Guanidine derivatives, their production and insecticides

Novel processes for preparing 2-chlorothiazoles, useful as an intermediate for insecticides, from allyl isothiocyanate derivatives having the formula [II]: ##STR1## wherein X represents a leaving group, are simple and convenient reaction procedures under mild conditions without need of a large excess of a chlorinating agent. Further, processes for preparing 5-(aminomethyl)-2-chlorothiazole or salts thereof from the compound [II] achieve higher yields by simple, convenient and inexpensive procedures.

Process for the preparation of chlorothiazole derivatives

There is provided a pest control composition containing a compound represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are the same or different and independently mean a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted or a heterocyclic group which may be substituted and X means an electron attracting group or a salt thereof. The compounds are of minimal toxicity to man, domestic animals and fish and selectively display remarkable control effect on pests.
