Abstract
3-[(E)-2-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid is a very important intermediate for tefluthrin, an insecticide controlling a wide range of soil insect pests in maize, sugar beet, and other crops (Punja 1981). A pyridine ring is often used as an active component in pesticide discovery (Elbert et al., 2000). The title compound, (I), contains both active parts and may show some insecticidal activity.
