| Abstract: | The insecticidal activities against houseflies (Musca domestica L.) and mustard beetles (Phaedon cochleariae Fab.) of 29 new 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl 2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropane-carboxylates are compared with those of the corresponding chrysanthe-mate (bioresmethrin) to assess the influence of non-ethylenic and isobutenyl substituents at position 3 of the cyclopropane ring. Of the new groups investigated, only 3-methoxyiminomethyl gives equal or enhanced activity; 3-(2-furyl) esters are moderately effective, but 3-phenyl and 3-alkoxycarbonyl compounds show weak activity. A 3-(2,2,2-trihaloethyl) compound was more active than compounds with other saturated groups, such as isobutyl. |
