A process method for producing a pesticide by using carbon dioxide includes: weighing a 1,3-cyclohexanedione substrate 1(a-e), a catalyst and Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3 in a Schlenk bottle, degassing, and continuously introducing 1 atm of carbon dioxide; adding a solvent and reacting for 48 h in an oil bath at 50° C. After the reaction was completed, post-treatment was carried out to obtain a 2-carboxyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione compound 2(a-e). The obtained acid is acylated and then added dropwise to a dichloromethane solution containing aniline to react for 2 h at room temperature. After the reaction, column chromatography was performed to obtain a pesticide compound 3(a-e). Adding the pesticide compound 3(a-e) into 50% concentrated sulfuric acid and refluxing at 80° C. for 8 hours. Through separation, a pesticide product compound 4(a-e) was obtained. The process method is simple, with low requirements on equipment, wide sources of raw materials, low cost, low toxicity and easy industrial scale-up production.

A viscoelastic surfactant (VES) for a self-diverting acid under high temperature has a structural formula shown as formula (I), wherein, n is saturated hydrocarbon with 2 to 8 carbon atoms; R.sub.1 is saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon with 18 to 28 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently methyl, ethyl or hydrogen, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 can be the same or different; and X.sup.− is any one of Cl.sup.−, Br.sup.−, CO.sub.3.sup.2−, SO.sub.4.sup.2−, HCOO.sup.− and CH.sub.3COO.sup.−. The method for preparing the surfactant includes subjecting a fatty acid and an organic amine to acid-amine condensation to obtain an intermediate. The intermediate reacts with a metal hydride to obtain a fatty amine. Then, an acid solution is used to protonate the fatty amine to obtain an ultra-long-chain viscoelastic cationic surfactant. The present invention also provides use of the surfactant as a thickener for a self-diverting acid.
