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, pesticidal compositions containing such molecules, 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. This document discloses molecules having the following formula (“Formula One”).

Core Innovation

The invention relates to molecules selected from one of the molecules listed in a Table, including cyclopropane carboxamido benzamide molecules and other enumerated fluorinated, chlorinated, and heteroaryl-substituted structures. The disclosed molecules include substituted cyclopropane-containing aromatic carboxamides, benzamides, benzoic acids, amides, and related amide/urea-like molecules with halogenated aromatic rings and varied N-substituents. The structures are presented as specific selectable molecules rather than as a general chemical class.

The disclosed structures are defined by detailed substituent patterns and stereochemical descriptors, including trans and (1R,3R) configurations, and by selectable table entries such as F-series, PF-series, C-series, and P-series identifiers. The structural disclosures repeatedly center on a cyclopropane-containing scaffold with aryl or heteroaryl variation, including chlorinated, fluorinated, brominated, cyano, nitro, methoxy, methylthio, methylsulfinyl, trifluoromethyl, and related motifs. The document also includes isolated examples with reported appearance, mass, yield, and characterization data where provided.

The claim framework further places the selected molecule in pesticide compositions and pest-control processes. The compositions can further comprise specified active ingredient classes, selected named structures from Table A, or a biopesticide, with the weight ratio of the molecule to an active ingredient defined by Table C and numerical ratio ranges. The process applies a pesticidally effective amount to a locus for controlling pests, including sap-feeding or chewing pests and specified insect pest groups and taxonomic orders.

Claims Coverage

The consolidated claim coverage centers on selecting a molecule from a provided Table. Across the supplied items, the independent coverage is consistently a table-based molecule selection claim, with dependent features adding stereochemical constraints, composition limitations, ratio constraints, and pest-control use limitations.

Overall, the claim set covers selection of a listed molecule from a Table, optionally refined by R,R stereochemistry, then extended to pesticide compositions with specified active ingredients or structures under Table C-based weight-ratio constraints, and to pest-control processes applying a pesticidally effective amount to a locus for defined pest types.
