Conazole Fungicides as Chiral Environmental Contaminants: Enanti...

Conazoles are triazole compounds, many of which are in wide use as agricultural and medicinal fungicides. Opportunities exist for them to contaminate the environment and, since they are all chiral molecules, they are apt to be degraded enantioselectively by indigenous microbes.

To characterize such enantioselectivity, it is necessary to analyze environmental samples for the separate conazole enantiomers.

In most of the present study, enantiomer analysis was accomplished using a BGB-172 chiral GC column; detection was by GC-MS.

For occasional confirmation,...
