New Stereoselective Syntheses of Chiral Pyrethroid Insecticides
Abstract
S-bioallethrin 1a , b 1b, deltamethrin and tefluthrin 1a-d 1c are valuable insecticides, commercially available for domestic and agricultural uses against flying and soil insects respectively. These are unnatural esters of 2,2-dimethyl-3- vinyl cyclopropane carboxylic acids 2 whose active enantiomer belong to the (I R) - series. Whereas the former derivative possesses the trans -stereochemistry found in the natural pyrethrin 1 1a, the others possess a cis -relationship.
