Synthetic derivatives or intermediates of xylomollin are identified which can be used as insect feeding deterrents. The identified derivatives or intermediates exhibiting antifeeding activity include glutaraldehyde and carbocyclic or heterocyclic dialdehydes wherein the aldehyde groups are positioned on adjacent carbons of the carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings. The active compounds also include the hemiacetal hemiacetal equivalents, the acetal hemiacetal equivalents and the vinyl ether equivalents of the dialdehydes.
