Aquatic oxidation of sulfonamide antibiotics
Peter Tentscher discovers a new reaction mechanism describing an oxidation pathway of sulfadiazine and other sulfonamide antibiotics in natural waters.
Our results are described in an article entitled, "Aqueous oxidation of sulfonamide antibiotics: aromatic nucleophilic substitution of an aniline radical cation" that will soon be published in Chemistry - A European Journal.
