EC/MS was used to simulate the (bio)-transformation processes and to identify possible transformation products (TPs) which have never been reported before. For TDBP-TAZTO, six new TPs were observed after the electrochemical oxidation (applied potential of 0 to 1,800 mV vs. Pd/H2). In case of TTBP-TAZ, seven debromination products were generated with an applied potential of 0 to 2,200 mV vs. Pd/H2. The main degradation pathways confirmed by high resolution mass spectrometry for both compounds were hydroxylation, debromination as well as dehydrobromination.
