Notes:
Conclusions Both palladium and platinum catalysts are able to hydrodechlorinate toxaphene to a significant extent. However skeletal degradation occurs before complete reduction is achieved. Hence no quantitative response was obtained. These problems might be overcome by use of milder catalytic conditions and a longer residence time on the catalyst. However the mild homogeneous catalytic hydrodechlorination reaction developed by Cooper et al. (1979) has relatively little effect upon toxaphene. Unfortunately the reduction of toxaphene by heterogeneous catalysis yields a complex mixture of hydrocarbons due to facile rearrangement of the camphene structure. Prevention of this rearrangement occurring is unlikely and thus quantitation, if achieved will be by measurement of several components. Whilst this is unsatisfactory interference from other organochlorine species is readily avoided if a hydrodechlorination step is used in the analytical procedure for toxaphene.
