Pesticidal compounds are provided having the general formula (I) or a salt thereof, in which n represents an integer from 0 to 4, m represents an integer 0 or 1; each R independently represents a halogen atom or a nitro, cyano, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkenyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, haloalkenoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, carboxyl, alkanoyl, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl group. , alkylamido, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, R1 and R2 each independently represent an optionally substituted alkoxy group or together represent a group = 0, = S or = N-OR9, where R9 represents an hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group ; R3 represents a hydroxyl group, or a group -OL where L is a leaving group, or a group that in vivo is transformed into a group -Ol 1 where L is a leaving group; R6 represents an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloolkenyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, cycloalkyloxy, cylcoalkenyloxy or aryloxy group, R7 and R6 independently represent an optionally substituted alkoxy group or together represent a group = 0, = S o = N-OR9, where R9 is as previously defined; and wherein R4 and R5 each independently represent a halogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl or alkenyl group, or together with the intervening carbon atom represent an optionally substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl ring; and A represents a straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl group, which may be optionally substituted, preferably with halogen, an acyclic carbon chain from which connects the 3-position of the naphthalene ring shown and the -CR4R5R6 portion; with the proviso that when R1 and R2, and R7 and R8, are groups = 0, m and n = 0, R4 and R5 are methyl and R4 is ethenyl; R3 is not hydroxyl or ethanoyloxy. |
