(57) Abstract The invention relates to α-sulfin- and α-sulfonamino acid amides of general formula (I), including the optical isomers thereof and mixtures of such isomers, wherein n is a number zero or one; R8 is C1-C6alkyl, C3-C6alkenyl or C3-C6alkynyl; R9 and R10 are each independently hydrogen or C1-C4alkyl; and R11 is either (1) or (2), wherein R14, R15, R16 and R17 are each independently hydrogen or C1-C4alkyl, X is oxygen, sulfur or -NR18-, wherein R18 is hydrogen or C1-C4alkyl, and A is optionally substituted mono- or polycylic aryl or heteroaryl, and to the preparation of those substances and to agrochemical compositions comprising at least one of those compounds as active ingredient. The invention relates also to the preparation of compositions and to the use of the compounds or of the compositions in controlling or preventing the infestation of plants by phytopathogenic microorganisms, especially fungi. |
