Triflumezopyrim is an extremely effective and environmentally benign hopper insecticide with excellent safety to non-target organisms including pollinators. This unusual class of chemistry targets the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, inducing a physiological action which is distinct from that of neonicotinoids. The discovery, synthesis and biological results will be presented.
