Field and laboratory studies have demonstrated that bentazon (3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide) can effectively control velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic) before the weed emerges from the soil. Laboratory experiments showed that the effectiveness of the bentazon depended upon its concentration in the soil and on the weed seeds being in or above the soil layer containing the herbicide. Experiments in the field relating velvetleaf control to bentazon residues in soil showed that velvetleaf can be controlled in southwestern Ontario when bentazon residues in the surface layers of soil exceed 0.2 kg/ha. Bentazon was rapidly degraded in two soils in southwestern Ontario with residues of less than 0.02 kg/ha 40 days after application. Degradation was closely approximated by first order rate law. Thus, an application of 1.0 kg/ha of bentazon should have residual preemergence activity against velvetleaf for 3–12 days after application.Key words: Degradation, residues, herbicide

Abstract Scheele and Bielstein recently have commented at length on the copolymerization (CP) theory of vulcanization which we proposed. They find the theory untenable with respect to TMTD vulcanization as well as with that using equivalent amounts of tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM) and sulfur. They feel that our presentation lacked in clarity and, therefore, that they did not understand it fully. Scheele and coworkers report that 66 per cent of the TMTD, or of the mixture of equivalent amounts of TMTM and sulfur, reacts to form ZnDMDC according to the first-order rate law during vulcanization in the presence of excess zinc oxide. This finding is a notable contribution. In particular, it suggests the possibility of sulfur-oxygen interchange as a feature of the overall reaction, which we may write:

The crown ether exchange could be studied in non-coordinating solvents by using the hy­drophobic complex [Co([18]crown-6)] + + . Appreciable outer-sphere association between complex and ligand (K°(50 °C) = 12 ± 0.5 M-1) occurs. This changes the second order rate law to first order (kmono(50 °C) = 7900 ± 500 s_1) with increasing ligand concentration. In the complex mer-[Co([18]crown-6)(CH3OH)3]+ + the stereochemical rearrangement of the uncoordinated part of the crown ether follows an intramolecular pathway via the complex [Co([18]crown-6)]++ as an intermediate product.

AbstractThe decomposition of tert. butylperoxypivalate dissolved in n-heptane has been measured ir-spectroscopically in optical high-pressure cells up to 2000 bar at temperatures between 65 °C and 105 °C. The reaction follows a first order rate law with an activation energy Ea = 122.3 ±3.0 kJ · mol-1 and an activation volume ⊿V≠ = 1.6 ± 1.0 cm3 mol-1 .

Abstract The reaction route of a dimeric non-phenolic C6-C2 type lignin model compound, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol (VIII), was kinetically examined under acidolysis conditions (0.2 mol l-1 HBr in 82% aqueous 1,4-dioxane at 85°C). The disappearance of (VIII) followed the pseudo-first-order rate law, and the rate constant k (VIII) was 0.00854. In the course of the reactions, the following compounds were produced quantitatively at any time: an enol ether, 1-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylene (IX), 2-methoxyphenol (X), and a Hibbert's ketone, 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetaldehyde (XI). The substances (X) and (XI) are the result of the β-O-4 bond cleavage and their amounts were always equal during the whole reaction. When (IX) was subjected to the acidolysis under the identical conditions, its disappearance followed the pseudo-first-order rate law, and the rate constant k (IX) was 0.00825. Furthermore, (VIII) was not observed at all, and (X) was produced quantitatively at any time. Based on these results, the formation rate of (IX) during the acidolysis of (VIII) is expressed by the equation: d[(IX)]/dt=A·k (VIII)[(VIII)]-k (IX)[(IX)], where A is the proportion of (VIII) that converted into (IX) when (VIII) degraded. It was confirmed by solving this differential equation that the formation and disappearance of (IX) is best simulated when A was assumed to be 1.00. Therefore, it was proven in this paper for the first time that (VIII) primarily converts into (IX), and subsequently the β-O-4 bond cleavage occurs and (X) and (XI) are yielded.

The kinetics of decomposition of the organo-thallic adduct formed in methanol between styrene and Tl(OAc)3, (C6H5—CH(OCH3)—CH2—Tl(OAc)2) has been studied in a water–methanol solvent. The reaction follows a first order rate law. The organo-thallic compound, RTl(OAc)2, is shown to be dissociated at low concentrations yielding two reactive species, RTlOH+ and RTl2+. The influence of acidity on the rate of decomposition shows that RTl2+ is much more reactive than RTiOH+. The kinetic parameters have been determined. The implication of the results on the rate-determining step of Tl(III) oxidation of styrene is discussed.

AbstractThe decomposition of di-tertiary-butyl-peroxide dissolved in n-heptane has been measured ir-spectroscopically up to pressures of 2300 bar at temperatures between 140 °C and 200 °C. The reaction follows a first order rate law with an activation energy Ea = 151.4 ± 1.6 kJ mol-1 and an activation volume ΔV ǂ = 10.1 ± 1.1 cm3 mol-1. The effectivity of the peroxide decomposition is discussed.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).
