Abstract

The discovery that a compound containing the 3, 4-methylenedioxyphenoxy group produces a greater degree of synergism with pyrethrins than the corresponding compound containing a 3, 4-methylenedioxyphenyl group, as in sesamolin and sesamin, led the author to synthesize new compounds containing the methylenedioxyphenoxy group as candidate synergists. This paper describes the preparation and properties of 66 of these compounds ...
