537,815. Esters ; insecticides. ROHM &; HAAS CO. Oct. 2, 1939, No. 27025. Convention date, Nov. 8, 1938. [Class 2 (iii)] [Also in Group VI] Esters of unsubstituted glycols or polyalkylene glycols, in which one hydroxyl group is esterified with a monocarboxylic acid containing at least four carbon atoms and the other is replaced by a thiocyano radicle, are made by heating the monocarboxylic acid ester of a halohydrin with a thiocyanate. The monocarboxylic ester of the halohydrin may be prepared by esterifying the glycol (1 mol.) with the acid (1 mol.) and treating the product with phosphorus trichloride, by reacting a halide of the acid with an alkylene oxide or halohydrin, by reacting the sodium salt of the acid with an alkylene dihalide, or by esterifying the acid with a halohydrin. The replacement of the halogen atom by a thiocyano group may be effected by heating with excess of an anhydrous inorganic thiocyanate in the presence or absence of an anhydrous solvent, e.g. methyl isobutyl ketone, copper or sodium .iodide being used as a catalyst if desired. The monocarboxylic acids may be aliphatic, aromatic, arylaliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic, the following being specified : butyric, isobutyric, crotonic, α-ethylbutyric, capric, caprylic, lauric, α-ethyl-hexoic, myristic, naphthenic, benzoic, benzyloxybenzoic, salicylic, clupanodonic, chlorobenzoic. phenylacetic, abietic, campholic, naphthylacetic, tetrahydronaphthylacetic, fluorobenzoic, oleic, linoleic, eloidic, ricinoleic, octyloxyacetic, caprylphenoxyacetic, cyclohexyloxyacetic, m-nitrobenzoic, benzoylbenzoic, acetoacetic, undecylenic, stearic, eleostearic, palmitic, and commercial fatty acid mixtures, e.g. coco-nut oil fatty acids, mixtures obtained by oxidation of petroleum, and tall oils. As glycols, ethylene, propylene and butylene glycols, 1 : 10-decanediol, and diethylene ; triethylene and dibutylene glycols are specified. In examples products are obtained from (1) ethylene chlorhydrin, sodium thiocyanate and (a) furoic acid, (b) benzoic acid, (c) lauric acid, (d) technical coco-nut oil acid, (e) a commercial mixture of fatty acids obtained by oxidation of petroleum, and (f) naphthenic acid, (2) sodium isobutyrate is heated with #: #<;SP>;1<;/SP>;-dichlorodiethyl ether, and the product heated with sodium thiocyanate, and (3) the sodium salt of coco-nut oil acid is heated with #: #<;SP>;1<;/SP>;-dichlorodiethyl ether, and the product heated with sodium thiocyanate. The products are useful as insecticides ; they may be dissolved in kerosene to produce insect sprays, or mixed with talc to produce insecti- .cidal dusting powders. They may also be dissolved in a light oil and emulsified in water to produce agricultural sprays. They may be used in admixture with other toxic materials, such as other organic thiocyanates, rotenone, derris extract, pyrethrum, nitro-substituted phenylbenzyl ethers, or nitro-substituted diphenyl ethers.
