Solvent Effects in Degradation Kinetics of Emamectin Benzoate

Source

Avermectins are fermentation products with unique insecticidal properties which are useful in crop protection, animal health and human health. In this study, the degradation kinetics of MK-0244, a potent lepidoptericidal avermectin, were examined over a range of temperatures in selected solvents useful in crop protection. Data on initial solvolysis rates were used to obtain mechanistic and kinetic information about the degradation of MK-0244 under solvolytic conditions.
