Synthesis process optimization and field trials of insecticide candidate NKY-312

Abstract NKY-312 is a highly active insecticide candidate with a simple structure. In order to carry out field trials and toxicity tests, its scale preparation is urgently needed, but the final step of the original synthetic route is a low-yielding sulfonylation reaction that generates a high propor...
