Methoxyfenozide CAS 161050-58-4

What is Methoxyfenozide CAS 161050-58-4?

Methoxyfenozide CAS 161050-58-4 is a selective insect growth regulator belonging to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides. It functions as an ecdysone receptor agonist that mimics the natural insect molting hormone, causing larvae to prematurely initiate the molting process, which ultimately leads to death. The compound is particularly effective against Lepidopteran pests and is widely used in modern crop protection programs because of its high specificity and relatively low toxicity to mammals and beneficial insects.

Specification

Feature

• High Reactivity: It acts as an excellent nucleophile, readily reacting with carbonyl groups and electrophiles to form hydrazones and other derivatives.
• Synthetic Versatility: The molecule functions as a key precursor for the construction of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles.
• Good Solubility: It is generally soluble in water and polar organic solvents like ethanol, facilitating its use in diverse liquid-phase reaction environments.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a critical intermediate in the production of drugs, particularly in the development of antimicrobial and antitubercular agents.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the creation of active ingredients for pesticides and herbicides to enhance crop protection.
• Chemical Research: Utilized in laboratory settings for the derivatization of aldehydes and ketones and as a reagent in peptide chemistry.
