Carbetamide [D( -) -phenylcarbamoyloxy -2 -(Naniline which were converted to the corresponding ethylpropionamide)] is a selective herbicide which amides with 4-bromobenzoyl chloride.

After acid hydrolysis the carbetamide than 0.02 ppm. afforded quantitative yields of ethylamine andpropionamide)] is an experimental selective herbicide C produced by Rhone-Poulenc, France. Since the compound is being considered for the control of certain weeds in cereals, wheat, barley, forages, and alfalfa by preemergence and/or postemergence applications, a method was needed to determine the residues of this material. In studying its metabolism, Desmoras et af. (1967) found that aniline was present in plants in small quantities soon after treatment with the parent compound, but was rapidly eliminated. The degradation of carbamates in soil and crops has been extensively studied (Kaufman, 1967, for leading references) and aniline derivatives have been reported as metabolites of phenyl carbamates. Tilden and Van Middlelem (1970) succeeded in determining carbaryl as the amide derivative with electron-capture gas chromatography. The object of the present investigation was to develop a method that would be specific for carbetamide and at the same time detect the aniline metabolite.
