Usage

General Description

2-(Ethylamino)-4-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H12N6. It is a derivative of s-triazine and contains two amino groups - one ethylamino and one isopropylamino group. 2-(Ethylamino)-4-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine is commonly used as a herbicide, specifically as a selective herbicide for controlling broadleaf weeds in crops like corn and sorghum. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, leading to their eventual death. However, it is important to handle this compound with caution as it is toxic to aquatic organisms and has the potential to contaminate groundwater.

Reductive dechlorination of atrazine using sodium-borohydride catalysed by cobalt(II) phthalocyanines

A series of functional metallophthalocyanines have been synthesized to study their role as a catalyst towards the reductive dechlorination of atrazine using sodium borohydride as a mild reducing agent. The cobalt(II) phthalocyanine bearing nitro groups at the peripheral position is the most efficient catalyst with exceptionally high catalytic activity in comparison to other functional cobalt(II) phthalocyanines.

Electrocatalytic dechlorination of atrazine

Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine), a photosynthetic inhibitor that is used in large quantities for weed control in corn and sorghum, is dechlorinated in aqueous solution upon electrolysis at a reticulated vitreous carbon cathode

Kinetic and mechanistic aspects of the direct photodegradation of atrazine, atraton, ametryn and 2-hydroxyatrazine by 254 nm light in aqueous solution

Atrazine (1), Atraton (2) and Ametryn (3) are photodegraded upon 254 nm irradiation, yielding 2-OH-atrazine (4) as a photoproduct. Dealkylation products are also generated, and 4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-(1,3,5)-triazine was also found as a photoproduct of 3. The main photoreaction is proposed to be an addition-elimination, yielding 4, which subsequently photodegrades. The ease of photodegradation depends on the electron availability at position C-2, the observed order of photoreactivity being 1 > 3 > 4 > 2. Copyright
