Synthesis of ethophenprox analogs

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/bf02757439

The synthesis of ethophenprox analogs was performed by condensation of alcohols with benzyl halides under conditions of the phase transfer catalysis. The ultrasonic irradiation was shown to accelerate the reaction and to increase the yield of ethers. The trends in fragmentation of new generation pyrethroids under the electron impact were established. Insecticidal activity of the compounds obtained was evaluated.
