.

13. A process according to claim 12 wherein said pest is beet armyworm (BAW), cabbage looper (CL), or yellow fever mosquito (YFM).

14. A molecule that is a pesticidally acceptable acid addition salt, a salt derivative, a solvate, or an ester derivative, of a molecule according to claim 1.

15. A molecule according to claim 1 wherein at least one H is ²H or at least one C is ¹⁴C.

16. A composition comprising a molecule according to claim 1 and at least one other compound having insecticidal, herbicidal, acaricidal, nematicidal, or fungicidal activity.

17. A composition comprising a molecule according to claim 1 and a seed.

18. A process comprising applying a molecule according to claim 1 to a genetically modified plant, or genetically-modified seed, which has been genetically modified to express one or more specialized traits.

19. A process comprising:

orally administering;

or topically applying;

a molecule according to claim 1, to a non-human animal, to control endoparasites, ectoparasites, or both.
