Propoxur, also known as Baygon, is a chemical compound that finds applications in chemical synthesis as a carbamate insecticide. In chemical synthesis, Propoxur is used as a key ingredient in the formulation of insecticidal products to control a wide range of pests such as cockroaches, ants, fleas, and ticks. The compound acts by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical for nerve function in insects, leading to paralysis and eventual death of the pest. Its effectiveness in disrupting the nervous system of target insects makes it a valuable tool in pest management strategies. Additionally, Propoxur is chosen for its low mammalian toxicity and relatively low environmental persistence, providing a balance between efficacy and safety in pest control applications.
