Uses
2-Fluoro-??3-??(methylamino)??-??N-??[4-??[1,??2,??2,??2-??tetrafluoro-??1-??(trifluoromethyl)??ethyl]??-??2-??(trifluoromethyl)??phenyl]??-benzamide is an intermediate in the synthesis of Broflanilide (B677570), a pesticide for controlling animals and microbial pests such as unwanted insects. Broflanilide is a prominent insecticide because of it’s effective against pests with resistance to cyclodienes and fipronil. Broflanilide is metabolized to desmethyl-broflanilide that acts as a noncompetitive resistant-to-dieldrin (RDL) γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor antagonist.
