Diiodohydrazobenzene labelled at both nitrogens with nitrogen-15 was synthesized from the commercially available 15N-aniline (Scheme 8), and another sample, with carbon-13 at the 4-position of both rings, was synthesized from [l-13C]-4-nitrophenol that was available in Shine s laboratory (Scheme 9). 

Nitrophenols in fog and atmospheric particles were determined by GC of the underiva-tized compounds and their corresponding acetate esters. Four fused-silica columns were used with three alternative detection modes, namely mass-selective detection, nitrogen-specific detection and ECD. GC-ECD of the acetate derivatives gave the best results501. A capillary GC-UVD method was developed for the determination of small amounts of nitrophenols present in the environment. The method was compared with HPLC-UVD from the point of view of selectivity and sensitivity. LOD for GC were about one-tenth of those for HPLC502. 

Titanium dioxide suspended in an aqueous solution and irradiated with UV light X = 365 nm) converted benzene to carbon dioxide at a significant rate (Matthews, 1986). Irradiation of benzene in an aqueous solution yields mucondialdehyde. Photolysis of benzene vapor at 1849-2000 A yields ethylene, hydrogen, methane, ethane, toluene, and a polymer resembling cuprene. Other photolysis products reported under different conditions include fulvene, acetylene, substituted trienes (Howard, 1990), phenol, 2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,6-dinitro-phenol, nitrobenzene, formic acid, and peroxyacetyl nitrate (Calvert and Pitts, 1966). Under atmospheric conditions, the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals and nitrogen oxides resulted in the formation of phenol and nitrobenzene (Atkinson, 1990). Schwarz and Wasik (1976) reported a fluorescence quantum yield of 5.3 x 10" for benzene in water. 

Photolytic. A carbon dioxide yield of 19.7% was achieved when bromobenzene adsorbed on silica gel was irradiated with light (X >290 nm) for 17 h (Freitag et al., 1985). Irradiation of bromobenzene in air containing nitrogen oxides gave phenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4-bromophenol, 3-bromonitrobenzene, 3-bromo-2-nitrophenol, 3-bromo-4-nitrophenol, 3-bromo-6-... 

When nitrobenzene, with nitrogen as a carrier gas, was passed through a quartz cell and irradiated by two 220-volt arcs, nitrosobenzene and 4-nitrophenol formed as the major products (Hastings and Matsen, 1948). A rate constant of 1.4 x 10cmVmolecule-sec was reported for the gas-phase reaction of nitrobenzene and OH radicals in air (Witte et ah, 1986). 

Spiess et al. (1998) reported that the Mycobacterium sp. Strain HL 4-NT-l utilized 4-nitrophenol as a sole source of nitrogen, carbon, and energy. Under anaerobic conditions, 4-nitrophenol completely degraded to 6-amino-3-methylphenol via the intermediate 4-hydroxyaminotoluene. Under aerobic conditions, 4-nitrophenol degraded slightly releasing small amounts of ammonia. 

This family of organonitrogen pesticides includes the nitrophenols and their salts, for example, Dinoseb and the substituted dinitroanilines, trifluralin, and nitralin. Figure 3 shows a typical commercial process for the production of a dinitroaniline herbicide [8]. In this example, a chloroaromatic is charged to a nitrator with cyclic acid and fuming nitric acid. The crude product is then cooled to settle out spent acid, which can be recovered and recycled. Oxides of nitrogen... 

DNB included m-nitrophenol, m-aminophenol, resorcinol, fumaricacid, and some volatile fatty acids (Dey and Godbole 1986). A pure culture of Rhodococcus sp. isolated from soils contaminated with nitroaromatics was capable of using 1,3-DNB as a sole source of nitrogen. This culture metabolized 1,3-DNB to nitrite via a 4-nitrocatechol pathway even in the presence of high amounts of ammonia (Dickel and Knackmuss 1991). 

At low acid concentrations, nitric oxide tends to form. This evidently may attack nitrosophenol to form diazonium compounds directly. The diazonium salts, in turn, may couple with unreacted phenol to give colored products. Nitrous acid may also produce nitrophenols from phenols. The mechanism of this reaction may involve oxidation of initially formed nitrosophenols, homolytic attack by nitrogen dioxide, or nucleophilic attack by nitrite ions [1].
