Enable an agent to recognise cyphenothrin, assess the identity and condition of a specific material, and determine which handling or use decisions have adequate evidence.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Match cyphenothrin to CAS 39515-40-7 and EC 254-484-5, while checking the actual stereochemical specification rather than accepting a name match alone. [EU identity record](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2018/1292/oj/eng)
- Check molecular formula C24H25NO3 and PubChem CID 38283 against the supplied structural record. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Cyphenothrin)
- Distinguish cyphenothrin from phenothrin by checking for the alpha-cyano group in its alcohol-derived portion; spelling similarity is insufficient evidence of identity. [EU structural identity](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2018/1292/oj/eng)
- Distinguish unspecified cyphenothrin from d,d,trans-cyphenothrin by measured stereoisomer composition: the WHO specification addresses an enriched material and must not automatically describe every cyphenothrin sample. [WHO specification](https://extranet.who.int/pqweb/sites/default/files/vcp-documents/WHOVC-SP_d%2Cd%2Ctrans-Cyphenothrin_2017.pdf)
