Nature volume 224, pages 283–284 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

THE photo-isomerization of 1,2,3,4,10,10-hexachloro-6,7-epoxy-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-exo-1,4-endo-5,8-dimethanonaphthalene (HEOD) has been reported by several authors1–7. The structural formula of the product is known (Fig. 1) and we now report the results of a preliminary study of its metabolism.
