- Isolation of cis-isomers from isomeric mixtures of cis/transcyclopropanecarboxylates
-
The treatment of isomeric mixtures of cis/trans -3-(2,2-dihalo-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters with excess base at elevated temperatures hydrolyzes the ester, dehydrohalogenates the side chain, and thereafter selectively converts the resulting unsaturated side chain of the corresponding trans-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid to an acetyl byproduct, from which may be readily separated and recovered an enriched concentration of the desired cis-2-halo-1-propenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, together with minor amounts of the corresponding transacid.

- Insecticidal (2,6-dimethyl-3-substituted phenyl)methyl cyclopropanecarboxylates
-
(2,6-Dimethyl-3-substituted phenyl)methyl cyclopropanecarboxylates and insecticidal compositions containing these esters are useful for the control of a broad range of insects and acarids.
