Abstract
The major metabolic pathway for primisulfuron-methyl in animals involves hydroxylation of the pyrimidine ring followed by conjugation. This investigation found a unique metabolite in mice fed at high feeding levels (>5000 ppm) of the compound. The unique metabolite is identified as a disulfide dimer of the parent compound, and its synthesis is reported
