Tetrazolinone compounds and its use as pest control agents

Abstract

The present invention provides a tetrazolinone represented by formula (I) and a pest control agent comprising the same, and their use thereof. Formula (I) [wherein, Wrepresents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; Wrepresents a hydrogen atom, or a C1-C6 chain hydrocarbon group; Rand Rrepresent a halogen atom and the like; u is 0, 1, 2 or 3; the combination of E, G, X, Yand Zrepresents any one of the combinations of the following a and the like: a: a combination wherein E represents #—C(X)(Y)—O—N═C(Z)—, #—C(X)(Y)—S—N═C(Z)—, #—C(X)(Y)—O—N═C(Z)—O—CH—, #—C(X)(Y)—O—N═C(Z)—S—CH—, #—C(X)(Y)—S—N═C(Z)—O—CH—, #—C(X)(Y)—S—N═C(Z)—S—CH—, #—C(Z)═N—N═C(Z)—, #—C(X)═C(Y)—C(Z)═N—O—CH— or #—C(X)═C(Y)—C(Z)═N—S—CH—; G represents a C1-C6 chain hydrocarbon group, a (C1-C6 alkoxy)C1-C6 alkyl group, a (C1-C6 alkylthio)C1-C6 alkyl group {the C1-C6 chain hydrocarbon group, the (C1-C6 alkoxy)C1-C6 alkyl group, and the (C1-C6 alkylthio)C1-C6 alkyl group may have one or more substituents selected from Group S} or R-T-, Xand Y, which are identical to or different from each other, independently represents substituents selected from Group T, and Zrepresents a substituent selected from Group V.]
