SUMMARY
Hazard alerts
The following Pesticide Hazard Tricolour (PHT) alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement. The alerts for Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) are based on applying the FAO/WHO (Type 1) and the PAN (Type II) criteria to PPDB data. Further details on the HHP indicators are given in the tables below. Neither the PHT nor the HHP hazard alerts take account of usage patterns or exposure, thus they do not represent risk.
PHT: Environmental fate
PHT: Ecotoxicity
PHT: Human health

GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
An insecticide for the control of various lepidopteran pests
Acts by ingestion. It interferes with the ryanodine-sensitive calcium release channels which lead to loss of muscle control and subsequent insect immobility. Ryanodine receptor modulator.

Formulation and application details
Typically formulated as a suspension concentrate for foliar application
Commercial production
Tetrachlorantraniliprole is commercially produced via a convergent synthesis. The key pyrazole acid intermediate, 3-bromo-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid, is prepared from 3-chloro-2-hydrazinylpyridine by condensation with diethyl maleate, bromination at the pyrazole 4-position, and hydrolysis. Separately, the anthranilic amide fragment is obtained by selective 5-chlorination of 2-amino-3-methylbenzoic acid followed by amidation with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine. The final step involves activation of the pyrazole acid (typically with methanesulfonyl chloride or oxalyl chloride) and acylation of the anthranilic amide in acetonitrile or ethyl acetate with a base such as pyridine or sodium bicarbonate.
