Resistance has often been a problem or a potential problem for insecticides and this is one of the most important reasons why the insecticides with a new mode of action have been always desired, though it is quite a difficult task to find such molecules. Flubendiamide, discovered by Nihon Nohyaku (NNC), is a novel insecticide belonging to the new chemical class of 1,2-benzenedicarboxamides or phfhalic diamides, having a unique chemical structure (Figure 1) [1-3], Flubendiamide is co-developed by NNC and Bayer CropScience globally [4], The structure-activity relationships, the chemistry, including topics in process research, the mode of action and the biological profiles are described. 

Table I shows the insecticidal activity of 1,2-benzenedicarboxamides. Insecticidal activities are shown as EC5Q values against common cutworm Spodoptera litura) and diamondback moth Plutella xylostdla).
