Abstract
Of 68 synthetic organic compounds, most containing S, 24 equaled or exceeded nicotine in effectiveness against Culex larvae. Diphenylene oxide and diphenylene sulphide killed nearly 100% of the larvae in 5 hours at 1:200,000. Two new compounds were prepared, p-hydroxyphenylacetimido-thiophenyl-ether hydrochloride and phenylaeetimido-thio-p-tolyl-ether hydrochloride. The latter was probably the most; toxic of the 7 thioethers tested. It was effective against mosquito larvae at 1:100,000. Thiodiphenylamine (phenothiazine) killed the larvae at 1 :1,000,00.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
