ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the preparation of cyclopropane carboxylic acid ester derivatives, which are useful as pesticides.
There is provided a process for preparing a mixture of cis-isomers of a compound of formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from chlorine, bromine and methyl, consisting predominantly of the 1R cis S- and 1S cis R- isomers, which process comprises dissolving a mixture of 1S cis S- and 1R cis R- isomers of the compound of formula I, alone or in the presence of 1R cis S- and 1S cis R-isomers, in an organic amine base containing from 5 to 7 carbon atoms and being a secondary amine containing two branched alkyl groups or a tertiary amine, crystallizing out from a resulting solution of cis- isomers of formula I in the organic amine base a 1:1 mixture of the 1R cis S- and 1S cis R- isomers, and evaporating off the organic amine base.
The process of the invention yields a product which may contain up to twice as much of the most active isomer of the compound of formula I as a racemic mixture of all four cis-isomers, and is a readily effected process which does not involve any sterospecific synthesis or optical resolution steps.
