Since the discovery of permethrin (l) and its bromo analogue (2), interest in the structural modifi­ cation of natural pyrethroids has been renewed owing to their potential use as agricultural pesticides as well as household insecticides. The reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with 1,1-dichloro-4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene was originally used by Farkas (3) in the synthesis of the acid moiety of permethrin. Most of the acid moi­ eties, however, were usually prepared by the ozonolysis of the parent chrysanthemate followed by conden­ sation of the resulting 2-formyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (caronaldehyde) with appropriate Wittig reagents (4,5) .

We have developed a new and generally applicable meth­ od for the preparation of these potentially useful synthetic pyrethroids. The method is based on the reaction between a l l y l i c alcohol and orthoester to produce γ-unsaturated carboxylate, followed by the addition of carbon tetrahalide to the double bond, or a l l y l i c bromination with N-bromosuccinimide. The dehydrolhalogenation of the resulting halides afforded the desired cyclopropanecarboxylates. Synthesis of the Dihalovinyl Analogues of Chrysanthe­ mate The condensation of 3-methyl-2-butenol
