The shortcomings of DDT [ l , l , l - t r i c h l o r o - 2 , 2 - b i s = (p-chlorophenyl )ethane] and other chlorinated hydrocarbons has stimulated research into the development of other broad spectrum insecticides that could provide high insecticidal activity combined with low mammalian toxicity and moderate persistence. Compounds related to natural pyrethrum (synthetic pyrethroids) have been developed in recent years that show promise of meeting these requirements. Natural pyrethrum (Fig. 1) i s an ester with synthetic variations of both the acid and alcohol portion of the molecule providing promising insecticides. Field studies indicate that Bioethanomethrin® [(5-benzyl3-furyl)methyl trans-(+)-3-(cyclopentylidenemethyl)-2,2dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] and FMC 33297 [m-phenoxybenzyl cis,trans-(±)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane= carboxylate] (Fig. 2), showed promise of controlling insects of certain vegetable crops. Consequently, we investigated methods of detecting their residues. We report here a direct method u t i l i z i n g gas chromatography and electron capture detection for FMC 33297. In addition, we developed a method based on derivatives of the alcohol and acid moieties of the saponified pyrethroid molecule for both pyrethroids (1). This latter method should work equally well with other synthetic pyrethroids (Fig. 3). The sample i s saponified, the alcohol moiety i s extracted with methylene chloride, the water portion i s then a c i d i f i e d , and the acid moiety i s extracted with methylene chloride. Trichloroacetyl chloride with pyridine i s used to form a trichloroacetate ester from the alcohol and trichloroethanol 1/ This paper reports the results of research only. Mention of a pesticide in this paper does not constitute a recommendation for use by the U.S. Department of Agriculture nor does i t imply registration under FIFRA as amended.
