alpha-endosulfan


Status: ISO 1750 (provisionally approved)
IUPAC:
CAS: (3α,5aβ,6α,9α,9aβ)-6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin 3-oxide
Reg. No.: 959-98-8
Formula: C9H6Cl6O3S
Activity: insecticides (cyclodiene insecticides)
Notes: This substance is one of the two components of commercial endosulfan [115-29-7].
The alpha- and beta-forms of endosulfan were originally identified as different geometric isomers, but were later shown to be different conformations of a single isomer.
