Melo, M. J. published the artcilePhotochemistry of 2-(2-furyl)benzimidazole (Fuberidazole), COA of Formula: C9H8N2O2, the main research area is photolysis furylbenzimidazole; benzimidazole furyl photolysis; Fuberidazole photolysis.
The photodegradation of 2-(2-furyl)benzimidazole (Fuberidazole) has been reinvestigated employing advanced HPLC-UV/VIS technique and fluorescence emission and excitation spectroscopy in methanol at natural pH, in acidic medium and in aqueous solutions at pH 7 and 3; four main products, benzimidazole-2-carboxylic acid, its Me ester, 1-methoxybenzimidazole, and Me 4-oxo-2-benzimidazolecrotonate (cis and trans isomers), besides benzimidazole and 2,2′-bibenzimidazole and other side products, have been isolated and characterized. The kinetics of the photodegradation process were followed independently by HPLC-UV and fluorescence emission and showed significant similarity; this allowed monitoring of a photodegradation at very low concentrations (5 × 10-5-5 × 10-6 M). The quantum yield of disappearance of Fuberidazole has been determined
