Abstract: This invention relates to novel N-alkyl-N-cyanoformyl carbamates and N-alkyl-N-cyanoformyl thiolcarbamates and their use as nematocides.

Abstract: Vinyl 2-arylthiovinyl and vinyl 2-alkylthiovinyl sulfones, having fungicidal and algicidal activity, are prepared by the addition of arylsulfenyl halides or alkylsulfenyl halides to divinyl sulfone and the dihydrohalogenation of the resulting 1,2-addition product.

Abstract: Novel N-haloacetyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-3,1-benzoxazines which have utility as herbicides.
