2-(2,2-Dihalovinyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl)vinyl alkanoates in which the alkanoate moiety contains from two to six carbon atoms are new chemical compounds useful as intermediates in the preparation of certain pyrethroid acids. The alkanoates are prepared by reacting 2-(2,2-dihalovinyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl)ethanal with the appropriate alkanoic acid anhydride.

2-[2-(2,2-Dihalovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl ]vinyl alkanoates

New 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarbaldehyde dimethyl acetal derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is --CH.sub.2 OC(O)CH.sub.3, --CH.sub.2 OH, or --CHO are useful chemical intermediates for the preparation of pesticidally active cyclopropanecarboxylates.

2,2-Dimethylcyclopropanecarbaldehyde dimethyl acetal derivatives

2-(2,2-Dimethoxyethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarbaldehyde and 2-[2-(2,2-dihalovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl]ethanal dimethyl acetals are new pyrethroid intermediates. They are prepared from 2-(2-hydroxymethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl)ethanal dimethyl acetal.

Cyclopropane derivatives

New 2-(2,2-dihalovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropane derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein each Hal is a halogen atom and R is dimethoxyethyl, 2-acetyl-3-oxobutyl, 2-methoxycarbonylpropyl or 2-acetyl-2-hydroxy-3-oxobutyl, are useful chemical intermediates for the preparation of pesticidally active cyclopropanecarboxylates.

2-(2,2-Dihalovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarbaldehyde dimethyl acetal

2-(2,2-Dihalovinyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl)ethanal is a new chemical compound and useful intermediate in the preparation of certain pyrethroid esters. It is prepared by hydrolysis of 2-[2-(2,2-dihalovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl]ethylidene diacetate, preferably in the presence of an acid.
