CAS 873423-07-5: 1-Oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one,4-hydroxy-3-[4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl]-

Spiromesifen-alcohol-4-hydroxymethyl is a selective miticide, which is a derivative of spiromesifen. This compound is sourced from novel chemical synthesis approaches focusing on the manipulation of chemical structures to improve efficacy and selectivity. The mode of action of Spiromesifen-alcohol-4-hydroxymethyl centers on disrupting the lipid biosynthesis pathway within target mites and whiteflies. By inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase, it leads to impaired energy storage and membrane biosynthesis, ultimately causing the mortality of these pests. The primary application of Spiromesifen-alcohol-4-hydroxymethyl is in the domain of agricultural crop protection. It is utilized predominantly for controlling mite and whitefly infestations in a variety of crops, such as vegetables, ornamentals, and fruits. Given its specificity, it serves as a critical component in integrated pest management programs where minimizing the impact on non-target organisms and resistance management are essential. The compound’s efficacy across different stages of the pest life cycle, especially in larval and nymphal stages, underscores its value in proactive pest control strategies.
