β¦ Synopsis
A route for 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) immobilization on silica gel was established after reacting at the first stage the precursor silylant agent 3-trimethoxysilylpropylamine to the support. The pesticide was covalently bonded to available amine groups of the precursor, giving 1.03 mmol of amine per gram of silica. Infrared, (13)C, and (29)Si NMR spectra are in agreement with the proposed reaction between nitrogen of the amine group of the previously anchored silica to carbon on the para-position of the aromatic ring of the pesticide. The immobilization is clearly affected by the presence or absence of disprotonating agent, to give 12.50 and 68.40% reaction yield, respectively; these results were confirmed through elemental analysis.
