Abstract

What is described are a compound of the formula (I) Wherein A-B is —CH═CH— or —CH₂—CH₂—; n is 0 or 1; R₁, is C₁-C₁₂alkyl, C₃-C₈cycloalkyl or C₂-C₁₂alkenyl; R₂ and R₃ for instance are either, (i) independently from each other for instance -Q, —C(═Y)-Q, or —C(═Y)—O-Q; or (ii) together form with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound a three- to seven-membered ring, (iii) together are ═C(R₄)R₅; R₄ and R₅ are, independently from each other, for instance -Q, —C(═Y)-Q, or —C(═Y)—O-Q; Y is O or S; Q is for instance H or unsubstituted or mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl; or, if appropriate, an E/Z isomer, E/Z isomer mixture and/or tautomer thereof; a process for preparing these compounds, their isomers and tautomers and the use of these compounds, their isomers and tautomers; pesticidal compositions whose active compound is selected from these compounds and their tautomers; intermediates for the preparation of the said compounds of the formula (I), methods for the preparation of the compounds of the formula (I), and a method for controlling pests using these compositions

Claims
