| Photochemistry of 2-(2-Furyl)-benzimidazole (Fuberidazole)  | | | | Abstract
| The photodegradation o f 2-(2-Furyl)-benzim idazole (Fuberidazole 1) has been reinvestigat ed employing advanced H P L C -U V /V IS technique and fluorescence emission and excitation spectroscopy in methanol at natural pH , in acidic medium and in aqueous solutions at pH 7 and 3, and four main products benzim idazole-2-carboxylic acid 3, its methyl ester 2, 1-methoxy benzimidazole 5, methyl 4-oxo-2-benzim idazole crotonate 7 (cis and trans isomers) besides benzimidazole 4 and 2,2'-bibenzimidazole 6 and other side products have been isolated and characterized. The kinetics o f the photodegradation process was followed independently by H P L C -U V and fluorescence emission showing a significant similarity o f the curve habit; this allows to m onitor a photodegradation at very low concentrations (5 -10-5—5 -10-6 M). The quantum yield o f disappearance o f Fuberidazole has been determined. | | | |
