What Are Pesticide Intermediates? What Are the Common Types?

Intermediates, also known as organic intermediates, are formed from cyclic compounds such as benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, etc. through reactions such as sulfonation, alkali melting, nitration, and reduction. For example, benzene is nitrated to nitrobenzene and then reduced to aniline, which can be chemically processed into dyes, drugs, vulcanization accelerators, etc. Both nitrobenzene and aniline are intermediates. There are intermediates formed by acyclic compounds such as methane, acetylene, propylene, butane, butene, etc. through dehydrogenation, polymerization, halogenation, hydrolysis, and other reactions. For example, butane or butene is dehydrogenated into butadiene, which can be chemically processed into synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber, etc., butadiene is intermediate.

1. What are the pesticide intermediates

Intermediates originally referred to the intermediate products produced in the process of synthesizing chemical products such as spices, dyes, resins, drugs, plasticizers, and rubber accelerators using coal tar or petroleum products as raw materials. Now it generally refers to various intermediate products obtained in the process of organic synthesis. Intermediates are divided into many categories, including pharma intermediates, pesticide intermediates, and so on. Pesticide intermediates are products produced by processing agricultural raw materials. They are an intermediate medium that combines two or more substances. Pesticide intermediates can be understood as synergists in pesticides, which are intermediate materials for the production of pesticides.

2. Common types of pesticide intermediates

Common types of pesticide intermediates are plant growth regulators: diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6), forchlorfenuron (KT-30), sodium nitrophenolate, 6-BA, cytokinin, sodium α-naphthalene acetate, 5 -Sodium nitroguaiacol, indole butyric acid, etc.
