SivantoTM (common name: flupyradifurone) is a novel butenolide insecticide from Bayer CropScience AG for the control of a broad spectrum of sucking pests. As an insecticidal nicotinic acetyl receptor agonist, SivantoTM contains a new pharmacophore system responsible for its specific physicochemical properties and biological profile. Its chemical structure combines a new butenolide system in combination with a N-2,2-difluoroethyl side chain. The different chemical pathways to SivantoTM, its butenolide moiety and the fluorinated aliphatic side chain will be described.
