Abstract :
The kinetics of the photochemical degradation of the nitromusk compounds musk xylene (MX), musk tibeten (MT), musk ketone (MK), musk ambrette (MA) and musk moscene (MM) in water was evaluated. The kinetics were of pseudo-first order. Different transformation pathways are discussed, nitromusks with two nitro-groups next to the tert. alkyl-group, i.e. MX, MK and MT undergo molecular reactions, whereas for MA and MM molecular reactions are favoured.
