Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for chiral resolution of enantiomers of acetamiprid. Background Technology
[0002] The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) defines pesticides as chemical substances used to control pests, including single or mixed formulations of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and disinfectants. In recent years, of the pesticides widely used to ensure high crop yields, only a small portion are effective against target organisms; the majority of pesticide residues enter the environment, polluting soil and water bodies, leading to long-term exposure of humans and other organisms to low doses of pesticides. With increasing environmental and health awareness, research on the environmental behavior of pesticides is receiving growing attention. Chiral pesticides, as a special class of pesticides, have attracted significant attention. Currently, approximately 40% of commercially available pesticides have chiral structures, but most are still used in racemic form. Because chiral enantiomers can exhibit significant differences in environmental behavior, biological activity, and toxicity, racemic pesticides not only have low utilization rates but may also increase environmental risks and pose a potential threat to non-target organisms. Therefore, studying chiral pesticides at the enantiomer level is of great significance for developing environmentally friendly, highly efficient, and low-toxicity optically pure monomeric pesticides.
[0003] Buturon was developed and introduced to the market by Bayer AG of Germany in 1965 for pre- and post-emergence weed control in cereal and corn fields. Currently, there are no literature reports on the bioactivity, toxicity, and environmental risks of the R and S enantiomers of buturon. Therefore, establishing a chiral resolution method for buturon enantiomers is particularly important for further research.
