Compound of the formula (I):
or a salt thereof, wherein Q1 is a monocyclic or a fused bicyclic ring system each ring containing 5 or 6 ring atoms selected from carbon and optionally one or more heteroatoms at least 1 ring being aromatic, or Q1 is a dihalovinyl group; Q is an alkyl chain containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms and optionally containing one or two oxygen atoms and/or an unsaturated group -CR7 = CR8-, or -C=C-, wherein R7 and R8 are selected from hydrogen or halo; a is 0 or 1; b is O or 1; the sum of a and b is O or 1; R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are the same or different, and are independently selected from hydrogen, halo and C1-4 alkyl; R1 is selected from hydrogen and C1-6 hydrocarbyl optionally substituted by dioxalanyl, halo, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethylthio or C1-6 alkoxy are disclosed which have pesticidal activity. Pesticidal formulations containing the compounds of the formula (I), their use in the control of pests and methods for their preparation are also disclosed.
Insecticidal and acaricidal compounds of Formula AR(CH.sub.2).sub.x O(CH.sub.2).sub.m A(CH.sub.2).sub.n (CE.sup.1 =CE.sup.2).sub.a (CE.sup.3 =CE.sup.4)CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2 (I) wherein Ar is phenyl or naphthyl, in either case optionally substituted by one or more of optionally substituted C.sub.1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted C.sub.1-6 -alkylthio or C.sub.1-6 alkylthiooxy, halogen or optionally substituted C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, x=0 or 1 m=1 to 7 n=1 to 7 A=CH.sub.2 or oxygen a=0 or 1 R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl (either of which may be substituted by one or more of halo, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl, CF.sub.2-6 alkoxy, C.sub.2-6 alkynyl, dioxalanyl and C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl) E.sup.1, E.sup.2, E.sup.3 and E.sup.4 are independently selected from hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, optionally substituted by halo, and nitrile, provided that at least one of E.sup.1, E.sup.2, E.sup.3 and E.sup.4 is optionally substituted alkyl or nitrile provided that x is zero only when Ar is optionally substituted naphthyl.
