The isobutylamides of 7-Phenylhepta-2,4-dienoic acid, 7-Phenylhepta-2,4,6-trienoic acid, and p-(2-Phenylethyl)benzoic acid

Abstract

7-Phenylhepta-2,4-dienoic acid and 7-phenylhepta-2,4,6-trienoic acid have been synthesized as their all-trans isomers. In addition p-(2-phenylethyl)benzoic acid has been prepared and the insecticidal activities of the isobutylamides of these three acids towards the housefly, Musca domestics, have been examined.
