Summary

Dechlorinated products were isolated from the urine of rats that were administered chlorobiphenylols, the primary hydroxylated metabolites of PCB in mammals. The mechanism of chlorine loss from chlorobiphenylols is different from the mechanism of dechlorination via arene oxides whereby concomitant hydroxylation is always observed.
