Abstract: Novel aromatic compounds of formula (I): wherein A1, A2, A3, A4, R1, R2, R5, G1, G2, Q1, Q2, Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are as defined in claim 1; or a salt or N-oxide thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to processes for preparing compounds of formula (I), to insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal or molluscicidal compositions comprising them and to methods of using them to combat and control insect, acarine, nematode or mollusc pests.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula I wherein the substituents are as defined in Claim 1, and the agrochemically acceptable salts and all stereoisomers and tautomeric forms of the compounds of formula I can be used as agrochemical active ingredients and can be prepared in a manner known per se.

Abstract: An insecticidal compound of formula (I) in which G1, G2, and G3 together with the two carbon atoms to which G1 and G3 are attached, form a non-aromatic 4- or 5-membered ring system; wherein G1 is sulfur, SO, SO2, oxygen, a direct bond, NRa or CR5aR5b; G2 is sulfur, SO, SO2, oxygen, a direct bond, NRb or CR5cR5d; G3 is sulfur, SO, SO2, oxygen, a direct bond, NRc or CR5eR5f; with the provisos that a) not more than 1 group G can be a direct bond, b) not more than 2 G groups can be oxygen, sulfur, SO or SO2 and c) when 2 G groups are oxygen, SO, SO2 and/or sulfur the two groups are separated by a carbon atom; each of Z1 and Z2, which may be the same or different, represents oxygen or sulfur; D is phenyl or a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring and R1a, R1b, R5a, R5b, R5c, R5d, R5e, R5f, Ra, Rb Rc, R2, R3 and R20 are specified organic groups and agronomically acceptable salts/isomers/enantiomers/tautomers/N-oxides of those compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of using certain compounds of formula (I), (II) and (III) in the synthesis of an insecticide intermediate of formula (IV), wherein the substituents are as defined in claim 1, to processes for preparing these compounds, to processes which use these compounds to prepare insecticide intermediates, and to certain novel compounds of formula (II?) and (III?).

Abstract: A compound of formula (I), wherein A1, A2, A3, A4, R1, R2, R3, G1, G2, G3 and Q are as defined in claim 1; or a salt or N-oxide thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to processes and intermediates for preparing compounds of formula (I), to insecticidal, acaricidal, molluscicidal and nematicidal compositions comprising them and to methods of using them to combat and control insect, acarine, mollusc and nematode pests.
