EP 3 166 941 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 3 166 941 B1 Description [0001] The present invention relates to pesticidally active, in particular insecticidally active heterocyclic derivatives containing sulphur substituents, to intermediates for the preparation of those compounds, to compositions comprising 5 those compounds, and to their use for controlling animal pests (including arthropods and in particular insects or repre- sentatives of the order Acarina). [0002] Heterocyclic compounds with pesticidal action are known and described, for example, in WO 2012/086848 and WO 2013/018928. [0003] There have now been found novel pesticidally active heterocyclic 6/5-bicyclic ring derivatives with sulphur 10 containing phenyl and pyridyl substituents.

Compounds of formula I which have at least one acidic group can form, for example, salts with bases, for example mineral salts such as alkali metal 2 EP 3 166 941 B1 or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium, potassium or magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or an organic amine, such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower-alkylamine, for example ethyl-, diethyl-, triethyl- or dimethylpropylamine, or a mono-, di- or trihydroxy-lower-alkylamine, for example mono-, di- or triethanolamine. [0006] The alkyl groups occurring in the definitions of the substituents can be straight-chain or branched and are, for 5 example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, nonyl, decyl and their branched isomers.
