General Description

2,4-(N,N'-Diisopropyl)diamino-6-methylsulfonyl-1,3,5-triazine is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H20N6O2S. It is commonly used as a herbicide and belongs to the class of triazine herbicides. Triazines are known for their wide spectrum of weed control and are commonly used in agriculture. This particular compound is known for its selective control of broadleaf weeds and grasses in crops such as corn, sorghum, and sugarcane. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, leading to their eventual death. However, it is important to use this chemical with caution as it can have negative effects on non-target plants and aquatic organisms.

Identification of disinfection by-products of selected triazines in drinking water by LC-Q-ToF-MS/MS and evaluation of their toxicity

During the development of an on-line solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (SPE-LC-UV) analytical method for determination of eight selected triazines; ametryn, atrazine, cyanazine, metrybuzine, prometryn, propazin, simazine, and terbutryn, in drinking water, it was observed that the retention times of three of them (ametryn, prometryn, and terbutryn) in Milli-Q water were different from those in chlorinated Milli-Q water, indicating the formation of new products. The cause of this change was found in the oxidation of the molecules as a result of chlorination with sodium hypochlorite. Experiments performed at varying concentrations of triazines and hypochlorite showed that the extent of the reaction depended on their relative concentrations. At the maximum admissible level of 100 ng/l for individual pesticides in drinking water, no apparent transformation was observed in the absence or at low concentrations (0.05 mg/l) of hypochlorite; however, on increasing the concentration of hypochlorite to the level typically present in drinking water (0.9 mg/l) the transformation was complete. The reaction is quite fast; within 1 h the parent compound is completely degraded and after 22 h the concentrations of the by-products are constant. Investigation of the by-products by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight- tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-ToF-MS/MS) has shown that all three triazines follow a similar transformation pathway, forming four new molecules whose structure have been elucidated. The acute toxicity of the new products was investigated using a standard method based on the bioluminescence inhibition of Vibrio fischeri, and the by-products showed a higher toxicity than that of the parent compounds.
