[cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl] (2R)-2-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]-3-methylbutanoate

[Cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl] (2R)-2-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]-3-methylbutanoate is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with the molecular formula C26H22ClF3N2O3 and CAS number 102851-06-9. This complex organic compound has a molecular weight of 502.9 g/mol and belongs to the family of cyano-substituted pyrethroid esters. It is classified as moderately toxic and poses environmental hazards, particularly to aquatic organisms.

This pyrethroid compound is typically a solid at room temperature with low water solubility, characteristic of most synthetic pyrethroids. The molecule contains multiple aromatic rings, a cyano group, and trifluoromethyl substituent, contributing to its lipophilic nature. Its molecular structure includes chlorine and fluorine atoms which enhance its stability and biological activity. The compound's high molecular weight and complex structure result in low volatility and persistence in the environment.

This substance is primarily used as an active ingredient in insecticidal formulations for agricultural and professional pest control applications. As a synthetic pyrethroid, it acts on the nervous system of insects by disrupting sodium channel function. It may be incorporated into crop protection products, public health insecticides, or professional pest management solutions. The compound's effectiveness against a broad spectrum of insect pests makes it valuable for integrated pest management programs.

Safe handling requires appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection due to its skin irritant properties and acute toxicity classification. Work in well-ventilated areas and avoid generating dust or aerosols. Prevent skin and eye contact, and avoid inhalation. Use proper engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation when handling larger quantities. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking.

Store this substance in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly closed in original packaging to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Due to its aquatic toxicity, ensure storage areas have appropriate containment to prevent environmental release. Store separately from food, feed, and drinking water. Maintain storage temperatures as recommended by the supplier and ensure adequate fire prevention measures are in place.

In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes due to its skin irritant classification. For eye contact, flush immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If inhaled, move to fresh air and seek medical advice if symptoms develop. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Always consult a poison control center or physician for specific guidance.

Disposal must comply with local and national hazardous waste regulations due to its acute toxicity and environmental hazard classification. Contact licensed hazardous waste disposal companies for proper treatment and disposal. Never discharge to sewers, waterways, or soil due to its high aquatic toxicity (Aquatic Acute 1, Aquatic Chronic 1). Small quantities may require incineration at authorized high-temperature facilities. Always consult local environmental authorities for specific disposal requirements and approved disposal facilities.

Transportation is regulated under ADR classification as Class 6.1 (Toxic substances), Packing Group III, indicating moderate toxicity. Proper shipping names, hazard labels, and documentation must comply with dangerous goods regulations. Packages must meet UN specification requirements for packing group III toxic substances. Vehicles must carry appropriate emergency response information and drivers need ADR certification. Ensure packages are properly marked, labeled with GHS07 and GHS09 pictograms, and secured during transport.

This substance is subject to REACH regulation requiring registration for manufacture or import above one tonne annually in the EU. It must be classified and labeled according to CLP regulation with Warning signal word and appropriate hazard pictograms (GHS07, GHS09). As a pesticide active ingredient, it may require authorization under the Plant Protection Products Regulation. The substance is not currently identified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH, but users must comply with all applicable safety and environmental regulations.
