A compound of formula (I):, where A is an ortho-substituted ring selected
from a number of specified rings; R.sup.1 is halogen, cyano, nitro,
C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 haloalkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy or C.sub.1-4
haloalkoxy or optionally substituted C.sub.2-4 alkenyl, optionally
substituted C.sub.2-4 alkynyl or optionally substituted SO2(C.sub.1-4
alkyl) (where the optionally substituted moieties may each have up to 3
substituents, each independently selected from halogen and C.sub.1-4
alkoxy); R.sup.2 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 haloalkyl, C.sub.1-4
alkoxy(C.sub.1-4)alkyl or C.sub.1-4 alkylthio(C.sub.1-4)alkyl or
[optionally substituted aryl](C.sub.1-4)alkyl- or [optionally substituted
aryl]oxy(C.sub.1-4)alkyl (where the optionally substituted aryl moieties
may each have up to 3 substituents, each independently selected from
halogen and C.sub.1-4 alkoxy); R.sup.3 is hydrogen,
CH.sub.2C.ident.CR.sup.4, CH.sub.2CR.sup.4.dbd.C(H)R.sup.4,
CH.dbd.C.dbd.CH.sub.2 or COR.sup.5 or optionally substituted C.sub.1-4
alkyl, optionally substituted C.sub.1-4 alkoxy or optionally substituted
(C.sub.1-4)alkylC(.dbd.O)O (where the optionally substituted moieties may
each have up to 3 substituents, each independently selected from halogen
and C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-2 haloalkoxy, hydroxy,
cyano, carboxyl, methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, methylsulfonyl and
ethylsulfonyl); each R.sup.4 is, independently, hydrogen, halogen,
C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 haloalkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy or C.sub.1-4
alkoxy(C.sub.1-4)alkyl; and R.sup.5 is hydrogen or optionally substituted
C.sub.1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, optionally
substituted C.sub.1-4 alkoxy(C.sub.1-4)alkyl, optionally substituted
C.sub.1-4 alkylthio(C.sub.1-4)alkyl or optionally substituted aryl (where
the optionally substituted moieties may each have up to 3 substituents,
each independently selected from halogen, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, C.sub.1-6
haloalkoxy, cyano, hydroxy, methoxycarbonyl and ethoxycarbonyl).
