Abstract

This disclosure relates to the field of molecules having pesticidal utility against pests in Phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Nematoda, processes to produce such molecules, intermediates used in such processes, and processes of using such pesticidal compositions against such pests. These pesticidal compositions may be used, for example, as acaricides, insecticides, miticides, molluscicides, and nematicides.

Description

BACKGROUND This disclosure relates to the field of molecules having pesticidal utility against pests in Phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Nematoda, processes to produce such molecules, intermediates used in such processes, and processes of using such pesticidal compositions against such pests. These pesticidal compositions may be used, for example, as acaricides, insecticides, miticides, molluscicides, and nematicides. Each year, insects, plant pathogens, and weeds destroy more than 40% of all food produced. This loss occurs despite the application of pesticides and the use of a wide array of non-chemical controls, such as crop rotation and biological controls. If just some of this food could be saved, it could be used to feed the more than three billion people in the world who are malnourished (Pimental, D., Pest Control in World Agriculture Agricultural Sciences - Vol. II, 2009). Plant parasitic nematodes are among the most widespread pests and are frequently one of the most insidious and costly. It has been estimated that losses attributable to nematodes range from about 9% in developed countries to about 15% in undeveloped countries. However, in the United States of America a survey of 35 States on various crops indicated nematode-derived losses of up to 25% (Nicol et al., Current Nematode Threats to World Agriculture, Genomic and Molecular Genetics of Plant - Nematode Interactions, p. 21-43, 2011). It is noted that gastropods (slugs and snails) are pests of less economic importance than other arthropods or nematodes, but in certain places, they may reduce yields substantially, severely affecting the quality of harvested products, as well as, transmitting human, animal, and plant diseases. While only a few dozen species of gastropods are serious regional pests, a handful of species are important pests on a worldwide scale. In particular, gastropods affect a wide variety of agricultural and horticultural crops, such as arable, pastoral, and fiber crops; vegetables; bush and tree fruits; herbs; and ornamentals (Speiser, B., Molluscicides, Encyclopedia of Pest Management, Ch. 219, p. 506-508, 2002). Termites cause damage to all types of private and public structures, as well as to agricultural and forestry resources. In 2005, it was estimated that termites cause over US$50 billion in damage worldwide each year (Korb, J., Termites, Current Biology, Vol. 17, No. 23, 2007). Consequently, for many reasons, including those mentioned above, there is an on-going need for the costly (estimated to be about US$286 million per pesticide in 2014), time-consuming (on average about 11.3 years per pesticide), and difficult development of new pesticides (Phillips McDougall, The Cost of New Agrochemical Product Discovery, Development and Registration in 1995, 2000, 2005-8 and 2010-2014. R&D expenditure in 2014 and expectations for 2019, 2016). DEFINITIONS Examples provided herein are not exhaustive and should not be construed as limiting. It is understood that a substituent should comply with chemical bonding rules and steric compatibility constraints in relation to the particular molecule to which it is attached. These definitions are only to be used for the purposes of this disclosure. The term "Actives" or "Active ingredient" means the following group of pesticides, each of which is considered as "active' or an "active ingredient" - selected from the groups AIGA-1, AIGA-2, or AI-1 or AI-2. These common names may be found in several locations, such as, the British Crop Production Council's "Compendium of Pesticide Common Names" located at https://pesticidecompendium.bcpc.org/. These active ingredients may be used in mixtures with the molecules disclosed below for a variety of reasons. The term "AIGA-1" means the following preferred group of mixing partners to form mixtures that perform multiple agricultural functions selected from the group consisting of abamectin, acephate, acequinocyl, acetamiprid, acrinathrin, acynonapyr, afidopyropen, alanycarb, aldicarb, allethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, aminopyralid, amitraz, azadirachtin, azamethiphos, azinphos-ethyl, azinphos-methyl, azocyclotin, azoxystrobin, bendiocarb, benfuracarb, bensultap, benzoximate, benzpyrimoxan, beta-cyfluthrin, beta-cypermethrin, bifenazate, bifenthrin, bioallethrin, bioresmethrin, bistrifluron, broflanilide, bromopropylate, buprofezin, butocarboxim, butoxycarboxim, cadusafos, carbaryl, carbofuran, carbosulfan, carboxin, cartap hydrochloride, chinomethionat, chlorantraniliprole, chlordane, chlorethoxyfos, chlorfenapyr, chlorfenvinphos, chlorfluazuron, chlormephos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, chromafenozide, clofentezine, clopyralid, cloquintocet, clothianidin, copper hydroxide, coumaphos, cyanophos, cyantraniliprole, cyclaniliprole, cyclobutrifluram, cycloprothrin, cycloxaprid, cyenopyrafen, cyflumetofen, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cyhexatin, cymoxanil, cypermethrin, cyphenothrin, cyproflanilide, cyromazine, d-cis-trans allethrin, DDVP, deltamethrin,
