title: Tick repellents II: N-substituted azacyclopentanones and azacyclopentenones.
abstract: Several N-substituted azacyclopentanones and azacyclopentenones were synthesized and evaluated as repellents for the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Several of these compounds were more effective in our test system than were the standard repellents, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and butopyranoxyl.
