Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein the variables have the meanings as defined in the specification, to compositions comprising them, to active compound combinations comprising them, and to their use for protecting growing plants and animals from attack or infestation by invertebrate pests, furthermore, to seed comprising such compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the compounds of formula (I), and the N-oxides, stereoisomers, tautomers and agriculturally or veterinarily acceptable salts thereof wherein the variables are defined according to description formula (I). The compounds of formula (I), as well as the N-oxides, stereoisomers, tautomers and agriculturally or veterinarily acceptable salts thereof, are useful for combating or controlling invertebrate pests, in particular arthropod pests and nematodes. The invention also relates to a method for controlling invertebrate pests by using these compounds and to plant propagation material and to an agricultural and a veterinary composition comprising said compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing optically enriched isoxazoline compounds of formula (I), wherein the variables are as defined in the specification, and the shown enantiomer has at least 80% ee; by oxo-Michael addition of hydroxyl amine or its salt to an enone of formula (II), wherein the variables have the meanings given for formula (I), in the presence of a catalyst of formula (III) and a base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing benzylic amides of formula (I) wherein the variables are as defined in the specification, and the shown enantiomer has at least 50% ee; by condensation of a ketone o formula (II) with an acetyl compound of formula (III) in the presence of a catalyst of formula (IV) wherein the variables are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: The invention relates to glutarimide compounds of formula I, (I) wherein the variables have the meanings as defined in the specification, to compositions comprising them, to active compound combinations comprising them, and to their use for protecting growing plants and animals from attack or infestation by invertebrate pests, furthermore, to seed comprising such compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to succinimide compounds of formula I wherein the variables have the meanings as defined in the specification, to compositions comprising them, to active compound combinations comprising them, and to their use for protecting growing plants and animals from attack or infestation by invertebrate pests, furthermore, to seed comprising such compounds.
