Abstract: | Isobutyranilidoxime meta-phenoxybenzyl ethers and related compounds were synthesized. Their insecticidal activities measured against Periplaneta americana by injection were lower than that of phenothrin by factors of at least 1/60. However, some compounds were comparable to or only slightly less potent than phenothrin and tetramethrin in miticidal activity tested by a contact method against Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus and Tyrophagus putrescentiae. © 1998 SCI |
