INTRODUCTION
Permethrin is an insecticide in the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals that act like natural extracts from the chrysanthemum flower.
Manufacture
Permethrin is produced by condensation of 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol with (1RS)-cis/trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid.
| Synonyms | 3- (2,2-Dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (3 –phenoxyphenyl)-methyl ester; 3-phenoxybenzyl (1RS)-cis-trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate |
| CAS no. | 52645-53-1 |
| EINECS no. | 258-067-9 |
| Molecular formula | C21H20Cl2O3 |
| Molecular weight | 391.3 |
| Structure |  |
APPLICATIONS
Permethrin is used in agricultural, textile, food and pharma industries. Some of the key applications where it is used are:
| Insecticide |
|---|
| to protect crops & to kill livestock parasites |
| on structures and buildings, including livestock housing and food-handling establishments. Permethrin can also be used in numerous residential sites, both indoor and outdoor and on pets |
| to prevent insect attack on woollen products |
| in aircraft disinfection |
| Insect repellant |
|---|
| as a personal protective measure, permethrin is applied to clothing. It is a cloth impregnant, notably in mosquito nets and field wear. |
| while permethrin may be marketed as an insect repellent, it doesn’t prevent insects from landing. Instead, it works by incapacitating or killing insects before they can bite. |
| in pet flea preventive collars or treatment (safe for use on dogs but not cats) |
| in timber treatment |
| Medicinal |
|---|
| available for topical use as a cream or lotion |
| used for the treatment and prevention in exposed individuals of head lice |
| used as a medication in the treatment of scabies in humans and animals |

Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran complex, is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic reactions. It has a wide range of applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and other organic compounds
Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCL) is a unique form of vitamin B3. As a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a crucial coenzyme involved in various cellular processes, it has sparked interest in the realms of aging, metabolism, and overall cellular health.
Tetrachlorvinphos (popularly known as TCVP) is an agrochemical belonging to class of organophosphates. It is a non-systemic insecticide and acaracide having widespread uses in crop protection, public health, and animal hygiene.
Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) is a very fine free flowing powder that is white or off white in color and has almost no odor. Its property of insolubility is remarkable, with complete insolubility in most organic solvents, and even in water. It is a sodium salt of carboxyl ether of starch and is appreciated for its stability and binding properties.
3-([Ethyl(3-methylphenyl)amino]methyl) benzenesulfonic acid is an organic sulfonic acid, a white crystalline solid, which is widely used as a catalyst, acidifying agent, and a reagent in organic synthesis.
Sodium trifluoroacetate is a colorless organic solid belonging to category of fluoro compounds. It acts as a versatile trifluoromethylation agent in chemicals synthesis and is used to produce an array of chemical intermediates.
Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, also known as IPBC, is an antimicrobial ingredient commonly used in cosmetics. It appears as a white, crystalline powder. It is not a paraben; it belongs to a different chemical class called carbamates. It is soluble in both water and oil-based systems. IPBC was invented in the 1970s and has a long history of effective use as an antifungal technology.
Stevia extract with Rebaudioside A (98%) is one of the sweet tasting steviol glycoside, extracted and purified from Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) – a small perennial shrub also known as “Honey leaf”. The leaves of S. rebaudiana contain more than 30 different steviol glycosides, among which stevioside and rebaudioside A are present in the highest levels. It is non-nutritive and tastes approximately 200-300 times sweeter than sucrose.
Protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester, abbreviated PPMX, is an organic moiety belonging to category porphyrins. On exposure to light, PPMX releases reactive oxygen that can be used to destroy targeted cancer cells and thus it find applications largely in medicines.
