Abstract
A series of di-(p-halophenyl) alkylcarbinols showed high specificity of action against red spider, mites, without plant damage under ordinary spraying conditions. The compounds appear to act as contact poisons. Di-(p-chlorophenyl) methylcarbinol is the most important member of the series because of its accessibility and low production costs; preliminary tests on rats indicate no greater toxicities than DDT. Physical properties, syntheses, analyses, and relation between structure and activity of these compounds are discussed.Keywords
