Abstract: The novel compounds of formula I ##STR1## (A and R.sup.1 through R.sup.4 are defined in the specification) show selective fungicidal activity. The new compounds are obtainable by a new synthetic method and processed with carriers and adjuvants to fungicidal compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides nonaqueous compositions comprising a saccharide fatty acid ester and an active compound. The nonaqueous compositions of this invention may be parenterally administered to animals and humans. In particular, the nonaqueous compositions of the present invention are useful for preventing, controlling or treating helminth, acarid or arthropod endo- or ectoparasitic infection or infestation in warm-blooded animals.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of 5-bromo-2-fluorobenzeneboronic acid, which is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of a non-ester pyrethroid compound. The compound can be, for example, a fluoroolefin, which is useful as a pesticide.

Abstract: There are provided ammonium oxazole intermediates of formula I and amino oxazolium intermediates of formula II, useful in the manufacture of insecticidal arylpyrrole compounds.
