-C
10
alkenyl, C
2
-C
10
alkynyl, or hydrogen, or R

(halo)alkylene or C
4
-C
6
(halo)alkenylene; R
5
is halogen, cyano, nitro, C
1
-C
4
(halo)alkyl, or the like; n is an integer of 0 to 4; R

1
-C
4
(halo)alkyl, or the like; or R
5
and R
6
are taken together to form methylenedioxy; with the provisos that when R
6
is hydrogen, then n is an integer of 1 to 4 and that when n is 2 or more, then R

本发明涉及使用式(X)的
丙二腈化合物:其中R1和R2相同或不同且独立地为C1-C5(卤)烷基,C1-C5(卤)烷氧基,C2-C5(卤)烯基,C2-C5(卤)炔基,氢或
氰基;R3和R4相同或不同且独立地为C1-C10烷基,C2-C10烯基,C2-C10炔基或氢,或者R3和R4结合形成C2-C6(卤)烷基或C4-C6(卤)烯基;R5为卤素,
氰基,硝基,C1-C4(卤)烷基或类似物;n为0至4的整数;R6为卤素,
氰基,硝基,C1-C4(卤)烷基或类似物;或者R5和R6结合形成亚甲二氧基;但当R6为氢时,n为1至4的整数,且当n为2或更多时,R5不相同;作为
杀虫剂,以及含有这些化合物作为活性成分的
杀虫剂组合物。本发明使得能够有效地控制害虫,例如昆虫害虫,螨虫害虫和线虫害虫。
