Usage

General Description

S-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol is a chemical compound used prominently in the production of pesticides due to its insecticidal properties and it acts as a reciprocal in many pyrethroid pesticides. Belonging to the cyanohydrin class of compounds, it is typically created through the combination of 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde with hydrogen cyanide, followed by reduction to an alcohol group. It is uniquely characterized by the presence of a phenoxybenzyl group, a cyano group, and an alcohol group. As it is used in pesticides, it is also an environmental pollutant posing potential health risks, although its specific toxicological properties remain to be fully understood.
