Title: Computer-assisted prediction of the degradation of chemicals: hydrolysis of amides and benzoylphenylureas
Abstract: Experimental kinetic data have been generalized to allow the quantitative prediction of the hydrolysis of amides and ureas under acid and base catalysis with the EROS 6 computer program. The two different reaction pathways have been compared revealing that base-catalysed hydrolysis at pH 7.0 is about 1000 times faster than acid-catalysed hydrolysis. The equations for calculating kinetic data have been applied to several benzoylphenylureas including important agrochemicals to predict half-lives and the amounts of products of the various hydrolysis pathways.
