Definitions

  • This invention relates to benzyl chrysanthemumates.
  • this invention relates to insecticidally active esters of certain benzyl compounds and chrysanthemumic acid, which acid is also referred to as 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylpropenyl) cyclopropanecarboxylic acid.
  • pyrethrins the active principal of pyrethrum flowers (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium).
  • Pyrethrins (which may be described as esters of chrysanthemumic acid) have a high order of insecticidal activity, a low mammalian toxicity, and a range of desirable biological properties including rapid knock-down effect.
  • the relatively high cost and the uncertain supply (due to economic and political factors) of pyrethrins have encouraged attempts to prepare synthetic insecticides which retain the desirable properties of pyrethrins.
  • much research effort has been directed toward preparing compounds which have a structural similarity to pyrethrins; that is, such compounds are esters of chrysanthemumic acid.
  • each R and R is hydrogen, alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 2-6 carbon atoms, bromo, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitroor sulfoxy; and R is hydrogen, alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 2-6 carbon atoms, bromo, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, sulfoxy, or SO R wherein R is alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms, phenyl, pnitrophenyl, chlorophenyl, dichlorophenyl, or alkylphenyl, wherein the alkyl has l-6 carbon atoms; provided that when R is hydrogen or methyl, each R and R is alkyl having 2-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 2-6 carbon atoms, bromo, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, or sulfoxy.
  • Another embodiment of this invention provides an insecticidal composition
  • an insecticidal composition comprising (A) an insecticidally effective amount of a benzyl chrysanthemumate having ice the above general-structure and (B) a solvent for the benzyl chrysanthemumate.
  • Another embodiment of this invention provides a process for killing insects, wherein said process comprises contacting said insects with an insecticidally efiective amount of a benzyl chrysanthemumate having the above general structure.
  • alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, and n-hexyl;
  • alkoxy having 2-6 carbon atoms includes ethoxy, propoxy, pentoxy, and hexoxy;
  • alkyl having 2-6 carbon atoms includes ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl,secbutyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, and n-hexyl.
  • chrysanthemumic acid will be understood to include the various isomers of such acid.
  • An especially preferred isomer is d-trans chrysanthemumic acid.
  • the compounds of this invention are named as benzyl chrysanthemumates. for example:

  • composition contains from about .01 to about 20 percent, by weight, of a benzyl chrysanthemumate of this invention.
  • a preferred amount is from about 0.1 to about 15 percent.
  • Minor amounts of other substances may be added to the insecticidal compositions of this invention in order to provide particular functional or esthetic effects.
  • examples of such substances are perfumes, corrosion inhibitors, buffering agents, wetting agents, ultraviolet radiation absorbers, fillers, flame retardants, antioxidants, emulsifiers, and disinfectants.
  • the insecticidal compositions of this invention may be formulated in a number of ways to permit convenient application by the user.
  • pressurized compositions may be formulated wherein the composition in the container is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, a water-in-oil emulsion, or a solution.
  • Such pressurized compositions may be prepared to give space sprays or surface sprays.
  • Pressurization can be accomplished with propellants known in the art, including liquifiable hydrocarbons (such as propane, butane, and isobntane), liquifiable fluorinated alkanes (such as dichlorodifl'uoroethane, difiuoroethane, and tetrafluoroethane) and compressible inert gases (such as nitrous oxide, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide).

  • liquifiable hydrocarbons such as propane, butane
  • Pressurized solvent compositions may be prepared by dissolving the benzyl chrysanthemumate in a suitable solvent (such as acetone, ethanol, naphtha, kerosene, or mineral spirits) and then pressurizing with one of the above propellants.
  • a suitable solvent such as acetone, ethanol, naphtha, kerosene, or mineral spirits
  • Pressurized oil-in-water compositions may be prepared by emulsifying the benzyl chrysanthemumate and any other hydrophobic components in water and then pressurizing with one of the above propellants.

  • EXAMPLE 1 An insecticidal composition is prepared by dissolving 0.1 gram of p-fluorobenzyl chrysanthemumate in 10 ml. of ethanol. Bioassays that establish the female housefly mortalities are conducted by applying 0.5 microliters of the composition on the insects ventral abdomen. Each test is replicated twice with 25 female housefles that have been anesthetized with carbon dioxide. Mortality readings are recorded 24 hours after the initial treatment. By this procedure, a compound is considered insecticidal if the LD is 10 or less.
