Metabolism of 3‐chloro‐4‐methoxyaniline and some N‐acyl derivatives in soil

Abstract: 3‐Chloro‐4‐methoxyaniline at concentrations of 10ppm or more in soil is converted to a mixture of 3,3′dichloro‐4,4′‐dimethoxyazobenzene, 3‐chlorobenzoquinone‐4‐(3‐chloro‐4‐methoxy)anil and its reduction product 2,3′‐dichloro‐4‐hydroxy‐4‐'methoxydiphenylamine, probably by a free radical mechanism. The herbicide metoxuron, N'‐(3‐chloro‐4‐methoxyphenyl)‐N,N‐dimethylurea and its demethylated metabolites probably break down to the amine too slowly in soil for coupling products to be detected. 3‐Chloro‐4‐methoxyacet… Show more

“…We were unable to detect an azobenzene or other oxidation product of DCPD similar to that which has been reported for 3,4-dichloroaniline, a metabolite of the herbicide 3,4-dichloropropionanilide (propanil) (Bartha and Pramer, 1970) and for 3-chloro-4-methoxyaniline (Briggs and Ogilvie, 1971). Tweedy et al (1970a,b) also failed to detect azobenzene formation from metobromuron.…”

“…Tweedy et al (1970a,b) also failed to detect azobenzene formation from metobromuron. However, their experiments as well as ours were carried out under conditions quite different from these reported by Bartha andPramer (1970) andbv Briggs andOgilvie (1971).…”

“…The mechanism of the oxidative oligomerization of chloroanilines by oxidoreductases has been studied by some authors, who suggested reaction schemes consistent with one-electron oxidation, followed by a freeradical coupling reaction (Briggs and Ogilvie, 1971;Bordeleau et al, 1972;Iwan et al, 1976;Simmons et al, 1987).…”

“…The initial stimulation in both CO, evolution and 0, uptake during the first 2 weeks is a common feature of all the substituted ureas examined and has also been demonstrated for many other herbicides.20*21 It is possible that moieties, containing carbon, released by chemical or enzymic degradation of the herbicide molecule may increase microbial activity. This is more likely with the more readily degradable metoxuron, 22 where potential for increased microbial activity is also suggested by the initial increase in 0, uptake in glucose-supplemented soils, and the rise in numbers of bacterial propagules at 500 parts/million a.i. This would explain why the increase did not occur at 50 parts/million a.i.…”
