CAS Number: 18509-18-7
2,6-Difluorobenzamide is a fluorinated aromatic amide widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of modern agrochemicals, particularly benzamide-class insecticides such as diflubenzuron. Its unique difluoro substitution pattern on the benzene ring enhances metabolic stability and biological activity in target pest species.
