Abstract
An improved method for the synthesis of substantially pure Permethrin having purity greater than 99.5% by Gas Chromatography provided. The embodiments also relates to a purification process of Permethrin by recrystallization from methanol-water mixture.
Claims7
A process for preparation of substantially pure pharmaceutical grade Permethrin whose purity is greater than 99.5% by blending Permethrin with varied isomeric ratio of cis:
- trans with trans Permethrin, wherein the weight of the two compounds to be blended is calculated as per the formula:

A process for preparation of substantially pure Permethrin with greater than 99.5% purity comprising the steps of:
- I. coupling of 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol with 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarbonyl chloride, in a suitable solvent to yield Permethrin
- II. purifying the Permethrin obtained in step I by recrystallizing in methanol and water mixture to obtain a substantially pure Permethrin
- III. blending pure Permethrin of step II of varied isomeric ratio of cis:
- trans with pure trans Permethrin to obtain substantially pure Permethrin with desired isomeric ratio.
