Abstract
Abstract New insecticides are of general formula: ##STR1## where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 represent H or methyl, R 6 represents alkyl, alkoxy, halogeno or nitro or two R 6 groups together represent methylenedioxy, and R is a group forming insecticidal esters with chrysanthemic acid such as 5-benzyl-3-furylmethyl, 3-phenoxybenzyl or α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl. They are prepared by esterification methods.
