Etude analytique par HPLC et spectrophotométrie UV de l'hydrolyse du méthiocarb en milieu aqueux

Written by sctunisie no comments

This paper deals with the kinetic hydrolysis mechanism of methiocarb or 3,5-dimethy1-4-thiomethylphenyl-N-methylcarbamate in aqueous media. This work is carried out by reversed phase Liquid Chromatography and UV Spectrophotometry. The obtained positive activation entropy ΔS = +32,30 J mole-1K-1, indicates an ElcB hydrolytic mechanism involving unimolecular decomposition of methiocarb via a methylisocyanate intermediate. This elimination process is confirmed by the position of corresponding to the methiocarb point on the Hammett and Brönsted line wich has been determined by Williams for a series of substituted N-methylcarbamate whose decomposition has been established to follow the ElcB mechanism.
