Isobenzan (telodrin) is a highly toxic organochloride insecticide. It was produced only in the period from 1958 to 1965 and its use has been since discontinued.[1] It is a persistent organic pollutant that can remain in soil for 2 to 7 years, and the biological half-life of isobenzan in human blood is estimated to be about 2.8 years.[1]

It is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States as defined in Section 302 of the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. 11002), and is subject to strict reporting requirements by facilities which produce, store, or use it in significant quantities.[3]

Production

The precursor 4,5,6,7,10,10-hexachloro-4,7-endomethylene-4,7,8,9-tetrahydrophthalane can be obtained in two synthetic routes. In a synthesis method report published in 1954, 1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-2,3-bishydroxymethylbicyclo[2,2,1]hept-5-ene is obtained, which is then dehydrated to the precursor.[4] In 1961, a direct preparation of the precursor via a Diels-Alder reaction with hexachlorocyclopentadiene and 2,5-Dihydrofuran was found.[5] The target compound is then synthesized by photochlorination of the precursor.[6][4][7][8]
