Biodegradation of the explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro- |
|
1,3,5- triazine (RDX) occurs under anaerobic conditions |
|
to yield a number of products including: hexahydro-1- |
|
nitroso-3,5-dinitro-1,3,5-triazine, hexahydro-1,3- |
|
dinitroso-5-nitro-1,3,5-triazine, hexahydro-1,3,5- |
|
trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine, hydrazine, 1,1- |
|
dimethylhydrazine, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, formaldehyde, |
|
and methanol. A scheme for the biodegradation is proposed |
|
which proceeds via successive reduction of the nitro |
|
groups to a point where destabilization and fragmentation |
|
of the ring occurs. The non-cyclic degradation products |
|
arise via subsequent reduction and rearrangement |
|
reactions of the fragments. |
