This invention relates to improved catalytic process for the manufacture of copper phthalocyanine by allowing phthalic anhydride to react with urea and a copper compound, in the presence of a hydrophobic liquid (dispersing agent), characterized by the presence, along with the catalyst and the dispersing agent, of a promoter selected from particular classes of amides, imides, ureas, thioureas, guanidines, amines or sulphoxides.

Catalytic process for the manufacture of copper phthalocyanine

A method of fighting fungus infections by using compounds having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is H, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, an alkenyl, or an alkynyl radical; n is 1 or 2;

Cyanoacetamido-derivatives having a fungicidal activity

There are described compounds exerting an antidotal activity belonging to the classes of the 2-thiazolines-2-substituted and 2-oxazolines-2-substituted, useful in the defense of agrarian cultivations from the toxic action of non-selective herbicides. Utilization and preparation methods thereof are described as well.

Compounds exerting an antidotal activity for the defense of agrarian

Thiazoline compounds exerting an antidotal activity for the defense of

There are described 3-phenoxy-benzyl or .alpha.-cyano-3-phenoxy-benzyl esters of 2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylic acids substituted in position 3 by a dienic polyhalogenated chain, as well as their use as insecticides and acaricides. Moreover, there are also described the intermediates for their preparation and processes for their preparation.

Pyrethroids

Pyrethroid type insecticides described having the formula: ##STR1## wherein A=CF.sub.3 -C.dbd.C-, ##STR2## (X=H, F, Cl, Br: Y=Cl, Br) ##STR3## (group ##STR4## is bound to the hererocyclic ring in position 2 or 3) ##STR5## --CH.sub.2 --C.tbd.C--CH.sub.2 --R.sup.9 ; wherein:

Pyrethroid type insecticides are described having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 =H, CN, C.tbd.CH

Pyrethroid type insecticides are described having the formula: ##STR1## Compounds of general formula I are endowed with a high insecticide and acaricide activity.

Cyclopropanecarboxylic acids and esters are disclosed, having the formula: ##STR1## wherein A=CF.sub.3 --C.tbd.C--; ##STR2## X=H, F, Cl, Br; Y=Cl, Br; R=H, alkyl C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 Compounds of formula I are intermediates for the preparation of insecticide compounds of the pyrethroid type.
