Abstract
The photodegradation of aqueous alcoholic solutions of fenarimol at lambda greater than or equal to 250nm has been examined. UV irradiation of an aque ous methanolic solution for 24h yielded two photoproducts, identified as 2, 4'-dichlorobenzil and p-chlorobenzoic acid, while irradiation of a solution in aqueous isopropanol yielded p-chlorobenzoic acid and: two additional pr oducts identified as 2,4'-dichlorobenzophenone and o-chlorobenzoic acid. A mechanism for the formation of the photoproducts is suggested. (C) 2000 Soc iety of Chemical Industry.
