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 compound having the structure of Formula One:

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

3. The compound of claim 1, wherein Het is 1,2,4-triazolyl.

4. The compound of claim 1, wherein Ar² is a phenyl.

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

6. The compound 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.

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

8. The compound 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.

9. The compound of claim 1 having a structure selected from compounds listed in Table 1

10. A process to control a pest comprising applying a compound of claim 3 to an area to control a pest in an amount sufficient to control such pest.

11. A process according to claim 10 wherein said pest is beet armyworm (BAW), cabbage looper (CL), or yellow fever mosquito (YFM).

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

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

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

15. A composition comprising a compound according to claim 1 and a seed.

16. A process of using the compound of formula I comprising applying the compound to a genetically modified plant, or genetically-modified seed, which has been genetically modified to express one or more specialized traits.

17. A process of using the compound of formula I comprising:

orally administering;

or topically applying;

the compound, to a non-human animal, to control endoparasites, ectoparasites, or both.
