Abstract

Described is a compound of the formula (1) wherein the bond between carbon atoms 22 and 23 is a single or double bond; m is 0 or 1; R₁, is C₁-C₁₂alkyl, C₃-C₈cycloalkyl or C₂-C₁₂alkenyl; and either (A) R₂ is —N(R₃)R₄, and (1) X is 0, wherein R₃ is, for instance, hydrogen, unsubstituted or mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl, and R₄ is, for instance, mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl, unsubstituted or mono- to pentasubstituted C₃-C₁₂cycloalkyl; or (2) X is S, wherein R₃ is, for instance, hydrogen, unsubstituted or mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl, and R₄ is, for instance, hydrogen, unsubstituted or mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl; or (3) X is 0 or S, wherein R₃ and R₄ together are, for instance, a three- to seven membered alkylene or a four- to seven-membered alkenylene bridge; or (B) R₂ is OR₅, X is 0 or S, wherein R₅ is, for instance, C₁-C₁₂alkyl, mono- to pentasubstituted C₁-C₁₂alkyl; or, if appropriate, an E/Z isomer, E/Z isomer mixture and/or tautomer thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form; such a compound demonstrates pesticidal activity.
