Determination of propylenethiourea and related compounds by HPLC
thesis
posted on 2017-12-18, 09:31 authored by Vera L. KamienskiPropylenethiourea (4-methylimidazolidine-2-thione) is the major
breakdown product of Propineb, a fungicide of the
propylenebisditiocarbamate group.
The degradation pattern of Propineb is analagous to those of
ethylenebisdithiocarmabates which give ethylenethiourea as the principal
metabolite. This compound has been reported to possess a carcinogenic
activity. [Continues.]
