Isobutyranilidoxime meta-phenoxybenzyl ethers and related compounds we
re synthesized. Their insecticidal activities measured against Peripla
neta americana by injection were lower than that of phenothrin by fact
ors of at least 1/60. However, some compounds were comparable to or on
ly slightly less potent than phenothrin and tetramethrin in miticidal
activity tested by a contact method against Dermatophagoides farinae,
D. pteronyssinus and Tyrophagus putrescentiae. (C) 1998 SCI.
