Silafluofen is a phenyl silane compound for pesticidal and chromatography research.is pest control agent compound, and pest control agent set.

ChEBI: An organosilicon compound that is dimethylsilane in which one of the hydrogens attached to the silicon is replaced by a 4-ethoxyphenyl group, while the other is replaced by a 3-(4-fluoro-3-phenoxyphenyl)propyl group.

Silafluofen is commercially synthesised through a multi-step process involving the preparation of a fluoro-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, which is reacted with a propyl halide to form the fluoro-phenoxypropyl moiety. This intermediate is then bonded to a dimethylsilane group via hydrosilylation or Grignard-type reactions, followed by coupling with an ethoxyphenyl derivative to complete the silafluofen molecule. The process requires precise control of temperature and moisture to maintain the integrity of the silicon-carbon bonds.

Contact and stomach action. Sodium channel modulator. Often repellant to insects.
