Usage

Uses

Since endrin ketone is a toxic byproduct and has been banned for use as a pesticide, it does not have any positive applications or uses in industries. Its presence is a concern for environmental and public health, and efforts are focused on monitoring, controlling, and mitigating its impact on ecosystems and wildlife.

New Photometabolites of Endrin

Photolysis of endrin (1) for longer duration (24 hr) in acetone yields three new metabolites formed by further loss of one chlorine atom from positions-11 (syn and anti) and 9 of initially produced photoendrin (2).Their structures (7-9) are based on spectroscopic evidences reported.

Apparent carbon-carbon bond cleavage in an epoxide. 2,3,4,5,6-Hexachloro-12-oxopentacyclo8,11.03,10.05,9>tridecane; a minor product from the acid treatment of endrin

The treatment of endrin (1) with sulfuric acid produces ketoendrin 2 from 6 to 8percent of another product that we show to be 2,3,4,4,5,6-hexachloro-12-oxapentacyclo8,11.03,10.05,9>tridecane 3, based initially on spectral evidence and confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study.The formation of 3 involves an apparent and unusual carbon-carbon single bond cleavage in an epoxide accompanied by cycloaddition to a proximate carbon-carbon double bond.This transformation probably proceeds by the route outlined in ref. 1.Some of the observed nmr parameters of 3 are discussed in the light of its structure and a comparison is made with the observed spectra for endrin (1).
