✦ Synopsis
The conversion of 17a-acetoxy-6a-methyl-4-pregnen-3,20-dione 3-oxime to the corresponding diketone in acidic media was found to be a first-order reaction at 37". The effects of incorporating ester groupings at the oxime function or a t the C-17 position and modifications in ring B were also investigated. Only the length of the ester chain at the oxime function had a profound effect on the rate constant. From these observations, it is proposed that two competing mechanisms of hydrolysis are involved for the oxime esters.

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of imidacloprid were studied at diþ erent pH values and under various temperatures. Imidacloprid was found to be stable in acidic and neutral water, but readily hydrolysed in alkaline water. The main hydrolysis product was found to be 1-[ (6-chloro-3pyridinyl)methyl ]
