Abstract

Certain sulfonamides derived from butanesulfonic acid are repellent to female Aedes uegypti mosquitoes. Exploration of the structure-activity relations revealed that the boiling point is the most important factor controlling duration of activity as topical repellents. Quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives were explored for their repellency, and amides were found less active than were esters, primarily due to their low volatility.
