Abstract
An analog of allethrin with the propargyl group replacing the allyl group as the side chain of the ketoalcoholic component was 64% as toxic as allethrin and 195% as toxic as pyrethrins to house flies ( Musca domestica L .) by the turntable method. An analog with the phenyl group replacing the isobutenyl group of the acid component was 41% as toxic as allethrin and 120% as toxic as pyrethrins; however, it was only 34% as toxic as the corresponding isomeric form of allethrin.Keywords
