l-(i) Formula (10) -> Formula (12)
A m-nitrobenzoyl chloride derivative represented by formula (10) is reacted with an aromatic amine derivative represented by formula (11) in an appropriate solvent to produce a benzamide derivative represented by formula (12). In this step, an appropriate base can also be used. As the solvent, any solvent which does not significantly inhibit the progress of reaction can be used. Examples of the solvent include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons
such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride; chained or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane; esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; ketones such as acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; amides such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; nitriles such as acetonitrile; and inert solvents such as 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone. These solvents can be used alone or in a mixture of two ore more kinds. Examples of the base include organic bases such as triethylamine, tri-n-butylamine, pyridine, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine; alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; carbonates such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium carbonate; phosphates such as dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and trisodium phosphate; alkali metal hydrides such as sodium hydride; and alkali metal alcoholates such as sodium methoxide and sodium ethoxide. The base may be used in an appropriate amount in the range of molar equivalents of 0.01 to 5 times the amount of the compound represented by formula (10). The reaction temperature may be appropriately determined in the range of -20°C to the reflux temperature of the solvent used, and the reaction time may be appropriately determined in the range of several minutes to 96 hours. The m-nitrobenzoyl chloride derivative represented by formula (10) can be easily produced from a m-nitrobenzoic acid derivative by a conventional method using a halogenating agent. Examples of the halogenating agent include thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide, phosphorus oxychloride, oxalyl chloride, and
phosphorus trichloride. In a process for producing the compound represented by formula (12) using the m-nitrobenzoic acid derivative and the compound represented by formula (11) without using a halogenating agent, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole functioning as an additive, and N,N'-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide functioning as a condensing agent can be used according to the technique disclosed in, for example, Chem.

The insecticides containing the compounds represented by formula (1) of the present invention as active ingredients have a
significant preventive effect on the above-described insect pests noxious to lowland crops, dry field crops, fruit trees, vegetables, other crops, and flowering plants. The effect as the insecticides of the present invention can be achieved by treating paddy water, foliages or soil of paddy fields, dry fields, fruit trees, vegetables, other crops, or flowering plants before the breeding of noxious insects or at the time of obervation of the breeding of noxious insects at the predicted breeding season of noxious insects.
The insecticides of the present invention are generally formed into formulations suitable for use according to a normal method for formulating agricultural/Horticultural pesticides. Namely, a compound represented by formula (1) may be mixed with an appropriate inert carrier, and if required, an auxiliary at a proper proportion, and the resultant mixture is subjected to dissolution, separation, suspension, mixing, impregnation, adsorption or adhesion to form a suitable formulation such as a suspension, an emulsion, a liquid drug, a wettable powder, a granule, a dusting powder, or a tablet. As the inert carrier used in the present invention, either a solid or a liquid may be used. Examples of a material usable as the solid carrier include soybean flour, grain flour, wood flour, bark flour, sawing flour, tobacco stalk flour, walnut sHell flour, bran, cellulose powder, a residue after plant extraction, a synthetic polymer such as a synthetic resin powder, clay (for example, kaoline, bentonite, or acid white clay), talc (for example, talc or pyrophyllite), silica (for example, diatomite, silica powder, mica, white carbon (synthetic
high-dispersion silicate referred to as "hydrous silicate fine powder" or "hydrous silicate", some products containing calcium silicate as main components)), activated carbon, sulfur powder, pumice, calcined diatomite, brick powder, fly ash, sand, inorganic mineral powders such as calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate, chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonoium nitrate, urea, and ammonium chloride, and compost. These carriers are used alone or in a mixture of at least two kinds.
As a material usable as the liquid carrier, a material having a solvent ability or a material having no solvent ability but having an ability to disperse an active ingredient compound with the aid of an auxiliary is selected. Typical examples of the liquid carrier are given below, and these examples can be used alone or in a mixture of two more kinds. Examples of the liquid carrier include water, alcohols (for example, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, and ethylene glycol); ketones (for example, acetone, methylethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone); ethers (for example, diethyl ether, dioxane, cellosolve, diisopropyl ether, and tetrahydrofuran); aliphatic hydrocarbons (for example, kerosine and mineral oil); aromatic hydrocarbons (for example, benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha, and alkylnaphthalene); halogenated hydrocarbons (for example, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and chlorobenzene); esters (for example, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethyl propionate, diisobutyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and dioctyl phthalate); amides (for example, dimethylformamide,
diethylformamide, and dimethylacetamide); and nitriles (for example, acetonitrile).
Typical examples of other auxiliaries are given below, and these examples are used alone or in combination according to purposes. The auxiliary is not necessarily used. For example, a surfactant is used for emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing and/or wetting the active ingredient compound. Examples of the surfactant include

Examples of such auxiliaries include casein, gelatin, starch, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arable, polyvinyl alcohol, wood turpentine, bran oil, bentonite, xanthan gum, and lignin-sulfonate.
Another auxiliary for improving fluidity of a solid product can also be used. Examples of such an auxiliary include wax, stearates, and alkyl phosphates. Also, an auxiliary such as a naphthalenesulfonic acid condensate or condensed phosphate, can be used as a deflocculant for a suspending product. Furthermore, an auxiliary such as silicone oil can be used as a defoaming agent.
The compounds represented by formula (1) of the present invention are stable to light, heat and oxidation. However, an
appropriate amount of an antioxidant or an ultraviolet absorber, for example, a phenol derivative such as BHT (2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methyl phenol) or BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), a bisphenol derivative, an arylamine such as phenyl-α-naphthylamine, phenyl-p-naphthylamine, or a condensate of phenetidine and acetone, or a benzophenone compound, may be added as a stabilizer to produce compositions having a stable effect.

the present invention is directly used or properly diluted with water or suspended in water, and an effective amount thereof for preventing pests is applied to crops in which the breeding of the noxious insects is predicted, or a place where the breeding of the noxious insects is undesirable. The amount of the compound used depends upon the various factors, for example, the purpose, the object insects, the growth conditions of crops, the breeding tendency of insects, weather, environmental conditions, formulations, application methods, application places, and application times. However, the content of the active ingredient used is generally 0.0001 ppm to 5000 ppm, and preferably 0.01 ppm to 1000 ppm. The amount of the active ingredient per lOa is generally 1 g to 300 g.
