Definition

ChEBI: A sulfonamide obtained by the formal condensation of perfluorooctane-1-sulfonic acid with ethylamine.

Agricultural Uses

Insecticide, Acaricide, Termiticide: Used as ant, roach and termite trap bait. Not listed for use in EU countries. Actively registered for use in the U.S. According to the Fluoride Action Network, this chemical is not registered for use on food or crops and is scheduled to phased out by 2016.

Metabolic pathway

Sulfluramid is a highly fluorinated sulfonamide which was introduced relatively recently for the control of ants and roaches. It is also used now for the control of the red imported fire ant (Solenupsis invicta). Its fate in rats has been studied but, due to its limited use pattern, there appears to be no information yet published on its environmental fate nor on its metabolism in plants. It is biotransformed by N-de-ethylation to an insecticidally active and toxic metabolite.

Degradation

Sulfluramid is stable for more than 90 days at 50 °C and it is similarly stable in light under glass. Though a weak acid, it is highly lipophilic due to the perfluorooctyl group.
