N-[2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-D-valine (CAT: C000105) is an intermediate compound used in the synthesis of τ-Fluvalinate, a synthetic pyrethroid acaricide. τ-Fluvalinate is widely employed to control Varroa jacobsoni, a parasitic mite that infests honey bee colonies. The development of τ-Fluvalinate and its intermediates like N-[2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-D-valine is essential for the apiculture and agriculture industries, as it helps protect honey bee populations from the harmful effects of mite infestations.
