ABSTRACT
Three isomers of N, N-diethyltolylacetamides were synthesized and evaluated against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus for repellency and with mice for LD50, as an indicator of mammalian toxicity. Of these, N, N-diethyl-p-tolylacetamide (DEPTA) showed comparatively better repellency against C. quinquefasciatus. All the compounds showed higher repellency against C. quinquefasciatus than Ae. aegypti. In addition, N, N-diethyl-m-tolylacetamide (DEMTA) was found to be least toxic to mice.
