3D-BAA72207 - 2-benzylaminophenylmethanol

4-Benzylphenylmethanol is a natural compound that belongs to the class of amines. It is found in pyrethrum, which is derived from plants of the genus Chrysanthemum. 4-Benzylphenylmethanol has been used as a supplement for insect control, usually as an additive to natural pyrethrins. This substance has been shown to be effective against insect species such as the German cockroach, the fruit fly, and the mosquito. 4-Benzylphenylmethanol also has insecticidal properties by preventing insects from breaking down the chemical bonds in their cell membranes. This allows for more rapid death of insects and lessens their ability to regenerate cells after contact with this substance.
