2,6-Difluorobenzamide

Description

2,6-Difluorobenzamide is a major metabolite of pesticide diflubenzuron and has been quantitated by HPLC/diode-array method.

Description

2,6-Difluorobenzamide is a white powdery crystal, insoluble in water. It can be obtained by hydrolysis of 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile. 2,6-Difluorobenzamide is an important intermediate in the synthesis process of benzoylurea insecticides, which is used to synthesize the next intermediate 2,6-difluorobenzoyl isocyanate, and finally obtain flubolurea, pyruron, fluridin, lice mite urea and other pesticide varieties. It can also be directly used to synthesize pyruron and flubolea. 2,6-Difluorobenzamide can inhibit the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ[1].

Chemical properties
