Kinetics and Mechanism of Hydrolysis of Insecticidal Imidacloprid

살충성 Imidacloprid의 가수분해 반응 메카니즘

The rate of hydrolysis of insecticidal 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl) -2-nitro-iminoimidazolidine (common name; imidacloprid) have been investigated in 15%(v/v) aqueous dioxane at $45^{\circ}C$. From the kinetics and non-kinetics data such as pH-effect, solvent effect(m=0.04, n=0.30 IT m<${\Delta}H^{\neq}=16.14kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}\;&\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}=-0.03e.u.$), rate equation ($k_{obs.}=4.56{\times}10^{-3}[OH^-]$) and analysis of hydrolysis product, 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl-2)-imidazolidinon, the hydrolysis mechanism of imidacloprid is proposed that the specific base catalyzed hydrolysis($K_{OH^-}$) through nucleophilic addition-elimination ($Ad_N-E$) mechanism proceed via intermediate, 1-(6-chloro-3- pyridylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-2-imidazolidinylisonitraminate (I) and ${\beta}$-3-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)aminoethyl-1-nitrourea(III). And the half-life(t1/2) of hydrolytic degradation at pH 8.0 and $45^{\circ}C$ was about 4.5 months.

중성과 알카리성의 $45^{\circ}C$, 15%(v/v) dioxane 수용액중에서 살충성 imidacloprid (lUPAC:1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-3-N-nitro-iminoimidazolidine-2-ylideneamine)의 가수분해 반응속도 상수를 측정하고 pH-효과, 용매효과(m=0.04, n=0.30 및 m${\ll}$l), 열역학적 활성화 파라미터(${\Delta}S^{\neq}$=-0.03e.u. 및 ${\Delta}S^{\neq}=16.14\;kcal{\cdot}mol^-$), 반응 생성물 분석등의 결과로부터 반응 속도식($K_{obs}=4.56{\times}10^{-3}[OH^-]$)을 유도하여 특정 염기촉매 반응($K_{OH^-}$)으로 사면체($sp^3$) 중간체인 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-2-imidazolidinylisonitraminate(I)을 거쳐 imidazolidine 고리 열림반응으로 $\beta$-3-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)aminoethyl-1-nitrourea(III)를 경유한 다음에 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)aminoethyl-1-nitrourea(III)으로 분해되는 일련의 친핵성 첨가-제거($Ad_N-E$) 반응메카니즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 $45^{\circ}C$의 중성(pH 8.0)에서 반감기(t1/2)는 약 4.5개월로 잔류성이 큰 화합물임을 알았다.
