Studies on Chrysanthemic Acid

Abstract
Seventeen rethronyl esters were prepared and their toxicities towards the housefly were measured and compared with those of allethrin or standard pyrethrin. As a result, a new acid component with a high activity, 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, was discovered and some information was obtained about the correlation between chemical structure and activity.
