The present invention relates to derivatives of compounds which are known to be of use in the field of agriculture. These derivatives are differentiated from the parent active compound by virtue of being redox derivatives of the active compound. This means that one or more of the functional groups in the active compound has been converted to another group in one or more changes one or more of which may be considered to represent a change of oxidation state relative to the groups in the original compound. We refer to these compounds generally as redox derivatives. The compounds are of use as insecticides, herbicides and insect repellents.

- PRODUCTION PROCESS OF GAMMA-CYHALOTHRIN
-
A process for the preparation of gamma-cyahlothrin comprising a) chlorinating 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid to give 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride; b) esterifying 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride with 3-phenoxy benzaldehyde in the presence of a source of cyanide to form a diastereoisomeric mixture of cyhalothrin isomers and c) epimerising the diastereoisomeric mixture under conditions in which the least soluble diastereoisomer crystallises from solution.

- PROCESS FOR PRPARING GAMMA-CYHALOTHRIN
-
A process for the preparation of gamma-cyhalothrin comprising steps of a) chlorinating 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-l-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid to give 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-l-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride and b) esterifying 1R cis-Z 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-l-propenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride with the (S)-cyanohydrin of 3-phenoxy benzaldehyde (III).

- Process for the preparation of pyrethroid type ester compounds
-
The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of insecticidally active esters of the general formula (I) STR1 wherein R1 and R2 are the same or diferent from each other and represent a hydrogen or a halogen atom; R3 represents STR2 (wherein R4 and R5 represent a chlorine or bromine atom or a methyl group when R4 is identical to R5, but R4 represents a chlorine or bromine atom or a methyl group and R5 represents a trifluoromethyl group when R4 is different from R5, and R6 represents a halogen atom or a difluoromethoxy group); and R8 represents a hydrogen or a cyano group. The characteristic of the present invention is a one-step procedure comprising directly condensing an organic acid, an aldehyde (and a water-soluble cyanide) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and a water-soluble inorganic base by the use of a sulphonyl compound as a condensing reagent.

- Cyanophenoxybenzyl amines
-
The invention concerns novel compounds of the formula I STR1 wherein A, B, D and E are chosen from hydrogen, halogen, C1 to C6 alkyl, C1 to C6 haloalkyl and C1 to C6 alkoxy and Z is a tertiary or quaternary amino group. The compounds are useful intermediates for the preparation of pyrethroids. In further embodiments the invention provides processes for the preparation of the compounds of formula I and processes for the synthesis of pyrethroids utilizing the compounds of formula I.

- Preparation of esters
-
Certain alpha-cyano esters are prepared by reacting an acyl halide with an aldehyde in a substantially water-immiscible aprotic solvent and an aqueous solution of water-soluble cyanide salt in the presence of an amine or cryptate rate-promoting agent.

- Insecticidal perhaloalkylvinylcyclopropanecarboxylates
-
Perhaloalkylvinylcyclopropanecarboxylates having the general formula STR1 are disclosed wherein one of Y and Z is a perhaloalkyl group. Compounds in which R is hydroxy, halogen or lower alkoxy are novel intermediates for preparation of insecticidal esters in which R is --OR1 where R1 is a wide variety of alcohol residues. The insecticidal efficacy and preparation of the compounds and intermediates therefor are described and exemplified.
