tert-Butyl ((2,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)methyl)carbamate serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of neonicotinoid-like insecticides, particularly in the manufacturing of flupyradifurone. Flupyradifurone is a systemic insecticide that effectively controls sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and planthoppers by selectively targeting insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This provides broad-spectrum protection for agricultural crops like cotton, soybeans, and vegetables, with low toxicity to mammals. The intermediate is typically used in industrial synthesis processes, enabling the production of these crop protection agents for applications including seed treatments, soil drenches, and foliar sprays.
