The asymmetric chloronicotinyl insecticide, 1- [1- (6-chloro-3-pyridyl) ethyl] -2-nitroiminoimidazolidine, was prepared, and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers were determined by an X-ray analysis. The insecticidal activity against the housefly measured with metabolic inhibitors showed the (S) enantiomer to be slightly more active than the (R) isomer. Electrophysiological measurements on the American cockroach central nerve cord showed the compounds to elicite the impulses and subsequently blocked them. The neuroblocking potency of the (S) isomer was 5.9 μM, while that of the (R) isomer was as high as 73 μM. The molar concentrations required for 50% inhibition of the specific binding of [^3H] imidacloprid to the housefly head membrane preparation were respectively 0.19 μM and 0.95 μM for the (S) and (R) isomers. This enatioselectivity ratio was smaller than 35 for nicotine isomers but greater than 2 for epibatidine isomers.
