What is Hexaflumuron?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Hexaflumuron is an N-acylurea that is urea in which a hydrogen attached to one of the nitrogens is replaced by a 2,6-difluorobenzoyl group, while a hycrogen attached to the other nitorgen is replaced by a 3,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenyl group. It is a dichlorobenzene, an organochlorine insecticide, an aromatic ether, a benzoylurea insecticide, an organofluorine insecticide and a N-acylurea.
