When a compound is substituted with a substituent bearing a subscript that indicates the number of said substituents can exceed 1, said substituents (when they exceed 1) are independently selected from the group of defined substituents, e.g., (R2)n, n is 1 or 2. When a group contains a substituent which can be hydrogen, for example R2, then when this substituent is taken as -hydrogen, it is recognized that this is equivalent to said group being unsubstituted.
"Aromatic" indicates that each of the ring atoms is essentially in the same plane and has ap-orbital perpendicular to the ring plane, and in which (4n + 2) π electrons, where n is a positive integer, are associated with the ring to comply with Hϋckel's rule.
The terms "heterocyclic ring" or "heterocycle" denote a ring in which at least one atom forming the ring backbone is not carbon, e.g., nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. Typically a heterocyclic ring contains no more than 4 nitrogens, no more than 2 oxygens and no more than 2 sulfurs. Unless otherwise indicated, a heterocyclic ring can be a saturated, partially unsaturated, or fully unsaturated ring. When a fully unsaturated heterocyclic ring satisfies
Hϋckel's rule, then said ring is also called a "heteroarorαatϊc ring", "aromatic heterocyclic ring". Unless otherwise indicated, heterocyclic rings and ring systems can be attached through any available carbon or nitrogen by replacement of a hydrogen on said carbon or nitrogen.
The term "optionally substituted" in connection with the heterocyclic rings refers to groups which are unsubstituted or have at least one non-hydrogen substituent that does not extinguish the biological activity possessed by the unsubstituted analog. As used herein, the following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated. The term "optionally substituted" is used interchangeably with the phrase "substituted or unsubstituted" or with the term "(un)substituted." Unless otherwise indicated, an optionally substituted group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and each substitution is independent of the other.
When Q is a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring, it may be attached to the remainder of Formula 1 though any available carbon or nitrogen ring atom, unless otherwise described. Similarly, when Q1 is a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle, it may be attached through any available carbon or nitrogen ring atom, unless otherwise described.
As noted above, Q or Q1 can be (among others) phenyl optionally substituted, with one or more .substituents selected from a group of substituents as defined in the Summary of
Invention. An example of phenyl optionally substituted with one to five substituents is the v ring illustrated as U-I in Exhibit 1, wherein R is selected from a group of substituents as defined in the Summary of the Invention for Q or Q1 and r is an integer from 0 to 5. As noted above, Q or Q1 can be (among others) 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, which may be saturated or unsaturated, optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from a group of substituents as defined in the Summary of Invention. Examples of a 5- or 6-membered unsaturated aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally substituted with from one or more substituents include the rings U-2 through U-61 illustrated in Exhibit 1 wherein R is any substituent as defined in the Summary of the Invention for Q or Q1 and r is an integer from 0 to 4, limited by the number of available positions on each U group. As U-29,- U-30, U-36, U-37, U-38, U-39, U-40, U-41, U-42 and U-43 have only one available position, for these U groups r is limited to the integers 0 or 1, and r being 0 means that the U v group is unsubstituted and a hydrogen is present at the position indicated by (R )r.

V
Although R groups are shown in the structures U-I through U-61, it is noted that they v do not need to be present since they are optional substituents. Note that when R is H and- attached to an atom, this is the same as if said atom is unsubstituted. The nitrogen atoms that require substitution to fill their valence are substituted with H or R . Note that when the
V ' V attachment point between (R )r and the U group is illustrated as floating, (R )r can be attached to any available carbon atom or nitrogen atom of the U group. Note that when the attachment point on the U group is illustrated as floating, the U group can be attached to the remainder of Formula 1 through any available carbon or nitrogen of the U group by replacement of a hydrogen atom. Note that some U groups can only be substituted with less than 4 RV groups (e.g., U-2 through U-5. U-7 through U-48, and,U-52 through U-61).
Note that when Q or Q1 is a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group of substituents as defined in the Summary of Invention for Q or Q1, one or two carbon πng members of the heterocycle can optionally be in the oxidized form of a carbonyl moiety. Examples of a 5- or 6-membered saturated or non-aromatic unsaturated heterocyclic πng include the πngs G-I through G-35 as illustrated m Exhibit 2. Note that when the attachment point on the G group is illustrated as floating, the G group can be attached to the remainder of Formula 1 through any available carbon or nitrogen of the G group by
V replacement of a hydrogen atom. The optional substituents corresponding to R can be attached to any available carbon or nitrogen by replacing a hydrogen atom. For these G rings, r is typically an integer from 0 to 4, limited by the number available positions on each G group.
Note that when Q or Q1 comprises a ring selected from G-28 through G-35, G2 is selected from O, S or N. Note that when G2 is N, the nitrogen atom can complete its valence by substitution with either H or the substituents as defined m the Summary of Invention for Q or Ql.

A wide variety of synthetic methods are known in the art to enable preparation of aromatic and nonaromatic heterocyclic rings; for extensive reviews see the eight volume set of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, A. R. Katritzky and C. W. Rees editors-in-chief, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1984 and the twelve volume set of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry II, A. R. Katritzky, C. W. Rees and E. F. V. Scriven editors-in-chief, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1996.
Compounds of this invention can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric isomers. One skilled in the art will appreciate that one stereoisomer may be more active and/or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s) or when separated from the other stereoisomer(s). Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. The compounds of the invention may be present as a mixture of stereoisomers, individual stereoisomers, or as an optically active form.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that not all nitrogen containing heterocyclic rings can form /V-oxides since the nitrogen requires an available lone pair for oxidation to the oxide; one skilled in the art will recognize those nitrogen containing heterocyclic rings which can form /V~oxides. One skilled in the art will also recognize that tertiary amines can form //-oxides. Synthetic methods for the preparation of iV-oxides of heterocyclic rings and tertiary amines are very well known by one skilled in the art including the oxidation of heterocyclic rings and tertiary amines with peroxy acids such as peracetic and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides such as f-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium perborate, and dioxiranes such as dimethyl dioxirane These methods for the preparation of iV-oxides have been extensively described and reviewed m the literature, see for example- T. L. Gilchrist m Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, vol. 7, pp 748-750, S V. Ley, Ed , Pergamon Press; M Tisler and B Stanovnik m Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol 3, pp 18-20, A J. Boulton and A McKillop, Eds , Pergamon Press; M R Gnmmett and B. R. T. Keene m Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 43, pp 149-161, A R Katntzky, Ed., Academic Press; M. Tisler and B Stanovnik in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 9, pp 285-291, A. R. Katntzky and A. J Boulton, Eds., Academic Press; and G W. H. Cheeseman and E. S G. Werstmk m Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 22, pp 390-392, A. R. Katntzky and A J Boulton, Eds., Academic Press.
One skilled m the art recognizes that because m the environment and under physiological conditions salts of chemical compounds are in equilibrium with their corresponding nonsalt forms, salts share the biological utility of the nonsalt forms. Thus a wide variety of salts of the compounds of Formula 1 are useful for control of invertebrate pests (i.e. are agriculturally suitable). The salts of the compounds of Formula 1 include acid-addition salts with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrobromic, hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, acetic, butyric, fumaric, lactic, maleic, malonic, oxalic, propionic, salicylic, tartaric, 4-toluenesulfonic "or valeric acids. When a compound of Formula 1 contains an acidic moiety such as a carboxylic acid or phenol, salts also include those formed with organic or inorganic bases such as pyridine, triethylamine or ammonia, or amides, hydrides, hydroxides or carbonates of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium or barium.

Compounds of Formula 1 can be prepared by one or more of the following methods and variations as described in Schemes 1-8." The definitions of R1, R2, R3, R25, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, n, p and Q in the compounds of Formulae 1—10 below are as defined above for Formula 1 in the Summary of the Invention. Compounds of Formulae Ia and Ib are subsets of compounds of Formula 1. Compounds of Formula 2a are a subset of compounds of Formula 2. Compounds of Formula 1 can be prepared by the cycloaddition of compounds of
Formula 2 with nitrile oxides derived from oximes of Formula 3 as outlined in Scheme 1. The reaction typically proceeds through the intermediacy of an in situ generated hydroxamyl chloride. In a typical procedure a chlorinating reagent such as sodium hypochlorite, N-chlorosuccinimide, or chloramine-T is combined with the oxime in the presence of the styrene. Depending on the conditions amine bases such as pyridine or triethylamine may be necessary. The reaction can be run in a wide variety of solvents including tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methylene chloride, dioxane, and toluene with optimum temperatures ranging from room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Example 1, Step B illustrates a typical procedure for this reaction. General procedures for cycloaddition of rutxile oxides with olefins are well documented in the chemical literature. For relevant references see Lee, Synthesis, 1982, 6, 508-509 and Kanemasa et al., Tetrahedron, 2000, 56, 1057-1064 as well as references cited within.
Scheme 1
Figure imgf000031_0001
Compounds of Formula 1, wherein Q is a 5-membered TV-linked heterocyclic πng can also be prepared by direct displacement of an aromatic halide of Formula 4 wherein Y is Br or F with an azole heterocyclic ring of Formula 5 as shown m Scheme 2. Typical azole heterocyclic rings of Formula 5 include optionally substituted pyrazoles, imidazoles, triazoles and tetrazoles. Bromides can be displaced with the use of copper iodide and a palladium catalyst, see for example Kanemasa et al., European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2004, 695-709. For direct fluorine displacement the reaction is typically run in a polar aprotic solvent such as 7Y,7y-dimethylformamide or /V,/Y-dimethylacetamide and in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium or potassium carbonate. Example 2, Step C illustrates a typical procedure for this type of reaction.
Scheme 2
Figure imgf000031_0002
An alternate preparation for the compounds of Formula 1 wherein Q is a phenyl or aromatic heterocyclic ring includes the well known Suzuki reaction via Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of an aromatic iodide or bromide of Formula 4 wherein Y is Br or I with an aryl or heteroaryl boronic acid of Formula 6 (Scheme 3). Many catalysts are useful for this type of transformation; a typical catalyst is tetr-ύάs(triphenylphosphine)palladiurn(0). Solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, diethyl ether and dioxane are suitable. The boronic acids of Formula 6 are either commercially available or can be prepared by known methods. Other methods including the Heck, Stille, Kumada and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling procedures offer many alternatives for introduction of Q heterocyclic groups. For leading references see for example Zificsak, Craig A and Hlasta, Dennis J., Tetrahedron, 2004, 60, 8991-9016.

Figure imgf000032_0002
A wide variety of alternate methods exist for the preparation of heterocyclic Q groups found in Formula 1. These can be prepared from well documented functional group transformations of ketones, esters, acids, aldehydes, nitriles and the like. For leading references see Tanaka et al., J. Med Chem, 1998, 41, 2390-2410 and references cited within.
An especially useful group of styrenes for the synthesis of compounds of Formula 1 are represented by Formula 2a as shown in Scheme 5. These intermediates can be prepared by the palladium-catalyzed coupling of commercially available 2-bromo-3,3,3- trifluoropropene (Formula 8) with aryl boronic acids of Formula 9. General procedures for this reaction are documented in the chemical literature, see Pan et al., /. Fluorine Chemistry, 1999, 95, 167-170. A typical procedure using modified conditions is described in Example 1, Step A.

5 Compounds of Formula 1, wherein Q is S(O^NR21R22 can be prepared in three steps by direct displacement of an aromatic halide of Formula 4 wherein Y is Cl, Br or F with a mercaptan such as benzylmercaptan, followed by oxidation to the sulfonyl chloride and subsequent conversion to the sulfonamide by reaction with an amine (Scheme 6). Typical displacement reactions involve treatment of the aromatic halide of Formula 4 with the
10. mercaptan in a polar aprotic solvent such as such as N,N-dimethylformarnide or N,N- dimethylacetamide and in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium, potassium or cesium carbonate. Oxidation of the benzyl thioether intermediate to the corresponding sulfonyl chloride is readily accomplished with 5% sodium hypochlorite (commercial bleach) in solvents such as methylene chloride or chloroform. Conversion to the sulfonamide is
15 accomplished by known literature procedures involving treatment of the sulfonyl chloride with a amine (HNR21R22) in the presence of an acid scavenger such as pyridine, triethylamine or other amine bases. In certain instances it may be convenient to use excess amine as both the nucleophile and acid scavenger. Example 4 illustrates a typical procedure for preparing compounds of Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O^NR21R22. 0
Figure imgf000033_0002
Compounds of Formula Ia (i.e. Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O)pR25 and p is 0) can be prepared by direct displacement of an aromatic halide of Formula 4 wherein Y is Cl, Br or F with a mercaptan or its alkali metal salt, such as methylmercaptan or sodium thiomethoxide. 5 Oxidation of the thioether group of Formula Ia to the sulfinyl or sulfonyl group (i.e. Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O)pR25 and p is 1 or 2) can be accomplished by methods very familiar to one skilled in the art (Scheme 7). Typical displacement reaction involves treatment of the aromatic halide of Formula 4 with the mercaptan in a polar aprotic solvent such as ZV,N-dimethylforrnarnide or Λ^ΪV-dimethylacetamide and in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium, potassium or cesium carbonate, or by use of a salt of the mercaptan (as shown in Scheme 7). The mercaptan salt is either commercially available or can be prepared separately by treatment of the mercaptan with a strong base such as sodium hydride. Oxidation of the thioether compounds of Formula Ia to the sulfmyl or sulfonyl compounds of Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O)pR25 and p is 1 or 2 is readily accomplished by reaction with sodium metaperiodate or Oxone" (potassium peroxymonosulfate) m solvents such as water or alcohols, or 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) in solvents such as methylene chloride or chloroform.
Figure imgf000034_0001
Alternatively, compounds of Formula Ia can be prepared by metal-halogen exchange of an aromatic halide of Formula 4 wherein Y is Br or I with n-BuLi, followed by reaction with a sulfur-containing reagent (e.g., ethyl disulfide or methyl methanethiolsulfonate). Compounds of Formula Ia can also be prepared by transition metal-catalyzed reaction of an aromatic halide or trifluoromethanesulfonate of Formula 4 wherein Y is Br, I or OSO2CF3 with a mercaptan salt such as triisopropylsilylmercaptan sodium salt, or sodium sulfonate, followed by alkylating with a halide such as I-R25 in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst such as tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride. Example 5 illustrates typical procedure for preparing compounds of Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O)pR25 and p is 0. Examples 6 and 7 illustrate typical procedures for preparing compounds of Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O )pR25 and p is 2. Compounds of Formula Ib ( i.e. Formula 1 wherein Q is S(O)pR25 and p is 2) can be prepared by treatment of a sulfonyl chloride of Formula 10 with reducing reagents as sodium sulfite (Na2SO3), followed by treatment of the resulting sulfonate salt with an alkylating agent and base to afford the sulfone of Formula Ib. • Scheme 8

Sulfonyl chlorides of Formula 10 can -be prepared by the reactions illustrated in Scheme 6 involving direct displacement of an aryl halide of Formula 4 with a mercaptan such as benzylmercaptan followed by oxidation to the sulfonyl chloride.
Compounds of Formula 4 can be prepared analogously by the methods described for compounds of Formula 1 in Scheme 1.
It is -recognized that some reagents and reaction conditions described above for preparing compounds of Formula 1 may not be compatible with certain functionalities present in the intermediates. In these instances, the incorporation of protection/deprotection sequences or functional group interconversions into the synthesis will aid in obtaining the desired products. The use and choice of the protecting groups will be apparent to one skilled in chemical synthesis (see, for example, Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991). One skilled in the art will recognize that, in some cases, after the introduction of a given reagent as it is depicted in any individual scheme, it may be necessary to perform additional routine synthetic steps not described in detail to complete the synthesis of compounds of Formula 1. One skilled in the art will also recognize that it may be necessary to perform a combination of the steps illustrated in the above schemes in an order other than that implied by the particular sequence presented to prepare the compounds of Formula 1.
One skilled in the art will also recognize that compounds of Formula 1 and the intermediates described herein can be subjected to various electrophilic, nucleophilic, radical, organometallic, oxidation, and reduction reactions to add substituents or modify existing substituents Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art using the preceding description can utilize the present invention to its fullest extent.

Formulation/Utility
A compound of this invention will generally be used as an invertebrate pest control active ingredient in a composition, i.e. formulation, with at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of surfactants, solid diluents and liquid diluents, which serves as a carrier. The formulation or composition ingredients are selected to be consistent with the physical properties of the active ingredient, mode of application and environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature.
Useful formulations include both liquid and solid compositions. Liquid compositions include solutions (including emulsifiable concentrates), suspensions, emulsions (including microemulsions and/or suspoemulsions) and the like, which optionally can be thickened into gels. The general types of aqueous liquid compositions are soluble concentrate, suspension concentrate, capsule suspension, concentrated emulsion, microemulsion and suspo-emulsion. The general types of nonaqueous liquid compositions are emulsifiable concentrate, microemulsifiable concentrate, dispersible concentrate and oil dispersion. The general types of solid compositions are dusts, powders, granules, pellets, prills, pastilles, tablets, filled films (including seed coatings) and the like, which can be water-dispersible ("wettable") or water-soluble. Films and coatings formed from film- forming solutions or flowable suspensions are particularly useful for seed treatment. Active ingredients can be (microencapsulated and further formed into a suspension or solid formulation; alternatively the entire formulation of active ingredient can be encapsulated (or "overcoated"). Encapsulation can control or delay release of the active ingredient. An emulsifiable granule combines the advantages of both an emulsifiable concentrate formulation and a dry granular formulation. High-strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation.
Sprayable formulations are typically extended in a suitable medium before spraying. Such liquid and solid formulations are formulated to be readily diluted in the spray medium, usually water. Spray volumes can range from about from about one to several thousand liters per hectare, but more typically are in the range from about ten to several hundred liters per hectare. Sprayable formulations can be tank mixed with water or another suitable medium for foliar treatment by aerial or ground application, or for application to the growing medium of the plant. Liquid and dry formulations can be metered directly into drip irrigation systems or metered into the furrow during planting. Liquid and solid formulations can be applied onto seeds of crops and other desirable vegetation as seed treatments before planting to protect developing roots and other subterranean plant parts and/or foliage through systemic uptake.
The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100 percent by weight.

Typical liquid diluents are described in Marsden, Solvents Guide, 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950.
The solid and liquid compositions of the present invention often include one or more surfactants. When added to a liquid, surfactants (also known as "surface-active agents") generally modify, most often reduce, the surface tension of the liquid. Depending on the nature of the hydrophilic and lipophilic groups in a surfactant molecule, surfactants can be useful as wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers or defoaming agents.
Surfactants can be classified as nonionic, anionic or cationic. Nonionic surfactants useful for the present compositions include, but are not limited to: alcohol alkoxylates such as alcohol alkoxylates based on natural and synthetic alcohols (which may be branched or linear) and prepared from the alcohols and ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof; amine ethoxylates, alkanolamides and ethoxylated alkanolamides; alkoxylated triglycerides such as ethoxylated soybean, castor and rapeseed oils; alkylphenol alkoxylates such as octylphenol ethoxylates, nonylphenol ethoxylates, dinonyl phenol ethoxylates and dodecyl phenol ethoxylates (prepared from the phenols and ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof); block polymers prepared from ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and reverse block polymers where the terminal blocks are prepared from propylene oxide; ethoxylated fatty acids; ethoxylated fatty esters and oils; ethoxylated methyl esters; ethoxylated tristyrylphenol (including those prepared from ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or mixtures thereof); fatty acid esters, glycerol esters, lanolin-based derivatives, polyethoxylate esters such as polyethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyethoxylated sorbitol fatty acid esters and polyethoxylated glycerol fatty acid esters; other sorbitan derivatives such as sorbitan esters; polymeric surfactants such as random copolymers, block copolymers, alkyd peg (polyethylene glycol) resins, graft or comb polymers and star polymers; polyethylene glycols (pegs); polyethylene glycol fatty acid esters; silicone-based surfactants; and sugar-derivatives such as sucrose esters, alkyl polyglycosides and alkyl polysaccharides.

Also useful for the present compositions are mixtures" of nonionic and anionic surfactants or mixtures of nonionic and cationic surfactants. Nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants and their recommended uses are disclosed in a variety of published references including McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents, annual American and International Editions published by McCutcheon's Division, The Manufacturing Confectioner Publishing Co.; Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents, Chemical Publ. Co., Inc., New York, 1964; and A. S. Davidson and B. Milwidsky, Synthetic Detergents, Seventh Edition, John Wiley and Sons, New'York, 1987. Compositions of this invention may also contain formulation auxiliaries and additives, known to those skilled in the art as formulation aids (some of which may be considered to also function as solid diluents, liquid diluents or surfactants). Such formulation auxiliaries and additives may control: pH (buffers), foaming during processing (antifoams such polyorganosiloxanes), sedimentation of active ingredients (suspending agents), viscosity (thixotropic thickeners), in-container microbial growth (antimicrobials), product freezing (antifreezes), color (dyes/pigment dispersions), wash-off (film formers or stickers), evaporation (evaporation retardahts), and other formulation attributes. Film formers include, for example, polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl acetate copolymers, pol-yvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers and waxes. Examples of formulation auxiliaries and additives include those listed in McCutcheon's Volume 2: Functional Materials, annual International and North American editions published by McCutcheon's Division, The Manufacturing Confectioner Publishing Co.; and PCT Publication WO 03/024222. The compound of Formula 1 and any other active ingredients are typically incorporated into the present compositions by dissolving the active ingredient in a solvent or by grinding in a liquid or dry diluent. Solutions, including' emulsifi able concentrates, can be prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. If the solvent of a liquid composition intended for use as an emulsifiable concentrate is water-immiscible, an emulsifier is typically added to emulsify the active-containing solvent upon dilution with water. Active ingredient slurries, with particle diameters of up to 2,000 μm can be wet milled using media mills to obtain particles with average diameters below 3 μm. Aqueous slurries can be made into finished suspension concentrates (see, for example, U.S. 3,060,084) or further processed by spray drying to form water-dispersible granules. Dry formulations usually require dry milling processes, which produce average particle diameters in the 2 to 10 μm range. Dusts and powders can be prepared by blending and usually grinding (such as with a hammer mill or fluid-energy mill). Granules and pellets can be prepared by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. .

Compounds of this invention exhibit activity against a wide spectrum of invertebrate pests. These pests include invertebrates inhabiting a variety of environments such as, for example, plant foliage, roots, soil, harvested crops or other foodstuffs, building structures or animal integuments. These pests include, for example, invertebrates feeding on foliage (including leaves, stems, flowers and fruits), seeds, wood, textile fibers or animal blood or tissues, and thereby causing injury or damage to, for example, growing or stored agronomic crops, forests, greenhouse crops, ornamentals, nursery crops, stored foodstuffs or fiber products, or houses or other structures or their contents, or being harmful to animal health or public health. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that not all compounds are equally effective against all growth stages of all pests.
These present compounds and compositions are thus useful agronomically for protecting field crops from phytophagous invertebrate pests, and also nonagronomically for protecting other horticultural crops and plants from phytophagous invertebrate pests. This utility includes protecting crops and other plants (i.e. both agronomic and nonagronomic) that contain genetic material introduced by genetic engineering (i.e. transgenic) or modified by mutagenesis to provide advantageous traits. Examples of such traits include tolerance to herbicides, resistance to phytophagous pests (e.g., insects, mites, aphids, spiders, nematodes, snails, plant-pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses), improved plant growth, increased tolerance of adverse growing conditions such as high or low temperatures, low or high soil moisture, and high salinity, increased flowering or fruiting, greater harvest yields, more rapid maturation, higher quality and/or nutritional value of the harvested product, or improved storage or process properties of the harvested products. Transgenic plants can be modified to express multiple traits. Examples of plants containing traits provided by genetic engineering or mutagenesis include varieties of com, cotton, soybean and potato expressing an insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis toxin such as YIELD GARD®, KNOCKOUT®, STARLINK®, BOLLGARD®, NuCOTN® and NEWLEAP®, and herbicide-tolerant varieties of corn, cotton, soybean and rapeseed such as ROUNDUP READY®, LIBERTY LINK®, IMI , STS and CLEARFIELD , as well as crops expressing iV-acetyltransferase (GAT) to provide resistance to glyphosate herbicide, or crops containing the HRA gene providing resistance to herbicides inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS). The present compounds and compositions may interact synergistically with traits introduced by genetic engineering or modified by mutagenesis, thus enhancing phenotypic expression or effectiveness of the traits or increasing the invertebrate pest control effectiveness of the present compounds and compositions. In particular, the present compounds and compositions may interact synergistically with the phenotypic expression of proteins or other natural products toxic to invertebrate pests to provide greater-than-additive control of these pests.
Nonagronomic uses refer to invertebrate pest control in the areas other than fields of crop plants. Nonagronomic uses of the present compounds and compositions include control of invertebrate pests in stored grains, beans and other foodstuffs, and in textiles such as clothing and carpets. Nonagronomic uses of the present compounds and compositions also include invertebrate pest control in ornamental plants, forests, in yards, along roadsides and railroad rights of way, and on turf such as lawns, golf courses and pastures. Nonagronomic uses of the present compounds and compositions also include invertebrate pest control in 19 houses and other buildings which may be occupied by humans and/or companion, farm, ranch, zoo or other animals Nonagronomic uses of the present compounds and compositions also include the control of pests such as termites that can damage wood or other structural materials used in buildings Nonagronomic uses of the present compounds and compositions also include protecting human and animal health by controlling invertebrate pests that are parasitic or transmit infectious diseases. The controlling of animal parasites includes controlling external parasites that are parasitic to the surface of the body of the host animal (e g , shoulders, armpits, abdomen, inner part of the thighs) and internal parasites that are parasitic to the inside of the body of the host animal (e g , stomach, intestine, lung, veins, under the skin, lymphatic tissue) External parasitic or disease transmitting pests include, for example, chiggers, ticks, lice, mosquitoes, flies, mites and fleas Internal parasites include heartworms, hookworms and helminths Compounds and compositions of the present invention are suitable for systemic and/or non-systemic control of infestation or infection by parasites on animals Compounds and compositions of the present invention are particularly suitable for combating external parasitic or disease transmitting pests Compounds and compositions of the present invention are suitable for combating parasites that mfest agricultural working animals, such as cattle, sheep, goats, hoises, pigs, donkeys, camels, buffalos, rabbits, hens, turkeys, ducks, geese and bees, pet animals and domestic animals such as dogs, cats, pet birds and aquarium fish, as well as so-called experimental animals, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and mice By combating these parasites, fatalities and performance ieduction (in terms of meat, milk, wool, skins, eggs, honey, etc.) are reduced, so that applying a composition comprising a compound of the present invention allows more economic and simple husbandry of animals Examples of agronomic or nonagronomic invertebrate pests include eggs, larvae and adults of the order Lepidoptera, such as armyworms, cutworms, loopers, and hehothines in the family Noctuidae (e.g., pink stem borer {Sesamia inferens Walker), com stalk borer {Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvre), southern armyworm {Spodoptera eridania Cramer), fall armyworm {Spodoptera fugiperda J E Smith), beet armyworm {Spodoptera exigua Hύbner), cotton leafworm {Spodoptera littoralis Boisduval), yellowstπped armyworm {Spodoptera ornithogalli Guenee), black cutworm {Agrotis ipsilon Hufnagel), velvetbean caterpillar {Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner), green fπutwoπn {Lithophane antennata Walker), cabbage armyworm {Barathra brassicae Linnaeus), soybean looper {Pseudoplusia includens Walker), cabbage looper {Trichoplusia ni Hύbner), tobacco budworm {Heliothis virescens Fabricius)); borers, casebearers, webwoππs, coneworms, cabbageworms and skeletomzers from the family Pyrabdae (e g , European corn borer {Ostrinia nubϊlalis Hubner), navel orangeworm {Amyelois transitella Walker), corn root webworm {Crambus caliginosellus Clemens), sod webworms (Pyralidae: Crambinae) such as sod worm {Herpetogramma licarsisalis Walker), sugarcane stem borer {Chilo injuscatellus Snellen), tomato small borer {Neoleucinodes elegantalis Guenee), green leafroller {Cnaphalocerus medinalis), grape leaffolder (Desmia funeralis Hiibner), melon worm {Diaphania nitidalis Stoll), cabbage center grub (Helluala hydralis Guenee), yellow stem borer {Scirpophaga incertulas Walker), early shoot borer {Scirpophaga infuscatellus Snellen), white stem borer (Scirpophaga innotata Walker), top shoot borer {Scirpophaga nivella Fabricius), dark- headed πce borer (Chilo polychrysus Meyrick), cabbage cluster caterpillar {Crocidolomia binotalis English)); leafrollers, budworms, seed worms, and fruit worms in the family Tortπcidae (e.g., codling moth (Cydia pomonella Linnaeus), grape berry moth (Endopiza viteana Clemens), oriental fruit moth {Grapholita molesta Busck), citrus false codling moth (Cryptophlebia leucotreta Meyrick), citrus borer (Ecdytolopha aurantiana Lima), redbanded leafroller (Argyrotaenia velutinana Walker), obliquebanded leafroller {Chorϊstoneura rosaceana Harris), light brown apple moth (Epiphyas postvittana Walker), European grape berry moth {Eupoecilia ambiguella Hϋbner), apple bud moth {Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott), omnivorous leafroller {Platynota stultana Walsingham), barred fruit-tree tortrix {Pandemis cerasana Hiibner), apple brown tortrix {Pandemis heparana Dems & Schiffermuller)); and many other economically important lepidoptera (e g., diamondback moth {Plutella xylostella Linnaeus), pink bollworm {Pectinophora gossypieUa Saunders), gypsy moth {Lymantria dispar Linnaeus), peach fruit borer {Carposina niponensis Walsingham), peach twig borer {Anarsia lineatella Zeller), potato tuberworm (Phthonmaea operculella Zeller), spotted teniform leafminer {Lithocolletis blancardella Fabricius), Asiatic apple leafminer {Lithocolletis ringoniella Matsumura), rice leaffolder {Lerodea eufala Edwards)?

For embodiments where one or more of these various mixing partners are used, the weight ratio of these various mixing partners (in total) to the compound of Formula 1 is typically between about 1:3000 and about 3000:1. Of note are weight ratios between about 1:300 and about 300:1 (for example ratios between about 1:30 and about 30:1). One skilled in the art can easily determine through simple experimentation the biologically effective amounts of active ingredients necessary for the desired spectrum of biological activity. It will be evident that including these additional components may expand the spectrum of invertebrate pests controlled beyond the spectrum controlled by the compound of Formula 1 alone.
In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other biologically active (particularly invertebrate pest control) compounds or agents (i.e. active ingredients) can result in a greater-fhan-additive (i.e.. synergistic) effect. Reducing the quantity of active ingredients released in the environment while ensuring effective pest control is always desirable. When synergism of invertebrate pest control active ingredients occurs at application rates giving agronomically satisfactory levels of invertebrate pest control, such combinations can be advantageous for reducing crop production cost and decreasing environmental load. Of note is a combination of a compound of Formula 1 with at least one other invertebrate pest control active ingredient. Of particular note is such a combination where the other invertebrate pest control active ingredient has different site of action from the compound of Formula 1. In certain instances, a combination with at least one other invertebrate pest control active ingredient having a similar spectrum of control but a different site of action will be particularly advantageous for resistance management. Thus, a composition of the present invention can further comprise a biologically effective amount of at least one additional invertebrate pest control active ingredient having a similar spectrum of control but a different site of action. Contacting a plant genetically modified to express an invertebrate pest compound (e.g., protein) or the locus of the plant with a biologically effective amount of a compound of this invention can also provide a broader spectrum of plant protection and be advantageous for resistance management.
Table A lists specific combinations of a compound of Formula 1 with other invertebrate pest control agents illustrative of the mixtures, compositions and methods of the present invention. The first column of Table A lists the specific invertebrate pest control agents (e.g., "Abamectin" in the first line). The second column of Table A lists the mode of action (if known) or chemical class of the invertebrate pest control agents. The third column of Table A lists embodiment(s) of ranges of weight ratios for rates at which the invertebrate pest control agent can be applied relative to a compound of Formula 1, an JV-oxide, or a salt thereof, (e.g., "50:1 to 1:50" of abamectin relative to a compound of Formula 1 by weight). Thus, for example, the first line of Table A specifically discloses the combination of a compound of Formula 1 with abamectin can be applied in a weight ratio between 50:1 to 1:50. The remaining lines of Table A are to be construed similarly. Of further note Table A lists specific combinations of a compound of Formula 1 with other invertebrate pest control agents illustrative of the mixtures, compositions and methods of the present invention and includes additional embodiments of weight ratio ranges for application rates.

e spec ic mixtures listed n Table B typically combine a compoun o ormu a with the other invertebrate pest agent in the ratios specified m Table A
Invertebrate pests are controlled in agronomic and nonagronomic applications by applying one or more compounds of this invention, typically in the form of a composition, m a biologically effective amount, to the environment of the pests, including the agronomic and/or nonagronomic locus of infestation, to the area to be protected, or directly on the pests to be controlled.
Thus the present invention comprises a method for controlling an invertebrate pest m agronomic and/or nonagronomic applications, comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of one or more of the compounds of the invention, or with a composition comprising at least one such compound or a composition comprising at least one such compound and a biologically effective amount of at least one additional biologically active compound or agent. Examples of suitable compositions comprising a compound of the invention and a biologically effective amount of at least one additional biologically active compound or agent include granular compositions wherein the additional active compound is present on the same granule as the compound of the invention or on granules separate from those of the compound of the invention.
To achieve contact with a compound or composition of the invention to protect a field crop from invertebrate pests, the compound or composition is typically applied to the seed of the crop before planting, to the foliage (e.g., leaves, stems, flowers, fruits) of crop plants, or to the soil or other growth medium before or after the crop is planted.
One embodiment of a method of contact is by spraying. Alternatively, a granular composition comprising a compound of the invention can be applied to the plant foliage or the soil. Compounds of this invention can also be effectively delivered through plant uptake by contacting the plant with a composition comprising a compound of this invention applied as a soil drench of a liquid formulation, a granular formulation to the soil, a nursery box treatment or a dip of transplants. Of note is a composition of the present invention in the form of a soil drench liquid formulation. Also of note is a method for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of the present invention or with a composition comprising a biologically effective amount of a compound of the present invention. Of further note is this method wherein the environment is soil and the composition is applied to the soil as a soil drench formulation. Of further note is that compounds of this invention are also effective by localized application to the locus of infestation. Other methods of contact include application of a compound or a composition of the invention by direct and residual sprays, aerial sprays, gels, seed coatings, microencapsulations, systemic uptake, baits, ear tags, boluses, foggers, fumigants, aerosols, dusts and many others. One embodiment of a method of contact is a dimensionally stable fertilizer granule, stick or tablet comprising a compound or composition of the invention. The compounds of this invention can also be impregnated into materials for fabricating invertebrate control devices (e.g., insect netting).
Compounds of this invention are also useful in seed treatments for protecting seeds from invertebrate pests. In the context of the present disclosure and claims, treating a seed means contacting the seed with a biologically effective amount of a compound of this invention, which is typically formulated as a composition of the invention. This seed treatment protects the seed from invertebrate soil pests and generally can also protect roots and other plant parts in contact with the soil of the seedling developing from the germinating seed. The seed treatment may also provide protection of foliage by translocation of the compound of this invention or a second active ingredient within the developing plant. Seed treatments can be- applied to all types of seeds, including those from which plants genetically transformed to express specialized traits will germinate. Representative examples include those expressing proteins toxic to invertebrate pests, such as Bacillus thuringiensis toxin or those expressing herbicide resistance such as glyphosate acetyl transferase, which provides resistance to glyphosate.
One method of seed treatment is by spraying or dusting the seed with a compound of the invention (i.e. as a formulated composition) before sowing the seeds. Compositions formulated for seed treatment generally comprise a film former or adhesive agent. Therefore typically a seed coating composition . of the present invention comprises a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula 1, an /V-oxide or salt thereof, and a film former or adhesive agent. Seed can be coated by spraying a flowable suspension concentrate directly into a tumbling bed of seeds and then drying the seeds. Alternatively, other formulation types such as wetted powders, solutions, suspoemulsions, emulsifiable concentrates and emulsions in water can be sprayed on the seed. This process is particularly useful for applying film coatings on seeds. Various coating machines and processes are available to one skilled in the art. Suitable processes include those listed in P. Kosters et al., Seed Treatment: Progress and Prospects, 1994 BCPC Mongraph No. 57, and references listed therein.
The treated seed typically comprises a compound of the present invention in an amount from about 0.1 g to 1 kg per 100 kg of seed (i.e. from about 0.0001 to 1% by weight of the seed before treatment). A flowable suspension formulated for seed treatment typically. comprises from about 0.5 to about 70% of the active ingredient, from about 0.5 to about 30% of a film-forming adhesive, from about 0.5 to about 20% of a dispersing agent, from 0 to about 5% of a thickener, from 0 to about 5% of a pigment and/or dye, from 0 to about 2% of an antifoaming agent, from 0 to about 1% of a preservative, and from 0 to about 75% of a volatile liquid diluent. The compounds of this invention can be incorporated into a bait composition that is consumed by an invertebrate pest or used within a device such as a trap, bait station, and the like. Such a bait composition can be in the form of granules which comprise (a) active ingredients, namely a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula 1, an TV-oxide, or salt thereof; (b) one or more food materials; optionally (c) an attractant, and optionally (d) one or more humectants. Of note are granules or bait compositions which comprise between about 0.001-5% active ingredients, about 40-99% food material and/or attractant; and optionally about 0.05-10% humectants, which are effective m controlling soil invertebrate pests at very low application rates, particularly at doses of active ingredient that are lethal by ingestion rather than by direct contact. Some food materials can function both as a food source and an attractant. Food materials include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Examples of food materials are vegetable flour, sugar, starches, animal fat, vegetable oil, yeast extracts and milk solids. Examples of attractants are odorants and flavorants, such as fruit or plant extracts, perfume, or other animal or plant component, pheromones or other agents known to attract a target invertebrate pest. Examples of humectants, i.e. moisture retaining agents, are glycols and other polyols, glycerine and sorbitol. Of note is a bait composition (and a method utilizing such a bait composition) used to control at least one invertebrate pest selected from the group consisting of ants, termites and cockroaches. A device for controlling an invertebrate pest can comprise the present bait composition and a housing adapted to receive the bait composition, wherein the housing has at least one opening sized to permit the invertebrate pest to pass through the opening so the invertebrate pest can gain access to the bait composition from a location outside the housing, and wherein the housing is further adapted to be placed in or near a locus of potential or known activity for the invertebrate pest. The compounds of this invention can be applied without other adjuvants, but most often application will be of a formulation comprising one or more active ingredients with suitable carriers, diluents, and surfactants and possibly in combination with a food depending on the contemplated end use. One method of application involves spraying a water dispersion or refined oil solution of a compound of the present invention. Combinations with spray oils, spray oil concentrations, spreader stickers, adjuvants, other solvents, and synergists such as piperonyl butoxide often enhance compound efficacy. -For nonagronomic uses such sprays can be applied from spray containers such as a can, a bottle or other container, either by means of a pump or by releasing it from a pressurized container, e:g., a pressurized aerosol spray can. Such spray compositions can take various forms, for example, sprays,' mists, foams, fumes or fog. Such spray compositions thus can further comprise propellants, foaming agents, etc. as the case may be. Of note is a spray composition comprising a biologically effective amount of a compound or a composition of the present invention and a carrier. One embodiment of such a spray composition comprises a biologically effective amount of a compound or a composition of the present invention and a propellant. Representative propellants include, but are not limited to, methane, ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, butene, pentane, isopentane, neopentane, pentene, hydrofluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, dimethyl ether, and mixtures of the foregoing. Of note is a spray composition (and a method utilizing such a spray composition dispensed from a spray container) used to control at least one invertebrate pest selected from the group consisting of mosquitoes, black flies, stable flies, deer flies, horse flies, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, ticks, 'spiders, ants, gnats, and the like, including individually or in combinations.
Nonagronomic applications include protecting an animal, particularly a vertebrate, more particularly a homeothermic vertebrate (e.g., mammal or bird) and most particularly a mammal, from an invertebrate parasitic pest by administering a parasiticidally effective (i.e. biologically effective) amount of a compound of the invention, typically in the form of a composition formulated for veterinary use, to the animal to be protected. Therefore of note is a method for protecting an animal comprising' administering to the animal a parasiticidally effective amount of a compound of the invention. As referred to in the present disclosure and claims, the terms "parasiticidal" and "parasiticidally" refers to observable effects on an invertebrate parasite pest to provide protection of an animal from the pest. Parasiticidal effects typically relate to diminishing the occurrence or activity of the target invertebrate parasitic pest. Such effects on the pest include necrosis, death, retarded growth, diminished l mobility or lessened ability to remain on or in the host animal, reduced feeding and inhibition of reproduction. These effects on invertebrate parasite pests provide control (including prevention, reduction or elimination) of parasitic infestation or infection of the animal. Examples of invertebrate parasitic pests controlled by administering a parasiticidally effective amount of a compound of the invention to an animal to be protected include ectoparasites (arthropods, acarines, etc) and endoparasites (helminths, e.g., nematodes, trematodes, cestodes, acanthocephalans, etc.). In particular, the compounds of this invention are effective against ectoparasites including: flies such as Haematobia (Lyperosia) irritans (horn fly), Stomoxys calcitrans (stable fly), Simulium spp. (blackfly), Glossina spp. (tsetse flies), Hydrotaea irritans (head fly), Musca autumnάlis (face fly), Musca domestica (house fly), Morellia simplex (sweat fly), Tabanus spp. (horse fly), Hypoderma bovis, Hypoderma lineatum, Lucilia sericata, Lucilia cuprina (green blowfly), Calliphora spp. (blowfly), Protophormia spp., Oestrus ovis (nasal botfly), Culicoides spp. (midges), Hippobosca equine, Gastrophilus instesήnalis, Gastrophilus haemorrhoidalis and Gastrόphilus naslis; lices such as Bovicola (Damalinia) bovis, Bovicola equi, Haematopinus asini, Felicola subrostratus, Heterodoxus spiniger, Lignonathus setosus and Trichodectes canis; keds such as Melophagus ovinus; mites such as Psoroptes spp., Sarcoptes scάbei, Chorioptes bovis, Demodex equi, Cheyletiella spp., Notoedres cati, Trombicula spp. and Otodectes cyanotis (ear mites); ticks such as Ixodes spp., Boophilύs spp., Rhipicephalus spp., Amblyomma spp., Dermacentor spp., Hyalomma spp. and Haemaphysalis spp.; and fleas such as Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea) and Ctenocephalid.es cams (dog flea)
Nonagronoiruc applications m the veterinary sector are by conventional means such as by enteral administration m the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, drinks, drenching preparations, granulates, pastes, boll, feed-through procedures, or suppositories, or by parenteral administration, such as by injection (including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal), implants, by nasal administration; by topical administration, for example, m the form of immersion or dipping, spraying, washing, coating with powder, or application to a small area of the animal, and through articles such as neck collars, eai tags, tail bands, limb bands or halteis which compπse compounds or compositions of the present invention
Typically a parasiticidal composition according to the present invention comprises a mixture of a compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or a salt thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically or veteπnaπly acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries selected with regard to the intended ioute of administration (e g , oral, topical or parenteral administration such as injection) and m accordance with standard practice In addition, a suitable earner is selected on the basis of compatibility with the one or more active ingredients m the composition, including such considerations as stability relative to pH and moisture content Therefore of note is a composition for protecting an animal from an invertebrate parasitic pest comprising a parasitically effective amount of a compound of the invention and at least one earner
Por parenteral administration including intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection, a compound of the present invention can be formulated in suspension, solution or emulsion m oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain adjuncts such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Pharmaceutical compositions for injection include aqueous solutions of water-soluble forms of active ingredients (e.g , a salt of an active compound), preferably m physiologically compatible buffers containing other excipients or auxiliaries as are known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation.
- For oral administration including solutions (the most readily available form for absorption), emuls.ions, suspensions, pastes, gels, capsules, tablets, boluses powders, granules, rumen-retention and feed/water/lick blocks, a compound of the present invention can be formulated with binders/fillers known in the art to be suitable for oral administration compositions, such as sugars (e.g., lactose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol), starch (e.g., maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch), cellulose and derivatives (e.g., methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, ethylhydroxycellulose), protein derivatives (e.g., zein, gelatin), and synthetic polymers (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone). If desired, lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate), disintegrating agents (e.g., cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidinone, agar, alginic acid) and dyes or pigments can be added. Pastes and gels often also contain adhesives (e.g., acacia, alginic acid, bentonite, cellulose, xanthangum, colloidal magnesium aluminum silicate) to aid in keeping the composition in contact with the oral cavity and not being easily ejected.
If the parasiticidal compositions are m the form of feed concentrates, the carrier is Lypically selected from high-performance feed, feed cereals or protein concentrates. Such feed concentrate-containing compositions can, in addition to the parasiticidal active ingredients, comprise additives promoting animal health or growth, improving quality of meat from animals for slaughter or otherwise useful to animal husbandry. These additives can include, for example, vitamins, antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, bacteriostats, fungistats, cocci diostats and hormones. Compounds of the present invention have been discovered to have favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties providing systemic availability from oral administration and ingestion. Therefore after ingestion by the animal to be protected, parasiticidally effective concentrations of compounds of the invention in the bloodstream protect the treated animal from blood-sucking pests such as fleas, ticks and lice. Therefore of note is a composition for protecting an animal from an invertebrate parasite pest m a form for oral administration (i.e. comprising, in addition to a parasiticidally effective amount of a compound of the invention, one or more carriers selected from binders and fillers suitable for oral administration and feed concentrate earners).
Formulations for topical administration are typically in the form of a powder, cream, suspension, spray, emulsion, foam, paste, aerosol, ointment, salve or gel. More typically a topical formulation is a water-soluble solution, which can be in the form of a concentrate that is diluted before use. Parasiticidal compositions suitable for topical administration typically comprise a compound of the present invention and one or more topically suitable carriers. In applications of a parasiticidal composition topically to the exteπor of an animal as a line or spot (i.e. "spot-on" treatment), the active ingredient is expected to migrate over the surface of the active to cover most or all of its external surface area. As a result, the treated animal is particularly protected from invertebrate pests that feed off the epidermis of the animal such as ticks, fleas and lice. Therefore formulations for topical localized administration often comprise at least one organic solvent to facilitate transport of the active ingredient over the skin and/or penetration into the epidermis of the animal. Solvents commonly used as carriers • in such formulations include propylene glycol, paraffins, aromatics, esters such as isopropyl myristate, glycol ethers, and alcohols such as ethanol and rc-propanol.
The rate of application required for effective control (i.e. "biologically effective amount") will depend on such factors as the species of invertebrate to be controlled, the pest's life cycle, life stage, its size, location, time of year, host crop or animal, feeding behavior, mating behavior, ambient moisture, temperature, and the like. Under normal circumstances, application rates of about 0.01 to 2 kg of active ingredients per hectare are sufficient to control pests in agronomic "ecosystems, but as little as 0.0001 kg/hectare may be sufficient or as much as 8 kg/hectare may be required. For nonagronomic applications, effective use rates will range from about 1.0 to 50 mg/square meter but as little as 0.1 mg/square meter may be sufficient or as much as 150 mg/square meter may be required. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective amount necessary for the desired level of invertebrate pest control.
In general for veterinary use, a compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or a salt thereof, is administered in a parasiticidally effective amount to an animal to be protected from invertebrate parasite pests. A parasiticidally effective amount is the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect diminishing the occurrence or activity of the target invertebrate parasite pest. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the parasitically effective dose can vary for the various compounds and compositions of the present invention, the desired parasitical effect and duration, the target invertebrate pest species, the animal to be protected, the mode of application and the like, and the amount needed to achieve a particular result can be determined through simple experimentation. . For oral administration to homeothermic animals, the daily dosage of a compound of: the present invention typically ranges from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg, more typically from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg, of animal body weight. For topical (e.g., dermal) administration, dips and sprays typically contain from about 0.5 ppm to about 5000 ppm, more typically from about 1 ppm to about 3000 ppm, of a compound of the; present invention.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES OF THE INVENTION
The following Tests demonstrate the control effxcacy of compounds of this invention on specific pests. "Control efficacy" represents inhibition of invertebrate pest development
(including mortality) that causes significantly reduced feeding. The pest control protection afforded by the compounds is not limited, however, to these species. See Index Tables A-D for compound descriptions
TEST A For evaluating control of diamondback moth (JPlutella xylostella) the test unit consisted of a small open container with a 12— 14-day-old radish plant inside. This was pre- infested with 10-15 neonate larvae on a piece of insect diet by use of a core sampler to remove a plug from a sheet of hardened insect diet having many larvae growing on it and transfer the plug containing larvae and diet to the test unit. The larvae moved onto the test plant as the diet plug dried out. Test compounds were formulated using a solution containing 10% acetone, 90% water and 300 ppm X-77™ Spreader Lo-Foam Formula non-ionic surfactant containing alkylarylpolyoxyethylene, free fatty acids, glycols and isopropanol (Loveland Industries, Inc. Greeley, Colorado, USA). The formulated compounds were applied in 1 mL of liquid through a SUJ2 atomizer nozzle with 1/8 JJ custom body (Spraying Systems Co. Wheaton, Illinois, USA) positioned 1.27 cm (0.5 inches) above the top of each test unit. All experimental compounds in these tests were sprayed at 250 ppm replicated three times. After spraying of the formulated test compound, each test unit was allowed to dry for 1 hour and then a black, screened cap was placed on top. The test units were held for 6 days in a growth chamber at 25 0C and 70% relative humidity. The level of control efficacy of the test compound was then visually assessed based on the foliage feeding damage and the larval mortality of each test unit.
