Abstract

Compounds of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein R1 represents --R3, --OR3 or --N(R3).sub.2, in which R3 is alkyl of 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; PA0 R2 represents alkyl of 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; and PA0 X represents --OR3, halogen, --CN, --SR4 or --N(R4).sub.2, in which R4 is alkyl of 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, which the proviso that at least one of R2 and R3 is a pheromone alkyl chain. Members of this class of compounds have been shown to exhibit outstanding activity in disrupting pheromone-mediated behavior of various insects, in particular moths.
