(2E)-1-[(6-Chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-1,3-dihydro-N-nitro-2H-imidazol-2-imine is an intermediate of WAK 4103 (W498200). WAK 4103 is a metabolite of Imidacloprid (I274990), a neonicotinoid; the active ingredient in certain neuro-active insecticides. Reports show that when exposed to neonicotinid pesticides honeybees have probelms returnign home after foraging and bumblebee colonies grow poorly and produce fewer queens.
