Biocidally active benzimidazole compounds

Abstract

Abstract New benzimidazole compounds are disclosed which have biocidal activity. The compounds have the following structures: WHEREIN R is hydrogen, halogen or trifluoromethyl; R1 is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or halogeno lower alkyl; R2 is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio, lower alkylsulfinyl or lower alkyl sulfonyl; R4 is hydrogen or an alkali metal cation; X is oxygen, sulfur, sulfinyl or sulfonyl; Z in formula IV is halogen, nitro, C1 6 alkyl, C1 6 alkoxy, C1 6 alkylthio, trifluoromethyl, lower alkylamino, benzoylamino, halogenobenzoylamino, trifluoromethylbenzoylamino, benzenesulfonylamino, alkylsulfonylamino, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonylamino, trifluoromethylhalogenobenzenesulfonylamino, or sulfo; Z in formula VI is fluorine, chlorine or bromine; m in formula IV is 1 through 5; m in formula VI is 0 through 3; n is 0 through 2; p in formula IV is 0 through 3; and p in formula VI is 1 through 3. The compounds of formula IV are particularly useful as insecticides and acaricides. The compounds of formula VI are particularly useful as insecticides, acaricides, bacteriostats and fungistats.
