Chrysanthemic acid (I, R = H) constitutes an acidic component of the pyrethroid, 1 which is effective as an insecticide. Among its four optical isomers, the naturally occurring d-trans isomer has the highest activity.

β¦ Synopsis
The most effective optical isomer (lR-cis) of permethric acid --(2_, R = H), a potent intermediate in the production of synthetic pyrethroid, was enantioselectively prepared. Certain kinds of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids are useful as acid components of synthetic pyrethroids.' Optically active form of such a compound produces the more selective insecticide, which is more active to the insects and less toxic to the mammals. Among these carboxylic acids are lR-trans-chrysanthemic -acid (1, R = H) and lR-cis-permethric acid,namely 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2---

Asymmetric induction was observed in the decomposition of diasoalkanes in the presence of certain chiral copper complexes. 1 We have applied this chiral carbenoid reaction to the synthesis of chrysanthemic acid\* (ea. 1). Systematic studies have been carried out to achieve an optical yield of 60-70$
