Studies in detoxication. 66. The metabolism of halogenobenzenes. 1:2:3-, 1:2:4- and 1:3:5-trichlorobenzenes

Abstract

The trichlorobenzenes are decomposition products of the insecticide benzene hexachloride (gam- mexane). On treatment with alkali, the x-, p-, y- 37-3; H, 1-3; Cl, 47.2%.) The 8emiearbazone, m.p. 236, formed pale-yellow needles from aqueous ethanol. (Found: C, 34-1; H, 2-4; Cl, 37-7. C8H60N3C13 requires C, 34-0; H, 2-1; Cl, 37-7 %.) The aldehyde in N-NaOH was treated with H202, as described by
