Description

3-Fluoro-5-methylbenzoic acid is a sulfilimine that has been shown to have insecticidal, functional, and biological activities. 3-Fluoro-5-methylbenzoic acid binds to the enzyme diamide reductase in insects, which prevents the production of toxic amines in insects. 3-Fluoro-5-methylbenzoic acid also inhibits the synthesis of anthranilic acid and organosulfur compounds in plants. This sulfilimine is structurally similar to other insecticides such as DDT and carbofuran. It is soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents.
