Abstract

In this study, the hydrolysis of amisulbrom in buffer solutions and natural water samples were investigated. Effects of pH and temperature were tested in buffer solutions. Amisulbrom was stable in acidic and neutral aqueous solutions at 25°C, while quickly hydrolyzed with a half-life of 4.5 days (25°C) at pH 9.0. The kinetics rate equation was determined as k = 1.0234 × 1010 exp (−61.3760/R·T) (R2 = 0.9642) for hydrolysis of amisulbrom at pH 9.0. The pH, ionic strength, and solubility were important factors influencing the hydrolysis of amisulbrom in natural water samples. Furthermore, three hydrolysis products were separated and identified in buffer solution (pH 9.0) and natural water samples. A tentative transformation mechanism of amisulbrom was proposed to rationalize the formation of HPs (hydrolysis products) based on their structural identification, DFT (density functional theory), and hydrolysis profiles. Toxicity prediction using the quantitative structure–activity relationship model revealed that the HP-I, and HP-II were more toxic than the parent amisulbrom. This investigation was the first to evaluate the behavior of amisulbrom hydrolysis in aquatic systems.
