This study investigates the hydrolysis kinetics of fenthion and its five oxidation metabolites in pH 7 and pH 9 buffered aqueous media at 25, 50, and 65 degrees C. Five metabolites and three hydrolysis products were synthesized and purified. The reactant and the corresponding hydrolysis products were determined by HPLC. Rate constant and half-life studies revealed that fenthion and its metaboli...
