Nitro-substituted heterocyclic compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl, Z is an optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heterocyclic groun containing at least one atom selected from N, O and S, A is optionally substituted ethylene or optionally substituted trimethylene, and B stands for 2 or 3 members of a heterocyclic ring which is formed, together with the adjacent C-atom and N-atom and at least one of said members may represent a hetero atom and may be optionally substituted, provided that when B stands for 3 members, two of which are carbon atoms and the other one is a nitrogen atom which is located in the middle of the three members, then at least one of said two carbon atoms must be substituted by a keto group. Such compounds being useful as insecticides.
There are disclosed 3 [2(substituted alkyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydropyridazin-6-yl]-2-aryl pyrazolo [1,5-a]-pyridines useful for treating maladies requiring an adenosine antagonist, and preparative processes.
The present invention relates to salts of imidazoline derivatives of the formula I ##STR1## in which R represents hydrogen or alkyl, Y represents nitro or cyano, W represents an optionally substituted 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic radical and Z represents one equivalent of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or of an [NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 ] grouping, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are identical or different and represent hydrogen, alkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl or optionally substituted benzyl, and to their preparation and their use as agents for controlling pests.
