Usage

Uses

Used in Pest Control Industry:
Furamethrin is used as an insecticide for the control of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Its application is crucial in reducing the spread of yellow fever and other mosquito-borne diseases, as it targets the mosquito's nervous system, causing paralysis and death. This helps to break the transmission cycle of the disease and protect human populations from infection.
In addition to its primary use against Aedes aegypti, Furamethrin may also be effective against other mosquito species and various other insects, making it a versatile tool in the pest control industry. However,

Synthesis of the insecticide prothrin and its analogues from biomass-derived 5-(chloromethyl)furfural

Prothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, was synthesized from the biomass-derived platform chemical 5-(chloromethyl)furfural in six steps and overall 65% yield. Two structural analogues of prothrin were also prepared following the same synthetic approach. Preliminary testing of these furan-based pyrethroids against the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti indicates promising insecticidal activities.
