Abstract

The herbicide 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (amiben) was converted to N-(3-carboxy-2,5-dichlorophenyl)-glucosylamine, N-glucosyl amiben, in roots of plants treated with amiben. Identification of N-glucosyl amiben was accomplished by means of thin-layer and gas chromatography and confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. The postulated metabolite was synthesized and found to be identical with the product of amiben metabolism in plants.
