Abstract
A process for isomerizing 2-(.beta.,.beta.-dichlorovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid represented by the formula, ##STR1## which comprises heating the acid of the formula (I) in the presence of the anhydride of the acid or a reagent producing the acid anhydride in the reaction system. The ester resulting from 2-(.beta.,.beta.-dichlorovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and, for example, 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol is a compound which has a very wide range of insecticidal spectrum and has a very high controlling effect as a low-toxicity insecticide not only for domestic use and public health but also against insects injurious to agriculture or forestry, and in the case of the 3-phenoxybenzyl ester or 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl ester of the 2-(.beta.,.beta.-dichlorovinyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, the trans-isomer is lower than the cis-isomer in toxicity to warm-blooded animals.
