A crystalline, optically inactive compound, each crystal comprising an equimolar mixture of the isomers (S)-(cyano)(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (1R,cis)-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and (R)-(cyano)-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (1S,cis)-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, its preparation by a cyclic crystallization/equilibration process, and its utility as an insecticide are described and exemplified.
