Description

trans-S-Methoprene-Epoxide is a key chiral intermediate and metabolite of the insect growth regulator Methoprene. This compound matters for its role in the synthesis and analytical study of juvenile hormone analogs, which are critical for developing targeted insect control solutions. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and research institutions in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors for product development, quality control, and metabolic pathway studies.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical chiral building block for the synthesis of advanced insect growth regulators (IGRs) and juvenile hormone analogs.
• Metabolite Reference Standard: Used in environmental fate studies and residue analysis to track the degradation pathway of Methoprene.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in biochemical research investigating hormone signaling pathways and endocrine disruptors.
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a high-purity standard for HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS methods in quality control laboratories.
• Veterinary Product Development: Used in R&D for formulating insect control products in animal health.
• Public Health Insecticides: A component in the development of formulations for mosquito and fly control programs.
