International Patent Publication No. WO 87/03781 and European Patent Publication No. 295117, 154115, 201852 describe insecticidal 1-(substituted phenyl)pyrazoles. Other prior art is also found in the text of these patent applications or the patents issued therefrom.
International Patent Publications No. WO 93/06089 and WO 94/21606 also describe insecticidal 1-(4-SF.sub.5 substituted phenyl) heterocycles which may be pyrroles as well as imidazoles or pyrazoles. The teaching of these patents is not substantially different from International Patent Publication No. WO 87/03781 or from European Patent Publication No. 0295117 as far as pyrazoles are concerned.
It is an object of the present invention to provide new pesticidal compounds of the 1-arylpyrazole family together with processes for their preparation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide pesticidal compositions and pesticidal methods of use of the pesticidal pyrazole compounds against arthropods, especially insects, particularly in agricultural or horticultural crops, forestry, veterinary medicine or livestock husbandry, or in public health.
A third object of the present invention is to provide very active compounds with broad spectrum pesticidal activity, as well as compounds with selective special activity, e.g., aphicidal, miticidal, foliar insecticidal, soil insecticidal, systemic, antifeeding or pesticidal activity via seed treatment.
A fourth object of the present invention is to provide compounds with substantially enhanced and more rapid activity, especially against insects and more particularly insects in their larval stages.
A fifth objective of the present invention is to provide compounds with greatly improved (faster and greater) penetration into pest species when topically applied and to thus provide enhanced movement of the compounds to the pesticidal site(s) of action within the pest.
These and other objectives of the invention are met in whole or part and shall become readily apparent from the description of the present invention which follows.
The invention thus relates to compounds having the general formula (I): ##STR2##

In the present invention, some words are used in a specific sense:
The term "lower alkyl-S(O).sub.n " means a radical of the formula --S(O).sub.n -- lower alkyl. The term "R.sub.10 S(O).sub.n " means a radical of the formula --S(O).sub.n R.sub.10. The term "aminocarbonyl" means a carbamoyl radical, that is, a radical of the formula --C(O)NH.sub.2. Similarly, the term "alkylaminocarbonyl" means an .[.alkylcarbomoyl.]. .Iadd.alkylcarbamoyl .Iaddend.radical, that is, a radical of the formula --C(O)--NH-alkyl; and the term "dialkylaminocarbonyl" means a dialkylcarbamoyl radical, that is, a radical of the formula --C(O)--N(alkyl).sub.2 in which the alkyl moieties can be the same or different. The term "aminosulfonyl" means a sulfamoyl radical, that is, --SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2. Similarly, the term "alkylaminosulfonyl" means an alkylsulfamoyl radical, that is, a radical of the formula --SO.sub.2 NH-alkyl; while the term "dialkylaminosulfonyl" means a dialkylsulfamoyl radical, which has the formula --SO.sub.2 N(alkyl).sub.2 wherein the alkyl moieties can be the same or different.
The term "halo" before the name of a radical means that this radical is partially or completely halogenated, that is to say, substituted by F, Cl, Br, or I, in any combination, preferably by F or Cl. The term "halogen" means F, Cl, Br or I. The term "lower" before the name of a radical having a carbon skeleton means that this carbon skeleton has less than 6 carbon atoms. When the name of any substituent is repeated, it keeps the same meaning unless otherwise specified. The term "aryl" designates a carbon and/or heteroatom-containing aromatic radical which is preferably phenyl optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from halogen, methyl and methoxy, especially phenyl, halophenyl, tolyl or xylyl.

The present invention provides also a method for controlling pests at a locus comprising applying to said locus a pesticidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I), or a pesticidal composition comprising a pesticidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) and a pesticidally acceptable carrier therefor. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method for controlling insects at a locus comprising applying to said locus an insecticidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I), or an insecticidally effective amount of an insecticidal composition comprising an insecticidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) and an agriculturally acceptable inert carrier therefor. Preferably, the locus to which the pesticidally (especially insecticidally) effective amount is applied is a crop-growing area, that is, an area in which a crop is growing or in which a crop has been planted, or an area in which a crop will be planted/grown.
The compositions which can be used in the invention for the pesticidal/insecticidal treatment of the invention can comprise from about 0.001 to 95% of the compound of formula (I).
The diluted liquid formulations, as applied to the locus to be treated or crop, generally comprise from about 0.001 to about 3% of active ingredient of formula (I), preferably from about 0.1 to about 0.5%.
The solid formulations as applied to the locus or crop generally comprise from about 0.1 to about 8% of active ingredient of formula (I), preferably from about 0.5 to about 1.5%.
The concentrated compositions are the compositions which are commercialized or transported or stored. For application to plants, they are normally diluted in water and applied in such diluted form. The diluted forms are part of the invention as well as the concentrated forms.
The concentrated formulations generally comprise from about 5 to about 95% of active ingredient of formula (I), preferably from about 10 to about 50%.
The insecticidal compositions of the invention can be applied once, or more than once, throughout the whole insect season. Insecticidal compositions according to the invention are usually applied to the locus to be treated or crop area at a rate of from about 0.01 to about 2 kg/ha of active ingredient, preferably from about 0.1 to about 1 kg/ha.
The concentrated insecticidal compositions according to the invention can be in the form of a solid, e.g., dusts or granules or wettable powders, or, preferably, in the form of a liquid, such as an emulsifiable concentrate or a true solution.
The compositions according to the instant invention generally comprise from about 0.5 to about 95% of active ingredient of formula (I). The remainder of the composition up to 100% comprises a carrier as well as various additives such as those hereafter indicated.
By "carrier", there is meant herein an organic or inorganic material, which can be natural or synthetic, and which is associated with the active ingredient and which facilitates its application to the locus to be treated or crop. This carrier is thus generally inert and should be agriculturally acceptable, especially on the contemplated or treated locus or crop. The carrier can be solid (clay, silicates, silica, resins, wax, fertilizers, etc.) or liquid (water, alcohols, ketones, oil solvents, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, liquified petroleum gas, etc.).
Among the many additives, the compositions of the invention can comprise surfactants as well as other ingredients such as dispersants, stickers, antifoam agents, anti-freezing agents, dyestuffs, thickeners, adhesives, protective colloids, penetrating agents, stabilizing agents, sequestering agents, antiflocculating agents, corrosion inhibitors, pigments and polymers.
More generally, the compositions of the invention can comprise all kinds of solid or liquid additives which are known in the art of insecticides and insecticidal treatments.
The surfactants can be of the emulsifying or wetting type, ionic or non-ionic. Possible surfactants are salts of polyacrylic or lignosulfonic acids; salts of phenolsulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acids; polycondensates of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols or fatty acids or fatty amines or substituted phenols (particularly alkylphenols or arylphenols); ester-salts of sulfosuccinic acids; taurine derivatives, such as alkyl taurates; phosphoric esters; or esters of alcohols or polyoxyethylated phenols. When the spraying vehicle is water, the use of at least one surfactant is generally required because the active ingredients are not water-soluble.
The method of application of the compositions of the invention is generally the spraying of a mixture which has been previously made, by dilution of more concentrated formulations according to the invention.
Solid compositions can be powders for dusting or for dispersion (wherein the content of active ingredient can be up to 100%) and granules, especially extruded or compacted granules, or granules which have been made by impregnation of a powder (the content of active ingredient in such powders being between about 1 and about 80%).
Liquid compositions of compositions which have to be liquid when applied include solutions, water-soluble concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, wettable powders or pastes or water-dispersible granules.
Emulsifiable concentrates generally comprise from about 10 to about 80% of active ingredient; the emulsions when applied generally comprise from about 0.01 to about 20% of active ingredient.
For example, the emulsifiable concentrates can comprise the solvent and, to the extent needed, from about 2 to about 20% of suitable additives such as stabilizers, surfactants, penetrating agents, corrosion inhibitors or other additives already recited.
These concentrates are usually diluted in tank water so as to obtain the dilution appropriate for spraying.
The concentrated suspensions can also be applied by spraying and have to be fluid without allowing any solid to separate and fall to the bottom. Generally they comprise from about 1 to about 75% of active ingredient (preferably from about 2 to about 50%), from about 0.5 to about 15% of surfactant, from about 0.1 to about 10% of thickener, from 0 to about 10% of other suitable additives as already indicated, the remainder being water or an organic liquid wherein the active ingredient is insoluble or has a low solubility.
The wettable powders generally comprise the active ingredient (from about 1 to about 95%, preferably from about 2 to about 80%), the solid carrier, a wetting agent (from 0 to about 5%), a dispersing agent (from about 3 to about 10%) and, to the extent needed, from 0 to about 10% of other additives such as stabilizers and others as already listed.
In order to obtain these wettable powders or dusting powders, it is appropriate to intimately mix the active ingredients and the additives, as by grinding in a mill or similar device.
Dispersible granules are generally made by agglomeration of a powder, followed by an appropriate granulation process.
The emulsions herein described can be of the oil-in-water or water-in-oil types. Fluidity of the emulsions can range from low viscosities up to high viscosities approaching those of gels.
Among these many compositions or formulations, one skilled in the art can choose the one most appropriate, according to the specific conditions of the treatment problem.
The compounds and compositions of the invention can also be used in admixtures with another pesticide, e.g., an insecticide, acaricide or herbicide.
The compounds of the invention may also be used in controlling pests found in non-agricultural domains.

Compositions
Solid or liquid compositions for application topically to animals, timber, stored products or household goods usually contain from about 0.00005% to about 90%, more particularly from about 0.001% to about 10%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). For administration to animals orally or parenterally, including percutaneously solid or liquid compositions, these normally contain from about 0.1% to about 90% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Medicated feedstuffs normally contain from about 0.001% to about 3% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Concentrates or supplements for mixing with feedstuffs normally contain from about 5% to about 90%, preferably from about 5% to about 50%, by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Mineral salt licks normally contain from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of one or more compounds of general formula (I).
Dusts or liquid compositions for application to livestock, persons, goods, premises or outdoor areas may contain from about 0.0001% to about 15%, more especially from about 0.005% to about 2.0%, by weight, of one or more compounds of general formula (I). Suitable concentrations in treated waters are between about 0.0001 ppm and about 20 ppm, more particularly about 0.001 ppm to about 5.0 ppm of one or more compounds of general formula (I) and may be used therapeutically in fish farming with appropriate exposure times.

The following methods were used to apply the compounds of the invention and to observe the results obtained therewith: a foliar/contact spray on sucking (aphids) or chewing (Lepidoptera) insects.
The species tested were as follows:
GENUS, SPECIES COMMON NAME Aphis gossypii cotton leaf aphid Musca domestica housefly Diabrotica virgifera Western cornrootworm Periplaneta americana American Cockroaches Spodoptera eridania Southern armyworm
The Housefly Bait/Contact Test
About 25 four to six-day-old adult houseflies were anesthetized and placed in a cage with a sugar water bait solution containing the compound. The concentration of the selected compound of formula (I) in the bait solution was 50 ppm. After 24 hours, flies which showed no movement on stimulation were considered dead.
Foliar application (Contact Test) with Aphids
Aphid-infested cotton plants were placed on a revolving turntable, and sprayed to runoff with a 100 ppm formulation of the selected compound of formula (I). The treated, A. gossypii-infested plants were held for three days after treatment, after which the dead aphids were counted.
Application on Western cornrootworm
Jars are filled with 60 g dry soil homogeneously mixed with 5 ml aqueous solution containing the compound to be tested. After drying, four germinated corn seedlings are placed in the bottom of each jar and the soil is wetted. Then ten newly born larvae are placed in each jar. The jars are stored for six days at 27.degree. C. under 70% of relative humidity. The number of surviving larvae are then counted.
Application by contact to Cockroaches
The inner wall of a 100 ml jar is covered by shaking 2 ml of pesticidal formulation. Furthermore, a pellet of dog chow is placed into a jar and the pesticidal formulation is absorbed on the pellet, using excess liquid. The jar is then left open up to evaporation of liquid. Cockroach nymphs are placed in the jar and mortality is assessed after five days.
Application to Southern armyworm
Leaves of soybeans were sprayed to run-off with a spray of various concentrations. Then the leaves were allowed to dry, excised, and placed into a container with five larvae. The containers are stored for five days at 25.degree. C. under 50% relative humidity. Mortality ratings are then counted.
Application to Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode worm)
This test is significant for animal health applications of active ingredient.
Test formulation are prepared by mixing 2 microliters of dimethylsulfoxide with 100 microliters of a solution of Escherichia coli (which is food for C. elegans). 98 microliters of this mixture are then mixed with an inoculum solution which consists of mixed life stages of C. elegans (about 50 worms). This new mixture is stored 7 days at 20.degree. C. Mortality is then visually assessed as well as the behavior of the worm. For the mortality, the rating is either 1 (large increase in number of the population, similar to the control which is trebbling in 7 days) or 3 (slight increase of the population, but significantly less increase than the control) or 5 (little to no increase in the population). For the behavior effect, the rating is either 1 (normal motion) or 3 (motion is slower than the control) or 5 (little to no movement).
All the hereinabove prepared compounds show a positive activity in one or more of these tests (rather good activity on C. elegans).
