Chrysanthemic acid is an
allethrins, are esters of all four stereoisomers.[1] Staudinger and Ružička named chrysanthemic acid in 1924.[2]
Biosynthesis
Chrysanthemic acid is derived from its
dimethylallyl diphosphate.[3]
Industrial synthesis
Chrysanthemic acid is produced industrially in a
cis- and trans isomers, followed by hydrolysis of the ester:[4]
Many pyrethroids are accessible by re-esterification of chrysanthemic acid ethylester.
