摘要:
Twenty-seven carboxamide derivatives of (+/-)-cis-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (permethrin acid) have been synthesized and evaluated in the laboratory against mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti). These cis-cyclopropylcarboxamides, with N-(substituted)phenyl, N-(substituted)phenylmethyl, N-(substituted)phenylethyl, N-phenylpropyl, and N-phenylbutyl groups, were synthesized from the acid chloride of permethrin acid and various arylamines in methylene chloride. The samples were characterized by C-13 NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Secondary amides with electron-donating (e.g., methoxy) and electron-withdrawing (e.g., trifluoromethyl) substituents on the phenyl ring as well as nine tertiary amides were investigated. 3-(2,2-Dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-N-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methylcyclopropanecarboxamide was the most active experimental compound and was 25 times less potent than (+/-)-cis-permethrin. Cyclopropylcarboxamides of the N-(substituted)phenyl, N-(substituted)phenylethyl, and N-phenylpropyl types were essentially inactive in the larvicidal tests.
