| Notes: | This substance is one of the two components of commercial endosulfan [115-29-7]. The α- and β-forms of endosulfan were originally misidentified as different geometric isomers, and were later shown by Schmidt et al. to be different conformations of a single isomer: Schmidt WF, Hapeman CJ, Fettinger JC, Rice CP, Bilboulian S. Structure and asymmetry in the isomeric conversion of β- to α-endosulfan.
