Abstract
Some time ago we found1 that the hexachlorocyclodiene pesticides aldrin (1) isodrin (2) dieldrin (3) and endrin (4) (and several related compounds) were stereo-selectively monodehalogenated at the dichloromethylene bridge by heating with the elementary reagent Na(K)OR-DMSO (with or without added ROH) giving e.g. from aldrin and isodrin the pentachloro compounds (5), (6). The dienes (5) and (6) behave as expected when treated with acetic-sulphuric acid mixtures, dechloroaldrin giving almost entirely unrearranged acetate (7) and ca. 1% of a tetrachlorocarbonyl compound (√max 1785 vs cm.-1 m/e 310) whilst dechloroisodrin, charatteristically, gives predominantly the half-cage acetate (8).
