Claims
- 1. A compound having the formula ##STR29## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms and optionally unsaturated cycloalkyl and cycloalkylalkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms optionally substituted with at least one alkyl and the double bond in the 3-side chain has the Z geometry.
- 2. An antifungal and biocidal composition comprising a biocidally and antifungicidally effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 and a carrier.
- 3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the compound is (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3-[Z-2-(methoxycarbonyl)-ethenyl]cyclopropane-carboxylic acid.
- 4. A method of controlling fungus comprising contacting fungus with a fungicidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula ##STR30## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms and optionally unsaturated cycloalkyl and cycloalkylalkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms optionally substituted with at least one alkyl and the double bond in the 3-side chain has the Z geometry.
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the compound is (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3-[Z-2-(methoxycarbonyl)-ethenyl]-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid.
- 6. A method of combatting bacteria comprising contacting bacteria with a bactericidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula ##STR31## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms and optionally unsaturated cycloalkyl and cycloalkylalkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms optionally substituted with at least one alkyl and the double bond in the 3-side chain has the Z geometry.
- 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the compound is (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3-[Z-2-(methoxycarbonyl)-ethenyl]cyclopropane-carboxylic acid.
