Synthesis of cyfluthrin

Yang Zhao-hui

Abstract

Cyfluthrin synthesis methods are discussed by comparing two different synthesis routes. Beginning withfluorobenzaldehyde, cyfluthrin was synthesized by bromination, acetalation, etherification, hydrolysis, andesterification, with a total yield of 45%. This process features the advantages of ready availability of reactants and fewreaction steps.
