Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

On all soils, 2-Ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate was highly immobile with Rf values of almost 0. Rf values ranging from 0.13 to 0.91 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid, 0.31 to ca. 1 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid, and 0.08 to 0.62 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid, suggested that mobility of the degradates was significantly greater than the parental (2-Ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate. Rfvalues correlated fairly to well with soil organic matter, ranging from 0.480 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid, to 0.878 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
2-Ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate is highly immobile in soil, whereas its degradation products, 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid (aerobic), 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid (aerobic) and 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid are more mobile, the mobility increasing with polarity.

Executive summary:

The mobility of (2-ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate and its three major soil degradates, its initial hydrolysis product, 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid (aerobic), its second hydrolysis product, 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid (aerobic) and its reduction product, 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid (anaerobic) in soil was examined in relation to its potential to be leached by water.

Thin layer chromatography was performed using six soils from different geographical locations, with an organic matter content between 0.43 and 2.6% w/w of the soil, as the stationary phase. On all soils, (2 -ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate was highly immobile with Rf values of almost 0. Rf values ranging from 0.13 to 0.91 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid, 0.31 to ca. 1 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid, and 0.08 to 0.62 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid, suggested that mobility of the degradates was greater than that of the parental (2-ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate in the soil/water system. Rf values correlated fairly to well with soil organic matter, ranging from 0.480 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactate, to 0.878 for 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid, the anaerobic degradation product. The order of mobility was 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid > 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-amino benzoic acid > 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoyl lactic acid > (2-Ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate, with the parental substance being the less mobile of the tested substances.
