Novel phenyl derivatives of formula I useful for the control of insects and novel intermediates.

Phenolic ethers

Aliphatic hydrocarbon tri-olefinic and substituted aliphatic di-olefinic halides, and derivatives thereof, intermediates therefor, syntheses thereof, and the control of insects.

Alkoxy substituted aliphatic di-olefinic halides

Aliphatic di-unsaturated esters and acids, and derivatives thereof, substituted with thiol (mercapto) or hydrocarbon thio group useful for the control of insects.

Novel products

Sterospecific synthesis of an attractant for the codling moth by reacting sorbic aldehyde with an organo-metallic reagent to yield a 1-ether of trans-8-trans-10-dodecadiene-1,7-diol which is reduced via a 7-sulfonic acid ester to yield an ether of trans-8-trans-10-dodecadiene-1-ol and hydrolyzed to trans-8-trans-10-dodecadien-1-ol. ##SPC1##

Synthesis of codling moth attractant

Aliphatic hydrocarbon substituted aliphatic diolefinic ketones, and derivatives thereof, intermediates therefor, syntheses thereof, and the control of insects.
