Abstract: A novel process for the manufacture of geranyl chloride, a useful intermediate in the manufacture of compounds useful in controlling insects, which comprises reacting geraniol and chlorodimethylformiminium chloride to produce the desired product.
Abstract: Ferric chloride is removed from gas streams containing the same by passing the stream through a bed of activated alumina impregnated with potassium chloride or sodium chloride.
Abstract: New compounds having the formula: ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen or methyl and R.sub.1 can be selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, alkenyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl in which the substituents can be selected from the group consisting of halo, lower alkoxy, nitro, lower alkyl and thio-lower alkyl. The compounds are useful as fungicides, bactericides and algaecides.
Abstract: N,N-diethyl 2(.alpha.-naphthoxy)propionamide, ##STR1## a useful herbicide, is produced by reaction of .alpha.-naphthol with an excess of N,N-diethyl-.alpha.-chloropropionamide or -bromopropionamide in the presence of an excess of alkali metal hydroxide. Unreacted amide is removed by vacuum stripping. The haloamide reactant is preferably formed by reaction of .alpha.-chloropropionic or .alpha.-bromopropionic acid with diethylamine in the presence of phosphoryl chloride.

Abstract: Diphenyl ether amides having the formula ##SPC1##In which X is chloro or methyl; n is zero, one or two; Y is chloro or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.1 is hydrogen, alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkyl, thio-lower alkyl, or alkenyl; R.sub.2 is hydrogen, lower alkoxy-alkyl or lower alkanoyl; or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 taken together is ##EQU1## The compounds are useful as post-emergence herbicides, particularly as post-emergence, post-flooding herbicides, for use in connection with rice cultivation.
Abstract: The novel compound S-methyl-N-[4-(4'-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]thiolcarbamate, ##SPC1##Is useful as a post-emergence herbicide, particularly as a post-emergence, post-flooding herbicide for use in connection with rice cultivation.
Abstract: A method of controlling helminth infections in animals comprising orally administering to said animal an anthelmintically effective amount of a compound having the formula ##EQU1## in which X is sulfur or oxygen, R and R.sub.1 are independently lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, and R.sub.2 is lower alkoxy.
Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##EQU1## in which R is a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1 is lower alkyl. The compounds are selectively useful in controlling insects.
