摘要

Bis-trifluoromethyl-imino-imidazolones of the formula IN WHICH EACH R independently is hydrogen or methyl, R2 is a radical selected from the group consisting of bridged rings; fused rings; directly linearly linked rings; rings linked through oxygen, alkylene, oxyalkylene or alkylenoxyalkylene; and substitution products of any of the foregoing with halogen, alkyl or alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms; said radicals comprising at least two carbon rings, at least one of which is non-aromatic; R3 is hydrogen or a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl with up to 8 carbon atoms; substitution products of any of the foregoing with halogen or alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl; cycloalkyl substituted by alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms; aralkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part; aryl with up to 14 carbon atoms; substitution products of these aralkyl and aryl radicals with halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl or alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and any of the radicals listed under R2; each x independently is an integer from 0 to 4, EACH Y INDEPENDENTLY IS 0 OR 1 EXCEPT THAT Y MUST BE 0 IF X IS 0, AND EACH Z INDEPENDENTLY IS AN INTEGER FROM 0 TO 4, WHICH POSSESS ACARICIDAL, INSECTICIDAL AND FUNGICIDAL PROPERTIES.
