Claims
- 1. A method of repelling cockroaches consisting essentially of applying to a locus to be protected an effective cockroach repellent amount, in a compatible liquid or solid carrier, a compound of the formula ##STR146## wherein R.sup.3 is one of the following groups: a. branched-chain alkyl having 3 to 9 carbon atoms;
- b. straight-chain alkenyl having 2 to 8 carbon atoms;
- c. branched-chain alkenyl having 3 to 8 carbon atoms;
- d. halogen-substituted straight-chain alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
- e. halogen-substituted branched-chain alkyl having 3 carbon atoms;
- f. halogen-substituted straight-chain alkenyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
- g. halogen-substituted branched-chain alkenyl having 3 carbon atoms; or
- h. alicyclic ring structure having 3 or 4 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or substituted with lower alkyl;
- wherein R.sup.4 is one of the following groups:
- a. C.sub.5 alkylene; or
- b. lower alkyl substituted C.sub.5 alkylene.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkenyl, and ##STR147##
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkenyl, and ##STR148##
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl, and ##STR149##
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl, and ##STR150##
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein R.sup.3 is ##STR151##
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkenyl, and ##STR152##
- 8. The method of claim 7 wherein R.sup.3 is ##STR153##
- 9. The method of claim 1 wherein R.sup.3 is a branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl, and ##STR154##
- 10. The method of claim 9 wherein R.sup.3 is ##STR155##
- 11. The method of claim 1 wherein ##STR156##
- 12. The method of claim 1 wherein ##STR157## wherein when x is lower alkyl, y and z are hydrogen and p is either hydrogen or lower alkyl; and when x is hydrogen, each of y, z and p is individually lower alkyl or hydrogen.
