Abstract
To examine the photostability of the fungicide triadimefon [1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1H-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-one] in the field, model experiments with organic solvents were performed. Photolysis in methanol, hexane, and acetone resulted in considerable formation of 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one, 1-[(4-chlorophenoxy)methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one, and 1-phenoxy-3,3-dimethyl-1H-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-one. The rate of photodegradation in different solvents followed first-order rate kinetics with a significant correlation coefficient. Keywords: Triadimefon; photodegradation; photoproducts; solvents; rate kinetics
