We have used thermospray LC-MS to confirm three highly polar metabolites (A, B. and G) of the herbicide hexazinone [3-cyclohexyl-6-(dimethylamino)-l-methy~-1,3.S-triazine-2,4( lH,3H)-dione]. and chemical ionization GC-MS to confirm two other metabolites (D and E) in extracts of soil and vegetation from a forest in the Central Alabama Piedmont. Selected-ion monitoring (SIM) of the protonated mol...

6-methyl-2-phenyl-7h-oxazolo [3,2-b] [1,2,4] triazine (1) undersent ting transformation on treatment with ammonia and primary amines to afford the corresponding imidazol [1,2-b][1,2,4] triazine (2). treatment of (1) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 3-aryl-4h-1,2,4- triazino [4,3-b][1,2,4] triazin-8 (1h)-one (3).

Within a study of the temperature dependence of NQR frequencies in some s-triazine derivatives [1], resonance frequencies at 4.2 K were determined in melamine, cyanuric acid, and cyanuric chloride. New lines, which were not reported so far, were detected in two of these compounds. In melamine, nine more lines were found as already described in [4], In cyanuric chloride, two more lines were foun...

Two types of simazine-degrading microorganisms were isolated from soil samples where the herbicide had been spread with the enrichment culture using simazine as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. A fungal strain, DS6F, identified as Penicillium steckii, is the first simazine-degrading fungus ever reported. Ž Simazine was gradually degraded by P. steckii DS6F in the mineral medium containing s...

Nine mycorrhizal fungi and free-living saprophytic microorganisms were tested for their ability to degrade two chlorinated aromatic herbicides at two herbicide concentrations and three nitrogen concentrations. Radiolabelled 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) were used as substrates at concentrations of 1 and 4 mM. After 8 week...

Eleven compounds have been synthesized in a series of [1, 3, 5] triazine analogues which, in addition to 4-amino benzonitrile, contain 8-hydroxy quinoline and different piperazines as well as piperidine substituents on the C-6 position of s-triazine ring. The title compounds were then evaluated for their in vitro microbial activity against 2 gram –Ve bacteria (E.coli, P. aeruginosa), 2 gram +Ve...
