The hydrolysis of the sulfonylurea herbicide triasulfuron [(2-(2-chloroethoxy)-N-[[4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5 -triazin-2-yl) amino] carbonyl]benzenesulfonamide] was studied in aqueous buffers of pH values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. The reaction was of first-order and pH-dependent. Triasulfuron was more persistent in neutral or weakly basic than in acidic solution. Five metabolites have been isolated and identified. At all pH values studied, the primary pathway of degradation was the cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge. However, minor degradation pathways have also been observed like O-demethylation and opening of the triazine ring. The product distribution was pH-dependent.

Abstract

The hydrolysis of the sulfonylurea herbicide triasulfuron [(2-(2-chloroethoxy)-N-[[4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5 -triazin-2-yl) amino] carbonyl]benzenesulfonamide] was studied in aqueous buffers of pH values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. The reaction was of first-order and pH-dependent. Triasulfuron was more persistent in neutral or weakly basic than in acidic solution. Five metabolites have been isolated and identified. At all pH values studied, the primary pathway of degradation was the cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge. However, minor degradation pathways have also been observed like O-demethylation and opening of the triazine ring. The product distribution was pH-dependent.
