A number of reviews, papers, and one book of theoretical and synthetic interest have appeared in recent years on various aspects of nitroso chemistry. The work of Turney and Wright [1], Touster [2], Gowenlock and Luttke [3], Hamer et al. [4], Ogata [5], Dietrich and Crowfoot Hodgkin [6], Ridd [7], Griffis and Henry [8], Theilacker [9], Cook [10], Boyer [11], Feuer [12] and Hoffmann and Woodward [13] represents a selection of pertinent material. The reader is directed particularly to Gowenlock and Luttke [3].

In 1978, at a lUPAC conference in Zurich, Samuel Barney Soloway from the Shell organisation reported on the insecticidal activity of nitro-substituted ket-ene aminals. These compounds resulted from syntheses around 2-(dibromoni-tromethyl)-3-methylpyridine, a molecule, which Henry Feuer at Purdue University had submitted for screening at Shell in 1970. Nithiazine turned out to be the most active representative of this series, and was selected as a development candidate. However, due to its photolabUity, the compound never reached the market, except as the active ingredient in a flytrap. Additional structure variations at Shell led, among others, also to l-benzyl-3-methyl-2-(nitromethylene) imidazolidine, a compound almost devoid of activity.
