Industrial Applications

This compound serves exclusively as a synthetic building block in the agrochemical industry. Its primary application lies in the multi-step synthesis of organophosphorus insecticides, particularly Phosphamidon (CAS 13171-21-6). Due to its reactive β-dicarbonyl structure, N,N-Diethyl-3-oxobutyramide facilitates efficient halogenation and subsequent coupling reactions under controlled conditions.

  • Acts as a reliable precursor for α,α-dichloro derivatives in pesticide manufacturing
  • Ensures high yield and selectivity in industrial-scale syntheses
  • Complies with stringent quality standards for agrochemical intermediates

Stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, the product maintains stability during transport and handling. Standard packaging is 25 kg per drum, with custom options available upon request.
