Claims:
CLAIMS
1. A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I): wherein RI and R2, which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted C 1C6 alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C3C7 cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted 57 membered ring aryl, or unsubstituted or substituted 57 membered ring heteroaryl which contains one to four hetero atoms selected from O, N and S; or RI and R2 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent unsubstituted or substituted C3C7 cycloalkyl; which process comprises the direct oxidation of a nitro compound of formula (II) : wherein Rl and R2 are as defined above.
2. A process according to claim 1 wherein the reaction is performed in an aprotic solvent in the presence of air.
3. A process according to claim 1 or 2 in which the solvent is selected from dimethylsulphoxide, N, Ndimethylformamide, Nmethylpyrrolidone and sulpholane.
4. A process according to claim 1,2 or 3 in which a compound of formula (III): wherein: R6 is halogen, R3, C1C6 alkoxy, C1C6 haloalkoxy,S (O) mR3, cycloalkyl having from 3 to 7 ring carbon atoms, C2C6 alkenyl or C2 C6 alkynyl, or (CR4R5) qS (O) pR3 wherein p is 0,1 or 2 and q is 1 or 2; R3 is C 1C6 alkyl or C 1C6 haloalkyl; and R4 and R5 independently represent hydrogen, C 1C6 alkyl or C 1C6 haloalkyl; and n is zero or an integer from one to three; is prepared from a nitro compound of formula (IV): wherein R6 and n are as defined above.
5. A process according to claim 4 in which the compound of formula (IV) is prepared by the reaction of a compound of formula(V): wherein R6 and n are as defined in claim 4, and X represents halogen preferably chlorine or fluorine; with nitroethane and a base.
6. A process according to claim 4 or 5, in which further comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (III) with a compound of formula (VI): R7SH (VI) wherein R7 represents C 1C6 alkyl, to prepare a compound of formula (VII): wherein R6 and n are as defined in claim 4.
7. A process according to any one of claims 2 to 6 in which theNO2 group in the phenyl ring of formula (IV) is located at the 2position relative to the nitroethyl group.
8. A process according to any one of claims 2 to 7 in which R6 represents trifluoromethyl.
9. A process according to any one of claims 28 in which R7 represents methyl.
10. A process according to any one of the preceding claims which further comprises converting a compound of formula (I) into a pesticidal 4benzoylisoxazole compound.
