Insecticidal activity of 3‐isoxazolyl methanesulfonates and related compounds

摘要

AbstractVarious methanesulfonates, notably of 3‐isoxazolols, exhibit interesting insecticidal activity, especially against Musca domestica and Locusta migratoria. Although the symptoms of poisoning are very similar to those caused by parathion, no correlation between in‐vitro inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and insecticidal activity was observed. This is also true for several methanesulfonates of hydroxy‐heterocycles and phenols included in this study for compa
