Hydrolysis

Due to its chemical structure, diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) cannot be hydrolyzed. The structure of the molecule does not contain hydrolysable groups.

Phototransformation in water

Photolytic half life of 2,6-DIPN (used as supporting substance) in distilled water was 16 h using a high pressure mercury lamp as irradiation source. For 2,7-DIPN, a half-life of 6.4 h was determined. In salt water, phototransformation was accelerated (half-life of 2,6 DIPN in 0.5 M NaCl < 4 h).

Phototransformation in soil
