Abstract

Recent years have seen a rapid growth in the synthetic work on pyrethroids, a class of compounds structurally related to the naturally occurring chrysanthemates. 2 Pyrethroids in general possess high insecticidal activity3 while showing low mammalian t~ xicity.~ Among modern pyrethroids, the ester of halovinylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids were found to be the most promising insecticides owing to their extraordinarily high potency and considerably ...
