Abstract: Monosulfuron was identified by m.p., IR, NMR, MS, UV and HPLC/MS analysis in this study, the results indicate that, the active ingredient of monosulfuron was N-[2'-(4'-methyl) pyrimidyl]-2-nitrobenzensulfonylurea, it's main impurities were 2-amino-4-methylpryrimidine, 2-nitrobenzensulfonamide and ethyl 2-nitrobenzensulfonyl carbamate. The method of reverse HPLC analysis for active ingredient and main impurities in monosulfuron were established by using 250 mm× 4.6 mm stainless column of ODS 5 μm with V(CH3OH)∶V(H2O)= 60∶40 containing H3PO4 ( pH 3.0) as a mobile phase, 0.8 mL/min of flow rate, 225 nm as UV determination wave length. All components of monosulfuron which consisted of more than 0.1% were quantitated.

Key words: Monosulfuron, Sulfonylurea herbicide, HPLC/MS
