Abstract

Compounds of the following structure, the corresponding N-oxides and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof, are disclosed as effective insecticides: ##STR1## wherein U is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --; Q is hydroxy; and R is: ##STR2## and wherein V, W, Y, and Z are each hydrogen; X is a five- or six-membered heterocycle; optionally substituted with bromine, chlorine, fluorine, cyano, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkoxyalkyl, or aminocarbonyl; and the heterocycle is optionally connected to the phenyl ring through a --O--, --S--, --(CH.sub.2).sub.p, --C(O)--, or --O--(CR.sup.3 R.sup.4).sub.q linkage; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from phenyl or pyridyl substituted with pentahalothio, haloalkylthio, haloalkylsulfinyl, or haloalkylsulfonyl; phenyl substituted with --OC(M).sub.2 O--, where M is bromine, chorine or fluorine, to provide a dihalobenzodioxolyl fused ring; or pyridyl substituted with --OC(M).sub.2 O-- to provide a dihalodioxolenopyridyl fused ring; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently selected from hydrogen and methyl; n and p are independently 1, 2, or 3; and q is 1 or 2; with the proviso that at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is substituted in the para position of the phenyl ring or the 5-position of the 2-pyridyl ring; each alkyl portion of said optional substituent on X wherein the optional substituent is alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxyl, haloalkoxyl, alkoxyalkyl, or haloalkoxyalkyl contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; each heterocycle contains from 1 to 4 nitrogen atoms, 1 or 2 oxygen or sulfur atoms, or 1 or 2 nitrogen atoms and an oxygen or sulfur atom; and the corresponding N-oxides and agriculturally acceptable salts.
