Compounds of formula (I, II, or III), wherein X is OH; Y is OH, H, lower alkyl of one to six carbons or heteroatoms or F; Z and Z' are independently H, lower alkyl or QSi where Q is lower alkyl or aryl; n is 3&#x2013;50; n&#x2032; is 2&#x2013;50; A and B are independently a) alkyl of one to ten carbons or heteroatoms, b) aryl of four to ten carbons or heteroatoms, c) cyclic of three to ten carbons or heteroatoms, or moieties of the formulas (d, e, or f); R&#x2013;Rgroups are each independently hydrogen, alkyl of one to ten carbons or heteroatoms, aryl of 4 to 14 carbons or heteroatoms, arylalkyl of five to twenty carbons or heteroatoms; unsubstituted carbonyl or substituted carbonyl. Heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen, silicon or sulfur. At least one of A or B, or both A and B are d), e), or f). The compounds of formula (I) inhibit protease enzymes and can be used as pharmaceuticals. 

Silanol enzyme inhibitors

Compounds of formula (I, II or III), wherein X is OH; Y is OH, H, lower alkyl of one to six carbons or heteroatoms or F; Z and Z' are independently H, lower alkyl or QSi where Q is lower alkyl or aryl; n is 3-50; n&#x2032; is 2-50; A and B are independently a) alkyl of one to ten carbons or heteroatoms, b) aryl of four to seven carbons or heteroatoms, c) cyclic of three to ten carbons or heteroatoms, or moieties of the formulas (d, e, or f); R-Rgroups are each independently hydrogen, alkyl of one to ten carbons or heteroatoms, aryl of 4 to 14 carbons or heteroatoms, arylalkyl of five to twenty carbons or heteroatoms; unsubstituted carbonyl or substituted carbonyl. Heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen, silicon or sulfur. At least one of A or B, or both A and B are d), e), or f). The compounds of formula (I) inhibit protease enzymes and can be used as pharmaceuticals.

Heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen, silicon or sulfur. At least one of A or B, or both A and B are d), e), or f). The compounds of formula (I) inhibit protease enzymes and can be used as pharmaceuticals.

Compounds of formula I ##STR1## in which X is OH

The 1,4-diaryl-1-cyclopropyl-4-substituted butane pesticides of the following formula are effective as insecticides and acaricides: ##STR1## in which X and Y are independently hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkylalkoxy, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, alkylthio, haloalkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, trialkylamino, nitro, or cyano; or X and Y together are --OCH.sub.2 O-- or --OCF.sub.2 O-- bridging the 2-3 or 3-4 positions of the phenyl ring; Ar is 3-phenoxyphenyl, 4-fluoro-3-phenoxyphenyl, 6-phenoxypyridin-2-yl, or 2-methyl(1,1'-biphenyl)-3-yl;

1,4-diaryl-1-cyclopropyl-4-substituted butanes as insecticides and

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which Ar is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl, or thienyl; and Ar.sup.1 is 3-phenoxyphenyl, 4-fluoro-3-phenoxyphenyl, 2-methyl[1-1'-biphenyl]-3-yl, or 6-phenoxy-2-pyridyl, exhibit pyrethroid-like insecticidal and acaricidal activity and are relatively nontoxic to fish.
