  • Patent number: 7674936
    Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of Formula I, their N-oxides and agriculturally suitable salts wherein J is a phenyl ring, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring or an aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused carbobicyclic or heterobicyclic ring system wherein each ring or ring system is substituted with from one to four substituents independently selected from R5; K is —NR1C(=A)-, —N?C(GR6)— or —NR1SO2—; L is —C(?B)NR2—, —C(GR6)?N—, —SO2NR2—, —C(?B)O— or —C(?B)—; and A, B, G, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and n are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are methods for controlling invertebrate pests comprising contacting the pests or their environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I and compositions containing the compounds of Formula I. Intermediate compounds useful in preparing the compounds of Formula I are also disclosed.
