Abstract

Many of the 53 bromoacetates synthesized and tested as nematocides against Rhabditis sp. and Panagrellus sp. were found to exhibit high activity. About two thirds of the esters gave tan ID95 of less than 20 ppm, and about one half less than 10 ppm Some were effective at the 1-ppm level, most of these being esters of straight-chain alcohols having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The effect of structural variations in the alcohol portion of the ester is discussed. ...
