Sh. Huttenhain et al., ON THE INTERACTION OF 2,3,3',4,4',6-HEXACHLOROBIPHENYL (PCB-158) WITHCALCIUM-OXIDE, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 6(7-8), 1997, pp. 456-460
The experiments showed the decline of PCB 158 in aqueous Ca(OH)(2) sol
ution However, the expected acetylated. phenol peak of the degradation
product did nor appear in the chromatogons. So we conclude that the n
ucleophilic substitution of PCB 158 by hydroxide ions does not lead ju
st to monohydroxy biphenyls.
