Abstract

Abstract Chlorotoluron technical and its 80% wettable powder were analyzed by 19 participants in a collaborative study. The analytical method used involves acid extraction to remove interfering free amines, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the extraction residue, distillation, and titration of the liberated dimethylamine. Related by-products which may interfere are determined by semiquantitative thin layer chromatography. Results obtained from 19 government and industrial collaborators showed good repeatability within laboratories. Good agreement was also achieved between laboratories. An overall coefficient of variation of about 0.8% was obtained. In 1974 the analytical method was accepted as a full CIPAC method. In 1975, the method was adopted as an official first action AOAC method.
