摘要: THE molecules of several cyclodiene insecticides such as heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, α-dihydroheptachlor1, α-chlordane and β-chlordane are asymmetrical so exist racemic modifications capable, in principle, being separated into enantiomeric forms. Such compounds contain no functional groups amenable to the usual methods for resolution modifications, their separation forms has not been effected, although these might conceivably exhibit interesting differences interaction with biological systems.
