- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein
- m and p are 0;
- n is 2 to 10;
- R is naphthyl or substituted naphthyl;
- R.sup.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or amino; and
- R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.7, and R.sup.8 are hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkylcarbonyl, or lower alkoxycarbonyl.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein
- m and p are 0;

- R is naphth-1-yl;
- R.sup.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or amino;
- R.sup.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkylcarbonyl, or lower alkoxycarbonyl; and
- R.sup.3, R.sup.7, and R.sup.8 are hydrogen, lower alkylcarbonyl, or lower alkoxycarbonyl.
- 4. The composition of claim 3 wherein V, X, and Y are all chloro or all methyl, and the remaining substituents are hydrogen.
- 5. The composition of claim 1 where R is naphthyl.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the insecticide is 2,4-diamino-5-[3-(naphth-1-yl)propyl]pyrimidine.
- 7. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the locus where control is desired an insecticidal amount of the composition of claim 1.
- 8. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the locus where control is desired an insecticidal amount of the composition of claim 2.
- 9. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the locus where control is desired an insecticidal amount of the composition of claim 3.
- 10. A method for controlling insects which comprises applying to the locus where control is desired an insecticidal amount of the composition of claim 4.
