The synthesis of chlorinated alkylbibenzyls and 9-chlororetene is desc
ribed. These compounds were sythesized for use as model compounds in a
nalytical and toxicological characterization. The structures of the sy
nthesized model compounds found to be very similar to those identified
in pulp mill effluent and products. The H-1 NMR and mass spectral dat
a for the compounds are also reported.
