Abstract
A method for selecting the most effective arthropod repellent from stereoisomers of a compound, involving testing each stereoisomer of the compound for its effectiveness as an arthropod repellent against an arthropod of a particular genus and species, comparing the test results and selecting the most effective arthropod repellent stereoisomer from the stereoisomers of the compound, wherein the compound is a piperidine analog. A composition for repelling arthropods, containing a carrier material and an arthropod repelling effective amount of a stereoisomer of a compound, wherein said stereoisomer is selected by the above method. A method for repelling arthropods (e.g., or ) from a mammal, involving treating the mammal with an arthropod with the above repelling composition (e.g., containing (1S,2′S) stereoisomer of 1-(3-cyclohexen-1-ylcarbonyl)-2-methylpiperidine).
