A new enantiomerically pure potential toxaphene congener (C10H9Cl9) has been isolated from a reaction mixture obtained by the free radical chlorination of (1S)‐2‐endo‐chlorobornane and its absolute configuration determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. This is the first report of the preparation of a single enantiomer of a synthetic polychloroterpene on a multi‐milligram scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
