New Data on Vanillin-Based Isothiazolic Insecticide Synergists.

By alkylation of vanillin with 4,5-dichloro-3-chloromethylisothiazole the corresponding ether was synthesized. The latter was then reacted with p-toluidine to afford the corresponding azomethine. During the bioassays of synthesized isothiazolic derivatives of vanillin in mixtures with insecticides (imidacloprid and a-cypermethrin) a strong synergetic effect was observed.
