Abstract

Oxychlordane (C₁₀H₄Cl₈O), a minor heretofore unidentified metabolite, was isolated from fat of pigs on diets heavily dosed with pure isomers of the insecticide, chlordane (C₁₀H₆Cl₈). Chemical and spectroscopic evidence provides bases for proposal of structure of the metabolite as 1-exo-2-endo-4,5,6,7,8,8-octachloro-2,3-exo-epoxy-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoindene.
