B. Krock et al., STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF A MAIN HEPTACHLORO CONGENER OF TOXAPHENE IN MARINE ORGANISMS AFTER ISOLATION FROM MELIPAX(R), Chemosphere, 33(6), 1996, pp. 1005-1019
An abundant heptachloro bornane in cod livers, TOX7, has been isolated
by repeated high performance liquid chromatography. Its identity was
confirmed by GC/MS in the EI and ECNI mode. Larger quantities of TOX7
were isolated from Mehpax(R) and its structure was elucidated by EI ma
ss spectrometry and H-1-NMR measurements as 2-exo, 3-endo, 5-exo, 9, 9
, 10, 10-heptachlorobornane. The structural similarity of TOX7 with TO
X8 as well as Parlar #41 were discussed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier S
