Method for producing cyclopropanecarboxylates

There is provided a method for producing a cyclopropanecarboxylate of formula (1): 1which comprises contacting a cyclopropanecarboxylate of formula (2): 2with a monohydroxy compound of formula (3):R7OH??(3)in the presence of a lithium compound of formula (4):R8OLi??(4),wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; R6 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group; R7 and R8 do not simultaneously represent the same and each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group.

Ester compounds

Ester compounds shown by the formula: wherein R1represents a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, C1-C3alkyl group optionally substituted by halogen atom(s), C2-C3alkenyl group optionally substituted by halogen atom(s), C1-C3alkoxy group optionally substituted by halogen atom(s), C1-C3alkylthio group optionally substituted by halogen atom(s) or (C1-C3alkoxy)methyl group optionally substituted by halogen atom(s), n represents an integer of 1 to 4 and X represents a hydrogen atom or C1-C3alkyl group, have excellent pesticidal activity.

Photosubstitution reactions on aromatic and heteroaromatic rings evidence for addition and substitution mechanism

Irradiation of a cyclohexane solution of hexafluorobenzene in the presence of benzophenone resulted in both, substitution and addition products. Similar photoreaction has been observed by irradiation of hexafluorobenzene in some alcohols in the presence of benzophenone. The reaction of pentafluorobenzene with methanol or cyclohexane resulted in the substitution of a 2-or 4-fluoro atom, while the reaction of pentafluoroanisole resulted in the formation of o-, m- and p-isomers. Irradiation of a cyclohexane solution or of an alcohol solution of octafluoronaphthalene yielded 1- and 2-substituted products. On the other hand, the photosubstitution of fluorine atom in pentafluoropyridine took place exclusively at the position four, thus forming 4-cyclohexyl or 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl) substituted products.
